The focus seems to have changed over time to directly using what was initially the intermediate object model the builder generated when parsing the spec.

No. Morphs are created by Adapters, Spec interpreter instantiates glues everything together.
Regardless, there's no parsing involved�� what is there to parse? There are no literal arrays anywhere.
The SpecLayout (that we called array last week), is not an array, it's a composition of real objects

defaultSpec
^ SpecLayout composed
newRow: [ :row | row newColumn: [ :col | col add: #topToolbar height: self toolbarHeight ] ]
height: self toolbarHeight;
newRow: [ :row |
row
newColumn: [ :col | col add: #navigatorModel ] origin: 0 @ 0 corner: 0.2 @ 1;
addSplitter;
newColumn: [ :col | col add: #tabManager ] origin: 0.2 @ 0 corner: 0.85 @ 1;
addSplitter;
newColumn: [ :col | col add: #formModel ] origin: 0.85 @ 0 corner: 1 @ 1 ]
top: self toolbarHeight;
yourself

Maybe array approach deprecated? But in first demos of Spec it was like this:

CheckBoxExample class>>defaultSpec

^ { #ContainerModel.
#add:. { self topSpec. #layout:. #(#SpecLayoutFrame
bottomFraction: 0
bottomOffset: 20) }.
#add:. {{#model . #container } . #layout: . #(#SpecLayoutFrame topOffset: 22) }
}

(Actually it is from Pharo 5 image).
