- _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

New plan page at /etc/plans/spec-explorer describing the "fifth ring"
architecture: SX exploring itself through per-function cards showing
source, Python/JS/Z3 translations, platform deps, tests, proofs, and
usage examples.

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 platform_js primitives for direct DOM property/method access and
cross-origin iframe communication. Service worker static cache bumped
to v2 to flush stale assets. Removed experimental video embed from
header island, routes, and home page.

- ~video-player defisland persists across SPA navigations (morph-safe)
- Clicking "reactive" cycles colour (signal) + fetches random YouTube video (sx-get)
- sx-trigger="fetch-video" + dom-first-child check: video keeps playing on repeat clicks
- Close button (x) clears video via /api/clear-video hypermedia endpoint
- Autoplay+mute removes YouTube's red play button overlay
- Header restructured: logo in anchor, tagline outside (no accidental navigation)
- Flex centering on video container

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.

Two bugs fixed:
1. process-bindings used merge(env) which returns {} for Env objects
(Env is not a dict subclass). Changed to env-extend in render.sx
and adapter-async.sx. This caused "Undefined symbol: theme" etc.
2. async-aser-eval-call passed evaled-args list to async-invoke(&rest),
double-wrapping it. Changed to inline apply + coroutine check.
Also: bootstrap define-async into sx_ref.py (Phase 6), replace ~1000 LOC
hand-written async_eval_ref.py with 24-line thin re-export shim.
Test runner now uses Env (not flat dict) for render envs to catch scope bugs.
8 new regression tests (4 scope chain, 2 native callable arity, 2 render).

- 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

EvalError moved to types.py. All 27 files updated to import eval_expr,
trampoline, call_lambda, etc. directly from shared.sx.ref.sx_ref instead
of through the evaluator.py indirection layer. 320/320 spec tests pass.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Fix qq-expand in eval.sx: use concat+list instead of append to prevent
nested lists from being flattened during quasiquote expansion
- Update append primitive to match spec ("if x is list, concatenate")
- Rebuild sx_ref.py with quasiquote fix
- Make relations.py self-contained: parse defrelation AST directly
without depending on the evaluator (25/25 tests pass)
- Replace hand-written JSEmitter with js.sx self-hosting bootstrapper
- Guard server-only tests in test-eval.sx with runtime check

- 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.

The ~sx-header island now shows the current page path (faded, after
the copyright) inside the copyright lake. Navigate between pages:
the path text updates via server-driven lake morph while the reactive
colour-cycling signal persists. Subtle visible proof of L2-3.
Also fixes Island &key param serialization in component-source helper.

Lake tag (lake :id "name" children...) creates server-morphable slots
within islands. During morph, the engine enters hydrated islands and
updates data-sx-lake elements by ID while preserving surrounding
reactive DOM (signals, effects, event listeners).
Specced in .sx, bootstrapped to JS and Python:
- adapter-dom.sx: render-dom-lake, reactive-attr marks data-sx-reactive-attrs
- adapter-html.sx: render-html-lake SSR output
- adapter-sx.sx: lake serialized in wire format
- engine.sx: morph-island-children (lake-by-ID matching),
sync-attrs skips reactive attributes
- ~sx-header uses lakes for logo and copyright
- Hegelian essay updated with lake code example
Also includes: lambda nil-padding for missing args, page env ordering fix
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

- Configurable page shell (~sx-page-shell kwargs + SX_SHELL app config)
so each app controls its own assets — sx docs loads only sx-browser.js
- SX-evaluated sx-on:* handlers (eval-expr instead of new Function)
with DOM primitives registered in PRIMITIVES table
- data-init boot mode for pure SX initialization scripts
- Jiggle animation on links while fetching
- Nav: 3-column grid for centered alignment, is-leaf sizing,
fix map-indexed param order (index, item), guard mod-by-zero
- Async route eval failure now falls back to server fetch
instead of silently rendering nothing
- Remove duplicate h1 title from ~doc-page
- Re-bootstrap sx-ref.js + sx-browser.js

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.

- 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

The translation rules are mechanical and apply to all SX forms — HTML tags,
components, macros, islands, page forms. Bootstrapping the spec is the first
test case (fixed-point proof); phases 6-9 extend to full SX compilation.

js.sx — SX-to-JavaScript translator + ahead-of-time component compiler.
Two modes: spec bootstrapper (replacing bootstrap_js.py) and component

Plan for py.sx — an SX-to-Python translator written in SX that
replaces bootstrap_py.py. Covers translation rules, statement vs
expression modes, mutation/cell variables, five implementation
phases, fixed-point verification, and implications for multi-host
bootstrapping.

- z3.sx: SX-to-SMT-LIB translator written in SX (359 lines), replaces Python translation logic
- prove.sx: SMT-LIB satisfiability checker in SX — proves all 91 primitives sat by construction
- Parser: support unicode characters (em-dash, accented letters) in symbols
- Auto-resolve reader macros: #name finds name-translate in component env, no Python registration
- Platform primitives: type-of, symbol-name, keyword-name, sx-parse registered in primitives.py
- Cond heuristic: predicates ending in ? recognized as Clojure-style tests
- Library loading: z3.sx loaded at startup with reload callbacks for hot-reload ordering
- reader_z3.py: rewritten as thin shell delegating to z3.sx
- Split monolithic .sx files: essays (22), plans (13), reactive-islands (6) into separate files

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
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- :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.

- 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.

- 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

All major plan items are now spec'd and bootstrapped:
- Signal runtime, named stores, event bridge (signals.sx)
- Event bindings :on-click (adapter-dom.sx)
- data-sx-emit processing (orchestration.sx)
- Client hydration + disposal (boot.sx)
- Full JS + Python bootstrapping
Only remaining: keyed list reconciliation (optimization)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
