Research direction

Start by reproducing the provided Python URL string in VS Code 1.62 with the latest MagicPython commit and compare its tokenization with the screenshot. No source file or test is named, so locate the query-string handling in the syntax highlighter and add a regression check once the expected highlighting is established.
