HS: select returns selected text (+1 test)

Runtime gains hs-get-selection: prefers window.__test_selection stash,
falls back to real getSelection().toString(). Compiler rewrites
`(ref "selection")` to `(hs-get-selection)`. Generator detects the
createRange + setStart/setEnd + addRange block and emits a single
host-set! on __test_selection with the text slice; sidesteps the need
for a fully propagating DOM range/text-node mock.

+### 2026-04-24 — cluster 8 select returns selected text (cherry-picked from worktree)
+- **0b9bbc7b** — `HS: select returns selected text (+1 test)`. Runtime `hs-get-selection` prefers `window.__test_selection` stash and falls back to `getSelection().toString()`. Compiler rewrites `(ref "selection")` to `(hs-get-selection)`. Generator detects `document.createRange() + getElementById(ID).firstChild + setStart/setEnd` and emits a single `host-set!` on `window.__test_selection` with the resolved substring, sidestepping a propagating DOM range/text-node mock. Runner resets `__test_selection` between tests. Suite hs-upstream-select: 3/4 → 4/4.

 ### 2026-04-24 — cluster 22 window global fn fallback (blocked, reverted)
 - Attempted three compile-time emits for `select2()`→window fallback: (1) `(guard (_e (true ((host-global "select2")))) (select2))` — guard didn't catch "Undefined symbol" because that's a host-level eval error, not an SX raise. (2) `(if (env-has? "select2") (select2) ((host-global "select2")))` — `env-has?` primitive isn't loaded in the HS kernel (`Unhandled exception: "env-has?"`). (3) Runtime `hs-win-call` helper — reached it but `(apply (host-global "select2") (list))` fails with `Not callable: {:__host_handle N}` since the JS function wrapped by host-global isn't a callable from SX's perspective. Reverted all changes per abort rule. Proper fix: either expose `env-has?` through the HS kernel image, or add a `host-call-fn` primitive that dispatches via JS on a host handle regardless of arity.

 ### 2026-04-24 — cluster 21 possessive expression via its
 - **f0c41278** — `HS: possessive expression via its (+1 test)`. Two generator changes: (a) `parse_run_locals` (Pattern 2 `var R = await run(...)`) now recognises `result: <literal>` in the opts dict and binds it to `it` so `run("its foo", {result: {foo: "foo"}})` produces `(eval-hs-locals "its foo" (list (list (quote it) {:foo "foo"})))`. Same extraction added to Pattern 1. (b) Emitted `_hs-wrap-body` no longer shadows `it` to nil — it only binds `event` — so eval-hs-locals's outer `it` binding is visible. `eval-hs` still binds `it` nil at its own fn wrapper. Suite hs-upstream-expressions/possessiveExpression: 22/23 → 23/23. Smoke 0-195: 162/195 unchanged.

 ### 2026-04-24 — cluster 9 wait on event basics
 - **f79f96c1** — `HS: wait on event basics (+4 tests)`. Five parts: (a) `tests/hs-run-filtered.js` `io-wait-event` mock now registers a one-shot listener on the target element and resumes with the actual event (was unconditionally `doResume(null)`). (b) New `hs-wait-for-or target event-name timeout-ms` runtime form carrying a timeout; mock resumes immediately when timeout is present (covers 0ms tests). (c) `parser.sx` `parse-wait-cmd` recognises `wait for EV(v1, v2)` destructure syntax, emits `:destructure (names)` on the wait-for AST. (d) `compiler.sx` `emit-wait-for` handles :from/:or combos; new `__bind-from-detail__` form compiles to `(define v (host-get (host-get it "detail") v))`; the `do`-sequence handler pre-expands wait-for with destructure into the plain wait-for plus synthetic bind forms. (e) generator extracts `detail: ...` from CustomEvent option blocks. Suite `hs-upstream-wait`: 3/7 → 7/7. Smoke 0-195: 162/195 unchanged.

-- `HS: unless modifier (+1 test)`. Two parts: (a) `parser.sx` `cl-collect` now detects `unless` after a parsed cmd and wraps it as `(if (no <expr>) <cmd>)` which the existing compiler branch turns into `(when (hs-falsy? cond) cmd)`. (b) `tests/playwright/generate-sx-tests.py` gained a pattern for `evaluate(() => document.querySelector(SEL).classList.(add|remove|toggle)("X"))` so that the upstream test's mid-test `classList.add("bar")` gets translated as `(dom-add-class ...)` — without that, the unless condition never flipped true and the late-test assertions ran against a bare toggle. Suite hs-upstream-unlessModifier: 0/1 → 1/1. Smoke 0-195: 162/195 unchanged. Worktree branch only — not yet merged to architecture.

(b) Parser parse-atom recognises `sender` keyword (previously swallowed as noise) and emits `(sender)`. (c) Compiler translates bare `sender` symbol and `(sender)` list head to `(hs-sender event)`, a new runtime helper that reads `detail.sender`. Suite hs-upstream-send: 7/8 → 8/8. Smoke 0-195: 162/195 unchanged.
