A defisland that lets users type an SX expression, step through CEK
evaluation one transition at a time, and see C/E/K registers update
live. Demonstrates that cek-step is pure data->data.
- cek.sx geography: add ~geography/cek/demo-stepper island with
source input, step/run/reset buttons, state display, step history
- platform_js.py: register CEK stepping primitives (make-cek-state,
cek-step, cek-terminal?, cek-value, make-env, sx-serialize) so
island code can access them

Higher-order forms now step element-by-element through the CEK machine
using dedicated frames instead of delegating to tree-walk ho-map etc.
Each callback invocation goes through continue-with-call, so deref-as-shift
works inside map/filter/reduce callbacks in reactive island contexts.
- cek.sx: rewrite step-ho-* to use CEK frames, add frame handlers in
step-continue for map, filter, reduce, for-each, some, every
- frames.sx: add SomeFrame, EveryFrame, MapIndexedFrame
- test-cek-reactive.sx: add 10 tests for CEK-native HO forms
89 tests pass (20 signal + 43 CEK + 26 CEK reactive).

Completes the invoke→cek-call migration across all spec .sx files:
- adapter-sx.sx: map/filter/for-each in aser wire format
- adapter-dom.sx: island render update-fn
- engine.sx: fetch transform callback
- test-cek-reactive.sx: disposal test
Only async-invoke (adapter-async.sx) remains — separate async pattern.

All signal operations (computed, effect, batch, etc.) now dispatch
function calls through cek-call, which routes SX lambdas via cek-run
and native callables via apply. This replaces the invoke shim.
Key changes:
- cek.sx: add cek-call (defined before reactive-shift-deref), replace
invoke in subscriber disposal and ReactiveResetFrame handler
- signals.sx: replace all 11 invoke calls with cek-call
- js.sx: fix octal escape in js-quote-string (char-from-code 0)
- platform_js.py: fix JS append to match Python (list concat semantics),
add Continuation type guard in PLATFORM_CEK_JS, add scheduleIdle
safety check, module ordering (cek before signals)
- platform_py.py: fix ident-char regex (remove [ ] from valid chars),
module ordering (cek before signals)
- run_js_sx.py: emit PLATFORM_CEK_JS before transpiled spec files
- page-functions.sx: add cek and provide page functions for SX URLs

SPEC_MODULES + SPEC_MODULE_ORDER for frames/cek in platform_js.py,
PLATFORM_CEK_JS + CEK_FIXUPS_JS constants, auto-inclusion in
run_js_sx.py, 70+ RENAMES in js.sx. Python: CEK always-include in
bootstrap_py.py, eval_expr/trampoline overridden to cek_run in
platform_py.py with _tree_walk_* preserved for test runners.

Replace _Signal class (Python) and SxSignal constructor (JS) with plain
dicts keyed by "__signal". Nine platform accessor functions become ~20
lines of pure SX in signals.sx. type-of returns "dict" for signals;
signal? is now a structural predicate (dict? + has-key?).
Net: -168 lines platform, +120 lines SX. Zero platform primitives for
reactivity — signals compile to any host via the bootstrappers.

Reactive tracking (deref/computed/effect dep discovery) and island lifecycle
now use the general scoped effects system instead of parallel infrastructure.
Two scope names: "sx-reactive" for tracking context, "sx-island-scope" for
island disposable collection. Eliminates ~98 net lines: _TrackingContext class,
7 tracking context platform functions (Python + JS), *island-scope* global,
and corresponding RENAME_MAP entries. All 20 signal tests pass (17 original +
3 new scope integration tests), plus CEK/continuation/type tests clean.

- Add `scope` special form to eval.sx: (scope name body...) or
(scope name :value v body...) — general dynamic scope primitive
- `provide` becomes sugar: (provide name value body...) calls scope
- Rename provide-push!/provide-pop! to scope-push!/scope-pop! throughout
all adapters (async, dom, html, sx) and platform implementations
- Update boundary.sx: Tier 5 now "Scoped effects" with scope-push!/
scope-pop! as primary, provide-push!/provide-pop! as aliases
- Add scope form handling to async adapter and aser wire format
- Update sx-browser.js, sx_ref.py (bootstrapped output)
- Add scopes.sx docs page, update provide/spreads/demo docs
- Update nav-data, page-functions, docs page definitions

