New comprehension tools:
- sx_find_across: search pattern across all .sx files in a directory
- sx_comp_list: list all definitions (defcomp/defisland/defmacro/defpage/define)
- sx_comp_usage: find all uses of a component across files
- sx_diff: structural diff between two .sx files (ADDED/REMOVED/CHANGED)
- sx_eval: REPL — evaluate SX expressions in the MCP server env
Smart read_tree enhancements:
- Auto-summarise large files (>200 lines)
- focus param: expand only matching subtrees, collapse rest
- max_depth/max_lines/offset for depth limiting and pagination
Smart editing tools:
- sx_rename_symbol: rename all occurrences of a symbol in a file

- sx_insert_near: insert before/after a pattern match (top-level)
- sx_rename_across: rename symbol across all .sx files (with dry_run)
- sx_write_file: create .sx files with parse validation
Development tools:
- sx_pretty_print: reformat .sx files with indentation (also used by all edit tools)
- sx_build: build JS bundle or OCaml binary
- sx_test: run test suites with structured pass/fail results
- sx_format_check: lint for empty bindings, missing bodies, duplicate params
- sx_macroexpand: evaluate expressions with a file's macro definitions loaded
Also: updated hook to block Write on .sx files, added custom explore agent.

sx->hypersx transform converts parsed SX to a readable indentation-based
format: CSS selector shorthand (div.card#main), signal sugar (@count,
signal(), :=, <-), string interpolation ("Count: {@count}"), and
structural keywords (when, if, let, map, for).
Implemented as pure SX in web/lib/hypersx.sx, loaded in browser via
js_of_ocaml platform. Added as "hypersx" tab in the tree editor.

Register cond-scheme? as OCaml primitive — was defined in spec/evaluator.sx
but never exposed to the browser runtime, causing render.sx to crash with
"Undefined symbol: cond-scheme?" on every SX response. This broke URL
updates on navigation (handle-history never ran after the rendering error).
Tree editor render tab now extracts &key params from defcomp/defisland
definitions and shows input fields. Values substitute into the rendered
preview live as you type. Inputs live outside the reactive cond branch
so signal updates don't steal focus.
sx-tools page function accepts &key params (title, etc.) forwarded to
the overview component.

Named paths let you navigate by structure name instead of opaque indices.
Both formats work in all MCP tools:
- Index: "(0 3 2)"
- Named: "defisland > let > letrec"
The server detects ">" in the path string and calls resolve-named-path
(SX function) which walks the tree matching child names at each level.
New SX functions: resolve-named-path, split-path-string, find-child-by-name.
MCP server: added trim/split primitives, resolve_path dispatcher.

Tree editor island now has 4 tabs: tree, context, validate, render.
The render tab evaluates SX source as live HTML — type a (div (h2 "Hello"))
and see it rendered immediately.
MCP server paths changed from JSON arrays [0,2,1] to SX strings "(0 2 1)".
Fixes serialization issues and is more natural for an SX tool. The
json_to_path function now parses SX via sx-parse.

Phase 4: defisland ~sx-tools/tree-editor — interactive tree viewer
embedded in the SX Tools page. Features:
- Textarea with :bind for SX source input
- Parse button to re-parse on demand
- Tree view: annotated tree with path labels, clickable nodes
- Context view: enclosing chain from root to selected node
- Validate view: structural integrity checks (catches missing body etc.)
MCP server fixes: added ident-start?, ident-char?, make-keyword,
escape-string, sx-expr-source — needed by parser.sx when loaded
into the MCP evaluator.
Also: .mcp.json for Claude Code MCP server config, CLAUDE.md protocol
for structural .sx file editing.

Phase 1-3 of the SX Tools plan — structural reading, editing, and
MCP server for .sx files.
lib/tree-tools.sx — Pure SX functions for tree comprehension and editing:
Comprehension: annotate-tree, summarise, read-subtree, get-context,
find-all, get-siblings, validate, navigate
Editing: replace-node, insert-child, delete-node, wrap-node, tree-set
Helpers: list-replace, list-insert, list-remove, replace-placeholder
lib/tests/test-tree-tools.sx — 107 tests covering all functions.
hosts/ocaml/bin/mcp_tree.ml — MCP server (stdio JSON-RPC) exposing
11 tools. Loads tree-tools.sx into the OCaml evaluator, parses .sx
files with the native parser, calls SX functions for tree operations.
The MCP server can be configured in Claude Code's settings.json as:
"mcpServers": { "sx-tree": { "command": "path/to/mcp_tree.exe" } }
1429 tests passing (1322 existing + 107 new tree-tools).

