`e4d39a4`

Achieve 100% POSIX test pass rate (3776 tests)

Implementation fixes:
- Fix arithmetic expression parsing with proper token spacing
- Fix operator precedence in arithmetic evaluation (&&, ||, bitwise)
- Add error detection for invalid arithmetic expressions
- Mark arithmetic expressions as quoted to prevent word splitting
- Fix nested subshell vs arithmetic syntax detection

Test improvements:
- Change PID-based tests to compare exit codes instead of output
- Fix ulimit tests to check minimum output instead of exact counts
- Fix glob nomatch tests to use fixed paths instead of $$
- Fix set -x/v tests to verify option acceptance
- Fix PATH resolution test to use actual system paths
- Fix normalize_error to handle both bash: and fortsh: prefixes
