lib/host/behavior.sx — the substrate-independent seam every runner/transport/registry/driver
plugs into. An engine bundles four dict-of-functions adapters (trigger-registry, runner,
transport, driver); behavior/process folds an ACTIVITY through the pipeline: emit → match
triggers → run each behavior DAG → dispatch each effect-as-data → recurse on new activities
(loop closure, depth-guarded at 8). Every stage injected, so the same DAG + engine run over the
synchronous op-table runner / Erlang durable / celery-sx / fed-sx transport unchanged.
Reference tests (mock adapters) prove the contract: publish→trigger→runner→effect flows; a
non-matching activity fires nothing (log complete, execution precise); an effect that emits a new
activity re-triggers (loop closes); an unbounded loop is depth-guarded (terminates). Wired into
conformance.sh + serve.sh MODULES. behavior 4/4; full host conformance 575/575.
Next: P0 supplies the REAL adapters (publish activity ← host/blog--publish-activity, local-SX
trigger, sync op-table runner over a publish-DAG, host driver) — same engine.

celery-sx = one more runner on artdag/op-table-runner, not a Celery port: broker=persist KV,
workers=er-scheduler, result backend=content-addressed (dedup free), retries/replay=flow-on-
erlang, fan-out=artdag/schedule. ~few hundred lines of glue, zero packages, 'Celery the way it
should have been' on erlang-on-sx. DEMAND-DRIVEN (RX) — build when a DAG needs heavy compute /
long-running-retryable / cross-machine fan-out; the synchronous op-table runner covers P0.

Reframe after the user's insight, confirmed in code: artdag-on-sx already IS the substrate-
independent behavior engine — artdag/run injects the RUNNER (execution adapter: SX op-table /
Erlang / Celery), federation.sx injects the TRANSPORT (communication adapter: fed-sx / HTTP /
IPFS). Business logic = a content-addressed DAG; durability is a RUNNER capability (same DAG runs
eager or durable); deployment (subdomain service / peer / L1 worker) is placement. fed-sx+Erlang
is ONE adapter set, not the architecture. The type carries content-grammar + allowed-relations +
a behavior DAG. The prior fed-sx/Erlang framing is kept as one concrete first slice.

Three framing fixes after review: (1) the event source is object-level state changes, NOT just
CID deltas — relations write edge:* rows so they don't shift the CID; content/status → Create/
Update, relations → Add/Remove (ActivityPub-faithful). (2) verbs are TRANSITIONS (on-publish =
draft→published, fire-once, not every delta of a published post). (3) the hybrid flow split is by
DURABILITY not complexity — the execute-fold is eager/synchronous (no wait); suspend/timer/human
flows are the Erlang escape hatch. Plus: effects-as-data need a DRIVER (host, for P0); P0.2 must
gate on the transition + run in the handler body (VmSuspended/er-scheduler risk); P0.3 gets an
acceptance criterion; P3 flags the fed-sx delivery M2 blocker + the deferred actor model.

Business logic as federated composition-flows (plans/business-logic-fed-flows.md). P0.1: the
host describes a published post as a fed-sx activity — host/blog--publish-activity(slug) →
{:type "create" :actor "site" :id <CID> :object {:type "article" :slug :category}} — the
exact shape next/'s trigger machinery consumes (verified: next/tests/triggers_e2e.sh 10/10).
category (drives the flow branch: newsletter suspends / urgent fires / else skip) comes from
the "category" field-value, else the first tag, else "urgent". + host/blog--post-category.
Design decided: activity log = every CID delta (event source); triggers = declared subscriptions
(DefineTrigger); flows hybrid (SX composition for simple via the execute-fold, named Erlang flows
for complex); federated execution = Erlang (next/); the type carries content+relations+behavior.