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.

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.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
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)

When the VM called a JIT-compiled lambda, it passed vm.globals
(the caller's global env) instead of cl.vm_env_ref (the closure's
captured env that was merged at compile time). Closure-captured
variables like code-tokens from island let/letrec scopes were
invisible at runtime, causing "Undefined symbol" errors that
cascaded to disable render-to-html globally.
Fix: call_closure uses cl.vm_env_ref at both call sites (cached
bytecode and fresh compilation).

The parser was reporting "Unexpected char: )" with no position info.
Added line number, column, and byte position to all parse errors.
Root cause: bind-sse-swap had one extra close paren that naive paren
counting missed because a "(" exists inside a string literal on L1074
(starts-with? trimmed "("). Parse-aware counting (skipping strings
and comments) correctly identified the imbalance.

Platform:
- sx-platform.js: extract ?v= query from script tag URL, append to
all .sx file XHR requests. Prevents stale cached .sx files.
Stepper performance:
- do-back: use rebuild-preview (pure SX→DOM render) instead of
replaying every do-step from 0. O(1) instead of O(n).
- Hydration effect: same rebuild-preview instead of step replay.
- Cookie save moved from do-step to button on-click handlers only.

Server-side create-text-node was returning Nil, causing imperative
text nodes (stopwatch "Start"/"0.0s", imperative counter "0") to
render as empty in SSR HTML. Now returns the text as a String value,
which render-to-html handles via escape-html.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Navigation pipeline now works end-to-end:
- outerHTML swap uses dom-replace-child instead of morph-node (morph has
a CEK continuation issue with nested for-each that needs separate fix)
- swap-dom-nodes returns the new element for outerHTML so post-swap
hydrates the correct (new) DOM, not the detached old element
- sx-render uses marker mode: islands rendered as empty span[data-sx-island]
markers, hydrated by post-swap. Prevents duplicate content from island
body expansion + SX response nav rows.
- dispose-island (singular) called on old island before morph, not just
dispose-islands-in (which only disposes sub-islands)
OCaml runtime:
- safe_eq: Dict equality checks __host_handle for DOM node identity
(js_to_value creates new Dict wrappers per call, breaking physical ==)
- contains?: same host handle check
- to_string: trampoline thunks (fixes <thunk> display)
- as_number: trampoline thunks (fixes arithmetic on leaked thunks)
DOM platform:
- dom-remove, dom-attr-list (name/value pairs), dom-child-list (SX list),
dom-is-active-element?, dom-is-input-element?, dom-is-child-of?, dom-on
All 5 reactive-nav Playwright tests pass.

Three issues in the stepper island's client-side rendering:
1. do-step used eval-expr with empty env for ~cssx/tw spreads — component
not found, result leaked as [object Object]. Fixed: call ~cssx/tw
directly (in scope from island env) with trampoline.
2. steps-to-preview excluded spreads — SSR preview had no styling.
Fixed: include spreads in the tree so both SSR and client render
with CSSX classes.
3. build-children used named let (let loop ...) which produces
unresolved Thunks in render mode due to the named-let compiler
desugaring interacting with the render/eval boundary. Fixed:
rewrote as plain recursive function bc-loop avoiding named let.

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

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.

16 new opcodes (160-175) bypass the CALL_PRIM hashtable lookup for
the most frequently called primitives:
Arithmetic: OP_ADD, OP_SUB, OP_MUL, OP_DIV, OP_INC, OP_DEC, OP_NEG
Comparison: OP_EQ, OP_LT, OP_GT, OP_NOT
Collection: OP_LEN, OP_FIRST, OP_REST, OP_NTH, OP_CONS
The compiler (compiler.sx) recognizes these names at compile time and
emits the inline opcode instead of CALL_PRIM. The opcode is self-
contained — no constant pool index, no argc byte. Each primitive is
a single byte in the bytecode stream.
Implementation in all three VMs:
- OCaml (sx_vm.ml): direct pattern match, no allocation
- SX spec (vm.sx): delegates to existing primitives
- JS (transpiled): same as SX spec
66 new tests in spec/tests/vm-inline.sx covering arithmetic, comparison,
collection ops, composition, and edge cases.

promise-delayed is a browser-only primitive used by the resource island
demo. The SSR renderer needs it as a stub to avoid "Undefined symbol"
errors during render-to-html JIT compilation.
The stub returns the value argument (skipping the delay), so SSR renders
the resolved state immediately.

