Lambda multi-body fix: sf-lambda used (nth args 1), dropping all but the first
body expression. Fixed to collect all body expressions and wrap in (begin ...).
This was foundational — every multi-expression lambda in every island silently
dropped expressions after the first.
Reactive islands: fix dom-parent marker timing (first effect run before marker
is in DOM), fix :key eager evaluation, fix error boundary scope isolation,
fix resource/suspense reactive cond tracking, fix inc not available as JS var.
New essay: "React is Hypermedia" — argues that reactive islands are hypermedia
controls whose behavior is specified in SX, not a departure from hypermedia.

- suspense render-dom form: shows fallback while resource loads, swaps
to body content when resource signal resolves
- resource async signal: wraps promise into signal with loading/data/error
dict, auto-transitions on resolve/reject via promise-then
- transition: defers signal writes to requestIdleCallback, sets pending
signal for UI feedback during expensive operations
- Added schedule-idle, promise-then platform functions
- All Phase 2 features now marked Done in status tables

- :class-map dict toggles classes reactively via classList.add/remove
- :style-map dict sets inline styles reactively via el.style[prop]
- ref/ref-get/ref-set! mutable boxes (non-reactive, like useRef)
- :ref attribute sets ref.current to DOM element after rendering
- portal render-dom form renders children into remote target element
- Portal content auto-removed on island disposal via register-in-scope
- Added #portal-root div to page shell template
- Added stop-propagation and dom-focus platform functions
- Demo islands for all three features on the demo page
- Updated status tables: all P0/P1 features marked Done

Items with :key attributes are matched by key across renders — existing
DOM nodes are reused, stale nodes removed, new nodes inserted in order.
Falls back to clear-and-rerender without keys.

- Effect and computed auto-register disposers with island scope via
register-in-scope; dispose-islands-in called before every swap point
(orchestration.sx) to clean up intervals/subscriptions on navigation.
- Map + deref inside islands auto-upgrades to reactive-list for signal-
bound list rendering. Demo island with add/remove items.
- New :bind attribute for two-way signal-input binding (text, checkbox,
radio, textarea, select). bind-input in adapter-dom.sx handles both
signal→element (effect) and element→signal (event listener).
- Phase 2 plan page at /reactive-islands/phase2 covering input binding,
keyed reconciliation, reactive class/style, refs, portals, error
boundaries, suspense, and transitions.
- Updated status tables in overview and plan pages.
- Fixed stopwatch reset (fn body needs do wrapper for multiple exprs).

Three bugs prevented islands from working during SX wire navigation:
1. components_for_request() only bundled Component and Macro defs, not
Island defs — client never received defisland definitions during
navigation (components_for_page for initial HTML shell was correct).
2. hydrate-island used morph-children which can't transfer addEventListener
event handlers from freshly rendered DOM to existing nodes. Changed to
clear+append so reactive DOM with live signal subscriptions is inserted
directly.
3. asyncRenderToDom (client-side async page eval) checked _component but
not _island on ~-prefixed names — islands fell through to generic eval
which failed. Now delegates to renderDomIsland.
4. setInterval_/setTimeout_ passed SX Lambda objects directly to native
timers. JS coerced them to "[object Object]" and tried to eval as code,
causing "missing ] after element list". Added _wrapSxFn to convert SX
lambdas to JS functions before passing to timers.

- Rebuild sx-browser.js with signals spec module (was missing entirely)
- Register signal functions (signal, deref, effect, computed, etc.) as
PRIMITIVES so runtime-evaluated SX code in island bodies can call them
- Add reactive deref detection in adapter-dom.sx: (deref sig) in island
scope creates reactive-text node instead of static text
- Add Island SSR support in html.py (_render_island with data-sx-island)
- Add Island bundling in jinja_bridge.py (defisland defs sent to client)
- Update deps.py to track Island dependencies alongside Component
- Add defisland to _ASER_FORMS in async_eval.py
- Add clear-interval platform primitive (was missing)
- Create four live demo islands: counter, temperature, imperative, stopwatch

Both bootstrappers now handle the full signal runtime:
- &rest lambda params → JS arguments.slice / Python *args
- Signal/Island/TrackingContext platform functions in both hosts
- RENAMES for all signal, island, tracking, and reactive DOM identifiers
- signals auto-included with DOM adapter (JS) and HTML adapter (Python)
- Signal API exports on Sx object (signal, deref, reset, swap, computed, effect, batch)
- New DOM primitives: createComment, domRemove, domChildNodes, domRemoveChildrenAfter, domSetData
- jsonSerialize/isEmptyDict for island state serialization
- Demo HTML page exercising all signal primitives

The entire parallel CSS system (StyleValue type, style dictionary,
keyword atom resolver, content-addressed class generation, runtime
CSS injection, localStorage caching) was built but never adopted —
the codebase already uses :class strings with defcomp components
for all styling. Remove ~3,000 lines of unused infrastructure.
Deleted:
- cssx.sx spec module (317 lines)
- style_dict.py (782 lines) and style_resolver.py (254 lines)
- StyleValue type, defkeyframes special form, build-keyframes platform fn
- Style dict JSON delivery (<script type="text/sx-styles">), cookies, localStorage
- css/merge-styles primitives, inject-style-value, fnv1a-hash platform interface
Simplified:
- defstyle now binds any value (string, function) — no StyleValue type needed
- render-attrs no longer special-cases :style StyleValue → class conversion
- Boot sequence skips style dict init step
Preserved:
- tw.css parsing + CSS class delivery (SX-Css headers, <style id="sx-css">)
- All component infrastructure (defcomp, caching, bundling, deps)
- defstyle as a binding form for reusable class strings

Extend the spec with IO scanning functions (scan-io-refs, transitive-io-refs,
compute-all-io-refs, component-pure?) that detect IO primitive references in
component ASTs. Components are classified as pure (no IO deps, safe for client
rendering) or IO-dependent (must expand server-side).
The partial evaluator (_aser) now uses per-component IO metadata instead of
the global _expand_components toggle: IO-dependent components expand server-
side, pure components serialize for client. Layout slot context still expands
all components for backwards compat.
Spec: 5 new functions + 2 platform interface additions in deps.sx
Host: io_refs field + is_pure property on Component, compute_all_io_refs()
Bootstrap: both sx_ref.py and sx-ref.js updated with IO functions
Bundle analyzer: shows pure/IO classification per page

deps.sx is now a spec module that both bootstrap_py.py and bootstrap_js.py
can include via --spec-modules deps. Platform functions (component-deps,
component-set-deps!, component-css-classes, env-components, regex-find-all,
scan-css-classes) implemented natively in both Python and JS.
- Fix deps.sx: env-get-or → env-get, extract nested define to top-level
- bootstrap_py.py: SPEC_MODULES, PLATFORM_DEPS_PY, mangle entries, CLI arg
- bootstrap_js.py: SPEC_MODULES, PLATFORM_DEPS_JS, mangle entries, CLI arg
- Regenerate sx_ref.py and sx-ref.js with deps module
- deps.py: thin dispatcher (SX_USE_REF=1 → bootstrapped, else fallback)
- scan_components_from_sx now returns ~prefixed names (consistent with spec)
Verified: 541 Python tests pass, JS deps tested with Node.js, both code
paths (fallback + bootstrapped) produce identical results.

(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.

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.

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.

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.

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)
