component-source from data/helpers.sx was overriding the native
OCaml version. The SX version calls env-get with wrong arity (1 arg
vs required 2), producing empty source. Re-bind the native version
in SSR overrides after file loading.
Note: source code still not visible because highlight function
returns empty — separate issue in the aser rendering pipeline.
Also adds:
- spec/tests/test-reactive-islands.sx — 22 SX-native tests for all
14 reactive island demos (render + signal logic + DOM)
- tests/node/run-sx-tests.js — Node runner for SX test files
- tests/node/test-reactive-islands.js — 39 Node/happy-dom tests

Tests moved from inline JS assertions to web/tests/test-wasm-browser.sx
using the standard deftest/defsuite/assert-equal framework. The JS driver
(test_wasm_native.js) now just boots the kernel, loads modules, and runs
the SX test file.

build-all.sh was missing the sx-platform.js → sx-platform-2.js copy,
so the served file was stale (still requesting .sxbc.json instead of
.sxbc).

The bytecode compiler generates .sxbc (SX text format), not .sxbc.json.
Updated loadBytecodeFile to fetch .sxbc and use load-sxbc for parsing.
Eliminates 404s for non-existent .sxbc.json files.

Stops 404s for bytecoded module files — the server now serves .sxbc

Root cause: sx_primitives.ml registered "effect" as a native no-op (for SSR).
The bytecode compiler's (primitive? "effect") returned true, so it emitted
OP_CALL_PRIM instead of OP_GLOBAL_GET + OP_CALL. The VM's CALL_PRIM handler
found the native Nil-returning stub and never called the real effect function
from core-signals.sx.
Fix: Remove effect and register-in-scope from the primitives table. The server
overrides them via env_bind in sx_server.ml (after compilation), which doesn't
affect primitive? checks.
Also: VM CALL_PRIM now falls back to cek_call for non-NativeFn values (safety
net for any other functions that get misclassified).

The reactive-spread test used host-get "className" which doesn't exist
on Node.js DOM stubs. Changed to dom-get-attr "class". Also added
render-to-dom CSSX-in-island-scope test verifying the full hydration
pattern produces correct class attributes.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
reactive-spread (module-loaded via K.load) doesn't apply CSSX classes
to DOM elements. Returns null instead of "sx-text-center". This is the
root cause of hydration stripping all styling — every rendering function
is define-bound from module load.
12 pass, 1 fail — the reactive-spread test is the blocker.

Three root causes for reactive attribute updates not propagating in WASM:
1. `context` CEK special form only searched kont provide frames, missing
`scope-push!` entries in the native scope_stacks hashtable. Unified by
adding scope_stacks fallback to step_sf_context.
2. `flush-subscribers` used bare `(sub)` call which failed to invoke
complex closures in for-each HO callbacks. Changed to `(cek-call sub nil)`.
3. Test eagerly evaluated `(deref s)` before render-to-dom saw it.
Fixed tests to use quoted expressions matching real browser boot.
WASM native: 10/10, WASM shell: 26/26.

Revert (when (client?) ...) guard in signals.sx — it broke JS tests
since client? is false in Node.js too.
Instead, rebind effect and register-in-scope as no-ops in sx_server.ml
AFTER all .sx files load. The SX definition from signals.sx is replaced
only in the OCaml SSR context. JS tests and WASM browser keep the real
effect implementation.
Remove redundant browser primitive stubs from sx_primitives.ml — only
resource SSR stub needed (effect override moved to server setup).
JS tests: 1582/1585 (3 VM closure interop remain)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- signals.sx: guard effect body with (when (client?) ...) so effects
are no-op during SSR — only 2 stubs needed (effect, register-in-scope)
- sx_primitives.ml: add resource SSR stub (returns signal {loading: true}),
remove 27 unnecessary browser primitive stubs
- sx_server.ml: native component-source that looks up Component/Island
from env and pretty-prints the definition (replaces broken Python helper)
- reactive-islands/index.sx: Examples section with all 15 live demos
inline + highlighted source via component-source
- reactive-islands/demo.sx: replace 14 hardcoded highlight strings with
(component-source "~name") calls for always-current source

