+;; content-on-sx — nested-tree CvRDT.
+;;
+;; Extends the flat CvRDT (crdt.sx) to a TREE: each element carries a `parent`
+;; (the id of its containing section, "" = root) alongside its Logoot position.
+;; Merge is still a join — it reuses crdt.sx's position/register/field merges and
+;; adds parent (immutable, set once at insert). Materialisation rebuilds the
+;; ordered tree: root = elements with parent "", a section's children = elements
+;; whose parent is that section's id, each sorted by position. Commutative,
+;; associative, idempotent like the flat layer; concurrent inserts into the same
+;; or different parents converge deterministically.
+;;
+;; Requires (loaded by harness): crdt.sx (merge helpers + live/sort/materialise
+;; bits), block.sx, doc.sx, section.sx (mk-section).

 ## Progress log
 
+- 2026-06-07 — Extension: nested-tree CvRDT (`crdt-tree.sx`). Extends the flat
+  CvRDT to a TREE: each element carries a `parent` (containing section id, "" =
+  root) beside its Logoot pos; merge reuses crdt.sx's pos/register/field joins +
+  parent (immutable). Materialisation rebuilds the ordered tree (root + per-section
+  children sorted by pos, recursive). Sections now merge collaboratively; proven
+  commutative/associative/idempotent — same- and different-parent concurrent
+  inserts converge, nested sections, LWW, two-replica convergence. Reuses crdt.sx
+  + section.sx; flat crdt untouched (34/34). 17 tests; suite 727/727. This was
+  the flagged "research-grade" gap — done as a clean self-contained layer.
 - 2026-06-07 — Extension: multi-document index (`index.sx`). `content/index`
   projects a doc list into summary cards (blog index); `content/index-by-tag`
   filters by tag (category pages); `content/all-tags` is a deduped tag cloud;
