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
- Fix _aser_component children serialization: flatten list results from map
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

EvalError moved to types.py. All 27 files updated to import eval_expr,
trampoline, call_lambda, etc. directly from shared.sx.ref.sx_ref instead
of through the evaluator.py indirection layer. 320/320 spec tests pass.

- evaluator.py: replace 1200 lines of hand-written eval with thin shim
that re-exports from bootstrapped sx_ref.py
- bootstrap_py.py: emit all fn-bodied defines as `def` (not `lambda`),
flatten tail-position if/cond/case/when to if/elif with returns,
fix &rest handling in _emit_define_as_def
- platform_py.py: EvalError imports from evaluator.py so catches work
- __init__.py: remove SX_USE_REF conditional, always use bootstrapped
- tests/run.py: reset render_active after render tests for isolation
- Removes setrecursionlimit(5000) hack — no longer needed with flat code

- Fix qq-expand in eval.sx: use concat+list instead of append to prevent
nested lists from being flattened during quasiquote expansion
- Update append primitive to match spec ("if x is list, concatenate")
- Rebuild sx_ref.py with quasiquote fix
- Make relations.py self-contained: parse defrelation AST directly
without depending on the evaluator (25/25 tests pass)
- Replace hand-written JSEmitter with js.sx self-hosting bootstrapper
- Guard server-only tests in test-eval.sx with runtime check

evaluator.py _sf_lambda used only expr[2] (first body expression) instead
of collecting all body expressions and wrapping in (begin ...) when multiple.
This caused multi-body lambdas to silently discard all but the first expression.
Rebuilt sx_ref.py with --spec-modules deps,router,engine,signals so the
router functions are available from the bootstrapped code. The test runner
already had _load_router_from_bootstrap() but it was falling back to the
hand-written evaluator (which has set! scoping issues) because the router
functions weren't in sx_ref.py. Now 134/134 eval+router tests pass.

Browser always evaluates in render context — _renderMode must be true

- JS platform: add renderActiveP/setRenderActiveB + RENAMES for
render-active?/set-render-active! so eval-list gate works in browser

eval-list only dispatches to the render adapter when render-active? is true.
render-to-html and aser set render-active! on entry. Pure evaluate() calls
no longer stringify component results through the render adapter.
Fixes component children parity: (defcomp ~wrap (&key &rest children) children)
now returns [1,2,3] in eval mode, renders to "123" only in render mode.
Parity: 112/116 pass (remaining 4 are hand-written evaluator.py bugs).

bootstrap_py.py (G0) and run_py_sx.py (G1) now both import static
platform sections from platform_py.py instead of duplicating them.
bootstrap_py.py shrinks from 2287 to 1176 lines — only the PyEmitter
transpiler and build orchestration remain.

- Rename /reactive-islands/ → /reactive/, /reference/ → /hypermedia/reference/,
/examples/ → /hypermedia/examples/ across all .sx and .py files
- Add 404 error page (not-found.sx) working on both server refresh and
client-side SX navigation via orchestration.sx error response handling
- Add trailing slash redirect (GET only, excludes /api/, /static/, /internal/)
- Remove blue sky-500 header bar from SX docs layout (conditional on header-rows)
- Fix 405 on API endpoints from trailing slash redirect hitting POST/PUT/DELETE
- Fix client-side 404: orchestration.sx now swaps error response content
instead of silently dropping it
- Add new plan files and home page component

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
transforms, and signal-bound hypermedia interpretation.

The ~sx-header island now shows the current page path (faded, after
the copyright) inside the copyright lake. Navigate between pages:
the path text updates via server-driven lake morph while the reactive
colour-cycling signal persists. Subtle visible proof of L2-3.
Also fixes Island &key param serialization in component-source helper.

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
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Islands survive hypermedia swaps: morph-node skips hydrated
data-sx-island elements when the same island exists in new content.
dispose-islands-in skips hydrated islands to prevent premature cleanup.
- @client directive: .sx files marked ;; @client send define forms to browser
- CSSX client-side: cssxgroup renamed (no hyphen) to avoid isRenderExpr
matching it as a custom element — was producing [object HTMLElement]
- Island wrappers: div→span to avoid block-in-inline HTML parse breakage
- ~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

- Configurable page shell (~sx-page-shell kwargs + SX_SHELL app config)
so each app controls its own assets — sx docs loads only sx-browser.js
- SX-evaluated sx-on:* handlers (eval-expr instead of new Function)
with DOM primitives registered in PRIMITIVES table
- data-init boot mode for pure SX initialization scripts
- Jiggle animation on links while fetching
- Nav: 3-column grid for centered alignment, is-leaf sizing,
fix map-indexed param order (index, item), guard mod-by-zero
- Async route eval failure now falls back to server fetch
instead of silently rendering nothing
- Remove duplicate h1 title from ~doc-page
- Re-bootstrap sx-ref.js + sx-browser.js

SX-to-JavaScript translator written in SX itself. When executed by the
Python evaluator against the spec files, produces output identical to
the hand-written bootstrap_js.py JSEmitter.
- 1,382 lines, 61 defines
- 431/431 defines match across all 22 spec files (G0 == G1)
- 267 defines in the standard compilation, 151,763 bytes identical
- camelCase mangling, var declarations, function(){} syntax
- Self-tail-recursive optimization (zero-arg → while loops)
- JS-native statement patterns: d[k]=v, arr.push(x), f.name=x

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).

The translation rules are mechanical and apply to all SX forms — HTML tags,
components, macros, islands, page forms. Bootstrapping the spec is the first
test case (fixed-point proof); phases 6-9 extend to full SX compilation.

_build_component_ast parsed SxExpr values back into AST, which
_arender then evaluated as HTML instead of passing through as raw

- 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

- 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).

New top-level Philosophy section in sx-docs. Moved SX Manifesto and Strange

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.

- Rebuild sx-browser.js with signals spec module (was missing entirely)
- Register signal functions (signal, deref, effect, computed, etc.) as
PRIMITIVES so runtime-evaluated SX code in island bodies can call them
- Add reactive deref detection in adapter-dom.sx: (deref sig) in island
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
- Add defisland to _ASER_FORMS in async_eval.py
- Add clear-interval platform primitive (was missing)
- Create four live demo islands: counter, temperature, imperative, stopwatch
