Bootstrap shift/reset to both Python and JS targets. The implementation
uses exception-based capture with re-evaluation: reset wraps in try/catch
for ShiftSignal, shift raises to the nearest reset, and continuation
invocation pushes a resume value and re-evaluates the body.
- Add Continuation type and _ShiftSignal to shared/sx/types.py
- Add sf_reset/sf_shift to hand-written evaluator.py
- Add async versions to async_eval.py
- Add shift/reset dispatch to eval.sx spec
- Bootstrap to Python: FIXUPS_PY with sf_reset/sf_shift, regenerate sx_ref.py
- Bootstrap to JS: Continuation/ShiftSignal types, sfReset/sfShift in fixups
- Add continuation? primitive to both bootstrappers and primitives.sx
- Allow callables (including Continuation) in hand-written HO map
- 44 unit tests (22 per evaluator) covering: passthrough, abort, invoke,
double invoke, predicate, stored continuation, nested reset, practical patterns
- Update continuations essay to reflect implemented status with examples

Optional bolt-on extensions to the SX spec. continuations.sx defines
delimited continuations for all targets. callcc.sx defines full call/cc
for targets where it's native (Scheme, Haskell). Shared continuation
type if both are loaded. Wired into specs section of sx-docs.

app-url, asset-url, config, jinja-global, relations-from are declared
as IO in boundary.sx but called inline in .sx code (inside let/filter).
async_eval_ref.py only intercepts IO at the top level — nested calls
fall through to sx_ref.eval_expr which couldn't find them.
Register sync bridge wrappers directly in _PRIMITIVES (bypassing
@register_primitive validation since they're boundary.sx, not
primitives.sx). Both async and sync eval paths now work.

Documents the boundary enforcement model: three tiers, boundary types,
runtime validation, the SX-in-Python rule, and the multi-language story.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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

The JS parser transpiled from parser.sx used tail-recursive functions
(readStrLoop, skipWs, readListLoop, etc.) which overflow the stack on
large inputs — the bootstrapper page highlights 100KB of Python and
143KB of JavaScript, producing 7620 spans in a 907KB response.
The bootstrapper now detects zero-arg self-tail-recursive functions and
emits them as while(true) loops with continue instead of recursive
calls. Tested with 150K char strings and 8000 sibling elements.
Also enables SX_USE_REF=1 in dev via x-dev-env anchor.

is_primitive/get_primitive now check the shared registry
(shared.sx.primitives) when a name isn't in the transpiled PRIMITIVES
dict. Fixes Undefined symbol errors for register_primitive'd functions
like relations-from.

HO forms (map, filter, reduce, etc.) now use call-fn which dispatches
Lambda → call-lambda, native callable → apply, else → clear EvalError.
Previously call-lambda crashed with AttributeError on native functions.

Previously defhandler routed to sf-define which tried to evaluate
(&key ...) params as expressions. Now each form has its own spec

jinja_bridge, helpers, handlers, query_executor now conditionally
import from ref/sx_ref and ref/async_eval_ref when SX_USE_REF=1.

Bootstrap Python transpiler: reads .sx spec files and emits standalone
Python evaluator (sx_ref.py) with both HTML and SX wire format adapters.
Includes async wrapper and SX_USE_REF=1 switching mechanism.
Mirrors bootstrap_js.py pattern — reads the .sx reference spec files
(eval.sx, render.sx, adapter-html.sx) and emits a standalone Python
evaluator module (sx_ref.py) that can be compared against the
hand-written evaluator.py / html.py.
Key transpilation techniques:
- Nested IIFE lambdas for let bindings: (lambda a: body)(val)
- _sx_case helper for case/type dispatch
- Short-circuit and/or via Python ternaries
- Functions with set! emitted as def with _cells dict for mutation
- for-each with inline fn emitted as Python for loops
- Statement-level cond emitted as if/elif/else chains
Passes 27/27 comparison tests against hand-written evaluator.

The sx app is stateless — no database needed. In standalone mode
(SX_STANDALONE=true), the factory now skips register_db() so the app
doesn't crash trying to connect to a non-existent PostgreSQL.

Single Caddy instance handles all domains. sx-web stack joins
externalnet instead of running its own Caddy (port conflict).

- SX_STANDALONE=true env var: no OAuth, no root header, no cross-service
fragments. Same image runs in both rose-ash cooperative and standalone.
- Factory: added no_oauth parameter to create_base_app()
- Standalone layout defcomps skip ~root-header-auto/~root-mobile-auto
- Fixed Dockerfile: was missing sx/sx/ component directory copy
- CI: deploys sx-web swarm stack on main branch when sx changes
- Stack config at ~/sx-web/ (Caddy → sx_docs, Redis)

- New Bootstrappers top-level section with overview index and JS bootstrapper
page that runs bootstrap_js.py and displays both source and generated output
with live script injection (full page load, not SX navigation)
- Essays section: index page with linked cards and summaries, sx-sucks moved
to end of nav, removed "grand tradition" line
- Specs: English prose descriptions alongside all canonical .sx specs, added
Boot/CSSX/Browser spec files to architecture page
- Layout: menu bar nav items wrap instead of overflow, baseline alignment
between label and nav options
- Homepage: added copyright line

Move rendering logic from Python for-loops building sx_call strings into
SX defcomp components that use map/lambda over data dicts. Python now
serializes display data into plain dicts and passes them via a single
sx_call; the SX layer handles iteration and conditional rendering.
Covers orders (rows, items, calendar, tickets), federation (timeline,
search, actors, profile activities), and blog (cards, pages, filters,
snippets, menu items, tag groups, page search, nav OOB).

