    for grammar in grammars:
        errors[grammar.version] = InvalidInput()

Start with the B909 implementation and reproduce the reported false positive using the lib2to3_parse example. Review the linked Black CI run for additional cases, then establish regression coverage showing that valid code is no longer flagged while genuine B909 violations remain detected.
