Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reading the linked VS Code bracket pair colorization article and inspecting the Swift source-editor structure powered by tree-sitter. Define how nested bracket pairs should be matched and colored, then verify that deeply nested pairs are consistently distinguishable.

Description

enhancement
