TextMate tokenizer enters incorrect scope after typeof a < "u" in JavaScript, affecting subsequent function declarations

Fresh install of VS Code with all default settings. No extensions installed, no custom configuration applied.
Also reproduced on VS Code for the Web (vscode.dev) with no extensions or custom configuration.

Reproducible Example

function bar() {
  return "bar";
}

var a = typeof a < "u";

function foo() {
  return "foo";
}

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install VS Code with all default settings (no extensions, no custom configuration).
2. Create a new .js file.
3. Paste the code above.
4. Run:

Developer: Inspect Editor Tokens and Scopes

5. Inspect the first function keyword (bar declaration).
6. Inspect the second function keyword (foo declaration).

Actual Result

The first function declaration is tokenized correctly:

storage.type.function.js
meta.function.js
source.js

The second function declaration is tokenized incorrectly:

entity.name.type.js
meta.type.parameters.js
meta.var.expr.js
source.js

Syntax highlighting becomes incorrect for all code following:

var a = typeof a < "u";

Expected Result

The second function declaration should receive the same scopes as the first:

storage.type.function.js
meta.function.js
source.js

No tokenizer state should leak past the end of the variable declaration.

Additional Investigation

Replacing:

var a = typeof a < "u";

with:

var a = typeof a > "u";

immediately fixes the issue. The second `function` is then correctly scoped as:

Notes

• Reproduced on a fresh VS Code install with all default settings and no extensions.
• Reproduced across all built-in themes; the issue is not theme-specific.
• The JavaScript is syntactically valid.

まず、JavaScript ファイルで例を再現し、「Developer: Inspect Editor Tokens and Scopes」を使用して2つの関数宣言を比較します。typeof a < "u" とその後の宣言を処理する TextMate 文法のルールを追跡します。完了条件は、2つ目の関数が1つ目と同じ scopes を受け取り、tokenizer の状態が後続のコードに漏れなくなることです。
