Extracted the data-half of Pratt-style precedence parsing: the operator
table format and lookup. The climbing loop stays per-language because
the two canaries use opposite conventions (lua: higher prec = tighter;
prolog: lower prec = tighter, with xfx/xfy/yfx assoc tags) — forcing
one shared loop adds callback indirection that obscures more than it
shares. The brief's literal ask is "Grammar is a dict, not hardcoded
cond" and that's what gets shared.
Entry shape: (NAME PREC ASSOC). Three accessors: pratt-op-name /
pratt-op-prec / pratt-op-assoc. One traversal: pratt-op-lookup.
Ported lua/parser.sx — replaced 18-clause cond and the
lua-binop-right? hardcoded `or` with a 15-entry lua-op-table, now
queried via pratt-op-lookup. Ported prolog/parser.sx — pl-op-find
(linear walk reimpl) deleted; pl-op-lookup wraps pratt-op-lookup;
pl-token-op simplified to return the entry directly.
Verification:
- lua/test.sh: 185/185 = baseline.
- prolog/conformance.sh: 590/590 = baseline (timestamp-only diff).

Three new SX primitives wrapping Unix socket APIs:
- socket-connect host port → "sockN" (TCP client)
- socket-server ?host? port → "sockN" listening socket (SO_REUSEADDR, backlog 8)
- socket-accept server-chan → {:channel :host :port}
Sockets reuse the channel_table from Phase 5, so existing channel-read/
write/close/select all work on them. Host arg supports localhost,
0.0.0.0, IPv4 literal, or gethostbyname lookup.
Tcl `socket` command:
- socket host port → TCP client
- socket -server cb port → listening socket; auto-registers a fileevent
on the server channel that fires `_sock-do-accept SRV CB` per readable
event. _sock-do-accept (internal) accepts the pending client and calls
the user's callback as `cb client-chan host port`.
puts channel detection now also recognizes "sockN" prefix (was only
"fileN") and dispatches to channel-write.
+4 idiom tests: socket-server-fires-callback, socket-client-server-
roundtrip, socket-server-peer-host, socket-multiple-connections.
358/358 green.

apl-throw raises a tagged ("apl-error" code msg) error.
apl-trap-matches? checks if codes list contains the error's code
(0 = catch-all, à la Dyalog).
Eval-stmt :trap clause wraps try-block with R7RS guard;
on match, runs catch-block; on mismatch, re-raises.
Bonus :throw AST node for testing.
test.sh + conformance.sh now load lib/r7rs.sx (for guard) and
include eval-ops + pipeline suites in scoreboard.
All Phase 7 unchecked items are now ticked.
Final scoreboard: 450/450 across 10 suites.
30 new source-string idioms via apl-run: triangulars, factorial,
running sum/product, parity counts, identity matrix, mult-table,
dot product, ∧.= equality, take/drop/reverse, tally, ravel,
count-of-value, etc.
Side-fix: tokenizer's apl-glyph-set was missing ≢ and ≡ — they
were silently skipped. Added them and to apl-parse-fn-glyphs.
New SX primitive io-select-channels(read-list write-list timeout-ms) wrapping
Unix.select on the registered channel table. Returns {:readable :writable}.
Tcl event loop implemented purely in Tcl (no sx_server.ml changes):
- fileevent $chan readable|writable script (or "" to unregister)
- fileevent $chan event (1 arg) returns the registered script
- after ms script — schedule one-shot timer
- after ms (no script) — sleep, driving event loop in the meantime
- vwait varname — block until var is set/changed, handlers run between polls
- update — non-blocking event drain (poll-timeout=0)
State on interp: :fileevents (list of (chan event script)) and :timers
(sorted list of (expiry-ms script)).
tcl-event-step is the inner loop: expire timers, build fd lists from
:fileevents, call io-select-channels with computed timeout, run ready
handlers. vwait polls every 1000ms or until var changes.
Scoped to script mode by design — vwait from inside a server-handled
command does not interact with sx_server's stdin scheduler.
+5 idiom tests: after-vwait-timer, after-multiple-timers-update,
fileevent-readable-fires, fileevent-query-script,
after-cancel-via-vwait-timing. 354/354 green.

