# Review report for pipeline/02-parse-ast.md

## Summary

The parse/AST page satisfies its prompt contract and matched the sampled parser and AST sources. I did not find factual, link, completeness, or front-matter issues that require remediation.

## Items checked

- Ran `regenerate.py show pipeline/02-parse-ast.md` and read the target page, `_common.md`, `pipeline-02-parse-ast.md`, and dependency `pipeline/01-lex-preprocess.md`.
- Verified front matter keys, recorded source commit, and 64-character hex watched-path digest.
- Spot-checked 14 parser/AST claims against `source/slang/slang-parser.h`, `source/slang/slang-parser.cpp`, and related AST headers, including `parseSourceFile`, `parseUnparsedStmt`, `ParsingStage::Decl`/`Body`, `SyntaxParseInfo`, `g_parseSyntaxEntries`, `parseAssocType`, `parseInterfaceConstraintDecl`, and `populateBaseLanguageModule`.
- Checked the required sections from `pipeline-02-parse-ast.md`: inputs/outputs, parser, AST data model, generics ambiguity, modifier parsing, and failure modes.
- Resolved relative links with `regenerate.py lint` for this assigned doc group; lint reported no issues.

## Findings

(no findings)

## No-issues notes

- The two-stage parsing description matches `parseSourceFile` using `ParsingStage::Decl` and `parseUnparsedStmt` using `ParsingStage::Body`.
- The associated-type constraint relocation text matches the implementation comments and calls in `parseAssocType`.
- The syntax-as-declaration summary is supported by the `SyntaxParseInfo` table and `populateBaseLanguageModule` registration loop.
