      },
      {

      {
        "token_type": "enumMember",
        "token_modifiers": ["declaration"],
        "style": ["variant"]
      },
      {
        "token_type": "enumMember",
        "style": ["variant"]
      }
    ]
  }
}

Rust control-flow keywords, derive attributes, attribute punctuation, enum payload fields, module names, self, and enum member declarations/references need semantic token rules in Zed to match VS Code's rust-analyzer highlighting.