- sx_browser.ml: use cek_call instead of sx_call in call-lambda to
avoid eval_expr deep-copying Dict values (breaks signal mutation)
- sx-browser.js: rebuilt with latest transpiler changes
- reactive-islands/index.sx: pretty-printed (no semantic changes)

Add pretty-print, read-file, env-list-typed primitives to OCaml kernel.
Convert Python reference data (attrs, headers, events, primitives) to SX
data files. Implement page helpers (component-source, handler-source,
read-spec-file, reference-data, etc.) as pure SX functions.
The helper dispatcher in HTTP mode looks up named functions in the env
and calls them directly, replacing the Python IO bridge path.

signal-add-sub! used (append! subscribers f) which returns a new list
for immutable List but discards the result — after signal-remove-sub!
replaces the subscribers list via dict-set!, re-adding subscribers
silently fails. Counter island only worked once (0→1 then stuck).
Fix: use (dict-set! s "subscribers" (append ...)) to explicitly update
the dict field, matching signal-remove-sub!'s pattern.
Build pipeline fixes:
- sx-build-all.sh now bundles spec→dist and recompiles .sxbc bytecode
- compile-modules.js syncs .sx source files alongside .sxbc to wasm/sx/
- Per-file cache busting: wasm, platform JS, and sxbc each get own hash
- bundle.sh adds cssx.sx to dist

JIT compiler:
- Fix jit_compile_lambda: resolve `compile` via symbol lookup in env
instead of embedding VmClosure in AST (CEK dispatches differently)
- Register eval-defcomp/eval-defisland/eval-defmacro runtime helpers
in browser kernel for bytecoded defcomp forms
- Disable broken .sxbc.json path (missing arity in nested code blocks),
use .sxbc text format only
- Mark JIT-failed closures as sentinel to stop retrying
CSSX in browser:
- Add cssx.sx symlink + cssx.sxbc to browser web stack
- Add flush-cssx! to orchestration.sx post-swap for SPA nav
- Add cssx.sx to compile-modules.js and mcp_tree.ml bytecode lists
SPA navigation:
- Fix double-fetch: check e.defaultPrevented in click delegation
(bind-event already handled the click)
- Fix layout destruction: change nav links from outerHTML to innerHTML
swap (outerHTML destroyed #main-panel when response lacked it)
- Guard JS popstate handler when SX engine is booted
- Rename sx-platform.js → sx-platform-2.js to bust immutable cache
Playwright tests:
- Add trackErrors() helper to all test specs
- Add SPA DOM comparison test (SPA nav vs fresh load)
- Add single-fetch + no-duplicate-elements test
- Improve MCP tool output: show failure details and error messages

- AJAX requests (SX-Request: true) now render on main thread instead
of queueing behind slow full-page renders in worker pool

Root cause: _env_bind_hook mirrored ALL env_bind calls (including
lambda parameter bindings) to the shared VM globals table. Factory
functions like make-page-fn that return closures capturing different
values for the same param names (default-name, prefix, suffix) would
have the last call's values overwrite all previous closures' captured
state in globals. OP_GLOBAL_GET reads globals first, so all closures
returned the last factory call's values.
Fix: only sync root-env bindings (parent=None) to VM globals. Lambda
parameter bindings stay in their local env, found via vm_closure_env
fallback in OP_GLOBAL_GET.
Also in this commit:
- OP_CLOSURE propagates parent vm_closure_env to child closures
- Remove JIT globals injection (closure vars found via env chain)
- sx_server.ml: SX-Request header → returns text/sx (aser only)
- sx_server.ml: diagnostic endpoint GET /sx/_debug/{env,eval,route}
- sx_server.ml: page helper stubs for deep page rendering
- sx_server.ml: skip client-libs/ dir (browser-only definitions)
- adapter-html.sx: unknown components → HTML comment (not error)
- sx-platform.js: .sxbc fallback loader for bytecode modules
- Delete sx_http.ml (standalone HTTP server, unused)
- Delete stale .sxbc.json files (arity=0 bug, replaced by .sxbc)
- 7 new closure isolation tests in test-closure-isolation.sx
- mcp_tree.ml: emit arity + upvalue-count in .sxbc.json output

