Two additions from loops/hs needed for the new WebSocket socket tests:
- unhandledRejection suppressor — synchronous test harness doesn't await RPC promises
- Fake setTimeout/clearTimeout + __hsFlushTimers — drain RPC timeout tests synchronously
Plan update: mark E36 WebSocket as DONE (previously "design-done, pending review").
Skipped: loops/hs's tests/playwright/generate-sx-tests.py — architecture's version
is 1468 lines vs loops/hs's 290; arch's is the further-evolved version.

plans/kernel-on-sx.md — Phase 7 header updated from "partial" to
"env.sx EXTRACTED 2026-05-12"; second-consumer-found checkbox ticked
for env.sx specifically. Other five files (combiner, evaluator,
hygiene, quoting, short-circuit) stay blocked pending their own
second consumers.
plans/lib-guest-reflective.md — Phases 1-3 ticked off with date
stamps; Outcome section added summarising the three commits, file
stats (124 LoC, within 80-200 bound), and the third-consumer
adoption protocol (cfg with five keys, no changes to env.sx).
The kernel-on-sx loop documented six candidate reflective API files
gated on the two-consumer rule. This plan opens that block by
selecting Tcl's existing uplevel/upvar machinery as the second
consumer for env.sx specifically (the highest-fit candidate).
Discovery: Kernel and Tcl have identical scope-chain semantics but
diverge on mutable-vs-functional update. Solution: adapter-cfg
pattern, same as lib/guest/match.sx. Canonical wire shape with
mutable defaults for Kernel; Tcl provides its own cfg keeping
the functional model.
Roadmap: env.sx extracted, both consumers migrated, all tests green.
The other five candidate files (combiner, evaluator, hygiene,
quoting, short-circuit) stay deferred — Tcl has no operatives.
Loop closer documenting what 18 feature commits produced. Kernel-on-SX
is 1,398 LoC substrate + 1,747 LoC tests = 3,145 LoC total. Zero
substrate fixes required across the loop. R-1RK core + extras
implemented. Six proposed lib/guest/reflective/ files awaiting second
consumer. Substrate verdict: env-as-value generalises to
evaluator-as-value; the m-eval demo proves it.
Five type predicates (number?, string?, list?, boolean?, symbol?).
New tests/metacircular.sx: m-eval defined in Kernel walks expressions
itself, recursing on applicative-call args and delegating to host
eval only for operatives and symbol lookup. 14 demo tests.
The demo surfaced a real bug: map/filter/reduce called kernel-combine
on applicative head-vals directly, which re-evaluates already-
evaluated element values; nested-list elements crashed. Fix: extracted
knl-apply-op (unwrap-applicative-or-pass-through) and use it in all
three combinators before kernel-combine. Mirrors apply's approach.
Added knl-apply-op as a proposed entry in the reflective combiner.sx
API. 322 tests total.
apl-inner now wraps its result in (enclose result) when A's ravel
contains any dict element (a boxed array). This matches Hui's
semantics where `1 ⍵ ∨.∧ X` produces a rank-0 wrapping the
(5 5) board, then ⊃ unwraps to bare matrix.
Homogeneous inner product unaffected (+.× over numbers and
matrices still produces bare arrays — none of those ravels
contain dicts).
life.apl restored to true as-written form:
life ← {⊃1 ⍵ ∨.∧ 3 4 = +/ +/ ¯1 0 1 ∘.⊖ ¯1 0 1 ⌽¨ ⊂⍵}
4 pipeline tests + 5 e2e tests verify heterogeneous case and
that ⊃ unwraps to the underlying (5 5) board.
Full suite 589/589. Phase 11 complete.
(apply F (list V1 V2 V3)) ≡ (F V1 V2 V3). Unwrap applicative first to
skip auto-eval (args are values), then kernel-combine with the
underlying operative. Universal pattern in reflective Lisps —
sketched into the combiner.sx API. 296 tests total.
Added kernel-make-primitive-applicative-with-env in eval.sx — IMPL
receives (args dyn-env), needed by combinators that re-enter the
evaluator. map/filter/reduce in runtime.sx use it to call user-supplied
combiners on each element with the caller's dynamic env preserved.
Sketched the env-blind vs env-aware applicative split as a new entry
in the proposed combiner.sx reflective API. 289 tests total.
Standard Kernel control flow. $cond walks clauses in order with `else`
catch-all; clauses past the first match are NOT evaluated. $when/$unless
are simple guards. 12 tests, 242 total.
kernel-quasiquote-operative walks the template via mutually-recursive
knl-quasi-walk ↔ knl-quasi-walk-list. $unquote forms eval in dyn-env;
$unquote-splicing splices list-valued results. No depth tracking
(nested quasiquotes flatten). 8 new tests, 230 total. Sketched the
universal reflective quoting kit API for the eventual Phase 7 extraction.
:body slot holds a LIST of forms now (was single expression). New
knl-eval-body in eval.sx evaluates each form in sequence, returning
the last. $vau and $lambda accept (formals env-param body...) /
(formals body...). No $sequence dependency. 223 tests total.
Parser now reads 'expr, \`expr, ,expr, ,@expr as the four standard
shorthands. Quote uses existing $quote operative; quasiquote /
unquote / unquote-splicing recognised but not yet expanded at runtime
(left for first consumer to drive). 218 tests total across six suites.
Hygiene-by-default was already present: user operatives close over
static-env and bind formals + body $define!s in (extend STATIC-ENV),
caller's env untouched. $let evaluates values in caller env, binds
in fresh child env, runs body there. $define-in! explicitly targets
an env. Full scope-set / frame-stamp hygiene is research-grade
and documented as deferred future work in the reflective API notes.
`dl-set-strategy!` accepted any keyword silently — typos like
`:semi_naive` or `:semiNaive` were stored uninspected and the
saturator then used the default. The user never learned their
setting was wrong.
Validator added: strategy must be one of `:semi-naive`, `:naive`,
`:magic` (the values currently recognised by the saturator and
magic-sets driver). Unknown values raise with a clear message that
lists the accepted set.

