py.sx is an SX-to-Python translator written in SX. Running it on the
Python evaluator against the spec files produces byte-for-byte identical
output to the hand-written bootstrap_py.py (128/128 defines match,
1490 lines, 88955 bytes).
The bootstrapper bootstraps itself: G0 (Python) == G1 (SX).

_build_component_ast parsed SxExpr values back into AST, which
_arender then evaluated as HTML instead of passing through as raw
content for the script tag. Dev mode was unaffected because the
pretty-printer converted page_sx to a plain str first.

- z3.sx: SX-to-SMT-LIB translator written in SX (359 lines), replaces Python translation logic
- prove.sx: SMT-LIB satisfiability checker in SX — proves all 91 primitives sat by construction
- Parser: support unicode characters (em-dash, accented letters) in symbols
- Auto-resolve reader macros: #name finds name-translate in component env, no Python registration
- Platform primitives: type-of, symbol-name, keyword-name, sx-parse registered in primitives.py
- Cond heuristic: predicates ending in ? recognized as Clojure-style tests
- Library loading: z3.sx loaded at startup with reload callbacks for hot-reload ordering
- reader_z3.py: rewritten as thin shell delegating to z3.sx
- Split monolithic .sx files: essays (22), plans (13), reactive-islands (6) into separate files

Lambda multi-body fix: sf-lambda used (nth args 1), dropping all but the first
body expression. Fixed to collect all body expressions and wrap in (begin ...).
This was foundational — every multi-expression lambda in every island silently
dropped expressions after the first.
Reactive islands: fix dom-parent marker timing (first effect run before marker
is in DOM), fix :key eager evaluation, fix error boundary scope isolation,
fix resource/suspense reactive cond tracking, fix inc not available as JS var.
New essay: "React is Hypermedia" — argues that reactive islands are hypermedia
controls whose behavior is specified in SX, not a departure from hypermedia.

- suspense render-dom form: shows fallback while resource loads, swaps
to body content when resource signal resolves
- resource async signal: wraps promise into signal with loading/data/error
dict, auto-transitions on resolve/reject via promise-then
- transition: defers signal writes to requestIdleCallback, sets pending
signal for UI feedback during expensive operations
- Added schedule-idle, promise-then platform functions
- All Phase 2 features now marked Done in status tables

- :class-map dict toggles classes reactively via classList.add/remove
- :style-map dict sets inline styles reactively via el.style[prop]
- ref/ref-get/ref-set! mutable boxes (non-reactive, like useRef)
- :ref attribute sets ref.current to DOM element after rendering
- portal render-dom form renders children into remote target element
- Portal content auto-removed on island disposal via register-in-scope
- Added #portal-root div to page shell template
- Added stop-propagation and dom-focus platform functions
- Demo islands for all three features on the demo page
- Updated status tables: all P0/P1 features marked Done

Items with :key attributes are matched by key across renders — existing
DOM nodes are reused, stale nodes removed, new nodes inserted in order.
Falls back to clear-and-rerender without keys.

- Effect and computed auto-register disposers with island scope via
register-in-scope; dispose-islands-in called before every swap point
(orchestration.sx) to clean up intervals/subscriptions on navigation.
- Map + deref inside islands auto-upgrades to reactive-list for signal-
bound list rendering. Demo island with add/remove items.
- New :bind attribute for two-way signal-input binding (text, checkbox,
radio, textarea, select). bind-input in adapter-dom.sx handles both
signal→element (effect) and element→signal (event listener).
- Phase 2 plan page at /reactive-islands/phase2 covering input binding,
keyed reconciliation, reactive class/style, refs, portals, error
boundaries, suspense, and transitions.
- Updated status tables in overview and plan pages.
- Fixed stopwatch reset (fn body needs do wrapper for multiple exprs).

Three bugs prevented islands from working during SX wire navigation:
1. components_for_request() only bundled Component and Macro defs, not
Island defs — client never received defisland definitions during
navigation (components_for_page for initial HTML shell was correct).
2. hydrate-island used morph-children which can't transfer addEventListener
event handlers from freshly rendered DOM to existing nodes. Changed to
clear+append so reactive DOM with live signal subscriptions is inserted
directly.
3. asyncRenderToDom (client-side async page eval) checked _component but
not _island on ~-prefixed names — islands fell through to generic eval
which failed. Now delegates to renderDomIsland.
4. setInterval_/setTimeout_ passed SX Lambda objects directly to native
timers. JS coerced them to "[object Object]" and tried to eval as code,
causing "missing ] after element list". Added _wrapSxFn to convert SX
lambdas to JS functions before passing to timers.

scope creates reactive-text node instead of static text
- Add Island SSR support in html.py (_render_island with data-sx-island)
- Add Island bundling in jinja_bridge.py (defisland defs sent to client)
- Update deps.py to track Island dependencies alongside Component

The Python bootstrapper now auto-includes deps (component analysis)
and signals (reactive islands) when the HTML adapter is present,
matching production requirements where sx_ref.py must export
compute_all_deps, transitive_deps, page_render_plan, etc.

Both bootstrappers now handle the full signal runtime:
- &rest lambda params → JS arguments.slice / Python *args
- Signal/Island/TrackingContext platform functions in both hosts
- RENAMES for all signal, island, tracking, and reactive DOM identifiers
- signals auto-included with DOM adapter (JS) and HTML adapter (Python)
- Signal API exports on Sx object (signal, deref, reset, swap, computed, effect, batch)
- New DOM primitives: createComment, domRemove, domChildNodes, domRemoveChildrenAfter, domSetData
- jsonSerialize/isEmptyDict for island state serialization
- Demo HTML page exercising all signal primitives

test-signals.sx: 17 tests covering signal basics (create, deref, reset!,
swap!), computed (derive, update, chain), effects (run, re-run, dispose,
cleanup), batch (deferred deduped notifications), and defisland (create,
call, children).
types.py: Island dataclass mirroring Component but for reactive boundaries.
evaluator.py: sf_defisland special form, Island in call dispatch.
run.py: Signal platform primitives (make-signal, tracking context, etc)
and native effect/computed/batch implementations that bridge Lambda
calls across the Python↔SX boundary.
signals.sx: Updated batch to deduplicate subscribers across signals.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
New spec file signals.sx defines the signal runtime: signal, computed,
effect, deref, reset!, swap!, batch, dispose, and island scope tracking.
eval.sx: defisland special form + island? type predicate in eval-call.
boundary.sx: signal primitive declarations (Tier 3).
render.sx: defisland in definition-form?.
adapter-dom.sx: render-dom-island with reactive context, reactive-text,
reactive-attr, reactive-fragment, reactive-list helpers.
adapter-html.sx: render-html-island for SSR with data-sx-island/state.
adapter-sx.sx: island? handling in wire format serialization.
special-forms.sx: defisland declaration with docs and example.

7c: Client data cache management via element attributes
(sx-cache-invalidate) and response headers (SX-Cache-Invalidate,
SX-Cache-Update). Programmatic API: invalidate-page-cache,
invalidate-all-page-cache, update-page-cache.
7d: Service Worker (sx-sw.js) with IndexedDB for offline-capable
data caching. Network-first for /sx/data/ and /sx/io/, stale-while-
revalidate for /static/. Cache invalidation propagates from
in-memory cache to SW via postMessage.

defpage is already portable: server executes via execute_page(),
client via try-client-route. Add render plan logging to client
routing so console shows boundary decisions on navigation:
"sx:route plan pagename — N server, M client"
Mark Phase 7 (Full Isomorphism) as complete:
- 7a: affinity annotations + render-target
- 7b: page render plans (boundary optimizer)
- 7e: cross-host isomorphic testing (61 tests)
- 7f: universal page descriptor + visibility
7c (optimistic updates) and 7d (offline data) remain as future work.

61 tests evaluate the same SX expressions on both Python (sx_ref.py)
and JS (sx-browser.js via Node.js), comparing output:
- 37 eval tests (arithmetic, strings, collections, logic, HO forms)
- 24 render tests (elements, attrs, void elements, components, escaping)
All pass — both hosts produce identical results from the same spec.

Add page-render-plan to deps.sx: given page source + env + IO names,
computes a dict mapping each needed component to "server" or "client",
with server/client lists and IO dep collection. 5 new spec tests.
Integration:
- PageDef.render_plan field caches the plan at registration
- compute_page_render_plans() called from auto_mount_pages()
- Client page registry includes :render-plan per page
- Affinity demo page shows per-page render plans

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

Add :affinity :client/:server/:auto annotations to defcomp, with
render-target function combining affinity + IO analysis. Includes
spec (eval.sx, deps.sx), tests, Python evaluator, and demo page.
Fix critical bug: Python SX parser _ESCAPE_MAP was missing \r and \0,
causing bootstrapped JS parser to treat 'r' as whitespace — breaking
all client-side SX parsing. Also add \0 to JS string emitter and
fix serializer round-tripping for \r and \0.
Reserved word escaping: bootstrappers now auto-append _ to identifiers
colliding with JS/Python reserved words (e.g. default → default_,
final → final_), so the spec never needs to avoid host language keywords.

_script_hash used relative Path("static") which resolved to /app/static/
inside the container, but the file is at /app/shared/static/. Use

Parser: chained .replace() calls processed \n before \\, causing \\n
to become a real newline. Replaced with character-by-character
_unescape_string. Fixes 2 parser spec test failures.
Primitives: prim_get only handled dict and list. Objects with .get()
methods (like PageDef) returned None. Added hasattr fallback.
Fixes 9 defpage spec test failures.
All 259 spec tests now pass (was 244/259).

domCreateElement treated SX NIL (a truthy JS object) as a real namespace,
calling createElementNS("nil", tag) instead of createElement(tag). All
elements created by resolveSuspense ended up in the "nil" XML namespace
where CSS class selectors don't match.
Also fix ~suspense fallback: empty &rest list is truthy in SX, so
fallback content never rendered.

parse() returns a list of expressions. resolveSuspense was passing the
entire array to renderToDom, which interpreted [(<> ...)] as a call
expression ((<> ...)) — causing "Not callable: {}". Now iterates
each expression individually, matching the public render() API.

The make-raw-html wrapper in eval-list was host-specific: it fixed
server-side HTML escaping but broke the client DOM adapter (render-expr
returns DOM nodes, not strings). The raw-html wrapping belongs in the
host (async_eval_ref.py line 94-101), not the spec.

Streaming resolve scripts arrive after boot, so any extra component
defs sent as <script type="text/sx"> tags weren't being loaded.
Fix in the spec (boot.sx): call (process-sx-scripts nil) at the
start of resolve-suspense so late-arriving component defs are
available in componentEnv before rendering.

Resolved SX content may reference components not in the initial shell
scan (e.g. ~cart-mini from IO-generated headers). Diff the needed
components against what the shell already sent and prepend any extra
defcomps as a <script type="text/sx"> block before the resolve script.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The streaming page's component scan only covered the suspense
placeholders, missing transitive deps from layout headers (e.g.
~cart-mini, ~auth-menu). Add layout.component_names to Layout class
and include them plus page content_expr in the scan source.
