fix: support parenthesized operation pipelines

[Seddryck]

Summary

• add a lossless parenthesized_expression grammar construct for grouping open and closed operation pipelines
• preserve inner and outer pipeline boundaries, including grouped expressions after map shorthand
• expose typed ParenthesizedExpressionSyntax and MapShorthandSyntax nodes in the C# binding
• add Tree-sitter and managed regression coverage for standalone, argument, pipeline, closed-expression, malformed, and map-shorthand composition

Root cause

Parentheses were only recognized as function-call argument delimiters. The grammar had no first-class grouped-expression construct, so |> (absolute | add(5)) failed at the opening parenthesis.

Validation

• npm run generate
• changed Tree-sitter corpus cases: all pass (the full Windows corpus run retains six unrelated CRLF snapshot mismatches)
• C# tests on net8.0: 83 passed
• C# tests on net9.0: 83 passed
• C# tests on net10.0: 83 passed
• git diff --check

The Node binding test remains blocked by the repository's existing Windows native-addon Release|Win32 build mismatch under Node 24.

Closes #58

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Added support for parenthesized expressions in pipelines, function arguments, and map shorthand syntax.
  • Parenthesized expressions preserve their original text, spans, grouping, and pipeline boundaries.
  • Added support for grouping complete and incomplete pipeline expressions.

• Tests

  • Expanded coverage for parsing, composition, preservation, and error handling of parenthesized pipelines.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The grammar now parses parenthesized root expressions in pipelines, arguments, and map shorthand. C# bindings expose typed syntax nodes for these forms. Tests cover grouping, nesting, source preservation, pipeline boundaries, and malformed input.

Changes

Parenthesized pipeline expressions

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Grammar and syntax contracts grammar.js, src/grammar.json, src/node-types.json, bindings/csharp/Expressif.Syntax/SyntaxNodes.cs	The grammar accepts parenthesized root expressions in pipelines, map shorthand, and positional arguments. Syntax metadata and C# syntax kinds define the new nodes.
C# syntax binding bindings/csharp/Expressif.Syntax/ExpressifSyntax.cs	Parsing dispatches map shorthand and parenthesized expressions to dedicated binders. The binders create typed nodes and validate nested fields.
Pipeline grouping validation test/corpus/parenthesized-expressions.txt, bindings/csharp/Expressif.Syntax.Tests/SyntaxBindingTests.cs	Tests cover standalone and nested pipelines, function arguments, closed pipelines, map shorthand boundaries, lossless syntax data, and incomplete input recovery.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 690bd

Valid parenthesized map-shorthand expressions are accepted by parsing but fail during C# binding, causing users to receive an exception for supported syntax. Merge should wait until the binding branch and regression test are added.
