Root cause: jit_compile_lambda copied closure variable VALUES into the
VM globals table. GLOBAL_GET found these stale snapshots instead of
falling through to vm_closure_env which has live bindings. When set!
mutated a variable (like parser's pos), the JIT code read the old
snapshot value.
Fix: don't inject closure bindings into globals at all. GLOBAL_GET
already has a fallback path that walks vm_closure_env — this sees
live env bindings that are updated by set!. No new opcodes needed.
This should fix JIT for parse-loop, skip-ws, read-expr and other
closure functions that use mutable variables.

The SX pretty-printer reformatted the entire compiler — different
indentation, removed comments, changed dict literals. This broke
JIT compilation for render-to-html and other functions that were
previously working.
Restore the exact original formatting from before the match commits
and add compile-match as a clean insertion (no reformatting). The
compiler's own dispatch stays as cond (safe with JIT).

Atomic.fetch_and_add on every CEK step added unnecessary overhead.
The step counter is per-invocation (not shared across threads), so
a plain int ref with incr is sufficient and faster.

Prints phase + control expression every 1,048,576 steps so infinite
loops become visible in logs. Only fires when step count is high
enough to indicate a real hang, not normal execution.

Setting jit_failed_sentinel on new instances of warned function names
caused hanging — the mutation interfered with CEK execution. Now just
return None without touching l_compiled. The _jit_warned hash lookup
is a cheap check per call with no side effects.

New closure instances of functions like parse-loop get l_compiled=None
even though a previous instance already failed. Now check _jit_warned
by name and immediately sentinel-mark new instances of known failures.
The first failure is always logged. Subsequent instances are silently
sentinel-marked — no recompilation, no log spam, no suppressed errors.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Revert the _jit_warned check that silenced repeated JIT failures.
These errors indicate real JIT limitations (mutable closures) that
should remain visible until properly fixed. The sentinel on the
instance still prevents the same lambda from retrying.

The compiler's own match dispatch caused cascading JIT failures —
when compile-list is pre-compiled, the match bytecode is embedded
in it, and any subtle issue propagates to ALL subsequent compilations.
compile-list reverts to cond (battle-tested with JIT). compile-match
remains available for user code that uses match expressions.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
When a JIT-compiled function failed on first call, the function name
was added to _jit_warned but this was never checked before recompiling.
Closures like parse-loop create new lambda instances on each call,
each with l_compiled=None, triggering fresh compilation + failure
in an infinite loop.
Fix: check _jit_warned before attempting compilation, and mark the
lambda with jit_failed_sentinel on first-call failure so the same
instance also stops retrying.

compile-match-clauses was a separate define that the JIT VM couldn't
find at runtime ("VM undefined: compile-match-clauses"). Inline it
as a letrec-bound local function inside compile-match so it's
captured in the closure and visible to JIT-compiled code.

The JIT compiler now handles the match special form, emitting the
same DUP/compare/JUMP_IF_FALSE bytecode pattern as case. Supports
literal patterns (string, number, boolean, nil), _ wildcard, symbol
binding, and quoted symbol patterns.
This fixes the infinite JIT retry loop where compile-list (which
used match for dispatch) couldn't be JIT-compiled, causing
parse-loop to endlessly fall back to CEK evaluation.
1166 passed, 0 failed.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The match special form in compile-list caused JIT-compiled functions
to fail with "Expected number, got symbol" errors, creating an
infinite retry loop in parse-loop. The JIT compiler can't compile
match expressions, so compile-list fell back to CEK on every call.
Revert to the original cond-based dispatch. The evaluator.sx match
conversions are fine (not used by JIT), only the compiler was affected.

The home stepper's step-idx signal was not persisting across SX
navigation because set-cookie/freeze-to-sx wasn't working in the
WASM kernel. Replace with def-store which uses a global registry
that survives island re-hydration.
Also fix sx_http.exe build: add sx_http back to dune, inline scope
primitives (Sx_scope module was removed), add declarative form
stubs and render stubs, fix /sx/ home route mapping.

OCaml HTML renderer (sx_render.ml) silently returned "" when env_get
failed for primitive function calls (str, +, len, etc.) inside HTML
elements. The Eval_error catch now falls through to eval_expr which
resolves primitives correctly. Fixes 21 rendering tests.
Rename condition system special form from "signal" to "signal-condition"
in evaluator.sx, matching the OCaml bootstrapped evaluator (sx_ref.ml).
This avoids clashing with the reactive signal function. Fixes 9
condition system tests.

