Values
| Value | Purpose |
|---|---|
csnkRoot | Synthetic tree root that parents every top-level operation |
csnkOperation | One operator together with the operands that precede it |
csnkOperand | A single operand under an operation, array, or dictionary |
csnkArray | Grouping node for a bracketed operand array, closed by the matching array-end lexeme |
csnkDictionary | Grouping node for an inline dictionary operand, closed by the matching dictionary-end lexeme |
csnkProcedure | Grouping node for the legacy procedure-set braces, nesting the operations inside |
csnkInlineImage | Inline image block spanning its BI dictionary, image data, and EI terminator |
csnkMalformed | Byte range that broke the grammar, kept in the tree so token-preserving edits never lose source bytes |
Usage notes
- The visitor walker only offers
csnkOperationandcsnkInlineImagenodes as operators; the grouping kinds shape the tree around them csnkMalformednodes carry a diagnostic message and stay editable as opaque spans rather than aborting the parse- Pair the kind with the node's lexeme span to locate the exact source bytes of any subtree
