spec/ now contains only the language definition (5 files):
evaluator.sx, parser.sx, primitives.sx, render.sx, special-forms.sx
lib/ contains code written IN the language (8 files):
stdlib.sx, types.sx, freeze.sx, content.sx,
bytecode.sx, compiler.sx, vm.sx, callcc.sx
Test files follow source: spec/tests/ for core language tests,
lib/tests/ for library tests (continuations, freeze, types, vm).
Updated all consumers:
- JS/Python/OCaml bootstrappers: added lib/ to source search paths
- OCaml bridge: spec_dir for parser/render, lib_dir for compiler/freeze
- JS test runner: scans spec/tests/ (always) + lib/tests/ (--full)
- OCaml test runner: scans spec/tests/, lib tests via explicit request
- Docker dev mounts: added ./lib:/app/lib:ro
Tests: 1041 JS standard, 1322 JS full, 1101 OCaml — all pass

Islands now render their initial state as HTML on the server, like
React SSR. The client hydrates with reactive behavior on boot.
Root causes fixed:
- is_signal/signal_value now recognize Dict-based signals (from
signals.sx) in addition to native Signal values
- Register "context" as a primitive so the CEK deref frame handler
can read scope stacks for reactive tracking
- Load adapter-html.sx into kernel for SX-level render-to-html
(islands use this instead of the OCaml render module)
- Component accessors (params, body, has-children?, affinity) handle
Island values with ? suffix aliases
- Add platform primitives: make-raw-html, raw-html-content,
empty-dict?, for-each-indexed, cek-call

Aser serialization: aser-call/fragment now return SxExpr instead of String.
serialize/inspect passes SxExpr through unquoted, preventing the double-
escaping (\" → \\\" ) that broke client-side parsing when aser wire format
was output via raw! into <script> tags. Added make-sx-expr + sx-expr-source
primitives to OCaml and JS hosts.
Binary blob protocol: eval, aser, aser-slot, and sx-page-full now send SX
source as length-prefixed blobs instead of escaped strings. Eliminates pipe
desync from concurrent requests and removes all string-escape round-trips
between Python and OCaml.
Bridge safety: re-entrancy guard (_in_io_handler) raises immediately if an
IO handler tries to call the bridge, preventing silent deadlocks.
Fetch error logging: orchestration.sx error callback now logs method + URL
via log-warn. Platform catches (fetchAndRestore, fetchPreload, bindBoostForm)
also log errors instead of silently swallowing them.
Transpiler fixes: makeEnv, scopePeek, scopeEmit, makeSxExpr added as
platform function definitions + transpiler mappings — were referenced in
transpiled code but never defined as JS functions.
Playwright test infrastructure:
- nav() captures JS errors and fails fast with the actual error message
- Checks for [object Object] rendering artifacts
- New tests: delete-row interaction, full page refresh, back button,
direct load with fresh context, code block content verification
- Default base URL changed to localhost:8013 (standalone dev server)
- docker-compose.dev-sx.yml: port 8013 exposed for local testing
- test-sx-build.sh: build + unit tests + Playwright smoke tests
Geography content: index page component written (sx/sx/geography/index.sx)
describing OCaml evaluator, wire formats, rendering pipeline, and topic
links. Wiring blocked by aser-expand-component children passing issue.
Tests: 1080/1080 JS, 952/952 OCaml, 66/66 Playwright

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