loops/host's 3 post-split otel commits (route-order fix, JIT self-warm, auto-refresh
dashboard) were INDEPENDENTLY superseded by architecture's parallel otel work, which has
better implementations of each: the /:slug route fix, a /dev/tcp detached self-warm (vs
loops/host's make-app warmup in the wrong JIT context), and a richer SPA-poll dashboard
(p50/p95/p99 chart + waterfall + tooltips + child spans) vs a meta-refresh. Taking loops/host's
versions would regress the live dashboard, so -s ours keeps architecture's tree and just joins
the history to close the branch.
The deployed sx_browser.bc.wasm.js referenced content-hashed .wasm binaries that
weren't on disk (partial build), so the kernel 404'd and the SPA died site-wide.
Rebuilt via sx_build target=wasm and committed the matching artifacts so a git
checkout can't re-introduce the mismatch. (Staged only shared/static/wasm/;
other worktree changes left untouched.)
Dashboard gains a per-route latency bar chart (nested p50/p95/p99 bars, tail
visible) + status-colored waterfall with ms duration labels + a real 3s
auto-refresh (replacing the non-functional data-on-load SSE attr). serve.sh
self-warms the serving JIT over /dev/tcp so the first visitor after a restart
gets ~78ms not the one-time ~2.5s compile. otel suite 125/125.
Dashboard: drop the non-functional data-on-load SSE attr; add <meta refresh 3s>
so it genuinely live-updates (the host serves single-body responses, no
server-push SSE). /otel/stream stays a snapshot for pollers.
serve.sh: replace the ineffective boot-time make-app warmup (wrong JIT context)
with a backgrounded self-warmer that GETs the hot pages over real HTTP (bash
/dev/tcp — no curl in the image) once /health is up, so the first real visitor
after a restart gets ~78ms instead of the one-time ~2.5s serving-JIT compile.
The blog render path (comp-fold + relations + typed-block) JIT-compiles on first
call, so the first visitor after a restart paid ~2.5s (vs ~78ms warm) — that was
the /:slug p99 tail. Define the route groups once, render / + welcome +
nt-live-encore + /otel through a throwaway app at boot to force compilation, then
reset the otel ring so warmup spans don't skew live metrics.
The blog post-detail route /:slug matches any single segment, so /otel was
being served as a missing blog slug (404). Order otel/routes ahead of the blog
routes so the literal /otel + /otel/stream match first.
The otel dashboard route (GET /otel) is single-segment, so blog-routes' /:slug catch-all
shadowed it (404 'no post: otel'); only /otel/stream (two segments) survived. Move otel/routes
ahead of the blog routes. Live-only wiring fix (route order); no test change.

Adds lib/host/otel.sx to serve.sh MODULES and otel/routes to the host/serve
group list so GET /otel (+ /otel/stream) serve on the live host once merged.
Build-time wiring only; no container touched.
otel/format-traceparent + otel/current-traceparent emit '00-<32hex>-<16hex>-01';
otel/parse-traceparent round-trips it (nil on malformed/bad-width). otel/-timed
now guards the thunk: success spans get :status ok, a raised error records a
span with :status error + an exception event then propagates. Error propagation
uses a false-returning guard clause test (an explicit (raise e) in a guard
handler re-enters the guard and hangs).
otel/export-otlp folds spans → OTLP/JSON envelope (resourceSpans → scopeSpans →
spans) with hex traceId(32)/spanId(16)/parentSpanId, uint64-as-string nano
timestamps, typed attributes (stringValue/intValue), and span kind
(SERVER/INTERNAL). otel/export-otlp-json encodes via dream-json-encode;
otel/post-otlp POSTs through an injected transport (testable without a live
collector).
otel/dashboard SSRs the metrics strip + latest-trace waterfall + recent-traces
list as HTML carrying Datastar-style data-on-load subscribing to /otel/stream,
the SSE feed of SXTP otel.span events. Routes otel/dashboard-route +
otel/stream-route (otel/routes) mount via make-app. recent-traces/latest-trace
+ otel/span-event helpers.
otel/metrics folds spans → {:total-requests :routes}; each route carries a
request count and nearest-rank latency percentiles over its durations. Route
key is the http.route attr (falls back to span name). Includes a small
insertion sort (no sort primitive) and order-preserving distinct.
otel/waterfall-rects folds a trace's spans into rect geometry (x by start
offset, width by duration, y by depth via parent-link ancestor count);
otel/waterfall folds those into an inline <svg> (one <rect>+<text> per span).
Renders to real SVG markup via the html tag registry.
otel/instrument-routes wraps each flattened Dream route's handler in a timed
span named METHOD /route with {:http.method :http.route :http.status} attrs;
host/make-app applies it so every matched request becomes a trace. Refactored
with-span onto a shared otel/-timed core that takes a finalize fn for
result-derived attrs (the http.status only known post-handler).
Clamp against a high-water mark so the clock never steps backwards; span
durations stay non-negative. Real ns-scale timestamps replace the P1
placeholder counter.
host/blog-seed-nt-live-encore! now embeds the RAW Ghost HTML (from rose-ash.com/rss) and
imports via the "html" field, so host/html->sx converts it at boot — no more pre-converted
sx_content from the external Python script. Verified: the converter produces the identical 11
cards (card-image/text ×4 pairs + 3 card-embed), handling the real post's kg-card comments,
srcset, and nested figcaption markup. blog 197/197.

