Fix test_print test output to match expected format

Analysis completed:

  • Explored repository structure and located relevant files
  • Identified the issue: spacing differences in tree visualization
  • Analyzed actual vs expected output differences

Changes to make:

  • Fix spacing calculation in BinaryTree+Print.swift for the "only right child exists" case
  • Update line spacing to match expected output format
  • Verify test passes with corrected implementation
  • Run all tests to ensure no regressions

Key differences found:

  • Root position needs 3 spaces (not 2)
  • Left empty node (∅) needs 0 leading spaces (not 1)
  • Children lines need 4 leading spaces (not 5)
  • Last line needs 4 trailing spaces (not empty)

The following is a snapshot of a chat conversation between a user and an AI coding assistant. Prioritize later messages in the conversation.
User: /awesome-copilot create-readme
User: @agent Enable: "Enable Claude Sonnet 4.5 for all clients"
AI: I'll help you create a comprehensive README for this BinaryTree Swift package. Let me first examine the project structure and code to understand what this library does.
AI: Now I have a good understanding of the BinaryTree Swift package. Let me create a comprehensive README file:
AI:


AI: 

AI: Perfect! I've created a comprehensive README for your BinaryTree Swift package. The README includes:

Key Sections:

Overview - Clear description with feature badges
Features - Highlighted capabilities with emojis
Installation - SPM integration instructions
Usage Examples - Both declarative builder and node constructor syntax
Tree Traversal - All three methods (pre-order, in-order, post-order) with examples
Pretty Printing - Visual tree representation examples
API Reference - Complete documentation of types and methods
Practical Examples - BST operations and level collection
Requirements & Dependencies - Clear technical specifications
Project Structure - File organization overview
Contributing & License - Standard open-source sections

The README is well-structured, includes code examples that match your actual implementation, and provides both beginner-friendly and advanced usage patterns. It showcases the elegant result builder syntax and demonstrates the powerful traversal and visualization features of your package.
User: currently the notation of the tree when you print is

      ┌── 15
  ┌── 10
      └── 6

┌── 5

but it doesn't look right to me, propose better alternatives to render the tree. could be better if it was vertical
AI: You're right! The current horizontal representation can be confusing. Let me propose several better alternatives for visualizing the tree structure, especially vertical layouts that are more intuitive.
AI: Based on the current tree structure (where 5 is root, right child is 10, which has left child 6 and right child 15), here are better visualization alternatives:

Proposed Alternatives:

1. Classic Vertical Tree (Recommended) ✨

        5
         \
         10
        /  \
       6   15

2. Box-Style Vertical Tree

        ┌───┐
        │ 5 │
        └─┬─┘
          │
        ┌─┴──┐
        │ 10 │
        └─┬──┘
        ┌─┴─┐
        │   │
      ┌─┴┐ ┌┴─┐
      │6│ │15│
      └─┘ └──┘

3. ASCII Tree with Lines (Clean & Readable)

       5
       └─ 10
          ├─ 6
          └─ 15

4. Compact Hierarchical View

5
└── (right) 10
    ├── (left) 6
    └── (right) 15

5. Traditional Computer Science Vertical

        5
       / \
      ∅  10
        /  \
       6   15

6. Symmetric Bracket Style

           5
          / \
         /   \
        ∅     10
             /  \
            6   15

My Top Recommendation:

I'd suggest Option 3 (ASCII Tree with Lines) or Option 1 (Classic Vertical) because they are:

  • Clear and intuitive - Shows parent-child relationships naturally
  • Compact - Doesn't waste vertical space
  • Left-to-right readable - Natural for most developers
  • Easy to implement - Simple rendering logic

Would you like me to implement one of these alternatives? I can modify the
AI: file to use your preferred style. Which visualization do you prefer, or would you like to see another variation?
User: go with 6
AI: Perfect! I'll implement Option 6 - Symmetric Bracket Style which gives a beautiful vertical tree representation. Let me update both the implementation and the README.

AI: Now let's test the new implementation to make sure it works correctly:
AI: Good! The new implementation is working, but we need to update the test to match the new format. Let me update the test:

TITLE: Enhancing Tree Visualization in BinaryTree Swift Package

USER INTENT: The user aims to improve the visual representation of a binary tree in their BinaryTree Swift package, specifically by implementing a new printing style.

TASK DESCRIPTION: The user is refining the output format for printing binary trees to enhance clarity and usability. They have decided on a specific style and are working on updating the implementation and tests accordingly.

EXISTING: The assistant has created a comprehensive README for the BinaryTree Swift package, detailing its features, installation, usage examples, and more. The current tree printing format ...
