Comments in the node line are not preserved

[yuriylesyuk]

Describe the bug
When updating/writing a node line with a comment, the comment at the end of the line is removed.

version of yq: 3.3.2
operating system: linux

Input Yaml

data.yml:

# things
a:
  b: # inventory
    c: fly # animal
    d: chair # furniture

Command
The command you ran:

yq w data.yaml a.b.c dog

Actual behavior

# things
a:
  b: # inventory
    c: dog
    d: chair # furniture

Expected behavior

# things
a:
  b: # inventory
    c: dog # animal
    d: chair # furniture

Might not be an option for you, but it's possible to get close to your desired output by putting the comments on their own lines

# data.yaml
# things
a:
  # inventory
  b:
    # animal
    c: fly
    # furniture
    d: chair

% yq w git-replay.yaml a.b.c dog
# data.yaml
# things
a:
  # inventory
  b:
    # animal
    c: dog
    # furniture
    d: chair

Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately, it is not an option. The comments I need to work with are pseudo-comments that contain instructions for templating substitutions. Moving it at a separate line breaks templating tool.

For example, this is an example of such yaml:

Thanks for the clear bug, this should be straight forward to fix