lib/host/htmlsx.sx — a pure-SX HTML → SX converter (char-level tokenizer + stack parser):
host/html->sx turns a post's HTML into an (article …) tree that host/blog--decompose! consumes
— img / p / figure+figcaption / iframe / headings / blockquote / lists, inline strong/em/a kept
nested (decompose flattens to text), entities decoded to UTF-8, comments+doctype skipped. This
replaces the one-off external Python converter used for the nt-live-encore import.
import-post! now accepts a raw "html" field (converted via html->sx, serialized to sx_content,
decomposed) alongside "sx_content" — so importing real Ghost HTML is first-class. Wired
htmlsx.sx into conformance.sh + serve.sh module lists (loads in conformance AND live).
New htmlsx suite 8/8 (text/entities/void/nested/figure/iframe/comments + an html→sx→decompose→
typed-cards round-trip); blog 197/197 (+ import-from-html test).

host/blog-seed-landing-demo! (+ host/blog--seed-card! fixed-slug helper): a Landing TYPE with
TWO composition fields — :body (heading/text/image + cond/each) and :aside (text/callout, no
controls) — plus a populated landing-demo instance, wired into serve.sh (survives wipes),
idempotent (fixed card slugs, set-comp! overwrites). /landing-demo/ renders both fields; its
edit page shows two independent block editors (#comp-body, #comp-aside); /landing/ reads the
two-field definition. Demonstrates layer 2 end to end on the live site.
blog 196/196 (+ tests: idempotent 2-field seed, both fields render).

Every type post reads as schema + extension. Added host/blog--type-population (host/blog--take
helper): a type's page shows its instances (posts is-a it, first 24 + count) and its subtypes
(is-a / subtype-of inverses), next to the read-only type definition. Injected in host/blog-post
when host/blog--is-type?. So /article/ shows what an article IS *and* which posts are articles;
/card/ shows its subtypes; every card type / tag / type reads its own definition (all are
is-type?).
blog 194/194 (+ tests: population lists instances + count, a parent type lists subtypes, GET
/article/ shows Population).

A type post's public page (/article/) now shows a read-only Type-definition panel: its fields,
each Composition field's block grammar ("may contain: heading, text, image, …; control blocks:
cond, each"), and the relations its instances may use — so anyone can read what a type IS, not
just admins on the edit page. host/blog--type-def-view (the read form of host/blog--type-def-
editor's data); injected in host/blog-post after the body when host/blog--is-type?.
blog 191/191, full conformance 420/420 (+ tests: the view renders fields/grammar/relations;
GET /article/ shows it, an instance's page doesn't).

related / is-a / subtype-of / tagged are part of an object's composition (external — NOT in the
CID), and the TYPE declares which relation kinds its instances may use (:type-relations; absent
-> all kinds, so metamodel types keep full freedom). host/blog--{all-rel-kinds, type-relations,
set-type-relations!, allowed-relations, relation-allowed?}. The relation editors filter to the
permitted kinds; relate-submit ENFORCES it. article declares (related is-a tagged) — an article
instance can't be subtyped. The type-def editor (Part C) gains a relation CHECKLIST + POST
/<type>/relations, so the type's inline block-grammar AND external relations are edited in one
place: "it's just more composition."
blog 189/189 (+ Part B tests: allowed-relations excludes subtype-of for article, editors filter,
relate rejects a forbidden kind, checklist renders, POST /relations sets it). Full conformance
deferred — the sibling OTel loop is contending on the shared warm-conf dir; Part B touches only
blog.sx, so the other 7 suites are unaffected. Verifying live instead.

"It's just more composition": a type post's edit page now shows a Type-definition editor —
each field as name:type, and each Composition field with a GRAMMAR CHECKLIST (a checkbox per
card kind = permitted, + conditional/repeater toggles). Editing it changes what the type's
instances may contain. host/blog--{is-type?, set-field-grammar!, own-field, checkbox,
grammar-form, type-def-editor}; POST /<type>/grammar reads the checklist (uniquely-named
blk-<ct> / allow-<ctrl> boxes, since form fields are single-value) → set-field-grammar!.
Shown only when host/blog--is-type? (declares fields, or subtype-of type) — a type's page has
it, an instance's doesn't.
blog 184/184, full conformance 413/413 (+ Part C tests: is-type?, set-field-grammar!, the
checklist renders, POST /grammar sets it, appears on a type page not an instance's).