Two fixes for sx-browser.js (spec-compiled) vs sx.js (hand-written):
1. CSS meta tag mismatch: initCssTracking read meta[name="sx-css-hash"]
but the page template uses meta[name="sx-css-classes"]. This left
_cssHash empty, causing the server to send ALL CSS as "new" on every
navigation, appending duplicate rules that broke Tailwind responsive
ordering (e.g. menu bar layout).
2. Stale verb info after morph: execute-request used captured verbInfo
from bind time. After morph updated element attributes (e.g. during
OOB nav swap), click handlers still fired with old URLs. Now re-reads
verb info from the element first, matching sx.js behavior.
Also includes: render-expression dispatch in eval.sx, NIL guard for
preload cache in bootstrap_js.py, and helpers.py switched to
sx-browser.js.

Spec file registry (slugs, filenames, titles, descriptions) now lives in
nav-data.sx as SX data definitions. Python helper reduced to pure file I/O
(read-spec-file). Architecture page updated with engine/orchestration split
and dependency graph.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
engine.sx now contains only pure logic: parsing, morph, swap, headers,
retry, target resolution, etc. orchestration.sx contains the browser
wiring: request execution, trigger binding, SSE, boost, post-swap
lifecycle, and init. Dependency is one-way: orchestration → engine.
Bootstrap compiler gains "orchestration" as a separate adapter with
deps on engine+dom. Engine-only builds get morph/swap without the
full browser runtime.

- Add Architecture intro page explaining the spec's two-layer design
(core language + selectable adapters) with dependency graph
- Split specs into Core (parser, eval, primitives, render) and
Adapters (DOM, HTML, SX wire, SxEngine) overview pages
- Add individual detail pages for all adapter and engine specs
- Update nav with Architecture landing, Core, Adapters, and all
individual spec file links

Split monolithic render.sx into core (tag registries, shared utils) plus
four adapter .sx files: adapter-html (server HTML strings), adapter-sx
(SX wire format), adapter-dom (browser DOM nodes), and engine (SxEngine
triggers, morphing, swaps). All adapters written in s-expressions with
platform interface declarations for JS bridge functions.
Bootstrap compiler now accepts --adapters flag to emit targeted builds:
-a html → server-only (1108 lines)
-a dom,engine → browser-only (1634 lines)
-a html,sx → server with SX wire (1169 lines)
(default) → all adapters (1800 lines)
Fixes: keyword arg i-counter desync in reduce across all adapters,
render-aware special forms (let/if/when/cond/map) in HTML adapter,
component children double-escaping, ~prefixed macro dispatch.

- 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

- Add _expand_components contextvar so _aser only expands components
during page slot evaluation (fixes highlight on examples, avoids
breaking fragment responses)
- Fix nth arg order (nth coll n) in docs.sx, examples.sx (delete-row,
edit-row, bulk-update)
- Add "Godel, Escher, Bach and SX" essay with Wikipedia links

_aser previously serialized all ~component calls for client rendering.
Components whose bodies call Python-only functions (e.g. highlight) would
fail on the client with "Undefined symbol". Now _aser expands components
that are defined in the env via _aser_component, producing SX wire format
with tag-level bodies inlined. Unknown components still serialize as-is.

bootstrap_js.py reads the reference .sx specification (eval.sx, render.sx)
and transpiles the defined evaluator functions into standalone JavaScript.
The output sx-ref.js is a fully functional SX evaluator bootstrapped from
the s-expression spec, comparable against the hand-written sx.js.
Key features:
- JSEmitter class transpiles SX AST → JS (fn→function, let→IIFE, cond→ternary, etc.)
- Platform interface (types, env ops, primitives) implemented as native JS
- Post-transpilation fixup wraps callLambda to handle both Lambda objects and primitives
- 93/93 tests passing: arithmetic, strings, control flow, closures, HO forms,
components, macros, threading, dict ops, predicates
Fixed during development:
- Bool before int isinstance check (Python bool is subclass of int)
- SX NIL sentinel detection (not Python None)
- Cond style detection (determine Scheme vs Clojure once, not per-pair)
- Predicate null safety (x != null instead of x && to avoid 0-as-falsy in SX)

Dict values (e.g. {:X-CSRFToken csrf}) passed as component kwargs were
not being evaluated through sxEval — symbols stayed unresolved in the DOM.
Also add Cache-Control: no-cache headers for /static/ in dev mode so
browser always fetches fresh JS/CSS without needing hard refresh.