The renamer for anonymous `_` variables started at counter 0 and
produced `_anon1, _anon2, ...` unconditionally. A user writing the
same naming convention would see their variables shadowed:
(dl-eval "p(a, b). p(c, d). q(_anon1) :- p(_anon1, _)."
"?- q(X).")
=> () ; should be ({:X a} {:X c})
The `_` got renamed to `_anon1` too, collapsing the two positions
of `p` to a single var (forcing args to be equal — which neither
tuple satisfies).
Fix: scan each rule (and query goal) for the highest `_anon<N>`
already present and start the renamer past it. New helpers
`dl-max-anon-num` / `dl-max-anon-num-list` / `dl-try-parse-int`
walk the rule tree; `dl-make-anon-renamer` now takes a `start`
argument; `dl-rename-anon-rule` and the query-time renamer in
`dl-query` both compute the start from the input.

dl-magic-query could silently diverge from dl-query when an
aggregate's inner-goal relation was IDB. The rewriter passes
aggregate body lits through unchanged (no magic propagation
generated for them), so the inner relation was empty in the magic
db and the aggregate returned 0. Repro:
(dl-eval-magic
"u(a). u(b). u(c). u(d). banned(b). banned(d).
active(X) :- u(X), not(banned(X)).
n(N) :- count(N, X, active(X))."
"?- n(N).")
=> ({:N 0}) ; should be ({:N 2})
dl-magic-query now pre-saturates the source db before copying facts
into the magic db. This guarantees equivalence with dl-query for
every stratified program; the magic benefit still comes from
goal-directed re-derivation of the query relation under the seed
(which matters for large recursive joins). The existing test cases
happened to dodge this because their aggregate inner-goals were all
EDB.

The canonical Datalog idiom for "no X has any Y":
orphan(X) :- person(X), not(parent(X, _)).
was rejected by the safety check with "negation refers to unbound
variable(s) (\"_anon1\")". The parser renames each anonymous `_`
to a fresh `_anon*` symbol so multiple `_` occurrences don't unify
with each other, and the negation safety walk then demanded all
free vars in the negated lit be bound by an earlier positive body
lit — including the renamed anonymous vars.
Anonymous vars in a negation are existentially quantified within
the negation, not requirements from outside. Added dl-non-anon-vars
to strip `_anon*` names from the `needed` set before the binding
check in dl-process-neg!. Real vars (like `X` in the orphan idiom)
still must be bound by an earlier positive body lit, just as before.
2 new regression tests (orphan idiom + multi-anon "solo" pattern);
conformance 273/273.

Datalog has no function symbols in argument positions, but the
existing dl-add-fact! / dl-add-rule! validators only checked that
literals were ground (no free variables). A compound like `+(1, 2)`
contains no variables, so:
p(+(1, 2)).
=> stored as the unreduced tuple `(p (+ 1 2))`
double(*(X, 2)) :- n(X). n(3).
=> saturates `double((* 3 2))` instead of `double(6)`
Added dl-simple-term? (number / string / symbol) and an
args-simple? walker, used by:
- dl-add-fact!: all args must be simple terms
- dl-add-rule!: rule head args must be simple terms (variables
are symbols, so they pass)
Compounds remain legal in body literals where they encode `is` /
arithmetic / aggregate sub-goals. Error messages name the offending
literal and point the user at the body-only mechanism.
