All signal operations (computed, effect, batch, etc.) now dispatch
function calls through cek-call, which routes SX lambdas via cek-run
and native callables via apply. This replaces the invoke shim.
Key changes:
- cek.sx: add cek-call (defined before reactive-shift-deref), replace
invoke in subscriber disposal and ReactiveResetFrame handler
- signals.sx: replace all 11 invoke calls with cek-call
- js.sx: fix octal escape in js-quote-string (char-from-code 0)
- platform_js.py: fix JS append to match Python (list concat semantics),
add Continuation type guard in PLATFORM_CEK_JS, add scheduleIdle
safety check, module ordering (cek before signals)
- platform_py.py: fix ident-char regex (remove [ ] from valid chars),
module ordering (cek before signals)
- run_js_sx.py: emit PLATFORM_CEK_JS before transpiled spec files
- page-functions.sx: add cek and provide page functions for SX URLs

Both plans had nav entries and component files but were missing from
the page-functions.sx case statement, causing 404s on their URLs.

test-cek-reactive.sx: 9 tests across 4 suites — deref pass-through,
signal without reactive-reset, reactive-reset shift with continuation
capture, scope disposal cleanup. run_cek_reactive_tests.py: new runner
loading signals+frames+cek. Both test runners override sx_ref.eval_expr
back to tree-walk so interpreted .sx uses tree-walk internally.
Plan page added to sx-docs.

- Add `scope` special form to eval.sx: (scope name body...) or
(scope name :value v body...) — general dynamic scope primitive
- `provide` becomes sugar: (provide name value body...) calls scope
- Rename provide-push!/provide-pop! to scope-push!/scope-pop! throughout
all adapters (async, dom, html, sx) and platform implementations
- Update boundary.sx: Tier 5 now "Scoped effects" with scope-push!/
scope-pop! as primary, provide-push!/provide-pop! as aliases
- Add scope form handling to async adapter and aser wire format
- Update sx-browser.js, sx_ref.py (bootstrapped output)
- Add scopes.sx docs page, update provide/spreads/demo docs
- Update nav-data, page-functions, docs page definitions
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- New geography article (provide.sx): four primitives, demos, nested scoping,
adapter comparison, spec explorer links
- Updated spreads article section VI: provide/emit! is now implemented, not planned
- Fixed foundations.sx: ~docs/code-block → ~docs/code (undefined component
was causing the page to silently fail to render)
- Added nav entry and defpage route for provide/emit! article

The plans were routed in page-functions.sx (GraphSX URL eval) but
missing from the defpage case in docs.sx (server-side slug route).

Documents the three orthogonal primitives (spread, collect!, reactive-spread),
their operation across server/client/morph boundaries, CSSX as use case,
semantic style variables, and the planned provide/context/emit! unification.

Component names now reflect filesystem location using / as path separator
and : as namespace separator for shared components:
~sx-header → ~layouts/header
~layout-app-body → ~shared:layout/app-body
~blog-admin-dashboard → ~admin/dashboard
209 files, 4,941 replacements across all services.

All routes moved under /sx/ prefix:
- / redirects to /sx/
- /sx/ serves home page
- /sx/<path:expr> is the catch-all for SX expression URLs
- Bare /(...) and /~... redirect to /sx/(...) and /sx/~...
- All ~600 hrefs, sx-get attrs, defhandler paths, redirect
targets, and blueprint routes updated across 44 files
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Update ~sx-doc :path values in docs.sx from old-style paths to SX
expression URLs (fixes client-side rendered page nav resolution)
- Fix stale hrefs in content/pages.py code examples
- Fix tabs push-url in examples.sx
- Add self-defining-medium + sx-urls + sx-protocol to essay/plan cases

The <slug> route param doesn't match slashes, so
/language/specs/explore/<slug> needs its own defpage
instead of being handled inside specs-page.

The helper was trying to look up all-spec-items from get_component_env(),
but that only contains defcomp/defmacro — not regular defines. Now the
SX routing layer calls find-spec and passes filename/title/desc directly.
Also adds boundary declaration for spec-explorer-data.

- _spec_explorer_data() helper: parses spec files into sections, defines,
effects, params, source blocks, and Python translations via PyEmitter
- specs-explorer.sx: 10 defcomp components for explorer UI — cards with
effect badges, typed param lists, collapsible SX/Python translation panels
- Route at /language/specs/explore/<slug> via docs.sx
- "Explore" link on existing spec detail pages

Specs nav reorganized from flat list into 6 sections with children:
Core (5), Adapters (4), Browser (4), Reactive (1), Host Interface (3),
Extensions (4). Added missing spec items: adapter-async, signals,
boundary, forms, page-helpers, types. Architecture page updated to
match. New essay on ars, techne, and the self-making artifact chain.

New hierarchy: Geography (Reactive Islands, Hypermedia Lakes, Marshes,
Isomorphism), Language (Docs, Specs, Bootstrappers, Testing),
Applications (CSSX, Protocols), Etc (Essays, Philosophy, Plans).
All routes updated to match: /reactive/* → /geography/reactive/*,
/docs/* → /language/docs/*, /essays/* → /etc/essays/*, etc.
Updates nav-data.sx, all defpage routes, API endpoints, internal links
across 43 files. Enhanced find-nav-match for nested group resolution.
Also includes: page-helpers-demo sf-total fix (reduce instead of set!),
rebootstrapped sx-browser.js and sx_ref.py, defensive slice/rest guards.

