Match exhaustiveness analysis:
- check-match-exhaustiveness function in evaluator.sx
- lint-node in tree-tools.sx checks match forms during format-check
- Warns on: no wildcard/catch-all, boolean missing true/false case
- (match x (true "yes")) → "match may be non-exhaustive"
Evaluator cleanup:
- Added missing step-sf-callcc definition (was in old transpiled output)
- Added missing step-sf-case definition (was in old transpiled output)
- Removed protocol functions from bootstrap skip set (they transpile fine)
- Retranspiled VM (bootstrap_vm.py) for compatibility
2650 tests pass (+5 from new features).
All Step 7 features complete:
7a: ->> |> as-> pipe operators
7b: Dict patterns, &rest, let-match destructuring
7c: define-protocol, implement, satisfies?
7d: Exhaustive match checking

Three new pattern matching features in evaluator.sx:
1. Dict patterns in match:
(match {:name "Alice" :age 30}
({:name n :age a} (list n a))) ;; => ("Alice" 30)
2. &rest in list patterns:
(match (list 1 2 3 4 5)
((a b &rest tail) tail)) ;; => (3 4 5)
3. let-match form (sugar for match):
(let-match {:x x :y y} {:x 3 :y 4}
(+ (* x x) (* y y))) ;; => 25
Also: transpiler fix — "extra" key added to CekFrame cf_extra mapping
(was the root cause of thread-last mode not being stored).
2644 tests pass, zero regressions.

Add to evaluator.sx:
- step-sf-thread-last: thread-last operator (inserts value at end)
- step-sf-thread-as: thread-anywhere with named binding
- thread-insert-arg-last: last-position insertion function
- step-sf-case: missing function (was in old transpiled output but not spec)
- Register ->>, |>, as-> in step-eval-list dispatch
Status:
- ->> dispatch works (enters thread-last correctly)
- HO forms (map, filter) with ->> work correctly
- Non-HO forms with ->> still use thread-first (transpiler bug)
- as-> binding fails (related transpiler bug)
Transpiler bug: thread_insert_arg_last definition body is merged with
step_continue in the let rec block. The transpiler incorrectly chains
them as one function. Need to investigate the let rec emission logic.
2644 tests still pass (no regressions from new operators).

All 26 browser modules recompiled with define-library/import forms.
Compilation works without vm-compile-adapter (JIT pre-compilation
hangs with library wrappers in some JIT paths — skipped for now,
CEK compilation is ~34s total).
Key fixes:
- eval command: import-aware loop that handles define-library/import
locally without touching the Python bridge pipe (avoids deadlock)
- compile-modules.js: skip vm-compile-adapter, bump timeout
2621/2621 OCaml tests passing.

evaluator.sx: 11 section headers + 27 subgroup/function comments
documenting the CEK machine structure (state, frames, kont ops,
extension points, eval utilities, machine core, special forms,
call dispatch, HO forms, continue phase, entry points).
mcp_tree.ml: sx_summarise and sx_read_tree now inject file comments
into their output — comments appear as un-numbered annotation lines
between indexed entries, so indices stay correct for editing.

When aser manages scope via scope_stacks but a sub-expression falls
through to the CEK machine, context/emit!/emitted couldn't find the
scope frames (they're in scope_stacks, not on the kont). Now the CEK
special forms fall back to env-bound primitives when kont lookup fails.
2568/2568 tests pass (was 2566/2568).

- make-raise-guard-frame: was never defined in spec — added it
- *last-error-kont*: set at error origination (host-error calls), not
wrapped around every cek-run step. Zero overhead on normal path.
- JIT: jit-try-call runtime function called from spec. Platform
registers hook via _jit_try_call_fn ref. No bootstrap patching.
- bootstrap.py compile_spec_to_ml() now returns transpiled output
with zero post-processing.

- guard as CEK special form in evaluator.sx, desugars to call/cc +
handler-bind with sentinel-based re-raise (avoids handler loop)
- bootstrap.py: fix bind_lambda_with_rest type annotations, auto-inject
make_raise_guard_frame when transpiler drops it
- mcp_tree: add timeout param to sx_test (default 300s)

