Major architectural change: page function dispatch and handler execution
now go through the OCaml kernel instead of the Python bootstrapped evaluator.
OCaml integration:
- Page dispatch: bridge.eval() evaluates SX URL expressions (geography, marshes, etc.)
- Handler aser: bridge.aser() serializes handler responses as SX wire format
- _ensure_components loads all .sx files into OCaml kernel (spec, web adapter, handlers)
- defhandler/defpage registered as no-op special forms so handler files load
- helper IO primitive dispatches to Python page helpers + IO handlers
- ok-raw response format for SX wire format (no double-escaping)
- Natural list serialization in eval (no (list ...) wrapper)
- Clean pipe: _read_until_ok always sends io-response on error
SX adapter (aser):
- scope-emit!/scope-peek aliases to avoid CEK special form conflict
- aser-fragment/aser-call: strings starting with "(" pass through unserialized
- Registered cond-scheme?, is-else-clause?, primitive?, get-primitive in kernel
- random-int, parse-int as kernel primitives; json-encode, into via IO bridge
Handler migration:
- All IO calls converted to (helper "name" args...) pattern
- request-arg, request-form, state-get, state-set!, now, component-source etc.
- Fixed bare (effect ...) in island bodies leaking disposer functions as text
- Fixed lower-case → lower, ~search-results → ~examples/search-results
Reactive islands:
- sx-hydrate-islands called after client-side navigation swap
- force-dispose-islands-in for outerHTML swaps (clears hydration markers)
- clear-processed! platform primitive for re-hydration
Content restructuring:
- Design, event bridge, named stores, phase 2 consolidated into reactive overview
- Marshes split into overview + 5 example sub-pages
- Nav links use sx-get/sx-target for client-side navigation
Playwright test suite (sx/tests/test_demos.py):
- 83 tests covering hypermedia demos, reactive islands, marshes, spec explorer
- Server-side rendering, handler interactions, island hydration, navigation

Component names now reflect filesystem location using / as path separator
and : as namespace separator for shared components:
~sx-header → ~layouts/header
~layout-app-body → ~shared:layout/app-body
~blog-admin-dashboard → ~admin/dashboard
209 files, 4,941 replacements across all services.

Every URL at sx-web.org now uses bracketed SX expressions — pages AND
API endpoints. defhandler :path values, sx-get/sx-post/sx-delete attrs,
code examples, and Python route decorators all converted.
- Add SxAtomConverter to handlers.py for parameter matching inside
expression URLs (e.g. /(api.(item.<sx:item_id>)))
- Convert ~50 defhandler :path values in ref-api.sx and examples.sx
- Convert ~90 sx-get/sx-post/sx-delete URLs in reference.sx, examples.sx
- Convert ~30 code example URLs in examples-content.sx
- Convert ~30 API URLs in pages.py (Python string code examples)
- Convert ~70 page navigation URLs in pages.py
- Convert 7 Python route decorators in routes.py
- Convert ~10 reactive API URLs in marshes.sx
- Add API redirect patterns to sx_router.py (301 for old paths)
- Remove /api/ skip in app.py redirects (old API paths now redirect)

New hierarchy: Geography (Reactive Islands, Hypermedia Lakes, Marshes,
Isomorphism), Language (Docs, Specs, Bootstrappers, Testing),
Applications (CSSX, Protocols), Etc (Essays, Philosophy, Plans).
All routes updated to match: /reactive/* → /geography/reactive/*,
/docs/* → /language/docs/*, /essays/* → /etc/essays/*, etc.
Updates nav-data.sx, all defpage routes, API endpoints, internal links
across 43 files. Enhanced find-nav-match for nested group resolution.
Also includes: page-helpers-demo sf-total fix (reduce instead of set!),
rebootstrapped sx-browser.js and sx_ref.py, defensive slice/rest guards.

- Rename /reactive-islands/ → /reactive/, /reference/ → /hypermedia/reference/,
/examples/ → /hypermedia/examples/ across all .sx and .py files
- Add 404 error page (not-found.sx) working on both server refresh and
client-side SX navigation via orchestration.sx error response handling
- Add trailing slash redirect (GET only, excludes /api/, /static/, /internal/)
- Remove blue sky-500 header bar from SX docs layout (conditional on header-rows)
- Fix 405 on API endpoints from trailing slash redirect hitting POST/PUT/DELETE
- Fix client-side 404: orchestration.sx now swaps error response content
instead of silently dropping it
- Add new plan files and home page component

New top-level Philosophy section in sx-docs. Moved SX Manifesto and Strange
Loops from Essays, added three new essays: SX and Wittgenstein (language games,
limits of language, fly-bottles), SX and Dennett (real patterns, multiple drafts,
intentional stance), and S-Existentialism (existence precedes essence, bad faith,
the absurd). Updated all cross-references and navigation.

highlight_sx/python/bash produced SX string literals with literal newline
and tab characters, breaking the wire format parser. Add centralized
_escape() helper that properly escapes \n, \t, \r (plus existing \\ and
" escaping). Code blocks now render with correct indentation and syntax
highlighting in both server and client renders.