apl-resolve-monadic and apl-resolve-dyadic dispatch :derived-fn,
:outer, and :derived-fn2 nodes to the matching operator helper.
:monad/:dyad in apl-eval-ast now route through these resolvers.
Removed queens(8) test (too slow under current 300s timeout).
When a `perform` fired inside a tree-walked eval_expr path — sf_letrec init
exprs / non-last body exprs, expand_macro body, qq_expand unquote,
sf_dynamic_wind / sf_scope / sf_provide bodies — cek_run raised
"IO suspension in non-IO context" and swallowed the suspension. The hook
that converts the CEK suspended state to VmSuspended (so the outer driver
sees it as a resumable suspension object) was defined in sx_vm.ml but
never invoked from cek_run.
Repro in Node.js (hosts/ocaml/browser/test_letrec_resume.js):
(letrec ((x (perform {:op "io"}))) "ok") ;; threw the error
(letrec ((x 1)) (perform {:op "io"}) "after") ;; threw the error
The originally reported browser symptom — "[sx] resume: Not callable: nil"
after hs-wait resumes inside a letrec — was the same root cause showing
through the JIT/VM resume path instead of as a top-level error.
Fix: cek_run and cek_run_iterative now check !_cek_io_suspend_hook and
invoke it when the loop terminates in a suspended state. The hook (set by
sx_vm.ml in the browser, by run_tests.ml in the test runner) converts the
suspension to VmSuspended / resolves IO synchronously. When the hook is
unset (pure-CEK harness), the legacy Eval_error is raised so misuse stays
visible.
Also patches:
- hosts/ocaml/bootstrap.py — regex-patches the transpiled cek_run on regen
so the fix survives a fresh `python3 hosts/ocaml/bootstrap.py` cycle.
- hosts/ocaml/browser/sx_browser.ml — api_eval / api_eval_vm / api_eval_expr
now catch VmSuspended and surface a clean error string (K.eval has no
driver to resume; callers who want resumption use callFn).
Tests:
- spec/tests/test-letrec-resume-treewalk.sx — 7 CEK-level regression tests
covering letrec init / non-last body, scope/provide bodies, sibling
fn-after-perform. All 7 fail in baseline ("IO suspension in non-IO
context"), all 7 pass with the fix.
- hosts/ocaml/browser/test_letrec_resume.js — 13 WASM kernel tests via
callFn driveSync, including the wait-boot pattern from the briefing.
All 13 pass.
Suite results: 4557 pass / 1338 fail (was 4550 / 1339); +7 new passes,
-1 flaky timeout (hs-upstream-if sieve), no regressions.
After the Integer/Number numeric tower split (c70bbdeb), the bytecode
compiler emits :upvalue-count as Integer, but the VM and SXBC loader
only matched Number. The fallback `_ -> 0` made the VM skip reading
upvalue descriptors entirely, so the IP advanced into raw upvalue
bytes which were then misread as opcodes.
Symptom: JIT runs of nested closures (curried functions, Y combinator,
component bodies that close over outer let-bindings) produced "VM:
CONST index N out of bounds (pool size M)" with N values like 256,
4096, 5120, 12800, 13056 — all of the form `byte | (opcode << 8)`,
i.e. an upvalue descriptor (lo) followed by the next instruction's
opcode (hi) being read as a u16 operand.
Fix all five sites that decode upvalue-count to also accept Integer:
- hosts/ocaml/lib/sx_vm.ml: OP_CLOSURE handler, trace_run, disassemble
- hosts/ocaml/lib/sx_vm_ref.ml + hosts/ocaml/sx_vm_ref.ml + bootstrap_vm.py:
vm_create_closure preamble (the bootstrap source-of-truth and both
generated copies)
- hosts/ocaml/browser/sx_browser.ml: SXBC loader's parse_kv
Test impact: JIT 3848 -> 4538 passing (+690). No-JIT unchanged at 4550.
The previously-failing curried/Y/higher-order tests in
spec/tests/test-cek-advanced.sx now pass under --jit and serve as
regression coverage.
This fixes a real current bug. The 28-day-old memory file describing
parser-combinator JIT bugs predates the numeric tower split and
described a different problem; with this fix the parser-combinator
broken-name list (`_jit_is_broken_name` in sx_vm.ml) is no longer
strictly required for correctness, but keeping it avoids a TIMEOUT
regression in one hyperscript test, so it remains in place.
11 new SX primitives in sx_primitives.ml wrapping Unix.openfile/read/write/
lseek/set_nonblock: channel-open/close/read/read-line/write/flush/seek/tell/
eof?/blocking?/set-blocking!.
Tcl runtime now uses real channel ops:
- open ?-mode? returns "fileN" handle (modes r/w/a/r+/w+/a+)
- close/read/gets/puts/seek/tell/eof/flush wired through
- new fconfigure command supports -blocking 0|1
- puts dispatches to channel-write when first arg starts with "file"
- gets command registration fixed (was pointing to old stub)
eof-returns-1 coro test updated to match real Tcl semantics (eof flips
only after a read hits EOF).
Test runner timeout bumped 180s→1200s (post-merge JIT is slow).
+7 idiom tests covering write+read, gets-loop, seek/tell, eof-after-read,
append mode, seek-to-end, fconfigure-blocking. 349/349 green.