Phase 1 engine step 4 — R7RS compatibility primitives for the CEK evaluator.
call/cc: undelimited continuation capture with separate CallccContinuation
type (distinct from delimited shift/reset continuations). Escape semantics —
invoking k replaces the current continuation entirely.
raise/raise-continuable: proper CEK arg evaluation via raise-eval frame.
Non-continuable raise uses raise-guard frame that errors on handler return.
host-error primitive for safe unhandled exception fallback.
Multi-arity map: (map fn list1 list2 ...) zips multiple lists. Single-list
path unchanged for performance. New multi-map frame type.
cond =>: arrow clause syntax (cond (test => fn)) calls fn with test value.
New cond-arrow frame type.
R7RS do: shape-detecting dispatch — (do ((var init step) ...) (test result) body)
desugars to named let. Existing (do expr1 expr2) sequential form preserved.
integer? primitive, host-error alias. Transpiler fixes: match/case routing,
wildcard _ support, nested match arm handling.
2522/2524 OCaml tests pass (2 pre-existing scope failures from transpiler
match codegen, not related to these changes).

Named let's sf-named-let used call-lambda which returns a thunk that
was never trampolined. The body executed in a disconnected env, so
set! couldn't reach outer let bindings. Fixed by using cek-call which
evaluates through the full CEK machine with proper env chain.
Also converted test-named-let-set.sx from assert= (uses broken = for
lists) to deftest/assert-equal (uses deep equal?).
JS standard: 1120/1120, JS full: 1600/1600. Zero failures.

OCaml HTML renderer (sx_render.ml) silently returned "" when env_get
failed for primitive function calls (str, +, len, etc.) inside HTML
elements. The Eval_error catch now falls through to eval_expr which
resolves primitives correctly. Fixes 21 rendering tests.
Rename condition system special form from "signal" to "signal-condition"
in evaluator.sx, matching the OCaml bootstrapped evaluator (sx_ref.ml).
This avoids clashing with the reactive signal function. Fixes 9
condition system tests.

Convert large cond chains doing string equality dispatch to use the
match special form: step-eval-list (42 arms), step-continue (31 arms),
compile-list (30 arms), ho-setup-dispatch (7 arms), value-matches-type?

and load canonical.sx in both test runners.

Two paren bugs in home-stepper.sx caused the home page to render blank:
1. Line 222 had one extra ) that prematurely closed the letrec bindings
list — rebuild-preview and do-back became body expressions instead
of bindings, making them undefined in scope.
2. Lines 241-308 were outside the let/letrec scope entirely — the outer
let closed at line 240, so freeze-scope, cookie restore, source
parsing, and the entire div rendering tree had no access to signals
or letrec functions.
Also hardens defisland to wrap multi-expression bodies in (begin ...),
matching the Python-side fix from 9f0c541. Both spec/evaluator.sx and
the OCaml transpiled sx_ref.ml are updated.
Adds SX Tools essay under Applications — the revised plan for structural
tree reading/editing tools for .sx files, motivated by this exact bug.

JIT allowlist (sx_server.ml):
- Replace try-every-lambda strategy with StringSet allowlist. Only
functions in the list get JIT compiled (compiler, parser, pure transforms).
Render functions that need dynamic scope skip JIT entirely — no retry
overhead, no silent fallbacks.
- Add (jit-allow name) command for dynamic expansion from Python bridge.
- JIT failures log once with "[jit] DISABLED fn — reason" then go silent.
Standalone --test mode (sx_server.ml):
- New --test flag loads full env (spec + adapters + compiler + signals),
supports --eval and --load flags. Quick kernel testing without Docker.
Example: dune exec bin/sx_server.exe -- --test --eval '(len HTML_TAGS)'
Integration tests (integration_tests.ml):
- New binary exercising the full rendering pipeline: loads spec + adapters
into a server-like env, renders HTML via both native and SX adapter paths.
- 26 tests: HTML tags, special forms (when/if/let), letrec with side
effects, component rendering, eval-expr with HTML tag functions.
- Would have caught the "Undefined symbol: div/lake/init" issues from
the previous commit immediately without Docker.
VM cleanup (sx_vm.ml):
- Remove temporary debug logging (insn counter, call_closure counter,
VmClosure depth tracking) added during debugging.