- Add page-helpers-demo page with defisland ~demo-client-runner (pure SX,
zero JS files) showing spec functions running on both server and client
- Fix _aser_component children serialization: flatten list results from map
instead of serialize(list) which wraps in parens creating ((div ...) ...)
that re-parses as invalid function call. Fixed in adapter-async.sx spec
and async_eval_ref.py
- Switch _eval_slot to use async_eval_ref.py when SX_USE_REF=1 (was
hardcoded to async_eval.py)
- Add Island type support to async_eval_ref.py: import, SSR rendering,
aser dispatch, thread-first, defisland in _ASER_FORMS
- Add server affinity check: components with :affinity :server expand
even when _expand_components is False
- Add diagnostic _aser_stack context to EvalError messages
- New spec files: adapter-async.sx, page-helpers.sx, platform_js.py
- Bootstrappers: page-helpers module support, performance.now() timing
- 0-arity lambda event handler fix in adapter-dom.sx

- Rename /reactive-islands/ → /reactive/, /reference/ → /hypermedia/reference/,
/examples/ → /hypermedia/examples/ across all .sx and .py files
- Add 404 error page (not-found.sx) working on both server refresh and
client-side SX navigation via orchestration.sx error response handling
- Add trailing slash redirect (GET only, excludes /api/, /static/, /internal/)
- Remove blue sky-500 header bar from SX docs layout (conditional on header-rows)
- Fix 405 on API endpoints from trailing slash redirect hitting POST/PUT/DELETE
- Fix client-side 404: orchestration.sx now swaps error response content
instead of silently dropping it
- Add new plan files and home page component

Client-rendered islands were re-hydrated by boot.sx because
renderDomIsland didn't mark them as processed. Hydration read
empty data-sx-state, overwriting kwargs (e.g. path) with NIL.
Fix: mark-processed! in adapter-dom.sx so boot skips them.
New plan: marshes — where reactivity and hypermedia interpenetrate.
Three patterns: server writes to signals, reactive marsh zones with
transforms, and signal-bound hypermedia interpretation.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Islands survive hypermedia swaps: morph-node skips hydrated
data-sx-island elements when the same island exists in new content.
dispose-islands-in skips hydrated islands to prevent premature cleanup.
- @client directive: .sx files marked ;; @client send define forms to browser
- CSSX client-side: cssxgroup renamed (no hyphen) to avoid isRenderExpr
matching it as a custom element — was producing [object HTMLElement]
- Island wrappers: div→span to avoid block-in-inline HTML parse breakage
- ~sx-header is now a defisland with inline reactive colour cycling
- bootstrap_js.py defaults output to shared/static/scripts/sx-browser.js
- Deleted stale sx-ref.js (sx-browser.js is the canonical browser build)
- Hegelian Synthesis essay: dialectic of hypertext and reactivity
- component-source helper handles Island types for docs pretty-printing

Documents the self-hosting process for js.sx including the G0 bug
where Python's `if fn_expr` treated 0/False/"" as falsy, emitting
NIL instead of the correct value. Adds live verification page,
translation differences table, and nav entry.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Update plan page with completion status and results
- Add ~bootstrapper-self-hosting-content component with live G0/G1 verification
- Add _self_hosting_data() helper: loads py.sx, runs it, diffs against G0
- Add "Self-Hosting (py.sx)" to bootstrappers nav and index table
- Wire /bootstrappers/self-hosting route

js.sx — SX-to-JavaScript translator + ahead-of-time component compiler.
Two modes: spec bootstrapper (replacing bootstrap_js.py) and component
compiler (server-evaluated SX trees → standalone JS DOM construction).

Plan for py.sx — an SX-to-Python translator written in SX that

phases, fixed-point verification, and implications for multi-host
bootstrapping.

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.

- 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).

New top-level Philosophy section in sx-docs. Moved SX Manifesto and Strange
Loops from Essays, added three new essays: SX and Wittgenstein (language games,
limits of language, fly-bottles), SX and Dennett (real patterns, multiple drafts,
intentional stance), and S-Existentialism (existence precedes essence, bad faith,
the absurd). Updated all cross-references and navigation.

- Remove ~plan-reactive-islands-content from plans.sx
- Update nav-data.sx and docs.sx routing accordingly

- Demo page: annotated code examples for signal+computed+effect, batch,
cleanup, computed chains, defisland, test suite
- defpage routes: /reactive-islands/ and /reactive-islands/<slug>

New essay arguing SX eliminates the entire conventional web toolchain
(bundlers, transpilers, package managers, CSS tools, dev servers, linters,

Moved on-demand CSS delivery protocol from docs/css into /cssx/delivery,
framed as one strategy among several. Removed the CSSX Components plan
(now redundant with the top-level /cssx/ section).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
New top-level section in sx-docs: /cssx/ with 6 pages:
- Overview: the idea, what changed, advantages
- Patterns: class mapping, data-driven, style functions, responsive, emitting CSS
- Async CSS: components that fetch/cache CSS before rendering via ~suspense
- Live Styles: SSE/WS examples for real-time style updates (noted as future)
- Comparisons: vs styled-components, CSS Modules, Tailwind, Vanilla Extract
- Philosophy: proof by deletion, the right abstraction level
Also:
- Remove CSSX from specs nav (spec file deleted)
- Fix renderer spec prose (no longer mentions StyleValue)
- Update On-Demand CSS essay summary
- Mark CSSX Components plan as done

Add :affinity :client/:server/:auto annotations to defcomp, with
render-target function combining affinity + IO analysis. Includes
spec (eval.sx, deps.sx), tests, Python evaluator, and demo page.
Fix critical bug: Python SX parser _ESCAPE_MAP was missing \r and \0,
causing bootstrapped JS parser to treat 'r' as whitespace — breaking
all client-side SX parsing. Also add \0 to JS string emitter and
fix serializer round-tripping for \r and \0.
Reserved word escaping: bootstrappers now auto-append _ to identifiers
colliding with JS/Python reserved words (e.g. default → default_,
final → final_), so the spec never needs to avoid host language keywords.
