Description

Describe the bug

I have this code and with the cursor on the b in abc I execute the function:
nvim-parameter-outer-1
This is what is selected:
nvim-parameter-outer-2

Expected behavior
I would expect abc, to be selected instead of all the parameters.

Output of :checkhealth nvim-treesitter

nvim-treesitter: require("nvim-treesitter.health").check()

Research direction

Reproduce the reported Parameter.outer selection using the Ruby example and inspect the plugin's textobject query or configuration for Ruby parameters. Confirm the selection boundaries, then verify that the same cursor position selects only abc, rather than all parameters.