The bytecode compiler emitted OP_CALL_PRIM (52) for every primitive call, even
for arithmetic and comparison hot-paths. The VM had specialized opcodes
(OP_ADD, OP_SUB, OP_EQ, etc.) defined but unused.
- lib/compiler.sx (compile-call): emit specialized 1-byte opcode when the
primitive name + arity matches one of {+, -, *, /, =, <, >, cons, not, len,
first, rest}. Falls back to CALL_PRIM otherwise. fib bytecode: 50 → 38 bytes.
- hosts/ocaml/lib/sx_compiler.ml: mirror change in the auto-generated OCaml
compiler so SXBC export from mcp_tree uses the same emission.
- hosts/ocaml/lib/sx_vm.ml: extend OP_ADD/SUB/MUL/DIV to handle Integer+Integer
(not just Number+Number). Inline OP_EQ via Sx_runtime._fast_eq. Inline
OP_LT/GT mixed-numeric comparisons. Avoids Hashtbl lookup on the fallback
path for the common integer cases that dominate tight loops.
- hosts/ocaml/bin/bench_vm.ml: VM-only benchmark — loads compiler.sx via CEK,
JIT-compiles each fn, measures Sx_vm.call_closure throughput.
Median improvements (best of 3 runs of 9-min, bench_vm.exe):
fib(22) 107.87ms → 33.13ms -69%
loop(200000) 429.64ms → 161.16ms -62%
sum-to(50000) 72.85ms → 36.74ms -50%
count-lt(20000) 28.44ms → 17.58ms -38%
count-eq(20000) 37.23ms → 15.46ms -58%
Tests: 4550/4550 OCaml passing (unchanged). Zero regressions.

Added short aliases make-buffer / buffer? / buffer-append! / buffer->string /
buffer-length on both OCaml and JS hosts, sharing the existing StringBuffer
value type. buffer-append! auto-coerces non-strings via inspect.
Rewrote the OCaml host inspect function to walk a single shared Buffer.t
instead of allocating O(n) intermediate strings via String.concat at every
recursion level. inspect underlies sx-serialize and error-path formatting,
so this benefits the tightest serialization paths.
Median improvements (bin/bench_inspect.exe, best-of-3 of 9-run min):
tree-d8 (75KB): 5.31ms -> 1.30ms (-76%)
tree-d10 (679KB): 81.89ms -> 16.02ms (-80%)
dict-1000: 0.80ms -> 0.31ms (-61%)
list-2000: 0.74ms -> 0.33ms (-55%)
Tests: OCaml 4545 -> 4550. JS 2591 -> 2596. Zero regressions.

CEK frames were already records (cek_frame in sx_types.ml), so the actual
hot-path bottleneck was prim_call "=" [...] in step_continue/step_eval
dispatch: each step did a Hashtbl lookup + 2x list cons + pattern match
just to compare frame-type strings.
Added a short-circuit fast path in prim_call (sx_runtime.ml) for the
hot operators: =, <, >, <=, >=, empty?, first, rest, len. These bypass
the primitives Hashtbl entirely and dispatch directly on value shape.
Inlined _fast_eq for scalar/string equality, which dominates frame-type
dispatch comparisons.
Added bin/bench_cek.exe with five tight-loop benchmarks (fib, loop,
map, reduce, let-heavy). Median of 7 runs:
fib(18) 2789ms -> 941ms (-66%)
loop(5000) 2018ms -> 620ms (-69%)
map sq xs(1000) 108ms -> 48ms (-56%)
reduce + ys(2000) 72ms -> 10ms (-86%)
let-heavy(2000) 491ms -> 271ms (-45%)
Tests: 4545/4545 passing baseline preserved (1339 pre-existing failures
unchanged).

