Description

The assembler accepts the placement of a "#" directly before a mnemonic. e.g., #jsr test
This seems to be an error to me.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported input #jsr test with the assembler and trace where a # immediately before a mnemonic is accepted. The issue does not identify a source file, test, or expected replacement behavior, so first establish whether this syntax should be rejected and how existing parser tests express invalid input. Done means the intended behavior is documented by a regression test and the assembler handles this case accordingly.
