Recursive pre-commit failure: black reformats code that flake8 then fails

I'm encountering a persistent issue with the pre-commit hooks configured for this repository (with Black and Flake). Despite making the necessary code changes to comply with PEP8 and flake8 (e.g., line length, indentation, whitespace), the black formatter keeps reformatting the same files back to their previous state. This leads to a repeated cycle of pre-commit failures, even after restructuring the code as per the style guidelines.

Could you please check out the branch and try committing your code? I’ve hard-coded and aligned the line lengths for both Flake8 and Black to 119.
If it’s working, let me know so I can merge it into the master branch and check out from master.

Thank you, Michael. Now I am able to commit. I have committed our changes in the max-line-length branch. You can check it out and let me know what you think about our approaches.
