Change //# from being specially handled by each CST parser to being handled generically as a form of trivia (same as newlines, whitespace, // comments), but then specially reconstructed inside expression functions

Summary

  • keep //# invisible to normal parser lookahead so declaration and configuration loops recover like ordinary trivia
  • allow //# immediately before expression-function declarations as line-comment trivia, preserving function-level visualization labels
  • emit header comments (//#) are only allowed in expression functions whenever ordinary line-comment consumption encounters a header elsewhere
  • preserve structural HEADER_COMMENT nodes only inside executable blocks, match arms, and catch arms
  • cover expression functions and methods plus interface, class, enum, config, type-builder, LLM, and required-signature diagnostics

Parser model

current(), peek(), and at() continue looking through every line comment, including //#. This prevents headers from becoming grammar tokens or causing cascading parse failures. Declaration loops use raw lookahead to recognize the one trivia-only exception: a header whose following function has an expression body. bump() consumes other non-expression headers through the ordinary line-comment path and emits the targeted diagnostic. Executable expression loops inspect the raw token stream first and consume allowed in-body headers as structural nodes.

Validation

  • cargo test -p baml_compiler_parser (159 passed)
  • cargo test -p baml_fmt (125 passed)
  • cargo test -p baml_lsp2_actions_tests test_headers_ (21 passed)
  • cargo test -p baml_project (84 passed, 2 ignored)
  • compiler fixtures for allowed function-level headers and rejected LLM headers
  • self-hosting BAML bytecode corpus
  • cargo fmt --all -- --check
  • cargo clippy -p baml_compiler_parser -p baml_fmt --all-targets -- -D warnings

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The parser now treats //# comments as trivia outside permitted expression contexts and preserves them structurally inside executable blocks. Function-level headers are limited to expression functions. The formatter removes declaration-item header nodes and adds coverage for preservation and rejection cases.

Changes

Header comment handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Classify headers as declaration trivia
baml_language/crates/baml_compiler_parser/src/parser.rs, baml_language/crates/baml_lsp2_actions_tests/test_files/syntax/headers/*, baml_language/crates/baml_tests/baml_src/ns_header_comments/header_comments.baml
Header comments are consumed as LINE_COMMENT trivia outside allowed expression contexts. Disallowed locations produce diagnostics. Shared function-body lookahead limits permitted function-level headers to expression functions.
Preserve headers in executable blocks
baml_language/crates/baml_compiler_parser/src/parser.rs
Executable blocks, match arms, and catch arms preserve structural HEADER_COMMENT nodes. Pratt parsing and map-literal detection stop or disambiguate at raw structural headers. Regression tests cover these parsing paths.
Align formatter AST and coverage
baml_language/crates/baml_fmt/src/ast/declarations.rs, baml_language/crates/baml_fmt/src/lib.rs
Class and implements items no longer contain HeaderComment variants. Formatter tests cover preservation before expression functions and rejection in interfaces and non-expression functions.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to d87e6

This change broadens how //# comments are handled across syntax positions, but parser depth tracking may still misread shift operators in default expressions and incorrectly hide valid function bodies or classify declarations. Merge should wait for that bounded correctness risk to be fixed or explicitly accepted by the owner.

Poem

I hopped through blocks where headers glow,
And marked the paths that comments know.
In functions, only the right ones stay;
In class halls, trivia clears the way.
The formatter follows, neat and bright.

3514-3516: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Do not apply generic-depth tracking to default expressions.

Lines 3514-3516 treat every > and >> as generic closers. A valid declaration such as function f(x: int = 8 >> 1) -> int { 1 } sets angle_depth to -2. The body brace is then not found. This rejects a permitted function header and can classify an interface default method as a required signature.

Track generic depth only while scanning type syntax, or skip each default expression through its enclosing parameter delimiter. Add regressions for a header before this function shape and an interface default method with this default value.

Addressed the CodeRabbit angle-depth finding in a1e20c4. Function-body lookahead now tracks generic delimiters only outside parameter parentheses, so comparison and shift operators in default expressions cannot corrupt generic depth. The regression covers both a top-level expression function and an interface default method using x: int = 8 >> 1; the focused test, full 159-test parser suite, parser clippy, and formatting checks pass.
