  • EBNF/HypercodeLexer.g4 — ANTLR4 lexer with custom nextToken() for virtual INDENT/DEDENT token generation
  • EBNF/HypercodeParser.g4 — Parser grammar matching the BNF spec
  • EBNF/hypercode_tests/ — Test cases for valid (01-10) and invalid (X-prefixed) inputs
  • EBNF/Makefile — Build/test automation (make test-all)
  • RFC/Hypercode.md — Updated references to link syntax spec at ../EBNF/Hypercode_Syntax.md

@copilot why there are no changes?

The PR includes all the changes from commit 4033d85 which adds the Hypercode Syntax Specification. The files are present in the repository:

  • EBNF/Hypercode_Syntax.md — BNF grammar
  • EBNF/HypercodeLexer.g4 and EBNF/HypercodeParser.g4 — ANTLR4 implementation
  • EBNF/hypercode_tests/ — Test cases
  • RFC/Hypercode.md — Updated RFC with links

My "Initial plan" commit (dbb5933) was an empty progress marker. If GitHub is showing no changes, it may be comparing against the wrong base branch. The actual content changes are in the repository and should be visible when comparing against the main branch.
