refactor(parser): enhance parser types with improved imports and tests

- Fix import organization with TYPE_CHECKING pattern
- Add comprehensive ParseError tests for all initialization forms
- Test error type categorization and string representations
- Verify Context immutability and session state handling
- Ensure backward compatibility for ParseError creation
