Symbol? grammar action (#1202) and a returned view of a String parameter (#1203)Two defects. Read each issue (probe and To build) first. One commit per issue, each with its test and Fixes #N.
ident binding (Symbol) is wrapped in Some when the rule returns winnow_grammar::Symbol?, like every other type. Test in tests/compiler/tests/ with .stdout: the probe of #1202, called with words:, resolving the symbol through the table. Commit with Fixes #1202.text, assigned in the loop), not from its first, literal initializer; the probe lowers with the result tied to text and runs. Test in tests/compiler/tests/ with .stdout. Commit with Fixes #1203.Where the change sits in a tools/*.nika file, change the .nika and re-lower; new Rust only where the existing Rust code cannot be converted (CLAUDE.md, Written in Nikaia only), else stop and report blocked.
docs/builder-facts.md first. You work in /home/user/Nikaia on develop (the shared checkout). Build with CARGO_INCREMENTAL=0 cargo build --profile fast -p nikaia; use only /home/user/Nikaia/target/fast/nikaia.git add <files> only, never -a/-A; commit after each step. Never git reset, stash, checkout ., restore .; restore only your own files by name. An error in another agent’s file is escalated, not touched.lower-std changed, yours and others’. Do not edit docs/selfhosting-plan.md, docs/architect.md, docs/priorities.md, docs/bootstrap.md or scripts/self_hosting.py: rows for them go into Body: of your report.cargo fmt, cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings, nikaia run scripts/pre-push.nika, and the gate of .claude/agents/builder.md. You commit; the supervisor pushes.CHANGELOG.md, badges; no new NK code. New tests in Nikaia only; never the full suite. No foreground sleep, no polling; scripts in files.NIKAIA_CACHE_LIMIT=2G; if df -h /home/user shows under 2 GB free, stop and report blocked. Never delete another checkout’s target/./home/user/Nikaia/docs/briefs/bugs/b42-1202-1203-symbol-opt-and-param-view.md.report.md)Fields of docs/architect.md, Briefs and reports: Result: done|noop|partial|blocked (the bare word alone on that line: Result: done, never a summary after it, which cuts the batch, b869a 2026-10-27; Owner: is a question for the owner or none, never a role), Files, Commit, Body (optional, one paragraph for the commit message), Fixes, Pushed, Tests, Gate (green|red), Deviation, Found, Needs, Changelog, Owner, Disk freed, and for a move Rs2nika: (the kept N of M lines of rs2nika --score, then the three costliest hand edits; none for a task that moves no Rust). none where nothing, and then the bare word: Deviation: none (a note) cuts the batch (batch.nika compares exactly); a note goes into the commit message. Found: is only for a defect outside your change (it cuts the batch); a converter draft that came out wrong is no Found:, it is one of the costliest edits under Rs2nika:, which the converter lane reads (e12-4b 2026-10-27); how you solved your own step goes into the commit message. Deviation: is only a step of the brief built otherwise than written or not built (a choice the brief left to you, such as keep what X needs and say so, is no deviation: it goes into the commit message; nor is building two steps in one commit when every step is built, e12-3a 2026-10-27, nor a step another commit on develop already built, shown by your test failing with that commit’s change reverted, b889 2026-10-27: name the commit in Body:); how you verified (e.g. a test not run against the unfixed compiler) goes under Tests:. A noop says why under Tests: (what was probed), not under Deviation:. Final answer, one line: done <sha>, report <path> (or BLOCKED: ... / PUSH REJECTED ...).
