plans: kernel-on-sx — log quoting.sx extraction + evaluator.sx decline
Some checks failed
Test, Build, and Deploy / test-build-deploy (push) Failing after 24s

Updates Phase 7 status:
- env.sx ✓ extracted (three live consumers: Kernel, Tcl, Smalltalk,
  with Scheme also using it directly)
- class-chain.sx ✓ extracted (bonus — not on the original six-file
  list but surfaced by the same chiselling discipline; Smalltalk +
  CLOS consumers)
- quoting.sx ✓ extracted (Kernel + Scheme consumers)
- evaluator.sx DECLINED — too thin to be its own kit; the shared
  content is protocol/API surface, not algorithm. Documented
  in-plan, no file created.
- combiner.sx, short-circuit.sx — still need fexpr-having
  second consumers
- hygiene.sx — still awaits Scheme Phase 6c (research-grade
  scope-set work)

Three kits live, one declined, three still gated.

- [x] Bridge to SX's hygienic macro story; extends proposed `lib/guest/reflective/` with `$let` and `$define-in!` hygiene primitives.
- [x] Tests: write an operative that introduces a binding and verify it doesn't shadow caller's same-named bindings.
### Phase 7 — Propose `lib/guest/reflective/` *[env.sx EXTRACTED 2026-05-12; other five still pending]*

- [x] Identified reusable env-reification + dispatch primitives across Phases 26. Consolidated API surface below as four candidate files: `env.sx`, `combiner.sx`, `evaluator.sx`, `hygiene.sx`.
- [x] Second consumer found for **`env.sx`**: Tcl's `uplevel`/`upvar` machinery (`lib/tcl/runtime.sx`). Same scope-chain semantics, divergent only in mutable-vs-functional update — bridged via adapter-cfg pattern from `lib/guest/match.sx`. Extraction landed on branch `lib/tcl/uplevel` (see `plans/lib-guest-reflective.md`).
- [ ] Second consumers still needed for `combiner.sx`, `evaluator.sx`, `hygiene.sx`, `quoting.sx`, `short-circuit.sx` — all five wait for a language with operative/applicative semantics (Scheme, CL fexpr extension, Maru).
- [x] Second consumer found for **`env.sx`**: Tcl's `uplevel`/`upvar` machinery (`lib/tcl/runtime.sx`). Bridged via adapter-cfg pattern. Extraction on branch `lib/tcl/uplevel`. Third consumer: Smalltalk frame, then Scheme. (Three live consumers.)
- [x] Bonus: **`class-chain.sx`** extracted from Smalltalk + CLOS method dispatch (not on the original six-file list, but the same chiselling discipline surfaced it). Branch `lib/guest/method-chain`.
- [x] Second consumer found for **`quoting.sx`**: Scheme's `scm-quasi-walk` (`lib/scheme/eval.sx`). Algorithm identical to Kernel's `knl-quasi-walk`; only the unquote keyword name and host evaluator differ. Bridged via adapter cfg with `:unquote-name`/`:unquote-splicing-name`/`:eval`. Extraction on branch `lib/guest/quoting`.
- [x] **`evaluator.sx` extraction declined.** The genuinely shared content between Kernel's `(get-current-environment, make-environment, eval)` triple and Scheme's `(interaction-environment, null-environment/scheme-report-environment, eval)` is *protocol/API surface*, not algorithm. Each consumer has language-specific binding semantics. The only common helper would be a closure-capturing `make-self-returning-env-fn` (~5 lines), too thin for its own kit. The protocol itself stays documented below but does not become a `lib/guest/reflective/evaluator.sx` file.
- [ ] Second consumers still needed for `combiner.sx`, `hygiene.sx`, `short-circuit.sx`. `combiner.sx` and `short-circuit.sx` require a fexpr-having language (Maru, Klisp, CL-fexpr extension) — Scheme is not a fit. `hygiene.sx` is the deferred research-grade scope-set work; Scheme's Phase 6c would be the second consumer when it lands.
**Phase 7 status (updated 2026-05-12):** `env.sx` has been extracted and is live at `lib/guest/reflective/env.sx` on branch `lib/tcl/uplevel`. Both consumers (Kernel and Tcl) pass their full test suites unchanged (Kernel 322/322, Tcl 427/427). The remaining five candidate files stay documented-only until their respective second consumers materialise. Candidate second consumers in priority order: Candidate second consumers in priority order:
