An algebraic type is a post with operand edges: conj edges (intersection members),
disj edges (union members). host/blog-instances-of-expr computes its extent from the
operands' extents by set intersection/union, RECURSIVELY — operands can themselves be
algebraic (meta-circular; tested with (tag ∧ article) ∧ tag). host/blog-is-a-expr?
generalises is-a? to type expressions; make-and!/make-or! build them. Binary today
(nth 0/1, no fold over operands — robust on the serving JIT).
Operand edges are KV-only (host/blog--add-edge-kv!, read via host/blog-out), NOT in
lib/relations — feeding extra kinds into the Datalog graph blows up its per-query
re-saturation; load-edges! skips conj/disj on replay too.
conformance 295/295 (+4: intersection/union membership, extent = set op, nested expr).
(NB: host conformance can EXIT 124 purely from a sibling loop's CPU contention — ran
with timeout 1200.)

relate-candidates computes the available candidate SLUGS (slug-sorted, no per-candidate
read), then reads titles only for the page it returns. On the unfiltered path (q="" —
the initial picker load AND every editor server-fill, the common case) that's ~limit
durable reads instead of one-per-post, cutting the http-listen suspend/resume churn. A
filter (q≠"") still resolves titles across the pool since it matches on the title.
(A boot slug→title cache would make the filter O(1)-perform too, but it's blocked: no
bulk KV read, and a per-post host/blog-get loop at boot hits the JIT 'durable read in a
boot loop drops all-but-first' bug — see plans/relations-as-posts.md.)
conformance 291/291, run-picker-check 3/3 (incl. the title filter + paging).

A relation's declares-anchor IS its target-type constraint: is-a/subtype-of (anchored
by type) require a type object; tagged (anchored by tag) a tag; related (no anchor) any
post. host/blog--valid-object?(kind, other) = other ∈ the relation's candidate pool — the
SAME set the picker offers — and relate-submit now enforces it (invalid target = silent
no-op). The picker never offers an invalid target, so this guards crafted/API requests:
the jump from candidate set to an enforced relation schema. A new typed relation needs
only a relation-post + a '<TargetType> declares <rel>' edge.
host/blog-relate! (direct/seed) stays unvalidated — validation is a handler boundary
(the seed writes 'X is-a relation', and relation isn't under type).
conformance 291/291 (+4: valid-object? accepts types/tags/any, relate-submit creates the
edge for a type object and no-ops for a non-type).

is-a/subtype-of/tagged/related are now POSTS (each is-a a new `relation` root),
owning their metadata in a :rel slot {:symmetric :label :inverse-label}. The static
host/blog-rel-kinds registry is gone: kind-spec/rel-kinds/kind-symmetric? read the
relation-posts (via an in-memory cache), and the relation list derives from
host/blog-in "relation" "is-a".
Perform-budget fixes (a durable read inside the http-listen render VM raises
VmSuspended; too many per request 500s the page):
- relation metadata is loaded into a cache at boot (host/blog-load-rel-kinds!,
like load-edges!), so kind-spec is pure on render paths;
- the initial edit page renders its pickers EMPTY (the load trigger fills each) —
only the relate/unrelate FRAGMENT server-renders candidates (with-cands flag).
Previously every edit page render did candidate-get × 4 pickers and 500'd.
host conformance 287/287 (+4 slice-2: kind-spec reads :rel, kind-symmetric? off the
post, unknown kind has no spec, rel-kinds derived from the graph). run-picker-check
3/3 (edit page boots, relate/unrelate flow works, no client errors).

Types declare which relation they anchor (type declares is-a/subtype-of, tag
declares tagged) via a 'declares' edge; the picker's candidate set is the
down-closure of a relation's anchors through is-a ∪ subtype-of. So is-a/subtype-of
now offer the WHOLE type closure — the roots (type/tag/article) AND instances —
fixing the wrinkle where only instances showed and you could never pick 'tag' or
'article' as a type. 'related' has no anchor → every post.
Replaces the hardcoded :candidates "types"/"tags"/"all" with graph queries
(host/blog--reach-down + the declares edges). Design + roadmap (relations as
first-class posts, typed relations, type algebra, constraints) in
plans/relations-as-posts.md.
host conformance 283/283 (+5: is-a pool includes type roots, excludes plain posts,
tagged anchored by tag, related = all, is-a relate-options offers Article).