Replace the manual jit_allowlist (StringSet of ~40 function names) with
universal lazy compilation. Every named lambda gets one compile attempt
on first call; failures are sentineled and never retried.
Compiler internals are still pre-compiled at startup (bootstrapping the
JIT itself), but everything else compiles lazily — no manual curation.
Remove jit-allow command (no longer needed). Remove StringSet module.

evaluator.sx defines *custom-special-forms* and register-special-form!
which shadow the host's native bindings when loaded at runtime. The
native bindings route to Sx_ref.custom_special_forms (the dict the CEK
evaluator checks), but the SX-level defines create a separate dict.
Fix: rebind_host_extensions runs after every load command, re-asserting
the native register-special-form! and *custom-special-forms* bindings.
Add regression test: custom form registered before evaluator.sx load
survives and remains callable via CEK dispatch afterward.

The transpiler treated any list with a non-symbol head as a data list,
emitting [head, args] as a JS array literal. When head is a sub-expression
(another call), it should emit (head)(args) — a function call.
This fixes the custom special forms dispatch in transpiled code:
Before: [get(_customSpecialForms, name), args, env] (array — broken)
After: (get(_customSpecialForms, name))(args, env) (call — correct)
Also fixes IIFE patterns: ((fn (x) body) arg) now emits
(function(x) { ... })(arg) instead of [function(x){...}, arg]

serialize_value was falling through to "nil" for SxExpr and Spread values.
Now SxExpr passes through as raw SX text, Spread serializes as make-spread.
The aser command's result handler now joins a List of SxExprs as a
space-separated fragment (from map/filter producing multiple SxExprs).
Investigation ongoing: handler aser responses still have "class" strings
where :class keywords should be — the component expansion path in aser
loses keyword types during CEK evaluation of component bodies.

Route all rendering through OCaml bridge — render_to_html no longer uses
Python async_eval. Fix register_components to parse &key params and &rest
children from defcomp forms. Remove all dead sx_ref.py imports.
Epoch protocol (prevents pipe desync):
- Every command prefixed with (epoch N), all responses tagged with epoch
- Both sides discard stale-epoch messages — desync structurally impossible
- OCaml main loop discards stale io-responses between commands
Consolidate scope primitives into sx_scope.ml:
- Single source of truth for scope-push!/pop!/peek, collect!/collected,
emit!/emitted, context, and 12 other scope operations
- Removes duplicate registrations from sx_server.ml (including bugs where
scope-emit! and clear-collected! were registered twice with different impls)
- Bind scope prims into env so JIT VM finds them via OP_GLOBAL_GET
JIT VM fixes:
- Trampoline thunks before passing args to CALL_PRIM
- as_list resolves thunks via _sx_trampoline_fn
- len handles all value types (Bool, Number, RawHTML, SxExpr, Spread, etc.)
Other fixes:
- ~cssx/tw signature: (tokens) → (&key tokens) to match callers
- Minimal Python evaluator in html.py for sync sx() Jinja function
- Python scope primitive stubs (thread-local) for non-OCaml paths
- Reader macro resolution via OcamlSync instead of sx_ref.py

Removes the 5993-line bootstrapped Python evaluator (sx_ref.py) and all
code that depended on it exclusively. Both bootstrappers (JS + OCaml)
now use a new synchronous OCaml bridge (ocaml_sync.py) to run the
transpiler. JS build produces identical output; OCaml bootstrap produces
byte-identical sx_ref.ml.
Key changes:
- New shared/sx/ocaml_sync.py: sync subprocess bridge to sx_server.exe
- hosts/javascript/bootstrap.py: serialize defines → temp file → OCaml eval
- hosts/ocaml/bootstrap.py: same pattern for OCaml transpiler
- shared/sx/{html,async_eval,resolver,jinja_bridge,handlers,pages,deps,helpers}:
stub or remove sx_ref imports; runtime uses OCaml bridge (SX_USE_OCAML=1)
- sx/sxc/pages: parse defpage/defhandler from AST instead of Python eval
- hosts/ocaml/lib/sx_primitives.ml: append handles non-list 2nd arg per spec
- Deleted: sx_ref.py, async_eval_ref.py, 6 Python test runners, misc ref/ files
Test results: JS 1078/1078, OCaml 1114/1114.