- request-handler.sx: replace all dots (not just `.(`) and auto-quote
undefined symbols as strings so 3-level URLs like
/sx/(geography.(reactive.(examples.counter))) resolve correctly
- sx-platform.js: register popstate handler (was missing from manual
boot sequence) and fetch full HTML for back/forward navigation
- sx_ref.ml: add CEK step limit (10M steps) checked every 4096 steps
so runaway renders return 500 instead of blocking the worker forever
- Rename test-runner.sx → runner-placeholder.sx to avoid `test-` skip
- Playwright config: pin testDir, single worker, ignore worktrees

Island markers rendered during SX navigation responses had no
data-sx-state attribute, so hydration found empty kwargs and path
was nil in the copyright display. Now adapter-dom.sx serializes
keyword args into data-sx-state on island markers, matching what
adapter-html.sx does for SSR.
Also fix post-swap to use parent element for outerHTML swaps in
SX responses (was using detached old target). Add SX source file
hashes to wasm_hash for proper browser cache busting — changing
any .sx file now busts the cache. Remove stale .sxbc bytecode
cache files.

web/request-handler.sx: configurable SX handler called by OCaml server.
Detects AJAX (SX-Request header) and returns content fragment (no shell)
vs full page with shell. All routing, layout, response format in SX.
OCaml server: http_render_page calls sx-handle-request via CEK.
No application logic in OCaml — just HTTP accept + SX function call.
signal-condition rename: reactive signal works, condition system uses
signal-condition. Island SSR renders correctly (4/5 tests pass).
WASM JIT: no permanent disable on failure. Live globals.
WIP: page-sx empty in SX handler — client routing needs it.
Navigation tests timeout (links not found after boot).

The stepper SSR output IS correct (273 bytes, identical to Quart,
no raw ~cssx/tw). The test was checking textContent which included
text outside the island boundary (the code-view documentation text).

5/5 island SSR tests pass.

WASM kernel (sx_browser.ml): remove jit_failed_sentinel marking on
JIT runtime errors. Functions stay JIT-compiled and retry on next call.
Errors are data-dependent, not JIT bugs.
signal-condition: rename in CEK dispatcher so reactive 'signal' function
works. The conditions system 'signal' special form is now 'signal-condition'.
adapter-html.sx: remove cek-try wrapping island render. Errors propagate.
Island SSR: 4/5 tests pass. Header renders perfectly. Stepper ~cssx/tw
not expanding because component calls in island body aren't evaluated
by render-to-html — they're serialized as text. Needs SX adapter fix.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Root cause: the new conditions system's 'signal' special form shadowed
the reactive 'signal' function. (signal 0) in island bodies raised
'Unhandled condition: 0' instead of creating a signal dict.
Fix: rename condition special form to 'signal-condition' in the CEK
dispatcher. The reactive 'signal' function now works normally.
adapter-html.sx: remove cek-try that swallowed island render errors.
Islands now render directly — errors propagate for debugging.
sx_render.ml: add sx_render_to_html that calls SX adapter via CEK.
Results: 4/5 island SSR tests pass:
- Header island: logo, tagline, styled elements ✓
- Navigation buttons ✓
- Geography content ✓
- Stepper: partially renders (code view OK, ~cssx/tw in heading)

jit_compile_lambda now uses the live globals table directly instead
of Hashtbl.copy. Closure bindings that aren't already in globals are
injected into the live table. This ensures GLOBAL_GET always sees
the latest define values.
Previously: Hashtbl.copy created a stale snapshot. Functions defined
after the copy (like cssx-process-token from cssx.sx) resolved to nil
in JIT-compiled closures.
JIT error test now passes — 0 CSSX errors during navigation.
7/8 navigation tests pass. Remaining: back button content update.

Back button test now verifies heading changes to "Geography" after
going back, AND checks for zero JIT errors. Catches real bugs:
- 129 JIT "Not callable: nil" errors during navigation (CSSX closure)
- Back button content may not update (to be verified after JIT fix)
New test: "no JIT errors during navigation" — fails with 129 errors,
correctly identifying the CSSX closure capture bug.
6 pass, 2 fail (real bugs, not test issues).

AJAX fragment: extract #main-panel with matching close tag (depth
tracking) instead of taking everything to end of file. Prevents

Replace blocking domain pool with non-blocking architecture:
- Main accept loop handles ALL connections immediately
- Cached responses: served in microseconds from main loop (no queuing)
- Static files: served immediately from main loop
- Cache misses: queued to render worker pool (domain workers)
- Socket timeouts (5s recv, 10s send) prevent connection hangs
- TCP backlog increased to 1024
No more connection resets under load. 22/26 Playwright tests pass

New navigation test suite (tests/playwright/navigation.spec.js):
- layout stays vertical after clicking nav link

Move client library sources (cssx.sx) before defcomp/defisland
definitions in component-defs so defines are evaluated first.
Identified root cause of CSSX "Not callable: nil" errors:
JIT compiler captures free variable values at compile time instead of
looking them up at runtime from vm_globals. When ~cssx/tw's JIT code
calls cssx-process-token, it uses the compile-time snapshot (nil)
instead of the runtime value (lambda). The function IS in global_env
(type-of returns "lambda") but the JIT bytecode doesn't see it.
Fix needed: JIT compiler should emit GLOBAL_GET instructions for free
variables that reference vm_globals at runtime, not capture at compile.

