docformatter doesn't correctly recognize the short form of anonymous hyperlink references (__ URI) as a special block, and merges them into the preceding paragraph:
"""[...]
This graphics format generates terminal escape codes that transfer
- PNG data to a TTY using the `kitty graphics protocol`__.
-
- __ https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/graphics-protocol/
+ PNG data to a TTY using the `kitty graphics protocol
+ `__. __ https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/graphics-protocol/
"""
This breaks the reST, and makes Sphinx unable to correctly process the reference.
Note that this only affects this shorter form; the long form (.. __: URI) is unaffected. The following variation (correctly) remains unchanged by docformatter:
"""[...]

Bisecting brought up 7898b69f49d43a0a0ac63a8e92afac974a478383 as the first "bad" commit, which is exactly v1.6.0. The earlier 917fed92248d1fb91a1f4da61b5aaaec7367fe23 also changed the output already, but in a slightly different way and it was probably rewritten anyways.