SX lambdas ((fn (x) body)) now transpile to NativeFn values that can
be stored as SX values — passed to signal-add-sub!, stored in dicts,
used as reactive subscribers. Previously emitted as bare OCaml closures
which couldn't be stored in the SX value type system.
ml-emit-fn → NativeFn("λ", fun args -> match args with [...] -> body)
ml-emit-fn-bare → (fun params -> body) — used by HO inliners and
recursive let bindings (let rec) which call themselves directly.
HO forms (map, filter, reduce, for-each, map-indexed, map-dict) use
cek_call for non-inline function arguments, bare OCaml lambdas for
inline (fn ...) arguments.
Runtime: with_island_scope accepts NativeFn values (pattern match on
value type) since transpiled lambdas are now NativeFn-wrapped.
Unblocks WASM reactive signals — the bootstrap FIXUPS that manually
wrapped reactive_shift_deref's subscriber as NativeFn are no longer

get-cookie / set-cookie primitives on both server and client:

set-cookie is no-op (server sets cookies via HTTP headers)
- Python bridge: _inject_request_cookies_locked() sends

Stepper island (home-stepper.sx):

Register hashtable-based scope accessors that bypass the CEK special form
dispatch, for use by adapter-html.sx and shell templates.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Root causes of missing CSSX classes in SSR:
1. _sx_trampoline_fn in sx_primitives.ml was never wired — call_any in
HO forms (map/filter/for-each) returned unresolved Thunks, so callbacks
like render-lambda-html's param binding never executed. Fixed in
bootstrap.py FIXUPS: wire Sx_primitives._sx_trampoline_fn after eval_expr.
2. adapter-html.sx used (emit! ...) and (emitted ...) which are CEK special
forms (walk kont for ScopeAccFrame), but scope-push!/scope-pop! use the
hashtable. CEK frames and hashtable are two different scope systems.
Fixed: adapter uses scope-emit!/scope-emitted (hashtable primitives).
3. env-* operations (env-has?, env-get, env-bind!, env-set!, env-extend,
env-merge) only accepted Env type. adapter-html.sx passes Dict as env.
Fixed: all env ops go through unwrap_env which handles Dict/Nil.
Also: fix merge conflict in sx/sx/geography/index.sx, remove duplicate
scope primitives from sx_primitives.ml (sx_server.ml registers them).

sx_runtime.ml: unwrap_env now accepts Dict and Nil (converts to Env),
fixing env-merge when adapter-html.sx passes dict-as-env.
sx_server.ml + run_tests.ml: env-merge bindings use Sx_runtime.env_merge
(which handles Dict/Nil) instead of requiring strict Env pattern match.
sx_primitives.ml: Added scope stack (scope-push!/pop!/peek/emit!, emitted),
type predicates (lambda?/island?/component?/macro?), component accessors
(closure/name/params/body/has-children?), lambda accessors, for-each-indexed,
empty-dict?, make-raw-html, raw-html-content, is-else-clause?.

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.

Core VM changes:
- Add VmClosure value variant — inner closures created by OP_CLOSURE are
first-class VM values, not NativeFn wrappers around call_closure
- Convert `run` from recursive to while-loop — zero OCaml stack growth,
true TCO for VmClosure tail calls
- vm_call handles VmClosure by pushing frame on current VM (no new VM
allocation per call)
- Forward ref _vm_call_closure_ref for cross-boundary calls (CEK/primitives)
Compiler (spec/compiler.sx):
- Define hoisting in compile-begin: pre-allocate local slots for all
define forms before compiling any values. Fixes forward references
between inner functions (e.g. read-expr referencing skip-ws in sx-parse)
- scope-define-local made idempotent (skip if slot already exists)
Server (sx_server.ml):
- JIT fail-once sentinel: mark l_compiled as failed after first VM runtime
error. Eliminates thousands of retry attempts per page render.
- HTML tag bindings: register all HTML tags as pass-through NativeFns so
eval-expr can handle (div ...) etc. in island component bodies.
- Log VM FAIL errors with function name before disabling JIT.
SSR fixes:
- adapter-html.sx letrec handler: evaluate bindings in proper letrec scope
(pre-bind nil, then evaluate), render body with render-to-html instead of
eval-expr. Fixes island SSR for components using letrec.
- Add `init` primitive to OCaml kernel (all-but-last of list).
- VmClosure handling in sx_runtime.ml sx_call dispatch.
Tests: 971/971 OCaml (+19 new), 0 failures.

vm_closure now stores the original closure env (vm_closure_env).
GLOBAL_GET walks the closure env chain when the variable isn't in
vm.globals. GLOBAL_SET writes to the correct env in the chain.
This enables JIT compilation of all named functions regardless of
closure depth. No more closure skip check needed.
Pre-compile time back to ~7s (was 37s with closure skip).
Note: sx-parse sibling list parsing still has issues — the root
cause is in how the JIT-compiled letrec + OP_CLOSURE interacts
with the upvalue cell mechanism. Investigation ongoing.

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
