Description
My head is spinning from theme issues between tmux, helix, and bat today. Currently, I'm trying to figure out why the syntax highlighting is different for the same file when viewed through helix and bat. Both are set to Catppuccin Macchiato.

Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by reproducing the same file and Catppuccin Macchiato theme in Helix and bat, then compare the reported highlighting differences with the seven-comment discussion. Done should identify the cause and define a reproducible, agreed correction or explanation.
