Description

Whenever an AA has parse errors, it seems to cause a ripple effect of additional errors on totally legitimate lines. We should add better error recovery for AA parse issues.

Research direction

Start by reproducing a BrightScript AA parse error and recording the additional errors reported on legitimate lines. Investigate the parser and its error-recovery behavior; done means malformed AA input no longer causes unrelated valid lines to produce ripple-effect errors.
