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.

When a spread value (e.g. from ~cssx/tw) appears inside an island with
signal-dependent tokens, reactive-spread tracks deps and updates the
element's class/attrs when signals change. Old classes are surgically
removed, new ones appended, and freshly collected CSS rules are flushed
to the live stylesheet. Multiple reactive spreads on one element are safe.

adapter-dom.sx: if/when/cond reactive paths now check whether
initial-result is a spread. If so, return it directly — spreads
aren't DOM nodes and can't be appended to fragments. This lets
any spread-returning component (like ~cssx/tw) work inside islands
without the spread being silently dropped.
cssx.sx: revert make-spread workaround — the root cause is now
fixed in the adapter. ~cssx/tw can use a natural top-level if.

deps.sx: scan island bodies for component deps (was only scanning
"component" and "macro", missing "island" type). This ensures
~cssx/tw and its dependencies are sent to the client for islands.
cssx.sx: move if inside make-spread arg so it's evaluated by
eval-expr (no reactive wrapping) instead of render-to-dom which
applies reactive-if inside island scope, converting the spread
into a fragment and losing the class attrs.
Added island dep tests at 3 levels: test-deps.sx (spec),
test_deps.py (Python), test_parity.py (ref vs fallback).
sx-browser.js: temporary debug logging at spread detection points.

Islands render independently on the client, so ~cssx/tw calls
collect!("cssx", rule) but no ~cssx/flush runs. Add flush-cssx-to-dom
in boot.sx that injects collected rules into a persistent <style>
element in <head>.
Called at all lifecycle points: boot-init, sx-mount, resolve-suspense,
post-swap (navigation morph), and swap-rendered-content (client routes).

The previous fix only guarded domAppend/domInsertAfter, but many
platform JS functions (asyncRenderChildren, asyncRenderElement,
asyncRenderMap, render, sxRenderWithEnv) call appendChild directly.
Add _spread guards to all direct appendChild sites. For async element
rendering, merge spread attrs onto parent (class/style join, others
overwrite) matching the sync adapter behavior.

Spread values (from ~cssx/tw etc.) are attribute dicts, not DOM nodes.
When they appear in non-element contexts (fragments, islands, lakes,
reactive branches), they must not be passed to appendChild/insertBefore.
Add _spread guard to platform domAppend and domInsertAfter — fixes
TypeError: Node.appendChild: Argument 1 does not implement interface Node.

Spread values returned by components like ~cssx/tw are not DOM nodes
and cannot be passed to appendChild. Filter them in fragment, let,
begin/do, component children, and data list rendering paths — matching
the HTML adapter's existing spread filtering.

Four new primitives for scoped downward value passing and upward
accumulation through the render tree. Specced in .sx, bootstrapped
to Python and JS across all adapters (eval, html, sx, dom, async).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
New SX primitives for child-to-parent communication in the render tree:
- spread type: make-spread, spread?, spread-attrs — child injects attrs
onto parent element (class joins with space, style with semicolon)
- collect!/collected/clear-collected! — render-time accumulation with
dedup into named buckets
~cssx/tw is now a proper defcomp returning a spread value instead of a
macro wrapping children. ~cssx/flush reads collected "cssx" rules and
emits a single <style data-cssx> tag.
All four render adapters (html, async, dom, aser) handle spread values.
Both bootstraps (Python + JS) regenerated. Also fixes length→len in
cssx.sx (length was never a registered primitive).

Add url-to-expr, auto-quote-unknowns, prepare-url-expr to router.sx —
the canonical URL-to-expression pipeline. Dots→spaces, parse, then
auto-quote unknown symbols as strings (slugs). The same spec serves
both server (Python) and client (JS) route handling.
- router.sx: three new pure functions for URL evaluation
- bootstrap_py.py: auto-include router module with html adapter
- platform_js.py: export urlToExpr/autoQuoteUnknowns/prepareUrlExpr
- sx_router.py: replace hand-written auto_quote_slugs with bootstrapped
prepare_url_expr — delete ~50 lines of hardcoded function name sets
- Rebootstrap sx_ref.py (4331 lines) and sx-browser.js

The dep scanner regex only matched [a-zA-Z0-9_-] in component names,

Extends router.sx with the full SX URL algebra — structural navigation
(.slug, .., ...), keyword set/delta (.:page.4, .:page.+1), bare-dot
shorthand, and ! special form parsing (!source, !inspect, !diff, !search,
!raw, !json). All pure SX spec, bootstrapped to both Python and JS.
Fixes: index-of -1/nil portability (_index-of-safe wrapper), variadic
(+ a b c) transpilation bug (use nested binary +). Includes 115 passing
tests covering all operations. Also: "The" strapline and essay title.

Add sx-url-to-path to router.sx that converts SX expression URLs to
old-style slash paths for route matching. find-matching-route now
transparently handles both formats — the browser URL stays as the SX
expression while matching uses the equivalent old-style path.
/(language.(doc.introduction)) → /language/docs/introduction for matching
but pushState keeps the SX URL in the browser bar.
- router.sx: add _fn-to-segment (doc→docs, etc.), sx-url-to-path
- router.sx: modify find-matching-route to convert SX URLs before matching
- Rebootstrap sx-browser.js and sx_ref.py

Phase 6 — deftype: named type aliases, unions, records, and parameterized
types. Type definitions stored as plain dicts in *type-registry*. Includes
resolve-type for named type resolution, substitute-type-vars for
parameterized instantiation, subtype-resolved? for structural record
subtyping, and infer-type extension for record field type inference via get.
Phase 7 — defeffect: static effect annotations. Effects stored in
*effect-registry* and *effect-annotations*. Supports :effects keyword on
defcomp and define. Gradual: unannotated = all effects, empty list = pure.
check-body-walk validates effect containment at call sites.
Standard types defined: (maybe a), type-def, diagnostic, prim-param-sig.
Standard effects declared: io, mutation, render.
84/84 type system tests pass. Both Python and JS bootstrappers succeed.