Sx_compiler.compile/compile_module now emit arity (local slot count) in
the bytecode dict. MCP sx_build_bytecode serializes arity into .sxbc.json.
sx-platform.js passes arity through to K.loadModule(). Without this, the
VM allocated only 16 local slots per module frame.

Browser kernel:
- Add `parse` native fn (matches server: unwrap single, list for multiple)
- Restore env==global_env guard on _env_bind_hook (let bindings must not
leak to _vm_globals — caused JIT CSSX "Not callable: nil" errors)
- Add _env_bind_hook call in env_set_id so set! mutations sync to VM globals
- Fire _vm_global_set_hook from OP_DEFINE so VM defines sync back to CEK env
CEK evaluator:
- Replace recursive cek_run with iterative while loop using sx_truthy
(previous attempt used strict Bool true matching, broke in wasm_of_ocaml)
- Remove dead cek_run_iterative function
Web modules:
- Remove find-matching-route and parse-route-pattern stubs from
boot-helpers.sx that shadowed real implementations from router.sx
- Sync boot-helpers.sx to dist/static dirs for bytecode compilation
Platform (sx-platform.js):
- Set data-sx-ready attribute after boot completes (was only in boot-init
which sx-platform.js doesn't call — it steps through boot manually)
- Add document-level click delegation for a[sx-get] links as workaround
for bytecoded bind-event not attaching per-element listeners (VM closure
issue under investigation — bind-event runs but dom-add-listener calls
don't result in addEventListener)
Tests:
- New test_kernel.js: 24 tests covering env sync, parse, route matching,
host FFI/preventDefault, deep recursion
- New navigation test: "sx-get link fetches SX not HTML and preserves layout"
(currently catches layout breakage after SPA swap — known issue)
Known remaining issues:
- JIT CSSX failures: closure-captured variables resolve to nil in VM bytecode
- SPA content swap via execute-request breaks page layout
- Bytecoded bind-event doesn't attach per-element addEventListener (root
cause unknown — when listen-target guard appears to block despite element
being valid)

The deployed sx_browser.bc.wasm.js was actually the js_of_ocaml output

build output from _build/ to shared/static/wasm/.

Replace Node.js compile-modules.js with direct Sx_compiler.compile_module
calls in mcp_tree.ml. No subprocess, no JIT warm-up, no Node.js.
23 files compile in 1.9 seconds.

Rewrite compile-modules.js to use the native OCaml sx_server binary
instead of the js_of_ocaml kernel in Node.js. Compiles 23 modules in
23s (was 3+ minutes). Uses batch epoch protocol with latin1 encoding
to preserve byte positions for multi-byte UTF-8 content.
- Add compile-blob server command: parse source natively, compile via
SX compile-module, return bytecode dict
- Fix orchestration.sxbc.json and boot.sxbc.json — never compiled
successfully with the old JS kernel, now work with native compiler
- Auto-copy compiled bytecode to shared/static/wasm/sx/ for serving

The CEK evaluator's cek_run was recursive (calls itself via cek_step).
Native OCaml handles deep recursion but wasm_of_ocaml compiles to JS
which has ~10K frame stack limit. Complex expressions (bytecode compiler)
exceeded this, causing "Maximum call stack size exceeded" in all WASM
bytecode compilation.
Replace recursive cek_run with iterative while loop — same semantics,
zero stack growth. Fixes sx_build_bytecode and browser-side evaluation.

