+  # The three that need MORE THAN THE CURSOR, which is the real boundary this
+  # migration now sits at: none of them can stay a unary accessor.
+  #
+  # `sym`  — a `Symbol` token holds only a NAME. `ast2nif.loadSymStub` turns one
+  #          into a `PSym` from a `DecodeContext` plus the OWNING MODULE's name
+  #          plus that routine body's `localSyms` table, because a name with no
+  #          module suffix is body-local and is not in any index.
+  # `typ`  — same shape: `ast2nif.createTypeStub(c, symName(n))`, so also a
+  #          `DecodeContext`.
+  # `info` — `rawLineInfo(n)` gives a `NifLineInfo` whose `FileId` belongs to the
+  #          `.bif`'s own pool; `ast2nif.oldLineInfo` maps it to a `TLineInfo`
+  #          through a `LineInfoWriter`, which needs the `ConfigRef`.
+  #
+  # So the next step is not "implement these three" but deciding where codegen
+  # gets that context from — a parameter, or module-global state for the span of
+  # one module's `cg` stage, the way `ast2nif` already keeps its writer state.
+  # Until then the `{.error.}` stubs report the exact missing piece AT ITS CALL
+  # SITE rather than collapsing into a cascade of unrelated type errors.
