📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughAdds a ChangesHelix grammar bundle
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The new grammar package may fail to build or produce unusable grammar artifacts because extracted source directories are not normalized as the build script expects; this should be corrected before merge. The shell portability issue is a smaller follow-up concern. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

- Around line 36-292: Add the exact archive top-level directory as strip_prefix
to every Source entry in the grammar dependency list that uses extract = true,
preserving each URL and sha256. Update the source-resolution logic in build.sh
to consume the stripped source layout rather than relying on archive-generated
directory names.

Add strip_prefix to every extracted source.
Each Source entry sets extract = true but omits strip_prefix. Update every archive entry with its exact top-level directory. Update packages/helix-grammars/build.sh source resolution with the same contract, because Lines 15-29 currently depend on unstripped archive directory names.
As per coding guidelines, “Source dependencies must include a URL and SHA256; use extraction only for supported archive formats and provide strip_prefix when extracting.”

In `@packages/helix-grammars/build.ncl` around lines 36 - 292, Add the exact
archive top-level directory as strip_prefix to every Source entry in the grammar
dependency list that uses extract = true, preserving each URL and sha256. Update
the source-resolution logic in build.sh to consume the stripped source layout
rather than relying on archive-generated directory names.

Summary
helixships every language's queries but zero grammars — its build setsHELIX_DISABLE_AUTO_GRAMMAR_BUILD=1becausehx --grammar buildgit-clones ~250 repos, which is problematic for provenance.So every buffer in
