The picker's per-behaviour browser tests are now SX engine tests
(web/tests/test-relate-picker.sx) + SX conformance (lib/host/tests/blog.sx), so
delete them from Playwright and keep only what needs a real boosted-SPA browser:
spa-check.spec.js (3): WASM kernel boots + loads modules CONTENT-ADDRESSED
(/sx/h/{hash} fetches, zero path-.sxbc fallback — new assertion) + marks
ready; a boosted nav fragment-swaps #content (raw! HTML path); back/re-boost.
relate-picker.spec.js (2): the bind-boost-form remove button; the picker
re-binds its load trigger on content brought in by a boosted SPA nav.
Net: 11 browser tests -> 5. Both ephemeral-host suites verified green
(run-spa-check.sh 3/3, run-picker-check.sh 2/2).

Fixes "the remove button does nothing — no network, no console". A plain form on
a boosted (sx-boost) page has no sx-get/sx-post, so the SPA engine boosts it and
binds submit -> execute-request. But bind-boost-form called
`(execute-request form nil nil)` — discarding the method+action it was handed —
and execute-request then asks get-verb-info for a verb, gets nil, and no-ops. So
EVERY plain boosted form silently did nothing: the related-posts "remove" button,
the editor Save button, the is-a-tag toggle.
Fix: pass the form's own method+action as the verbInfo
`(dict "method" method "url" action)`, so the request actually fires (body built
from the form fields). A latent web-engine bug surfaced by the host's edit page —
the first page with plain boosted POST forms.
Test: relate-picker.spec.js gains a remove-button case (relate, reload, click
remove, assert the relation is gone) — 7/7. WASM rebuilt (boot-helpers.sxbc).

Picking a candidate to relate it no longer does a full POST -> 303 -> reload.
The candidate <li> now carries an id and its relate form is an AJAX sx-post
(sx-target="#cand-<kind>-<other>", sx-swap="delete"): on success the engine
deletes just that one row — the item is now related, so it leaves the candidate
pool with no reload and no candidate-list refetch. host/blog-relate-submit returns
an empty 200 for an SX request (so the delete swap fires) and still 303s for a
plain POST (no-JS fallback via the form's method+action).
relate-picker.spec.js test 4 updated to assert the in-place row delete + no reload
+ the relation still persists (shows on the post page). 6/6 + conformance 272/272.
(Symmetric unrelate-in-place was prototyped but backed out: the current-links
form, bound via boot's process-elements rather than post-swap, didn't fire the
AJAX delete despite identical markup — a binding quirk to chase separately. Unrelate
keeps its plain POST -> reload for now, no regression.)

The declarative picker markup is now a reusable SX component
(lib/host/sx/relate-picker.sx, defcomp ~relate-picker &key slug kind) instead of
inline markup in the editor. It is a CONTENT-ADDRESSED, CLIENT-EXPANDED component:
- Server: on a full page load render-page expands ~relate-picker server-side
(SEO / no-JS), exactly as before.
- Client: on a boosted SPA nav the edit body serialises to the compact
(~relate-picker :slug … :kind …), and the CLIENT expands it. The component
module is compiled to a content-addressed .sxbc, served immutably from
/sx/h/{hash}, and listed in the page's data-sx-manifest "boot" array so the
client eager-loads it after the web stack — registering its defcomp before any
boosted fragment references it.
Wiring:
- lib/host/sx/relate-picker.sx — the component.
- lib/host/blog.sx — editor emits (~relate-picker :slug s :kind k); the inline
form markup is gone.
- lib/host/static.sx — host/static-manifest-json emits boot:["relate-picker.sxbc"]
(the previously-empty boot array, now used as designed).
- hosts/ocaml/browser/sx-platform.js — loadWebStack eager-loads the page manifest's
boot[] modules (content-addressed) after the web stack.
- bundle.sh + compile-modules.js — copy/compile the component to .sxbc.
- serve.sh + conformance.sh — load the component module server-side.
This gives the host an app-component system: app defcomps shipped to the client by
hash, the same machinery as the kernel modules — the picker is the first, and it's
the model for publishing components externally.
Tests: conformance 272/272 (server expansion); relate-picker.spec.js 6/6 incl. the
boosted-nav populate (proves client-side component load + expansion) and the
error/retry case. WASM stack rebuilt (relate-picker.sxbc @ 6818110a).

Two engine fixes in web/orchestration.sx (rebuilt into the WASM bytecode) plus the
blog CSS that surfaces them.
1. Retry on NETWORK failure, not just HTTP errors. The fetch error/catch path (the
real offline / DNS / connection-refused case) previously dispatched
sx:requestError and stopped — only a non-ok HTTP response with an empty body
ever reached handle-retry. So "no connection" never recovered. Now the catch
path calls handle-retry too, so an sx-retry element actually self-heals when the
connection returns (the cap bounds the backoff interval, not the attempt count —
it retries forever).
2. Visible failure state. On any failed/aborted fetch the engine adds an `.sx-error`
class to the element (cleared, with the retry backoff reset, on the next
success). Without it a stuck retry loop is invisible — the picker just sits
"Loading…". The blog shell ships CSS so the relate picker shows "Connection
problem — retrying…" / "offline, retrying…" on .sx-error.
Platform-wide: any sx-get/sx-post element benefits, not just the picker.
Tests: relate-picker.spec.js gains a 6th case — abort relate-options, assert
.sx-error appears, un-abort, assert it clears and the picker repopulates (proving
the retry loop is live). 6/6 browser + 272/272 conformance. WASM web stack rebuilt
(orchestration.sxbc + the static hs-* copies refreshed by the same build).

