Research direction

Start with LookAheadPreservingNodeModelBuilder.replaceAndTransferLookAhead at line 44 and trace how it is reached through TokenSequencePreservingPartialParsingHelper.reparse and AbstractParser.reparse. Reproduce the Xtext editor reconciliation path shown in the stack trace, then identify a case that avoids the RuntimeException and verify it through the affected parsing flow.