Spreads now emit their attrs into the nearest element's provide scope
instead of requiring per-child spread? checks at every intermediate
layer. emit! is tolerant (no-op when no provider), so spreads in
non-element contexts silently vanish.
- adapter-html: element/lake/marsh wrap children in provide, collect
emitted; removed 14 spread filters from fragment, forms, components
- adapter-sx: aser wraps result to catch spread values from fn calls;
aser-call uses provide with attr-parts/child-parts ordering
- adapter-async: same pattern for both render and aser paths
- adapter-dom: added emit! in spread dispatch + provide in element
rendering; kept spread? checks for reactive/island and DOM safety
- platform: emit! returns NIL when no provider instead of erroring
- 3 new aser tests: stored spread, nested element, silent drop

Spread values from make-spread were crashing the wire format serializer:
- serialize() had no "spread" case, fell through to (str val) producing
Python repr "<shared.sx.ref.sx_ref._Spread...>" which was treated as
an undefined symbol
- aser-call/async-aser-call didn't handle spread children — now merges
spread attrs as keyword args into the parent element
- aser-fragment/async-aser-fragment didn't filter spreads — now filters
them (fragments have no parent element to merge into)
- serialize() now handles spread type: (make-spread {:key "val"})
Added 3 aser-spreads tests. All 562 tests pass.

When a spread value (e.g. from ~cssx/tw) appears inside an island with
signal-dependent tokens, reactive-spread tracks deps and updates the
element's class/attrs when signals change. Old classes are surgically
removed, new ones appended, and freshly collected CSS rules are flushed
to the live stylesheet. Multiple reactive spreads on one element are safe.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
adapter-dom.sx: if/when/cond reactive paths now check whether
initial-result is a spread. If so, return it directly — spreads
aren't DOM nodes and can't be appended to fragments. This lets
any spread-returning component (like ~cssx/tw) work inside islands
without the spread being silently dropped.
cssx.sx: revert make-spread workaround — the root cause is now
fixed in the adapter. ~cssx/tw can use a natural top-level if.

deps.sx: scan island bodies for component deps (was only scanning
"component" and "macro", missing "island" type). This ensures
~cssx/tw and its dependencies are sent to the client for islands.
cssx.sx: move if inside make-spread arg so it's evaluated by
eval-expr (no reactive wrapping) instead of render-to-dom which
applies reactive-if inside island scope, converting the spread
into a fragment and losing the class attrs.
Added island dep tests at 3 levels: test-deps.sx (spec),
test_deps.py (Python), test_parity.py (ref vs fallback).
sx-browser.js: temporary debug logging at spread detection points.

Islands render independently on the client, so ~cssx/tw calls
collect!("cssx", rule) but no ~cssx/flush runs. Add flush-cssx-to-dom
in boot.sx that injects collected rules into a persistent <style>
element in <head>.
Called at all lifecycle points: boot-init, sx-mount, resolve-suspense,
post-swap (navigation morph), and swap-rendered-content (client routes).

The previous fix only guarded domAppend/domInsertAfter, but many
platform JS functions (asyncRenderChildren, asyncRenderElement,
asyncRenderMap, render, sxRenderWithEnv) call appendChild directly.
Add _spread guards to all direct appendChild sites. For async element
rendering, merge spread attrs onto parent (class/style join, others
overwrite) matching the sync adapter behavior.

Spread values (from ~cssx/tw etc.) are attribute dicts, not DOM nodes.
When they appear in non-element contexts (fragments, islands, lakes,
reactive branches), they must not be passed to appendChild/insertBefore.
Add _spread guard to platform domAppend and domInsertAfter — fixes
TypeError: Node.appendChild: Argument 1 does not implement interface Node.

Spread values returned by components like ~cssx/tw are not DOM nodes
and cannot be passed to appendChild. Filter them in fragment, let,
begin/do, component children, and data list rendering paths — matching
the HTML adapter's existing spread filtering.

Four new primitives for scoped downward value passing and upward
accumulation through the render tree. Specced in .sx, bootstrapped
to Python and JS across all adapters (eval, html, sx, dom, async).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
New SX primitives for child-to-parent communication in the render tree:
- spread type: make-spread, spread?, spread-attrs — child injects attrs
onto parent element (class joins with space, style with semicolon)
- collect!/collected/clear-collected! — render-time accumulation with
dedup into named buckets
~cssx/tw is now a proper defcomp returning a spread value instead of a
macro wrapping children. ~cssx/flush reads collected "cssx" rules and
emits a single <style data-cssx> tag.
All four render adapters (html, async, dom, aser) handle spread values.
Both bootstraps (Python + JS) regenerated. Also fixes length→len in
cssx.sx (length was never a registered primitive).

