+draft: false
+description: Maintain Nim core libraries, improve documentation, and integrate nimlangserver fixes with a consistent LSP protocol model.
+---
+
+`ift-ts:nim:ift:2026q4-nim-core-libs`
+
+## Description
+
+Maintain and document the foundational Nim libraries used by IFT teams.
+Improve nimlangserver by reviewing and integrating applicable fixes from the recent fork and following the separation of protocol handling, JSON serialization, and protocol data models used by nim-web3.
+
+## Task List
+
+### Documentation Improvement
+
+* fully qualified name: `ift-ts:nim:ift:2026q4-nim-core-libs:docs-improvement`
+* owner: Constantine
+* status: not started
+* start-date: 2026/10/01
+* end-date: 2026/12/31
+
+#### Description
+
+Continue improving documentation for Nim core libraries, including missing API guidance, runnable examples, and integration notes needed by downstream teams.
+Improve documentation tooling where it helps keep package documentation accurate and maintainable.
+
+#### Deliverables
+
+- Documentation PRs covering identified gaps and downstream usage examples.
+- Documentation tooling improvements and validation of the updated examples or builds.
+
+### Maintenance
+
+* fully qualified name: `ift-ts:nim:ift:2026q4-nim-core-libs:maintenance`
+* owner: Constantine
+* status: not started
+* start-date: 2026/10/01
+* end-date: 2026/12/31
+
+#### Description
+
+Provide ongoing maintenance and fixes across Nim core libraries.
+Triage issues, address regressions and compatibility problems, support downstream consumers, and maintain tests and CI as dependencies and toolchains evolve.
+
+#### Deliverables
+
+- PRs fixing library defects and maintaining compatibility, tests, and CI.
+- Tracked issues and verification results for downstream integration problems.
+
+### Nimlangserver improvements
+
+* fully qualified name: `ift-ts:nim:ift:2026q4-nim-core-libs:nimlangserver`
+* owner: TBD
+* status: not started
+* start-date: 2026/10/01
+* end-date: 2026/12/31
+
+#### Description
+
+Review the recent nimlangserver fork and cherry-pick applicable improvements and fixes into the team's maintained branch, adapting changes where needed.
+Identify the fork URL, source commits, and target branch before selecting changes; these references remain to be specified.
+
+Use the nim-web3 approach as the model for the LSP implementation:
+- Keep JSON-RPC protocol handling in `nim-json-rpc`.
+- Define an LSP-specific `nim-json-ser` flavor for interpreting and emitting protocol JSON, including null values, number formatting, and missing or extra fields.
+- Represent the protocol data model with Nim objects that map directly to the [LSP 3.18 specification](https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/specifications/lsp/3.18/specification/), starting with the messages and structures used by nimlangserver today.
+- Make additional protocol objects straightforward to add using the same model. Generating objects from the specification is optional; the task does not require implementing every LSP feature.
+- Add regression tests for imported fixes and serialization tests for the supported protocol objects and edge cases.
+
+#### Deliverables
+
+- A fork review identifying source commits, target branch, selected fixes, and deferred changes.
+- PRs integrating applicable fork fixes and improvements into the maintained branch.
+- An LSP JSON serialization flavor and Nim protocol objects for the currently used messages and structures.
+- Regression and serialization tests, plus guidance for adding further protocol objects.
