Bug: Prettier incorrectly adds parentheses when using new with a static property #2441

Description

@bilal-additio

Description:

When formatting code with Prettier in PHP 8.4, parentheses are incorrectly added to a static property when instantiating an object. This causes a syntax error and breaks the application.

Example:

Before Prettier:

$identifier = new Yii::$app->class([]);

After Prettier:

$identifier = new Yii::$app()->class([]);

Expected behavior:
Prettier should leave the code as-is without adding parentheses when using new on a static property.

Actual behavior:
Prettier adds () to the static property, resulting in invalid syntax.

Impact:
Code breaks when executed, causing runtime errors in applications using this pattern.
