Enabling the epoch serving-mode JIT globally regressed continuation-based guest
interpreters (the epoch mode is the shared command channel every loop's
conformance runner uses). Two-part fix:
1. SAFE DEFAULT GATE. register_jit_hook in the persistent server branch is now
opt-in via SX_SERVING_JIT=1 (default OFF). Default behaviour is unchanged
(no JIT in epoch serving) → zero regression for sibling loops. The
content/Smalltalk page server opts in.
2. GENERAL FIXES + per-guest interpret-only declarations:
- callable? (sx_server/run_tests/integration_tests/mcp_tree) now accepts
VmClosure. A JIT-compiled higher-order function returns its inner closure
as a VmClosure; callable? previously rejected it, so scheme-apply's
(callable? proc) guard failed with "not a procedure: <vm:anon>".
- jit-exclude! gains a trailing-"*" namespace-prefix form
(Sx_types.jit_excluded_prefixes), the robust way to mark a whole guest
interpreter interpret-only (a name-list misses functions in extra files —
it left erlang's vm/dispatcher JIT'd and 13 tests short).
- Per-guest exclusions in each guest's runtime.sx:
scheme "scheme-*" "scm-*" erlang "er-*" "erlang-*"
prolog "pl-*" common-lisp "cl-*" "clos-*"
js "js-*" haskell "hk-*"
Verified under opt-in JIT (== CEK, no hang): smalltalk 847/847, scheme/flow
166/166, erlang 530/530, prolog 590/590, apl 152/152, js 147/148. Residual
(documented, protected by the default gate): common-lisp 6 fails in advanced
suites (parser-recovery/debugger/CLOS/MOP). lua (0/16) and tcl (3/4) fail
identically on CEK — pre-existing, not JIT. run_tests --jit/no-jit unchanged.

22 JIT closure scoping tests covering:
- Basic closure var in map callback + context switch
- Signal + letrec + map (stepper pattern)
- Nested closures (inner lambda sees outer let var)
- Mutual recursion in letrec (is-even/is-odd)
- set! mutation of closure var after JIT compilation
- defisland with signal + letrec + map
- Deep nesting (for-each inside map inside letrec inside let)
All test the critical invariant: JIT-compiled lambdas must use
their closure's vm_env_ref, not the caller's globals.

Tests the exact pattern that broke the home stepper: a component
with letrec bindings referenced inside a map callback. The JIT
compiles the callback with closure vars merged into vm_env_ref.
Subsequent renders must use that env, not the caller's globals.
7 tests covering:
- letrec closure var in map callback (fmt function)
- Render, unrelated render, re-render (env not polluted)
- Signal + letrec + map (the stepper pattern)

spec/ now contains only the language definition (5 files):
evaluator.sx, parser.sx, primitives.sx, render.sx, special-forms.sx
lib/ contains code written IN the language (8 files):
stdlib.sx, types.sx, freeze.sx, content.sx,
bytecode.sx, compiler.sx, vm.sx, callcc.sx
Test files follow source: spec/tests/ for core language tests,
lib/tests/ for library tests (continuations, freeze, types, vm).
Updated all consumers:
- JS/Python/OCaml bootstrappers: added lib/ to source search paths
- OCaml bridge: spec_dir for parser/render, lib_dir for compiler/freeze
- JS test runner: scans spec/tests/ (always) + lib/tests/ (--full)
- OCaml test runner: scans spec/tests/, lib tests via explicit request
- Docker dev mounts: added ./lib:/app/lib:ro
Tests: 1041 JS standard, 1322 JS full, 1101 OCaml — all pass

Three bugs broke island SSR rendering of the home stepper widget:
1. Inline VM opcodes (OP_ADD..OP_DEC) broke JIT-compiled functions.
The compiler emitted single-byte opcodes for first/rest/len/= etc.
that produced wrong results in complex recursive code (sx-parse
returned nil, split-tag produced 1 step instead of 16). Reverted
compiler to use CALL_PRIM for all primitives. VM opcode handlers
kept for future use.
2. Named let (let loop ((x init)) body) had no compiler support —
silently produced broken bytecode. Added desugaring to letrec.
3. URL-encoded cookie values not decoded server-side. Client set-cookie
uses encodeURIComponent but Werkzeug doesn't decode cookie values.
Added unquote() in bridge cookie injection.
Also: call-lambda used eval_expr which copies Dict values (signals),
breaking mutations through aser lambda calls. Switched to cek_call.
Also: stepper preview now includes ~cssx/tw spreads for SSR styling.
Tests: 1317 JS, 1114 OCaml, 26 integration (2 pre-existing failures)

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.
