Description
**What problem does this solve?**
Large `.weir` files can get pretty dense. Syntax highlighting would help.
**Component**
- [ ] Core engine
- [ ] Plugin/Extension
- [x] Other: _____
It would actually be a new component. Possibly even an external component in its own repo.
[TextMate](https://github.com/Automattic/harper/issues/2511) is the standard used by VS Code. Unlike a Tree-Sitter grammar, it wouldn't be usable for grammar checking `.weird` files in Harper.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the linked TextMate issue (#2511) and review how this repository defines plugin or external-component boundaries. Decide whether the grammar belongs in Harper or its own repository. Done means a TextMate grammar provides syntax highlighting for .weir files and its ownership and integration scope are settled.
