Research direction
Reproduce the parsing error for for (( expr1 ; expr2 ; expr3 )) ; do list ; done and trace the parser entry point that handles this shell construct. Done means explainshell.com renders the command without the reported unexpected token '(' error, with existing behavior still working for other commands.