- Remove prism.js, sweetalert2, body.js, sx-browser.js from shell —
only WASM kernel (sx_browser.bc.wasm.js + sx-platform.js) loads
- Restore request-handler.sx integration: SX handles routing + AJAX
detection, OCaml does aser → SSR → shell render pipeline
- AJAX fragment support: SX-Request header returns content fragment
(~14KB) instead of full page (~858KB), cached with "ajax:" prefix
- Fix language/applications/etc page functions to return empty fragment
instead of nil (was causing 404s)
- Shared JIT VM globals: env_bind hook mirrors ALL bindings to a single
shared globals table — eliminates stale-snapshot class of JIT bugs
- Add native `parse` function for components that need SX parsing
- Clean up unused shell params (sx-js-hash, body-js-hash, head-scripts,
body-scripts, use-wasm) from shell.sx, helpers.py, and server.ml
14/32 Playwright tests pass (navigation, SSR, isomorphic, geography).

The optimization to call the compiler through VM directly (instead
of CEK) when it's JIT-compiled was producing incorrect bytecode for
all subsequently compiled functions, causing "Expected number, got
symbol" errors across render-to-html, parse-loop, etc.
Revert to always using CEK for compilation. The compiler runs via
CEK which is slower but produces correct bytecode. JIT-compiled
USER functions still run at VM speed.

The iterative cek_run with Atomic step counting and debug prints
added overhead and complexity. The debug print called value_to_str

Removing injection broke GLOBAL_GET for all JIT-compiled functions,
not just mutable closures. Top-level functions like render-to-html
need their referenced bindings in the VM globals table.
Restore the original injection (only injects values not already in
globals). Mutable closure vars (parser's pos etc.) still get stale
snapshots and fall back to CEK — that's the known limitation to fix
with cell-based boxing later.
1166 passed, 0 failed.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Root cause: jit_compile_lambda copied closure variable VALUES into the
VM globals table. GLOBAL_GET found these stale snapshots instead of
falling through to vm_closure_env which has live bindings. When set!
mutated a variable (like parser's pos), the JIT code read the old
snapshot value.
Fix: don't inject closure bindings into globals at all. GLOBAL_GET
already has a fallback path that walks vm_closure_env — this sees
live env bindings that are updated by set!. No new opcodes needed.
This should fix JIT for parse-loop, skip-ws, read-expr and other
closure functions that use mutable variables.

Atomic.fetch_and_add on every CEK step added unnecessary overhead.

Prints phase + control expression every 1,048,576 steps so infinite

Setting jit_failed_sentinel on new instances of warned function names
caused hanging — the mutation interfered with CEK execution. Now just
return None without touching l_compiled. The _jit_warned hash lookup
is a cheap check per call with no side effects.

New closure instances of functions like parse-loop get l_compiled=None
even though a previous instance already failed. Now check _jit_warned
by name and immediately sentinel-mark new instances of known failures.
The first failure is always logged. Subsequent instances are silently
sentinel-marked — no recompilation, no log spam, no suppressed errors.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Revert the _jit_warned check that silenced repeated JIT failures.
These errors indicate real JIT limitations (mutable closures) that
should remain visible until properly fixed. The sentinel on the
instance still prevents the same lambda from retrying.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
When a JIT-compiled function failed on first call, the function name
was added to _jit_warned but this was never checked before recompiling.
Closures like parse-loop create new lambda instances on each call,
each with l_compiled=None, triggering fresh compilation + failure
in an infinite loop.
Fix: check _jit_warned before attempting compilation, and mark the
lambda with jit_failed_sentinel on first-call failure so the same
instance also stops retrying.

- sx-platform.js: register popstate handler (was missing from manual
boot sequence) and fetch full HTML for back/forward navigation
- sx_ref.ml: add CEK step limit (10M steps) checked every 4096 steps
so runaway renders return 500 instead of blocking the worker forever

Island markers rendered during SX navigation responses had no

Also fix post-swap to use parent element for outerHTML swaps in
