Bytecode modules are now serialized as s-expressions (.sxbc) in addition
to JSON (.sxbc.json). The .sxbc format is the canonical representation —
content-addressable, parseable by the SX parser, and suitable for CID
referencing. Annotation layers (source maps, variable names, tests, docs)
can reference the bytecode CID without polluting the bytecode itself.
Format: (sxbc version hash (code :arity N :bytecode (...) :constants (...)))
The browser loader tries .sxbc first (via load-sxbc kernel primitive),
falls back to .sxbc.json. Caddy needs .sxbc MIME type to serve the new
format (currently 404s, JSON fallback works).

Two bugs fixed:
1. Links: bytecode compiler doesn't handle &rest params — treats them as
positional, so (first rest) gets a raw string instead of a list.
Replaced &rest with explicit optional params in all bytecode-compiled
web SX files (dom-query, dom-add-listener, browser-push-state, etc.).
The VM already pads missing args with Nil.
2. Reactive counter: signal-remove-sub! used (filter ...) which returns
immutable List, but signal-add-sub! uses (append!) which only mutates
ListRef. Subscribers silently vanished after first effect re-run.
Fixed by adding remove! primitive that mutates ListRef in-place.
Also:
- Added evalVM API to WASM kernel (compile + run through bytecode VM)
- Added scope tracing (scope-push!/pop!/peek/context instrumentation)
- Added Playwright reactive mode for debugging island signal/DOM state
- Replaced cek-call with direct calls in core-signals.sx effect/computed
- Recompiled all 23 bytecode modules

List.find returns the element that matched, but SX some should return
the callback's truthy return value. This caused get-verb-info to return
"get" (the verb string) instead of the {method, url} dict.
Also added _active_vm tracking to VM for future HO primitive optimization,
and reverted get-verb-info to use some (no longer needs for-each workaround).

The sx-get links were doing full page refreshes because click handlers
never attached. Root causes: VM frame management bug, missing primitives,
CEK/VM type dispatch mismatch, and silent error swallowing.
Fixes:
- VM frame exhaustion: frames <- [] now properly pops to rest_frames
- length primitive: add alias for len in OCaml primitives
- call_sx_fn: use sx_call directly instead of eval_expr (CEK checks
for type "lambda" but VmClosure reports "function")
- Boot error surfacing: Sx.init() now has try/catch + failure summary
- Callback error surfacing: catch-all handler for non-Eval_error exceptions
- Silent JIT failures: log before CEK fallback instead of swallowing
- vm→env sync: loadModule now calls sync_vm_to_env()
- sx_build_bytecode MCP tool added for bytecode compilation
Tests: 50 new tests across test-vm.sx and test-vm-primitives.sx covering
nested VM calls, frame integrity, CEK bridge, primitive availability,
cross-module symbol resolution, and callback dispatch.

- compile-modules.js: Node.js build tool, all 23 .sx files compile to .sxbc.json
- api_load_module with shared globals (beginModuleLoad/endModuleLoad batch API)
- api_compile_module for runtime compilation
- sx-platform.js: bytecode-first loader with source fallback, JSON deserializer
- Deferred JIT enable (setTimeout after boot)
Known issues:
- WASM browser: loadModule loads but functions not accessible (env writeback
issue with interned keys)
- WASM browser: compileModule fails ("Not callable: nil" — compile-module
function from bytecode not working correctly in WASM context)
- Node.js js_of_ocaml: full roundtrip works (compile → load → call)

- orchestration.sx: add nil guard for verb/url before calling do-fetch
(prevents "Expected string, got nil" when verb info dict lacks method)
- sx_browser.ml: restore JIT error logging (Eval_error only, not all
exceptions) so real failures are visible, silence routine fallbacks
- Rebuild WASM bundle with fixes

- Wire up jit_call_hook in sx_browser.ml (same pattern as server)
- Deferred JIT: _jit_enabled flag, enabled after boot-init completes
(prevents "Undefined symbol" errors from compiling during .sx loading)
- enable-jit! native function called by sx-platform.js after boot
- sx-platform.js: async WASM kernel polling + JIT enable after init
- Error logging for JIT compile failures and runtime fallbacks
Performance: 858ms → 431ms (WASM CEK) → 101ms (WASM JIT)
