# Syntax Error Investigation Notes

## Error Details
- **File**: `Helper/WinRepairGUI.ps1`
- **Line**: 126, Column 20
- **Error**: "Missing closing '}' in statement block or type definition"
- **Token**: `{` (opening brace of `function Start-GUI {`)

## Structure Analysis

### Functions in File
1. `Get-Control` (lines 96-124) - ✅ Properly closed
2. `Start-GUI` (lines 126-3806) - ⚠️ Parser reports missing closing brace
3. `Update-StatusBar` (lines 1128-1192) - Nested inside Start-GUI
4. Other nested functions inside Start-GUI

### Code Structure
- Line 126: `function Start-GUI {` - Opens
- Line 128: `$XAML = @"` - Here-string starts
- Line 560: `"@` - Here-string ends
- Line 631: `$W=[Windows.Markup.XamlReader]::Load(...)` - Window created
- Line 3805: `}` - Closes try-catch block
- Line 3806: `}` - Should close Start-GUI function

### Observations
1. The function appears to be properly structured
2. All braces appear to be balanced
3. The error is reported at the opening brace, not the closing
4. PowerShell's tokenizer may be having issues with:
   - The large here-string (432 lines)
   - The nested functions inside Start-GUI
   - The structure of the function

## Attempted Fixes
1. ✅ Moved `Get-Control` outside of `Start-GUI`
2. ✅ Added comment before here-string
3. ✅ Verified function closing braces
4. ⚠️ Error persists

## Next Steps
- Other agent is working on this issue
- SuperTest successfully caught the error (working as designed!)
- Once fixed, SuperTest will verify the fix

## Notes
- Linter shows no errors (may use different parser)
- PowerShell's PSParser tokenizer reports the error
- The error may be a false positive from the tokenizer
- Or there may be a subtle structural issue not immediately visible
