Description

The generator quotes content in parenthesis: Input string to AST:

body:not(.wp-admin)

Output string from AST:

body:not(".wp-admin")

Which will cause a parse error in the browser (Chrome).

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the code that converts AST back to string, specifically how it handles pseudo class arguments like :not(). The quotes are likely added unconditionally; need to remove them for arguments that are CSS selectors.