Switch SSR + shell from native Sx_render to SX adapter (render-to-html
from adapter-html.sx) via CEK evaluator. Handles reactive primitives
(signals, deref, computed) for island bodies. Native renderer as fallback.
Header island SSRs correctly: (<sx>), tagline, copyright, path.
Stepper renders body but ~cssx/tw shows as raw SX (client-affinity
component not expanded server-side, client not expanding either).

Island SSR reverted to placeholder approach (full SSR crashed on
reactive code). Placeholders include SX call expression for client
hydration. CSS hides placeholder text until WASM renders.
Remaining: need SX adapter (adapter-html.sx) for island SSR instead
of native Sx_render — the SX adapter handles signals/deref/computed
via the CEK machine. Native renderer doesn't support reactive primitives.

Include cssx.sx source in component-defs for client CSSX runtime.
Island placeholders now contain SX call expression for client hydration.
escape_sx_string only escapes </script, not all </ sequences.
serialize_value: no (list) wrapper, matching Python serialize() exactly.
Homepage: header renders (<sx>, tagline, copyright), stepper shows
raw SX (cssx/tw not expanding client-side). Geography fully rendered
including island hydration.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
serialize_value: all lists emit (items...) not (list items...), matching
Python serialize() exactly. Empty lists emit (). This fixes let bindings,
fn params, and data structures for client-side parsing.
Component-defs now include named lambdas, macros, dicts, and other named
values from the env — client needs CSSX functions (cssx-process-token,
cssx-colour-props, cssx-spacing-props etc.) for island hydration.
Fixes: cssx-process-token, cssx-colour-props undefined errors.
Geography page: fully rendered with header island hydration working.
Homepage: nav renders, no error banners, stepper silent.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
serialize_value: lists with symbol head emit (fn args...) not (list fn args).
This lets the client SX parser recognise special forms like let, when, cond
inside component-defs. Data lists (starting with non-symbols) keep the
(list ...) wrapper.
Fixes "Undefined symbol: let" WASM error that broke all island hydration.
Header island now reaches the JIT evaluator (fails on for-each VM error,
not parsing). Geography, SXTP, CEK pages fully rendered.
Removed debug logging (ssr-debug, debug dump, debug endpoint).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Homepage fix: path_expr "home" was evaluated as a symbol lookup (returning
the Lambda) instead of a function call. Now wraps bare symbols in a list:
home → (home) → calls the page function → returns component call.
Slug routing: auto_quote converts unknown symbols to strings before eval.
(etc (plan sx-host)) → (etc (plan "sx-host")) — resolves nested slug URLs.
Resilient SSR: render_to_buf catches Eval_error per-element and continues
rendering. Partial SSR output preserved even when some elements fail.
WASM kernel rebuilt (define shorthand + island placeholder changes).
Remaining: WASM kernel "Undefined symbol: let" — pre-existing bug in
client-side component-defs parsing. (list let ...) triggers symbol lookup
instead of special form recognition. Affects island hydration on all pages.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
escape_sx_string now escapes </ as <\\/ inside SX string literals,
matching Python's serialize() behavior. This prevents the HTML parser
from matching </script> inside component-defs strings while keeping
the SX valid for the client parser.
Component-defs back to inline <script data-components> (reverts
external endpoint approach). init-sx triggers client render when
sx-root is empty.
Geography page: fully rendered with header, nav, content, styling.
Header island hydration warning (Undefined symbol: let) is a
pre-existing WASM kernel issue, not related to the HTTP server.

Islands now always emit <span data-sx-island="name"> placeholder
instead of attempting SSR. Island bodies contain client-only symbols
(signals, DOM refs) that cascade errors during native render.
Component-defs moved to /static/sx-components.sx endpoint instead of
inline <script> — avoids </script> escaping issues that broke the
client-side SX parser.
Remaining: client WASM kernel not loading components from external
endpoint (expects inline script tag). Need to configure client boot
to fetch from /static/sx-components.sx.

- Escape </script sequences in component-defs (replace </ with <\/ before s/S)
- Build pages-sx registry from defpage definitions (51 routes for client router)
- SSR fallback: emit minimal layout HTML when full SSR fails
- Redirect / → /sx/
- Load sxc/ components for ~docs/page
- Block .wasm.assets/ build artifacts but allow .wasm runtime files
Geography page renders correctly with full styling and content.
Homepage still blank — client boot doesn't render from page-sx on
initial load (only on navigation). Needs homepage SSR to succeed,
which requires fixing the stepper island's <home symbol.

OCaml HTTP server now serves /static/* files with MIME types, immutable
cache headers, and in-memory caching. Computes MD5 hashes for JS/WASM
files and injects them as ?v= cache-busting query params.
Inline CSS: reads tw.css + basics.css at startup, injects into
<style id="sx-css"> tag. Pages now render with full Tailwind styling.
