Brief: #557 step 4b, the parser’s helpers into Nikaia, second slice: the tree helpers, Parsed’s logic, the grammar-type copy (parser lane, Part #557)

Score: the parser port (owner, 2026-11-02, #1188: port to Nikaia, helpers first; step 4a answered no, so the rules are ported side by side and switched in one commit). The first slice (52ea0a2c, tools/parse_findings.nika) moved the error conversion and the findings. This slice moves the rest of the helpers that do not run the Rust grammar. S=1, C~3-5 M.

Owns: in crates/nikaia/src/parser/mod.rs:

Not yours:

To build

  1. flat_shape and lambda into tools/tree_build.nika. Commit parser: flat_shape and lambda from tools/tree_build.nika (#557 step 4b), Part: #557.
  2. Parsed’s logic, each method as its own piece. Commit after each finished piece or group, with Part: #557.
  3. expand_grammar_types/put_rule_types into tools/grammar_types.nika. Commit with Part: #557.

A piece whose body needs a form Nikaia, std or the toolchain lacks is sorted per CLAUDE.md A missing form stops the work:

rs2nika is deleted (docs/builder-facts.md): translate by hand; Rs2nika: none.

Done when

The owned pieces are Nikaia, or a blocker is reported with its probe. nikaia test tests/compiler --both-settings and tests/errors give every count as before; a test that fails only because the binary vanished mid-run is re-run singly. The it tests filtered on parse, grammar and span, plus the guard set of .claude/agents/builder.md. Clippy clean; the lower-std fixpoint holds. No changelog line. The scripts/self_hosting.py row for a new file goes into Body:.

Stop and report if

a .stderr of an existing test changes; the move needs a change in winnow-grammar; you meet a missing form of kind 2 (above).

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 ...).
