The entire parallel CSS system (StyleValue type, style dictionary,
keyword atom resolver, content-addressed class generation, runtime
CSS injection, localStorage caching) was built but never adopted —
the codebase already uses :class strings with defcomp components
for all styling. Remove ~3,000 lines of unused infrastructure.
Deleted:
- cssx.sx spec module (317 lines)
- style_dict.py (782 lines) and style_resolver.py (254 lines)
- StyleValue type, defkeyframes special form, build-keyframes platform fn
- Style dict JSON delivery (<script type="text/sx-styles">), cookies, localStorage
- css/merge-styles primitives, inject-style-value, fnv1a-hash platform interface
Simplified:
- defstyle now binds any value (string, function) — no StyleValue type needed
- render-attrs no longer special-cases :style StyleValue → class conversion
- Boot sequence skips style dict init step
Preserved:
- tw.css parsing + CSS class delivery (SX-Css headers, <style id="sx-css">)
- All component infrastructure (defcomp, caching, bundling, deps)
- defstyle as a binding form for reusable class strings

eval-cond and process-bindings were hand-written platform JS in
bootstrap_js.py rather than specced in .sx files. This violated the
SX host architecture principle. Now specced in render.sx as shared
render adapter helpers, bootstrapped to both JS and Python.
eval-cond handles both scheme-style ((test body) ...) and clojure-style
(test body test body ...) cond clauses. Returns unevaluated body
expression for the adapter to render in its own mode.
process-bindings evaluates let-binding pairs and returns extended env.

Split monolithic render.sx into core (tag registries, shared utils) plus
four adapter .sx files: adapter-html (server HTML strings), adapter-sx
(SX wire format), adapter-dom (browser DOM nodes), and engine (SxEngine
triggers, morphing, swaps). All adapters written in s-expressions with
platform interface declarations for JS bridge functions.
Bootstrap compiler now accepts --adapters flag to emit targeted builds:
-a html → server-only (1108 lines)
-a dom,engine → browser-only (1634 lines)
-a html,sx → server with SX wire (1169 lines)
(default) → all adapters (1800 lines)
Fixes: keyword arg i-counter desync in reduce across all adapters,
render-aware special forms (let/if/when/cond/map) in HTML adapter,
component children double-escaping, ~prefixed macro dispatch.

Meta-circular evaluator: the SX language specifying its own semantics.
A thin bootstrap compiler per target (JS, Python, Rust) reads these
.sx files and emits a native evaluator.
Files:
- eval.sx: Core evaluator — type dispatch, special forms, TCO trampoline,
lambda/component/macro invocation, higher-order forms
- primitives.sx: Declarative specification of ~80 built-in pure functions
- render.sx: Three rendering modes (DOM, HTML string, SX wire format)
- parser.sx: Tokenizer, parser, and serializer specification
Platform-specific concerns (DOM ops, async I/O, HTML emission) are
declared as interfaces that each target implements.
