b43: a tuple match subject with a list element (#1204) and a field of an unannotated list’s element (#1210)

Two defects. Read each issue (probe and To build) first. One commit per issue, each with its test and Fixes #N.

Steps

  1. #1204: each part of a tuple match subject is lent on its own (check_core_flow_arm by_reference, emit_match_subject), so match (xs[0], w) over xs: ref Vec[K], K not Copy, compiles. Then replace b40’s nested-match workaround (the commit for #1161, ff731aa4; find it with git show ff731aa4) by the tuple match. Test in tests/compiler/tests/ with .stdout. Commit with Fixes #1204.
  2. #1210: text_tiers.nika records the struct of a list literal of struct literals on the local, so site.line.to_string() in a for over it is new text and the probe of #1210 compiles. Test in tests/compiler/tests/ with .stdout. Commit with Fixes #1210.

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.

Rules (CLAUDE.md; shared checkout)

Report (at most 15 lines, to exactly /home/user/Nikaia/docs/briefs/bugs/b43-1204-1210-tuple-subject-and-list-literal.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 ...).