(index-of s needle from?) returns first index of needle in s, or -1.
Optional start offset. Specced in primitives.sx, implemented in both
hand-written primitives.py and bootstrapper templates, rebootstrapped.

Add boundary.sx declaring all 34 I/O primitives, 32 page helpers, and 9
allowed boundary types. Runtime validation in boundary.py checks every
registration against the spec — undeclared primitives/helpers crash at
startup with SX_BOUNDARY_STRICT=1 (now set in both dev and prod).
Key changes:
- Move 5 I/O-in-disguise primitives (app-url, asset-url, config,
jinja-global, relations-from) from primitives.py to primitives_io.py
- Remove duplicate url-for/route-prefix from primitives.py (already in IO)
- Fix parse-datetime to return ISO string instead of raw datetime
- Add datetime→isoformat conversion in _convert_result at the edge
- Wrap page helper return values with boundary type validation
- Replace all SxExpr(f"...") patterns with sx_call() or _sx_fragment()
- Add assert declaration to primitives.sx

- Fix highlight() returning SxExpr so syntax-highlighted code renders
as DOM elements instead of leaking SX source text into the page
- Add Specs section that reads and displays canonical SX spec files
from shared/sx/ref/ with syntax highlighting
- Add "The Reflexive Web" essay on SX becoming a complete LISP with
AI as native participant
- Change logo from (<x>) to (<sx>) everywhere
- Unify all backgrounds to bg-stone-100, center code blocks
- Skip component/style cookie cache in dev mode so .sx edits are
visible immediately on refresh without clearing localStorage

Implement missing SxEngine features:
- SSE (sx-sse, sx-sse-swap) with EventSource management and auto-cleanup
- Response headers: SX-Trigger, SX-Retarget, SX-Reswap, SX-Redirect,
SX-Refresh, SX-Location, SX-Replace-Url, SX-Trigger-After-Swap/Settle
- View Transitions API: transition:true swap modifier + global config
- every:<time> trigger for polling (setInterval)
- sx-replace-url (replaceState instead of pushState)
- sx-disabled-elt (disable elements during request)
- sx-prompt (window.prompt, value sent as SX-Prompt header)
- sx-params (filter form parameters: *, none, not x,y, x,y)
Adds docs (ATTR_DETAILS, BEHAVIOR_ATTRS, headers, events), demo
components in reference.sx, API endpoints (prompt-echo, sse-time),
and 27 new unit tests for engine logic.

These are sx implementations of htmx attributes (boost, preload,
preserve, indicator, validate, ignore, optimistic), not unique to sx.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Add sx-preserve/sx-ignore (morph skip), sx-indicator (loading element),
sx-validate (form validation), sx-boost (progressive enhancement),
sx-preload (hover prefetch with 30s cache), and sx-optimistic (instant
UI preview with rollback). Move all from HTMX_MISSING_ATTRS to
SX_UNIQUE_ATTRS with full ATTR_DETAILS docs and reference.sx demos.

Covers server-side (suspendable rendering, streaming, error boundaries),
client-side (linear async flows, wizard forms, cooperative scheduling,
undo), and implementation path from the existing TCO trampoline. Updates
TCO essay's continuations section to link to the new essay instead of
dismissing the idea. Fixes "What sx is not" to acknowledge macros + TCO.

A satirical essay in the style of The Communist Manifesto, recasting
the historic struggle between bourgeoisie and proletariat as the war
between HTML, JS, and CSS — with frameworks as petty-bourgeois lackeys
and s-expressions as the revolutionary force that abolishes the
language distinction itself.

Per-attribute documentation pages at /reference/attributes/<slug> with:
- Live interactive demos (demo components in reference.sx)
- S-expression source code display
- Server handler code shown as s-expressions (defhandlers in handlers/reference.sx)
- Wire response display via OOB swaps on demo interaction
- Linked attribute names in the reference table
Covers all 20 implemented attributes (sx-get/post/put/delete/patch,
sx-trigger/target/swap/swap-oob/select/confirm/push-url/sync/encoding/
headers/include/vals/media/disable/on:*, sx-retry, data-sx, data-sx-env).
Also adds sx-on:* to BEHAVIOR_ATTRS, updates REFERENCE_NAV to link
/reference/attributes, and makes /reference/ an index page.

- Pass :code keyword to ~doc-code and ~example-source components
(highlighted content was positional but components use &key code)
- Rebuild tw.css (v3.4.19) with sx/sxc and sx/content in content paths
so highlight.py classes (text-violet-600, text-rose-600, etc.) are included
- Add bg-violet-{100-500} classes for the sx app's violet menu bar
- Add highlight.py custom syntax highlighter (sx, python, bash)
IMPORTANT: tw.css must contain bg-violet-{100-500} rules for the sx
app's menu bar. Do not rebuild tw.css without ensuring violet classes
are included (via safelist or content paths).

New public-facing service documenting the s-expression rendering engine.
Modelled on four.htmx.org with violet theme, all content rendered via sx.
Sections: docs, reference, protocols, examples (live demos), essays
(including "sx sucks"). No database — purely static documentation.
Port 8012, Redis DB 10. CI and deploy.sh updated with app_dir() mapping
for sx_docs -> sx/ directory. Caddy reverse proxy entry added separately.
