Brief: M3b, Program::of and Program::emit_reading of modules.rs into modules.nika (Part #125)

Score: self-hosting lane, bootstrap lane 1 (docs/bootstrap.md). Plan row M3b of docs/selfhosting-plan.md, Large files 3 (draft 100 %, prerequisite M3a built in 1890fc9). S=2, C~3-5 M (comparable: M3a, P4b). Runs after MF (manifest.rs); different files, both add to the index lowered.rs, so serial.

Cut: crates/nikaia/src/modules.rs:455-554 Cut: crates/nikaia/src/modules.rs:657-828 Convert: –profile check-free –prefix modules_

The driver converts this before you start (.draft.nika, .notes, .rs): start from it. Ranges at 06eaea6; if git log shows a later change to modules.rs (MF should not touch it), re-grep fn of( and pub fn emit_reading(. The draft keeps method shape and Rust names (m3a: --prefix was not applied to functions; P5a kept 6 of 104 lines by keeping methods): the target is free functions modules_program_of and modules_emit_reading over a host; keep the bodies, redo signatures and calls.

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

Facts

To build

  1. The two hosts and modules_program_of, modules_emit_reading into modules.nika with doc comments; Program::of and Program::emit_reading forward. lower-std: only lowered/modules.rs (and the index if a name is new) changes. Commit modules: the program's ledgers and its emission into Nikaia (M3b), Part: #125; plan row M3b updated (built, what stays Rust), self-hosting share in the commit body.

Rules (CLAUDE.md; this block is pasted into every brief, also a fix-forward)

Report (at most 15 lines, to exactly /home/user/Nikaia/docs/briefs/m3b-modules-program.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 process event such as another session resetting or rewriting your files is no Found:, it goes under Needs: (m3a 2026-10-28); 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:, nor re-keying an allow-list entry (KNOWN) whose hash changed for the same program and the same reason, b-fixforward-sweep2 2026-10-28: say so 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 ...).
