Records: ADR-139 D1 and §4, ADR-251 (the ledger is the contract).
The doc column is in the ledger and std’s hundred and eight entries carry prose held there by a test. ADR-139 D1 gives a /// run in front of a field and a variant the same meaning as in front of an item, and the parser keeps neither. Nothing would read what the parser kept, which is why it sits still: nikaia doc is that record’s §4 and wants a record of its own, so this is one piece of work with that tool.
Needs: doc_here at a field’s and a variant’s first byte (the same hand-written parser the items use); a place on FieldDef and on EnumVariant; the reader that makes it travel; the tool, with its own record.
This ticket was flagged as needing a decision, but no decision is actually required. Everything needed is already fully stated in the ticket description itself.
This is a straightforward defect report and implementation mandate. The current handwritten parser silently drops /// documentation comments placed before struct fields and enum variants, directly violating the specification defined in ADR-139 D1.
To resolve this defect, the parser must be repaired by implementing doc_here at the first byte of both struct fields and enum variants. The AST data structures (FieldDef and EnumVariant) require immediate updates to store these extracted doc strings, along with the reader infrastructure necessary for downstream consumption. Finally, the nikaia doc CLI tool specified in §4 must be fully implemented and backed by its own dedicated ADR record.
