Brief: K1+K2, the comptime sub-program’s tree work of comptime_run.rs into Nikaia (Part #125)

Score: self-hosting lane, bootstrap lane 1 (docs/bootstrap.md, row: P1 settings, K1+K2 comptime tree, P5). Plan rows K1 and K2 of docs/selfhosting-plan.md (Large files: project.rs and parser/mod.rs), together: K2 is below 300 lines. S=2, C~3-5 M (comparable: P4b, M2). P1 (aab4d74) and P4b (8394790) are on develop, self-hosting 80.9 %.

Cut: crates/nikaia/src/comptime_run.rs:35-286 Cut: crates/nikaia/src/comptime_run.rs:439-484 Cut: crates/nikaia/src/comptime_run.rs:758-844 Cut: crates/nikaia/src/comptime_run.rs:914-1093 Convert: –profile check-free –prefix comptime_

The driver converts these before you start and names the draft (.draft.nika, .notes, .rs) in your prompt: start from it, do not cut or convert again. The architect’s trial run of the same cut drafted 6 TODOs: four collect into an Option (write the for loop that returns null at the first miss), one Some( in a struct pattern (#886: bind the field, test != null), one Option::map (let x = e ?? return null). The draft types every &Parsed as ref CheckWorld: that is the converter’s guess and wrong, see the host shape below. --prefix was applied only to the three clashing names: prefix every function of the new file comptime_.

If crates/nikaia-compiler/src exists, R0 (#921) has run: read every crates/nikaia-std/src/tools below as crates/nikaia-compiler/src, and nikaia_std::tools:: as nikaia_compiler::.

Facts

To build

  1. Start from the driver’s draft (report its kept N of M under Rs2nika:). Write tools/comptime_tree.nika with the K1 and K2 functions and their doc comments, in the host shape above; turn the Rust ones into thin adapters or delete them where no Rust caller is left; Computed becomes the re-export. lower-std: comptime_tree.rs is new and the index lowered.rs gains it; no other lowered file changes. Every printed message stays byte for byte.
  2. In docs/selfhosting-plan.md mark K1 and K2 built (comptime_tree.nika), and add comptime_tree.nika’s line to scripts/self_hosting.py (beside comptime_driver.nika, :122, in the same form: "comptime_run: ... (K1, K2)"); report the self-hosting % under Tests:.

A lowering defect met is fixed in the compiler as its own commit with a test (Fix, do not work around, CLAUDE.md), except #909 and #916 above; if it is more than one step, stop and report it under Needs:.

Done when

nikaia test --project tests/compiler once, no --both-settings (no check_*/emit_* file changes, bootstrap L4c); it tests filtered on comptime build_time grammar_at_build_time plus the guard set of .claude/agents/builder.md (not nikaia_test::the_compiler_test_package_*), once, at the end, beside clippy; cargo test --profile fast -p nikaia --lib comptime_run:: passes; clippy clean; lower-std fixpoint. Commit comptime_run: the sub-program's tree work into Nikaia (K1, K2), Part: #125. Changelog: none (a move).

Stop and report if

An open design choice beyond the ones left above; a .stderr or message that would change; a missing std call; an edit needed in contracts/* or check/*; an error in another agent’s file.

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 ...).
