Research direction
Start by locating the Python TextMate grammar used for VS Code and read PEP 677 alongside the existing grammar rules. Use the callable-signature syntax described in the issue as a highlighting example; done means the new syntax, including the arrow token, is highlighted without the reported red error.

VS Code includes a TextMate grammar for Python. Draft PEP 677 introduces a new syntax for annotating callable signatures. This PEP hasn't been ratified, but it's likely to be in the near future. I recently added support for this feature in pyright (and therefore, in pylance as well). The TextMate grammar will need to be updated to accommodate this new syntax. Currently, it causes VS Code to display the -> token in red.