Root cause: sf-letrec returns a thunk (for TCO) but the CEK dispatch
wrapped it as a value without evaluating. The thunk leaked as the
return value of letrec expressions, breaking sx-parse and any function
using letrec.
Fix: step-sf-letrec unwraps the thunk into a CEK state, so the last
letrec body expression is properly evaluated by the CEK machine.
Also:
- compile-letrec: two-phase (nil-init then assign) for mutual recursion
- Skip JIT for inner functions (closure.bindings != globals) in both
vm_call and JIT hook
- vm-reset-fn for sx-parse removed (no longer needed)
- Parser regression test: letrec with mutable pos + recursive sublists
Test results: JS 943/17, OCaml 955/0, Python 747/0

Replace continuation-based scope frames with hashtable stacks for all
scope operations. The CEK evaluator's scope/provide/context/emit!/emitted
now use scope-push!/pop!/peek/emit! primitives (registered in
sx_primitives table) instead of walking continuation frames.
This eliminates the two-world problem where the aser used hashtable
stacks (scope-push!/pop!) but eval-expr used continuation frames
(ScopeFrame/ScopeAccFrame). Now both paths share the same mechanism.
Benefits:
- scope/context works inside eval-expr calls (e.g. (str ... (context x)))
- O(1) scope lookup vs O(n) continuation walking
- Simpler — no ScopeFrame/ScopeAccFrame/ProvideFrame creation/dispatch
- VM-compiled code and CEK code both see the same scope state
Also registers scope-push!/pop!/peek/emit!/collect!/collected/
clear-collected! as real primitives (sx_primitives table) so the
transpiled evaluator can call them directly.

- get primitive returns nil for type mismatches (list+string) instead
of raising — matches JS/Python behavior, fixes find-nav-match errors
- scope-peek, collect!, collected, clear-collected! registered as real
primitives in sx_primitives table (not just env bindings) so the CEK
step-sf-context can find them via get-primitive
- step-sf-context checks scope-peek hashtable BEFORE walking CEK
continuation — bridges aser's scope-push!/pop! with CEK's context
- context, emit!, emitted added to SPECIAL_FORM_NAMES and handled in
aser-special (scope operations in aser rendering mode)
- sx-context NativeFn for VM-compiled code paths
- VM execution errors no longer mark functions as permanently failed —
bytecode is correct, errors are from runtime data
- kbd, samp, var added to HTML_TAGS + sx-browser.js rebuilt

Compiler fixes:
- Upvalue re-lookup returns own position (uv-index), not parent slot
- Spec: cek-call uses (make-env) not (dict) — OCaml Dict≠Env
- Bootstrap post-processes transpiler Dict→Env for cek_call
VM runtime fixes:
- compile_adapter evaluates constant defines (SPECIAL_FORM_NAMES etc.)
via execute_module instead of wrapping as NativeFn closures
- Native primitives: map-indexed, some, every?
- Nil-safe HO forms: map/filter/for-each/some/every? accept nil as empty
- expand-components? set in kernel env (not just VM globals)
- unwrap_env diagnostic: reports actual type received
sx-page-full command:
- Single OCaml call: aser-slot body + render-to-html shell
- Eliminates two pipe round-trips (was: aser-slot→Python→shell render)
- Shell statics (component_defs, CSS, pages_sx) cached in Python,
injected into kernel once, referenced by symbol in per-request command
- Large blobs use placeholder tokens — Python splices post-render,
pipe transfers ~51KB instead of 2MB
Performance (warm):
- Server total: 0.55s (was ~2s)
- aser-slot VM: 0.3s, shell render: 0.01s, pipe: 0.06s
- kwargs computation: 0.000s (cached)
SX_STANDALONE mode for sx_docs dev (skips fragment fetches).

adapter-sx.sx: aser-expand-component expands :affinity :server components
inline during SX wire format serialization. Binds keyword args via
eval-expr, children via aser (handles HTML tags), then asers the body.
ocaml_bridge.py: 10MB readline buffer for large spec responses.
nav-data.sx: evaluator.sx filename fix.
Page rendering stays on Python _eval_slot for now — full OCaml rendering
needs the page shell IO (headers, CSRF, CSS) migrated to OCaml IO bridge.

Three changes that together enable the full 46-function stdlib migration:
1. CEK callable unification (spec/evaluator.sx):
cek-call now routes both native callables and SX lambdas through
continue-with-call, so replacing a native function with an SX lambda
doesn't change shift/reset behavior.
2. Named-let transpiler support (hosts/javascript/transpiler.sx):
(let loop ((i 0)) body...) now transpiles to a named IIFE:
(function loop(i) { body })(0)
This was the cause of the 3 test regressions (produced [object Object]).
3. Full stdlib via runtime eval (hosts/javascript/bootstrap.py):
stdlib.sx is eval'd at runtime (not transpiled) so its defines go
into PRIMITIVES without shadowing module-scope variables that the
transpiled evaluator uses directly.
stdlib.sx now contains all 46 library functions:
Logic: not
Comparison: != <= >= eq? eqv? equal?
Predicates: boolean? number? string? list? dict? continuation?
zero? odd? even? empty?
Arithmetic: inc dec abs ceil round min max clamp
Collections: first last rest nth cons append reverse flatten
range chunk-every zip-pairs
Dict: vals has-key? assoc dissoc into
Strings: upcase downcase string-length substring string-contains?
starts-with? ends-with? split join replace contains?
Text: pluralize escape parse-datetime assert
All hosts: JS 957+1080, Python 744, OCaml 952 — zero regressions.

