91In milestone 1 the parser met about thirty places where the doc could be read more than one way. Twelve went to @iko on 2026-10-30 and are rows of the Decisions tab. These were not asked. For each, the parser follows the reading below, and some are marked "(doc question)" in the library's notes. None changes what a valid program means, except where a reading makes something an error.
