Dedicated page documenting and demonstrating content-addressed
computation. How it works, why it matters, the path to IPFS.
Live demo: counter + name widget with CID generation, history,
and restore-from-CID input.

Hash frozen SX to a content identifier (djb2 → hex). Same state
always produces the same CID. Store by CID, retrieve by CID.
- content-hash: djb2 hash of SX text → hex string
- content-put/get: in-memory content store
- freeze-to-cid: freeze scope → store → return CID
- thaw-from-cid: look up CID → thaw signals
- char-code-at / to-hex primitives for both platforms
- Live demo: counter + name widget, content-address button,
CID display, restore from CID input, CID history

- freeze-scope "home-stepper" captures step-idx signal
- Each step/back saves to localStorage via freeze-to-sx
- On mount, restores from localStorage via thaw-from-sx
- Invalid state resets to default (step 9)
- Clear preview lake before replay to prevent duplicates
- Register local-storage-get/set/remove as primitives
- Arrows 3x bigger

Replace raw CEK state serialization with named freeze scopes.
A freeze scope collects signals registered within it. On freeze,
signal values are serialized to SX. On thaw, values are restored.
- freeze-scope: scoped effect delimiter for signal collection
- freeze-signal: register a signal with a name in the current scope
- cek-freeze-scope / cek-thaw-scope: freeze/thaw by scope name
- freeze-to-sx / thaw-from-sx: full SX text round-trip
- cek-freeze-all / cek-thaw-all: batch operations
Also: register boolean?, symbol?, keyword? predicates in both
Python and JS platforms with proper var aliases.
Demo: counter + name input with Freeze/Thaw buttons.
Frozen SX: {:name "demo" :signals {:count 5 :name "world"}}

Documents and demonstrates serializable CEK state. Type an expression,
step to any point, click Freeze to see the frozen SX. Click Thaw to
resume from the frozen state and get the result.
- New page at /sx/(geography.(cek.freeze))
- Nav entry under CEK Machine
- Interactive island demo with step/run/freeze/thaw buttons
- Documentation: the idea, freeze format, thaw/resume, what it enables
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Freeze a CEK state to pure s-expressions. Thaw it back to a live
state and resume with cek-run. Full round-trip through SX text works:
freeze → sx-serialize → sx-parse → thaw → resume → same result.
- cek-freeze: serialize control/env/kont/value to SX dicts
- cek-thaw: reconstruct live state from frozen SX
- Native functions serialize as (primitive "name"), looked up on resume
- Lambdas serialize as (lambda (params) body)
- Environments serialize as flat dicts of visible bindings
- Continuation frames serialize as typed dicts
Enables: localStorage persistence, content-addressed computation,
cross-machine migration, time-travel debugging.

When a tag's open step is evaluated, both its opening and closing
brackets go big+bold together. Previously close ) had the close
step index so it stayed faint until much later.

Code view uses a lake with imperative DOM spans. Each token has its
base syntax colour class stored. On each step, update-code-highlight
iterates all spans and sets class based on step-idx: evaluated tokens
go bold, current step gets violet bg, future stays normal.
No reactive re-rendering of the code view — direct DOM class updates.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Each token span independently reacts to step-idx via deref-as-shift
- Colours match highlight.py: sky for HTML tags, rose for components,
emerald for strings, violet for keywords, amber for numbers
- Current step bold+violet bg, completed steps dimmed
- No closing paren on separate line
- Fix bare nil → NIL in eventDetail and domGetData
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Home page stepper: reactive code view with syntax colouring where
tokens highlight as you step through DOM construction. Each token
is a span with signal-driven classes — current step bold+violet,
completed steps dimmed, upcoming normal. CSSX styling via ~cssx/tw
spreads. Lake preserves imperative DOM across reactive re-renders.
Also fixes: bare lowercase 'nil' in platform_js.py eventDetail and
domGetData — should be NIL (the SX sentinel object).

Replace header source view with interactive CEK render stepper.
Auto-parses on mount, step forward/back through DOM construction

Cache the style element reference in _cssx-style-el so flush-cssx-to-dom
never creates more than one. Previous code called dom-query on every
flush, which could miss the element during rapid successive calls,
creating duplicates.

Add css_extras parameter to create_base_app. Legacy apps (blog, market
etc) get the default extras (basics.css, cards.css, blog-content.css,
prism.css, FontAwesome). SX app passes css_extras=[] — it uses CSSX
for styling and custom highlighting, not Prism/FA/Ghost.
Reduces <style id="sx-css"> from ~100KB+ of irrelevant CSS to ~5KB
of Tailwind resets + only the utility rules the page actually uses.

