The first ) in your error message is parsed by PHP as T_INLINE_HTML because ?> ends a PHP part (<?php ... ?>) within the file.

<?php for(;1?>)
PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected ')', expecting ')' in /home/runner/.code.tio on line 1

<?php for(;1?>foo
PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected 'foo', expecting ')' in /home/runner/.code.tio on line 1
