during page slot evaluation (fixes highlight on examples, avoids
breaking fragment responses)
- Fix nth arg order (nth coll n) in docs.sx, examples.sx (delete-row,

_aser previously serialized all ~component calls for client rendering.
Components whose bodies call Python-only functions (e.g. highlight) would
fail on the client with "Undefined symbol". Now _aser expands components
that are defined in the env via _aser_component, producing SX wire format
with tag-level bodies inlined. Unknown components still serialize as-is.

bootstrap_js.py reads the reference .sx specification (eval.sx, render.sx)
and transpiles the defined evaluator functions into standalone JavaScript.
The output sx-ref.js is a fully functional SX evaluator bootstrapped from
the s-expression spec, comparable against the hand-written sx.js.
Key features:
- JSEmitter class transpiles SX AST → JS (fn→function, let→IIFE, cond→ternary, etc.)
- Platform interface (types, env ops, primitives) implemented as native JS
- Post-transpilation fixup wraps callLambda to handle both Lambda objects and primitives
- 93/93 tests passing: arithmetic, strings, control flow, closures, HO forms,
components, macros, threading, dict ops, predicates
Fixed during development:
- Bool before int isinstance check (Python bool is subclass of int)
- SX NIL sentinel detection (not Python None)
- Cond style detection (determine Scheme vs Clojure once, not per-pair)
- Predicate null safety (x != null instead of x && to avoid 0-as-falsy in SX)

Dict values (e.g. {:X-CSRFToken csrf}) passed as component kwargs were
not being evaluated through sxEval — symbols stayed unresolved in the DOM.
Also add Cache-Control: no-cache headers for /static/ in dev mode so
browser always fetches fresh JS/CSS without needing hard refresh.

Meta-circular evaluator: the SX language specifying its own semantics.
A thin bootstrap compiler per target (JS, Python, Rust) reads these
.sx files and emits a native evaluator.
Files:
- eval.sx: Core evaluator — type dispatch, special forms, TCO trampoline,
lambda/component/macro invocation, higher-order forms
- primitives.sx: Declarative specification of ~80 built-in pure functions
- render.sx: Three rendering modes (DOM, HTML string, SX wire format)
- parser.sx: Tokenizer, parser, and serializer specification
Platform-specific concerns (DOM ops, async I/O, HTML emission) are
declared as interfaces that each target implements.

sx-headers attributes now use native SX dict format {:key val} instead of
JSON strings. Eliminates manual JSON string construction in both .sx files
and Python callers.
- sx.js: parse sx-headers/sx-vals as SX dict ({: prefix) with JSON fallback,
add _serializeDict for dict→attribute serialization, fix verbInfo scope in
_doFetch error handler
- html.py: serialize dict attribute values via SX serialize() not str()
- All .sx files: {:X-CSRFToken csrf} replaces (str "{\"X-CSRFToken\": ...}")
- All Python callers: {"X-CSRFToken": csrf} dict replaces f-string JSON
- Blog like: extract ~blog-like-toggle, fix POST returning wrong component,
fix emoji escapes in .sx (parser has no \U support), fix card :hx-headers
keyword mismatch, wrap sx_content in SxExpr for evaluation

When defpage content expressions use case/if branches that resolve to
component calls (e.g. `(case slug "intro" (~docs-intro-content) ...)`),
_aser serializes them for the client. Components containing Python-only
helpers like `highlight` then fail with "Undefined symbol" on the client.
Add _maybe_expand_component_result() which detects when the evaluated
result (SxExpr or string) is a component call starting with "(~" and
re-parses + expands it through async_eval_slot_to_sx server-side.

Page helpers returning SX component call strings (e.g. "(~docs-intro-content)")
were sent to the client unexpanded. Components containing Python-only helpers
like `highlight` then failed with "Undefined symbol" on the client. Now
async_eval_slot_to_sx re-parses and expands these strings server-side.