Three composing pieces that make the blog SPA correct and resilient.
Content-addressed module cache (lib/host/static.sx, serve.sh, blog.sx shell,
conformance.sh): index each web-stack .sxbc by the content hash in its head,
serve GET /sx/h/{hash} immutable text/sx, and emit <script data-sx-manifest>
{file->hash} so the WASM client loads modules content-addressed (localStorage +
immutable) instead of path + max-age. serve.sh builds the index at boot;
conformance.sh now loads static.sx before blog.sx (the shell calls
host/static-manifest-json).
Declarative relate picker (lib/host/blog.sx, lib/dream/form.sx): replace the
inline /relate-picker.js blob — which never ran on swapped-in content, so the
candidate list was empty after a boosted nav to /<slug>/edit — with a declarative
SX-htmx form: sx-get relate-options on "load" + debounced "input", innerHTML-swap
the results ul; infinite scroll via a server-emitted "load more" sentinel
(sx-trigger revealed, sx-swap outerHTML) that pages the rest, q preserved via a
new symmetric dr/url-encode. The engine re-binds these triggers on swapped
content, so the picker populates on full load AND boosted SPA nav. Candidate
relate forms get :sx-disable (plain POST->303->reload, their original behavior;
the engine would otherwise boost them and swap the redirect unreliably).
sx-retry "exponential:1000:30000" on the form+sentinel retries a dropped/offline
fetch forever (the cap bounds the interval, not the attempts).
SIGPIPE hardening (hosts/ocaml/bin/sx_server.ml): the native http-listen server
had no SIGPIPE handler, so a client aborting an in-flight fetch (the engine
cancels superseded requests on a debounced filter/fast nav) closed the socket
mid-write and killed the whole process (exit 141). Ignore SIGPIPE so the failed
write becomes a catchable Sys_error the per-connection handler already swallows.
Tests: host conformance 272/272; relate-picker.spec.js 5/5 incl. a boosted-nav
populate regression; spa-check 4/4.

A tag is just a post that is-a tag; tagging is a "tagged" edge to it. End to end:
mark a post a tag, tag posts with it, see a post's tags and a tag's members.
- helpers: host/blog-is-tag? (= is-a? slug "tag"), host/blog-tags (out tagged),
host/blog-tagged-with (in tagged), host/blog-instances-of (a type's members,
O(#subtypes) not O(#posts) — the efficient candidate source).
- picker generalised to be KIND-AWARE and MULTI-INSTANCE: relate-options takes
&kind=, candidates come from the kind's registry :candidates (all/tags/types);
/relate-picker.js wires every .relate-picker box by data-kind (a Related picker
and a Tags picker now coexist on the edit page).
- render: post page gains a "Tags" block; a tag post additionally lists "Tagged
with this" (its members). edit page: a Related editor + a Tags editor + an
"is this post a tag" toggle (reuses /relate kind=is-a — no new route).
- GOTCHA (again): host/blog--relation-editor read host/blog-out INSIDE its
quasiquote -> VmSuspended/500 under http-listen + durable edges; moved the read
to a let before the quasiquote (conformance can't see it — in-memory store;
the ephemeral Playwright run caught it).
6 conformance tests (is-tag?, instances-of, tag+tagged-with, tagged picker offers
only tags, related picker still all, is-a-tag toggle) -> 261/261. Playwright
multi-picker 4/4. Verified live: ocaml made a tag, welcome tagged ocaml, Tags
block + Tagged-with-this both render.

Wire a browser check for the picker, run it against an ephemeral host server,
and fix the two real bugs it surfaced.
- lib/host/playwright/relate-picker.spec.js — drives login-redirect-return,
JS candidate load + infinite scroll, debounced filter, and click-to-relate
(asserting the relation shows on the post page).
- lib/host/playwright/run-picker-check.sh — spins up an ephemeral host server
(this worktree's binary + lib, temp persist), seeds a host post + 25
candidates, runs the spec in the main worktree's Playwright/chromium, tears
everything down. No live-site dependency, no live-data pollution. 4/4 pass.
Bugs the check caught:
1. Query params weren't %-decoded — dream's form parser decodes but its query
parser doesn't, so a filter "Item 13" arrived as "Item%2013" and matched
nothing. Fix: decode q with dream's own dr/url-decode in host/blog-relate-
options. (+ conformance test for a spaced filter.)
2. A filter typed while a load was in flight got dropped (busy guard returned
with no trailing fetch). Fix: a `pending` flag re-runs the load when the
in-flight one finishes, coalescing to the latest query.
239/239 conformance; JS node --check clean. Verified live: spaced filter
returns matches; served JS carries the pending-reload fix.
