"""Tests for :mod:`physix.verifier.parser`.
The parser is the contract between LLM output and the simulator. Most
tests here exist because of a real failure mode caught during live
episodes — concretely, the velocity-alias rules and unknown-symbol
hints close grammar gaps that were silently scoring competent agent
outputs as ``r_format=0``.
