Research direction

Start by reproducing the provided CSS input through lightningcss's minifier, then trace how :where selectors and pseudo-elements are parsed and transformed. No source file or test is named, so locate the relevant parser or minifier tests before changing behavior. Done means the example no longer passes silently to the shown malformed output and the requested warning is covered by a regression test.