Extend the type annotation system from defcomp-only to fn/lambda params:
- Infrastructure: sf-lambda, py/js-collect-params-loop, and bootstrap_py.py
now recognize (name :as type) in param lists, extracting just the name
- bootstrap_py.py: add _extract_param_name() helper, fix _emit_for_each_stmt
- 521 type annotations across 22 .sx spec files (eval, types, adapters,
transpilers, engine, orchestration, deps, signals, router, prove, etc.)
- Zero behavioral change: annotations are metadata for static analysis only
- All bootstrappers (Python, JS, G1) pass, 81/81 spec tests pass

New hierarchy: Geography (Reactive Islands, Hypermedia Lakes, Marshes,
Isomorphism), Language (Docs, Specs, Bootstrappers, Testing),
Applications (CSSX, Protocols), Etc (Essays, Philosophy, Plans).
All routes updated to match: /reactive/* → /geography/reactive/*,
/docs/* → /language/docs/*, /essays/* → /etc/essays/*, etc.
Updates nav-data.sx, all defpage routes, API endpoints, internal links
across 43 files. Enhanced find-nav-match for nested group resolution.
Also includes: page-helpers-demo sf-total fix (reduce instead of set!),
rebootstrapped sx-browser.js and sx_ref.py, defensive slice/rest guards.

parse-comp-params now recognizes (name :as type) — a 3-element list
with :as keyword separator. Type annotations are stored on the
Component via component-param-types and used by types.sx for call-site

The cond special form misclassified Clojure-style as scheme-style when
the first test was a 2-element list like (nil? x) — treating it as a
scheme clause ((test body)) instead of a function call. Define
cond-scheme? using every? to check ALL clauses, fix eval.sx sf-cond and
render.sx eval-cond, rewrite engine.sx parse-time/filter-params as
nested if to avoid the ambiguity, add regression tests across eval/
render/aser specs. 378/378 tests pass.

Two bugs fixed:
1. process-bindings used merge(env) which returns {} for Env objects
(Env is not a dict subclass). Changed to env-extend in render.sx
and adapter-async.sx. This caused "Undefined symbol: theme" etc.
2. async-aser-eval-call passed evaled-args list to async-invoke(&rest),
double-wrapping it. Changed to inline apply + coroutine check.
Also: bootstrap define-async into sx_ref.py (Phase 6), replace ~1000 LOC
hand-written async_eval_ref.py with 24-line thin re-export shim.
Test runner now uses Env (not flat dict) for render envs to catch scope bugs.
8 new regression tests (4 scope chain, 2 native callable arity, 2 render).

The sync aser-call in adapter-sx.sx didn't flatten list results from
map/filter in positional children — serialize(list) wrapped in parens
creating ((div ...) ...) which re-parses as an invalid call. Rewrote
aser-call from reduce to for-each (bootstrapper can't nest for-each
inside reduce lambdas) and added list flattening in both aser-call
and aser-fragment.
Also adds test-aser.sx (41 tests), render-sx platform function,
expanded test-render.sx (+7 map/filter children tests), and specs
async-eval-slot-inner in adapter-async.sx.

- Add page-helpers-demo page with defisland ~demo-client-runner (pure SX,
zero JS files) showing spec functions running on both server and client

instead of serialize(list) which wraps in parens creating ((div ...) ...)
that re-parses as invalid function call. Fixed in adapter-async.sx spec
and async_eval_ref.py
- Switch _eval_slot to use async_eval_ref.py when SX_USE_REF=1 (was
hardcoded to async_eval.py)
- Add Island type support to async_eval_ref.py: import, SSR rendering,
aser dispatch, thread-first, defisland in _ASER_FORMS
- Add server affinity check: components with :affinity :server expand
even when _expand_components is False
- Add diagnostic _aser_stack context to EvalError messages
- New spec files: adapter-async.sx, page-helpers.sx, platform_js.py
- Bootstrappers: page-helpers module support, performance.now() timing
- 0-arity lambda event handler fix in adapter-dom.sx

Client-rendered islands were re-hydrated by boot.sx because
renderDomIsland didn't mark them as processed. Hydration read
empty data-sx-state, overwriting kwargs (e.g. path) with NIL.
Fix: mark-processed! in adapter-dom.sx so boot skips them.
New plan: marshes — where reactivity and hypermedia interpenetrate.
Three patterns: server writes to signals, reactive marsh zones with

Lake tag (lake :id "name" children...) creates server-morphable slots
within islands. During morph, the engine enters hydrated islands and
updates data-sx-lake elements by ID while preserving surrounding
reactive DOM (signals, effects, event listeners).
Specced in .sx, bootstrapped to JS and Python:
- adapter-dom.sx: render-dom-lake, reactive-attr marks data-sx-reactive-attrs
- adapter-html.sx: render-html-lake SSR output
- adapter-sx.sx: lake serialized in wire format
- engine.sx: morph-island-children (lake-by-ID matching),
sync-attrs skips reactive attributes
- ~sx-header uses lakes for logo and copyright
- Hegelian essay updated with lake code example
Also includes: lambda nil-padding for missing args, page env ordering fix

- @client directive: .sx files marked ;; @client send define forms to browser
- CSSX client-side: cssxgroup renamed (no hyphen) to avoid isRenderExpr

- ~sx-header is now a defisland with inline reactive colour cycling
- bootstrap_js.py defaults output to shared/static/scripts/sx-browser.js
- Deleted stale sx-ref.js (sx-browser.js is the canonical browser build)
- Hegelian Synthesis essay: dialectic of hypertext and reactivity

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.
