+# Plan: CI Updates, Parser Binary Renaming, and Test Fixes
+
+## 1. CI Workflow Update
+- Update `.github/workflows/ci.yml` to include `pip install .[test]` step after system dependencies.
+
+## 2. Rename Generated Parser Binary
+- Rename the generated binary from `yaml_parser` to `_yaml_parser` to clearly indicate it is an internal/generated file.
+- Update `Makefile` to output `_yaml_parser`.
+- Update `.gitignore` to ignore `_yaml_parser`.
+- Update `lib/computer/parser_bridge.py` to look for `_yaml_parser`.
+
+## 3. Fix Test Failures
+- **`tests/test_compilation.py`**:
+    - `test_compilation.py` fails with `IndexError`. This is likely because the parser now returns a `Sequence` (list of boxes) for the root `stream`, but the test expects a single box or a specific structure.
+    - I need to inspect how `root = make_seq($1)` in `yaml.y` affects the output structure in `parser_bridge.py`.
+    - If `parser_bridge.py` wraps everything in a `Sequence`, `load()` might return a Diagram whose first box is that Sequence, or it might be trying to interpret it directly.
+    - Debug `load()` output for simple cases.
+
+- **`tests/test_anchors.py` & `test_logic.py`**:
+    - `ValueError: Unknown anchor: *v`.
+    - `Unknown node type - return identity on Node` handling in `parser_bridge.py` might be missing `ANCHOR` handling if my previous edit to `parser_bridge.py` was incomplete or incorrect. I added `TAG` support. I need to verify `ANCHOR` support in `parser_bridge.py`.
+    - Also, `tests/test_logic.py` failure `ValueError: Unknown anchor: *v` happens at runtime (or load time?). If it's `ValueError`, it might be raised by `construct.py` or `parser_bridge.py`.
+
+## 4. Parser Checks
+- Verify `yaml.y` constructs `NODE_ANCHOR` correctly (it seems to).
+- Verify `parser_bridge.py` handles `ANCHOR` and `ALIAS` correctly.
+
+## 5. Execution
+- Run `make rebuild-parser` after renaming.
+- Run tests (`make test`).

+# YAML Parser - Complete Implementation Report
+
+## Final Status
+
+**Test Results**: 140/351 tests passed (40%)  
+**Build**: Successful  
+**Status**: ✅ Functional for core JSON-like YAML and flow collections. ⚠️ Full 1.2 spec compliance regarding complex indentation rules is limited by LALR(1) conflicts.
+
+## Latest Improvements (Final Session)
+
+### ✅ Flow vs Block Scalar Distinctions
+- **Problem**: Keys like `[`, `{` were being consumed as plain scalars in block context, and indicators like `,` were rejected in block scalars.
+- **Solution**: Implemented `FLOW` start condition in lexer. Restricted `INITIAL` (block) plain scalars to not start with `[`, `]`, `{`, `}`.
+- **Impact**: Correctly parses `sequence: [ a, b ]` and `a,b` as scalar in block.
+- **Files**: `lib/yaml/yaml.l`
+
+### ✅ Block Scalar Separation
+- **Problem**: Block scalars were eating trailing newlines, causing subsequent keys to be parsed as new documents or creating syntax errors.
+- **Solution**: Enqueued virtual `NEWLINE` token after `LITERAL_CONTENT` to ensure separation between block scalar value and next key.
+- **Impact**: Fixes split-document parsing in cases like `M5C3`.
+
+### ✅ Directives Support
+- **Added**: Parsing for `%TAG` and `%YAML` directives.
+- **Files**: `lib/yaml/yaml.l`, `lib/yaml/yaml.y`
+
+### ✅ Tab Handling
+- **Added**: Tab expansion in indentation.
+- **Files**: `lib/yaml/yaml.l`
+
+### ✅ Anchor/Tag Grammar Enhancements
+- **Added**: `anchored_node` and `tagged_node` helper rules
+- **Purpose**: Better handling of anchors/tags with indentation
+- **Status**: Partial - basic cases work, complex indentation edge cases remain
+- **Files**: `lib/yaml/yaml.y` lines 277-299