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

Plato's allegory of the cave applied to web development: HTML/CSS/JS as
shadows on the wall, s-expressions as Forms, the bootstrapper as
demiurge, anamnesis as the wire format's efficiency, the divided line
as SX's rendering hierarchy, and the Form of the Good as the principle
that representation and thing represented should be identical.

The depth axis is done — CEK (Layer 0) through patterns (Layer 4) are
all specced, bootstrapped, and tested. Rewrite the plan to reflect
reality and reframe the next steps as validation (serialization,
stepping debugger, content-addressed computation) before building
superstructure (concurrent CEK, linear effects).

init-client.sx contains browser-only code (dom-listen, collect! cssx).
It was in sx/sx/ which load_sx_dir scans and evaluates server-side,
causing "Undefined symbol: dom-listen". Move to sx/init-client.sx
which is outside the component load path.

- Add frames.sx and cek.sx to the reactive spec registry with prose
- Add CEK Frames and CEK Machine under Specs → Reactive in nav
- Add Spec Explorer link under Language section

Styles (indicator, jiggle animation) and nav aria-selected behavior
were inline Python strings in sx/app.py. Now they live in sx/sx/init.sx
as proper SX source — styles via collect! "cssx", nav via dom-listen.
The shell's inline_css is empty; CSSX handles style injection on boot.

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

Both plans had nav entries and component files but were missing from
the page-functions.sx case statement, causing 404s on their URLs.

Two bugs in _emit_define_as_def: (1) nested def's _current_cell_vars
was replaced instead of unioned with parent — inner functions lost
access to parent's cell vars (skip_ws/skip_comment used bare pos
instead of _cells['pos']). (2) statement-context set! didn't check
_current_cell_vars, always emitting bare assignment instead of
_cells[...]. (3) nested functions that access parent _cells no longer
shadow it with their own empty _cells = {}.
Fixes UnboundLocalError in bootstrapped parser (sx_parse skip_ws)
that crashed production URL routing.

Replace hand-written serialize/sx_serialize/sx_parse in Python with
spec-derived versions from parser.sx. Add parser as a Python adapter
alongside html/sx/async — all 48 parser spec tests pass.
Add reactive runtime plan to sx-docs: 7 feature layers (ref, foreign
FFI, state machines, commands with undo/redo, render loops, keyed
lists, client-first app shell) — zero new platform primitives.

run_type_tests.py, run_signal_tests.py, run_continuation_tests.py all
needed the same sx_ref.eval_expr/trampoline override to tree-walk that
was applied to the CEK test runners. Without this, transpiled HO forms
(ho_map, etc.) re-entered CEK mid-evaluation causing "Unknown frame
type: map" errors. All 186 tests now pass across 5 suites.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
test-cek-reactive.sx: 9 tests across 4 suites — deref pass-through,
signal without reactive-reset, reactive-reset shift with continuation
capture, scope disposal cleanup. run_cek_reactive_tests.py: new runner
loading signals+frames+cek. Both test runners override sx_ref.eval_expr
back to tree-walk so interpreted .sx uses tree-walk internally.
Plan page added to sx-docs.

frames.sx: ReactiveResetFrame + DerefFrame constructors,
kont-capture-to-reactive-reset, has-reactive-reset-frame?.
cek.sx: deref as CEK special form, step-sf-deref pushes DerefFrame,
reactive-shift-deref captures continuation as signal subscriber,
ReactiveResetFrame in step-continue calls update-fn on re-render.
adapter-dom.sx: cek-reactive-text/cek-reactive-attr using cek-run
with ReactiveResetFrame for implicit DOM bindings.

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

Lead with provide/emit! from the first sentence. make-spread/spread?/spread-attrs
are now presented as user-facing API on top of the provide/emit! substrate,
not as independent primitives. Restructured sections, removed redundant
"deeper primitive" content that duplicated the new section I.

- New geography article (provide.sx): four primitives, demos, nested scoping,
adapter comparison, spec explorer links
- Updated spreads article section VI: provide/emit! is now implemented, not planned
- Fixed foundations.sx: ~docs/code-block → ~docs/code (undefined component
was causing the page to silently fail to render)
- Added nav entry and defpage route for provide/emit! article

CI was doing git reset --hard on /root/rose-ash (the dev directory),
flipping the checked-out branch and causing empty diffs when merging.

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.
