Research direction

Reproduce the problem in a newly generated Phoenix project's .eex files, focusing on the broken highlighting reported on lines 8, 20, and 29. Trace the bundle's .eex highlighting entry point and compare nested double-quote cases; done means those lines highlight correctly without breaking surrounding syntax.
