Research direction
Start by reading docs/HowItWorks.md#notes and inspect the parser's current Token representation. Trace where Token objects are created and consumed, then identify the scope of the proposed replacement. Done means the token representation has been migrated while preserving parser behavior and reducing memory usage.
