Research direction

Start by reading the JSON path cases at spec/workflow/intrinsic_function/parser_spec.rb#L161-L163 and compare the expected odd path forms with the current parser behavior. Identify the parser entry point used by intrinsic functions, then extend coverage so those specified cases parse correctly and the parser specs pass.