Three issues fixed:
- async_eval_slot_to_sx (and async_eval_to_sx) was calling serialize()
on plain strings returned by page helpers, quoting them as literals
instead of treating them as sx source. Added str check to wrap
directly in SxExpr.
- _render_to_sx_with_env passed layout kwargs only as env free
variables, but _aser_component defaults all declared params to NIL
regardless of env. Now builds the AST with extra_env entries as
keyword args so they bind through normal param mechanism.
- _nav_items_sx returned plain str; changed to SxExpr so nav fragments
serialize unquoted when passed as layout kwargs.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
SxExpr is now a str subclass so it works everywhere a plain string
does (join, isinstance, f-strings) while serialize() still emits it
unquoted. sx_call() and all internal render functions (_render_to_sx,
async_eval_to_sx, etc.) return SxExpr, eliminating the "forgot to
wrap" bug class that caused the sx_content leak and list serialization
bugs.
- Phase 0: SxExpr(str) with .source property, __add__/__radd__
- Phase 1: sx_call returns SxExpr (drop-in, all 200+ sites unchanged)
- Phase 2: async_eval_to_sx, async_eval_slot_to_sx, _render_to_sx,
mobile_menu_sx return SxExpr; remove isinstance(str) workaround
- Phase 3: Remove ~150 redundant SxExpr() wrappings across 45 files
- Phase 4: serialize() docstring, handler return docs, ;; returns: sx

Data lists (dicts, strings, numbers) were wrapped in (<> ...) fragments
which the client rendered as empty DocumentFragments instead of iterable
arrays. This broke map/filter over cards, tag_groups, and authors in
blog index and similar components.
- _aser_call: data lists → (list ...), rendered content (SxExpr) → (<> ...)
- sx_call: all list kwargs → (list ...)

The ~component check in _aser immediately serialized all names starting
with ~ as unexpanded component calls. This meant defmacro definitions
like ~root-header-auto were sent to the client unexpanded, causing
"Undefined symbol: root-header-ctx" errors since IO primitives only
exist server-side. Now checks env for Macro instances first.

Layout components now self-resolve context (cart-mini, auth-menu, nav-tree,
rights, URLs) via new IO primitives (root-header-ctx, select-colours,
account-nav-ctx, app-rights) and defmacro wrappers (~root-header-auto,
~auth-header-row-auto, ~root-mobile-auto). This eliminates _ctx_to_env(),
HELPER_CSS_CLASSES, and verbose :key threading across all 10 services.

Plain Python lists (e.g. from map) were serialized as ((item1) (item2))
which re-parses as a function application, causing "Not callable: _RawHTML"

When an HTML tag like (div) appears as a kwarg value in SX wire format,
callComponent evaluates it with sxEval (data mode) which doesn't handle
HTML tags. Now sxEval delegates to renderDOM for any render expression
(HTML tags, SVG tags, fragments, raw!, components).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
_aser_component expands component bodies in SX wire format mode,
but was evaluating kwarg values with async_eval (HTML mode). This
caused SxExpr kwargs to be fully rendered to HTML strings, which
then broke when serialized back to SX — producing bare symbols
like 'div' that the client couldn't resolve.
Fix: use _aser() for kwarg evaluation to keep values in SX format.

Nested component calls in _aser are serialized without body expansion,
so free variables inside ~root-header would be sent unresolved to the
client. Fix by making ~root-header/~root-mobile take all values as
&key params, and having parent layout defcomps pass them explicitly.
The parent layout bodies ARE expanded (via async_eval_slot_to_sx),
so their free variables resolve correctly during that expansion.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
async_eval_to_sx serializes component calls without expanding their bodies,
so free variables from _ctx_to_env were passed through as unresolved symbols
to the client. Switch to async_eval_slot_to_sx which expands the top-level
component body server-side, resolving free variables during expansion.
Also inline ~root-header/~root-mobile into layout defcomps rather than using
wrapper defcomps (nested ~component calls in _aser are serialized without
expansion, so wrapper defcomps would still leave free vars unresolved).

Phase 0: Add _ctx_to_env() and render_to_sx_with_env() to shared/sx/helpers.py,
register_sx_layout() to shared/sx/layouts.py, and ~root-header/~root-mobile
wrapper defcomps to layout.sx. Convert built-in "root" layout to .sx.
Phases 1-3: Convert account (65→19 lines), federation (105→97 lines),
and orders (88→21 lines) to use register_sx_layout with .sx defcomps
that read ctx values as free variables from the evaluation environment.
No more Python building SX strings via SxExpr(await root_header_sx(ctx)).