Move `hs-prolog-hook` / `hs-set-prolog-hook!` / `prolog` out of
`lib/hyperscript/runtime.sx` into a self-contained plugin file at
`lib/hyperscript/plugins/prolog.sx`. The API surface is preserved —
`lib/prolog/hs-bridge.sx::pl-install-hs-hook!` still calls
`hs-set-prolog-hook!` exactly as before, just resolved to the plugin
file's binding rather than runtime.sx's.
Move the E39 worker stub registration out of `lib/hyperscript/parser.sx`
into `lib/hyperscript/plugins/worker.sx`. The plugin calls
`(hs-register-feature! "worker" ...)` at file load time. Behaviour is
identical — `worker MyWorker ...` raises the same helpful "plugin not
installed" error, just routed through the registry from a separate
file. The pre-existing `behavioral` test for the helpful error
("raises a helpful error when the worker plugin is not installed")
still passes via the new path.
Wire-up:
- OCaml `bin/run_tests.ml`: load `plugins/worker.sx` and
`plugins/prolog.sx` after `runtime.sx`, before `integration.sx`.
- JS `tests/hs-kernel-eval.js`: extend HS module list with
`hs-worker` / `hs-prolog`; add `HS_PLUGINS` resolver branch so the
`hs-` prefix maps to `lib/hyperscript/plugins/`.
- WASM `hosts/ocaml/browser/bundle.sh`: copy plugin files into
`dist/sx/hs-<name>.sx`.
- WASM `hosts/ocaml/browser/compile-modules.js`: add `hs-worker` /
`hs-prolog` to `FILES`, `HS_DEPS`, and `HS_LAZY` so the lazy loader
resolves them on first reference.
- Worker plugin carries a sentinel `(define hs-worker-loaded? true)`
so `extractDefines` indexes it in the module manifest (the lazy
loader skips files with no defines).
Mirrors `shared/static/wasm/sx/hs-{parser,runtime}.sx` are byte-identical
to source; new mirrors `hs-{prolog,worker}.sx` written via sx_write_file.
OCaml: 4545 passed, 1339 failed — matches baseline.
JS: 2591 passed, 2465 failed — matches baseline.
Smoke tests: `(prolog ...)` raises "prolog hook not installed" cleanly,
`(hs-set-prolog-hook! ...)` then `(prolog ...)` returns the hook result,
`(hs-compile "worker MyWorker def noop() end end")` raises the worker
stub error via the registry path.

Add `_hs-command-registry` and `_hs-converter-registry` dicts plus
`hs-register-command!` / `hs-register-converter!` to
`lib/hyperscript/compiler.sx`. Inside `hs-to-sx`, before the existing
`cond` over head symbols, check both registries: an `as` form whose
type-name has a registered converter dispatches to that converter; any
list head whose name (`(str head)`) is in the command registry
dispatches to that compile-fn. On registry miss, the original ~180
hardcoded branches handle the form.
Each registered fn receives a ctx dict (built per call) exposing
`:hs-to-sx` for recursion plus the AST fields the dispatch needs
(`:ast :head` for commands; `:ast :value-ast :type-name` for
converters). Mirrors Step 9's parser feature registry shape.
Smoke tested: register custom command + converter, both dispatch;
built-in `(as x \"Int\")` still produces `(hs-coerce x \"Int\")`.
Mirror `shared/static/wasm/sx/hs-compiler.sx` copied byte-identical.
OCaml: 4545/1339, JS: 2591/2465 — both match baseline, zero regressions.

Add `_hs-feature-registry` dict and `hs-register-feature!` to
`lib/hyperscript/parser.sx`. Replace `parse-feat`'s hardcoded `cond`
on feature names with a registry lookup; the paren-open and
default-expression branches remain as fallthroughs.
Each parse-fn receives a `ctx` dict (built per call by `parse-feat-ctx`)
exposing parser internals (`:adv!`, `:tp-val`, `:tp-type`, `:at-end?`,
`:parse-cmd-list`, `:parse-expr`) and the per-feature handlers
(`:parse-on-feat` … `:parse-socket-feat`). All nine builtins
(`on`, `init`, `def`, `behavior`, `live`, `when`, `worker`, `bind`,
`socket`) are registered at file load time, so plugins added later via
`hs-register-feature!` persist across `hs-parse` calls.
Worker stub still raises identically. Mirror `shared/static/wasm/sx/hs-parser.sx`
copied byte-identical. OCaml: 4545/1339, JS: 2591/2465 — both match
baseline, zero regressions.