Add url-to-expr, auto-quote-unknowns, prepare-url-expr to router.sx —
the canonical URL-to-expression pipeline. Dots→spaces, parse, then
auto-quote unknown symbols as strings (slugs). The same spec serves
both server (Python) and client (JS) route handling.
- router.sx: three new pure functions for URL evaluation
- bootstrap_py.py: auto-include router module with html adapter
- platform_js.py: export urlToExpr/autoQuoteUnknowns/prepareUrlExpr
- sx_router.py: replace hand-written auto_quote_slugs with bootstrapped
prepare_url_expr — delete ~50 lines of hardcoded function name sets
- Rebootstrap sx_ref.py (4331 lines) and sx-browser.js

The dep scanner regex only matched [a-zA-Z0-9_-] in component names,

Extends router.sx with the full SX URL algebra — structural navigation
(.slug, .., ...), keyword set/delta (.:page.4, .:page.+1), bare-dot
shorthand, and ! special form parsing (!source, !inspect, !diff, !search,
!raw, !json). All pure SX spec, bootstrapped to both Python and JS.
Fixes: index-of -1/nil portability (_index-of-safe wrapper), variadic
(+ a b c) transpilation bug (use nested binary +). Includes 115 passing
tests covering all operations. Also: "The" strapline and essay title.

Add sx-url-to-path to router.sx that converts SX expression URLs to
old-style slash paths for route matching. find-matching-route now
transparently handles both formats — the browser URL stays as the SX
expression while matching uses the equivalent old-style path.
/(language.(doc.introduction)) → /language/docs/introduction for matching
but pushState keeps the SX URL in the browser bar.
- router.sx: add _fn-to-segment (doc→docs, etc.), sx-url-to-path
- router.sx: modify find-matching-route to convert SX URLs before matching
- Rebootstrap sx-browser.js and sx_ref.py

Phase 6 — deftype: named type aliases, unions, records, and parameterized
types. Type definitions stored as plain dicts in *type-registry*. Includes
resolve-type for named type resolution, substitute-type-vars for
parameterized instantiation, subtype-resolved? for structural record
subtyping, and infer-type extension for record field type inference via get.
Phase 7 — defeffect: static effect annotations. Effects stored in
*effect-registry* and *effect-annotations*. Supports :effects keyword on
defcomp and define. Gradual: unannotated = all effects, empty list = pure.
check-body-walk validates effect containment at call sites.
Standard types defined: (maybe a), type-def, diagnostic, prim-param-sig.
Standard effects declared: io, mutation, render.
84/84 type system tests pass. Both Python and JS bootstrappers succeed.

Extend the type annotation system from defcomp-only to fn/lambda params:
- Infrastructure: sf-lambda, py/js-collect-params-loop, and bootstrap_py.py
now recognize (name :as type) in param lists, extracting just the name
- bootstrap_py.py: add _extract_param_name() helper, fix _emit_for_each_stmt
- 521 type annotations across 22 .sx spec files (eval, types, adapters,
transpilers, engine, orchestration, deps, signals, router, prove, etc.)
- Zero behavioral change: annotations are metadata for static analysis only
- All bootstrappers (Python, JS, G1) pass, 81/81 spec tests pass

The cond special form misclassified Clojure-style as scheme-style when
the first test was a 2-element list like (nil? x) — treating it as a

cond-scheme? using every? to check ALL clauses, fix eval.sx sf-cond and
render.sx eval-cond, rewrite engine.sx parse-time/filter-params as
nested if to avoid the ambiguity, add regression tests across eval/
render/aser specs. 378/378 tests pass.

Two bugs fixed:
1. process-bindings used merge(env) which returns {} for Env objects
(Env is not a dict subclass). Changed to env-extend in render.sx
and adapter-async.sx. This caused "Undefined symbol: theme" etc.
2. async-aser-eval-call passed evaled-args list to async-invoke(&rest),
double-wrapping it. Changed to inline apply + coroutine check.
Also: bootstrap define-async into sx_ref.py (Phase 6), replace ~1000 LOC
hand-written async_eval_ref.py with 24-line thin re-export shim.
Test runner now uses Env (not flat dict) for render envs to catch scope bugs.
8 new regression tests (4 scope chain, 2 native callable arity, 2 render).

The sync aser-call in adapter-sx.sx didn't flatten list results from
map/filter in positional children — serialize(list) wrapped in parens
creating ((div ...) ...) which re-parses as an invalid call. Rewrote
aser-call from reduce to for-each (bootstrapper can't nest for-each
inside reduce lambdas) and added list flattening in both aser-call
and aser-fragment.
Also adds test-aser.sx (41 tests), render-sx platform function,
expanded test-render.sx (+7 map/filter children tests), and specs
async-eval-slot-inner in adapter-async.sx.
