Research direction
Start by reading the linked upstream report at https://github.com/elm/compiler/issues/2281 and reproducing the failure with a long, single-line array literal. Trace the compiler's parsing entry point to identify the failing case. Done means these literals parse successfully and the edge case has regression coverage.
