Phase 1 — Macros: defmacro + quasiquote syntax (`, ,, ,@) in parser,
evaluator, HTML renderer, and JS mirror. Macro type, expansion, and
round-trip serialization.
Phase 2 — Expanded primitives: app-url, url-for, asset-url, config,
format-date, parse-int (pure); service, request-arg, request-path,
nav-tree, get-children (I/O); jinja-global, relations-from (pure).
Updated _io_service to accept (service "registry-name" "method" :kwargs)
with auto kebab→snake conversion. DTO-to-dict now expands datetime fields
into year/month/day convenience keys. Tuple returns converted to lists.
Phase 3 — Declarative handlers: HandlerDef type, defhandler special form,
handler registry (service → name → HandlerDef), async evaluator+renderer
(async_eval.py) that awaits I/O primitives inline within control flow.
Handler loading from .sx files, execute_handler, blueprint factory.
Phase 4 — Convert all fragment routes: 13 Python fragment handlers across
8 services replaced with declarative .sx handler files. All routes.py
simplified to uniform sx dispatch pattern. Two Jinja HTML handlers
(events/container-cards, events/account-page) kept as Python.
New files: shared/sx/async_eval.py, shared/sx/handlers.py,
shared/sx/tests/test_handlers.py, plus 13 handler .sx files under
{service}/sx/handlers/. MarketService.product_by_slug() added.

Blog App (Coop)
Content management, Ghost CMS sync, navigation, and the prose editor for the Rose Ash cooperative platform. Runs database migrations on startup and serves as the primary content hub.

Cross-domain communication
All inter-app communication uses typed service contracts (no HTTP APIs):
services.calendar.*— calendar/entry queries via CalendarService protocolservices.market.*— marketplace queries via MarketService protocolservices.cart.*— cart summary via CartService protocolservices.federation.*— AP publishing via FederationService protocol
Fragments served
- nav-tree — site navigation tree, fetched by all other apps
Fragments consumed
- cart-mini (from cart) — cart icon + badge
- auth-menu (from account) — sign-in / user menu
- container-nav (from events, market) — sidebar widgets
- container-cards (from events) — event cards on listing pages