Evaluator: data-first higher-order forms — ho-swap-args auto-detects
(map coll fn) vs (map fn coll), both work. Threading + HO: (-> data
(map fn)) dispatches through CEK HO machinery via quoted-value splice.
17 new tests in test-cek-advanced.sx.
Fix plan pages: add mother-language, isolated-evaluator, rust-wasm-host
to page-functions.sx plan() — were in defpage but missing from URL router.
Aser error handling: pages.py now catches EvalError separately, renders
visible error banner instead of silently sending empty content. All
except blocks include traceback in logs.
Scope primitives: register collect!/collected/clear-collected!/emitted/
emit!/context in shared/sx/primitives.py so hand-written _aser can
resolve them (fixes ~cssx/flush expansion failure).
New test file: shared/sx/tests/test_aser_errors.py — 19 pytest tests
for error propagation through all aser control flow forms.

The eval-expr forward declaration was an error-throwing stub that
the CEK fixup was supposed to override. If anything prevented the
fixup from running (or if eval-expr was captured by value before
the fixup), the stub would throw "CEK fixup not loaded".
Fix: define eval-expr and trampoline as real CEK wrappers at the
end of evaluator.sx (after cek-run is defined). The forward
declaration is now a harmless nil-returning stub. The fixup still
overrides with the iterative version, but even without it, eval
works correctly.

provide/context and scope/emit!/emitted now use CEK continuation
frames instead of an imperative global stack. Scope state is part
of the continuation — captured by shift, restored by k invocation.
New frame types:
- ProvideFrame: holds name + value, consumed when body completes
- ScopeAccFrame: holds name + mutable emitted list
New CEK special forms:
- context: walks kont for nearest ProvideFrame, returns value
- emit!: walks kont for nearest ScopeAccFrame, appends to emitted
- emitted: walks kont for nearest ScopeAccFrame, returns list
Kont walkers: kont-find-provide, kont-find-scope-acc
This fixes the last 2 test failures:
- provide survives resume: scope captured by shift, restored by k
- scope and emit across shift: accumulator preserved in continuation

Continuations are now multi-shot — k can be invoked multiple times.
Each invocation runs the captured frames via nested cek-run and
returns the result to the caller's continuation.
Fix: continue-with-call runs ONLY the captured delimited frames
(not rest-kont), so the continuation terminates and returns rather
than escaping to the outer program.
Fixed 4 continuation tests:
- shift with multiple invokes: (list (k 10) (k 20)) → (11 21)
- k returned from reset: continuation callable after escaping
- invoke k multiple times: same k reusable
- k in data structure: store in list, retrieve, invoke
Remaining 2 failures: scope/provide across shift boundaries.
These need scope state tracked in frames (not imperative push/pop).

Higher-order forms (map, filter, reduce, some, every?, for-each,
map-indexed) now evaluate their arguments via CEK frames instead
of nested trampoline(eval-expr(...)) calls.
Added HoSetupFrame — staged evaluation of HO form arguments.
When all args are evaluated, ho-setup-dispatch sets up the
iteration frame. This keeps a single linear CEK continuation
chain instead of spawning nested CEK instances.
14 nested eval-expr calls eliminated (39 → 25 remaining).
The remaining 25 are in delegate functions (sf-letrec, sf-scope,
parse-keyword-args, qq-expand, etc.) called infrequently.

The core spec is now one file: spec/evaluator.sx (2275 lines).
Three parts:
Part 1: CEK frames — state and continuation frame constructors
Part 2: Evaluation utilities — call, parse, define, macro, strict
Part 3: CEK machine — the sole evaluator
Deleted:
- spec/eval.sx (merged into evaluator.sx)
- spec/frames.sx (merged into evaluator.sx)
- spec/cek.sx (merged into evaluator.sx)
- spec/continuations.sx (dead — CEK handles shift/reset natively)
Updated bootstrappers (JS + Python) to load evaluator.sx as core.
Removed frames/cek from SPEC_MODULES (now part of core).
Bundle size: 392KB → 377KB standard, 418KB → 403KB full.
