Two additions from loops/hs needed for the new WebSocket socket tests:
- unhandledRejection suppressor — synchronous test harness doesn't await RPC promises
- Fake setTimeout/clearTimeout + __hsFlushTimers — drain RPC timeout tests synchronously
Plan update: mark E36 WebSocket as DONE (previously "design-done, pending review").
Skipped: loops/hs's tests/playwright/generate-sx-tests.py — architecture's version
is 1468 lines vs loops/hs's 290; arch's is the further-evolved version.

plans/kernel-on-sx.md — Phase 7 header updated from "partial" to
"env.sx EXTRACTED 2026-05-12"; second-consumer-found checkbox ticked
for env.sx specifically. Other five files (combiner, evaluator,
hygiene, quoting, short-circuit) stay blocked pending their own
second consumers.
plans/lib-guest-reflective.md — Phases 1-3 ticked off with date
stamps; Outcome section added summarising the three commits, file
stats (124 LoC, within 80-200 bound), and the third-consumer
adoption protocol (cfg with five keys, no changes to env.sx).
The kernel-on-sx loop documented six candidate reflective API files
gated on the two-consumer rule. This plan opens that block by
selecting Tcl's existing uplevel/upvar machinery as the second
consumer for env.sx specifically (the highest-fit candidate).
Discovery: Kernel and Tcl have identical scope-chain semantics but
diverge on mutable-vs-functional update. Solution: adapter-cfg
pattern, same as lib/guest/match.sx. Canonical wire shape with
mutable defaults for Kernel; Tcl provides its own cfg keeping
the functional model.
Roadmap: env.sx extracted, both consumers migrated, all tests green.
The other five candidate files (combiner, evaluator, hygiene,
quoting, short-circuit) stay deferred — Tcl has no operatives.
Loop closer documenting what 18 feature commits produced. Kernel-on-SX
is 1,398 LoC substrate + 1,747 LoC tests = 3,145 LoC total. Zero
substrate fixes required across the loop. R-1RK core + extras
implemented. Six proposed lib/guest/reflective/ files awaiting second
consumer. Substrate verdict: env-as-value generalises to
evaluator-as-value; the m-eval demo proves it.
Five type predicates (number?, string?, list?, boolean?, symbol?).
New tests/metacircular.sx: m-eval defined in Kernel walks expressions
itself, recursing on applicative-call args and delegating to host
eval only for operatives and symbol lookup. 14 demo tests.
The demo surfaced a real bug: map/filter/reduce called kernel-combine
on applicative head-vals directly, which re-evaluates already-
evaluated element values; nested-list elements crashed. Fix: extracted
knl-apply-op (unwrap-applicative-or-pass-through) and use it in all
three combinators before kernel-combine. Mirrors apply's approach.
Added knl-apply-op as a proposed entry in the reflective combiner.sx
API. 322 tests total.
apl-inner now wraps its result in (enclose result) when A's ravel
contains any dict element (a boxed array). This matches Hui's
semantics where `1 ⍵ ∨.∧ X` produces a rank-0 wrapping the
(5 5) board, then ⊃ unwraps to bare matrix.
Homogeneous inner product unaffected (+.× over numbers and
matrices still produces bare arrays — none of those ravels
contain dicts).
life.apl restored to true as-written form:
life ← {⊃1 ⍵ ∨.∧ 3 4 = +/ +/ ¯1 0 1 ∘.⊖ ¯1 0 1 ⌽¨ ⊂⍵}
4 pipeline tests + 5 e2e tests verify heterogeneous case and
that ⊃ unwraps to the underlying (5 5) board.
Full suite 589/589. Phase 11 complete.
(apply F (list V1 V2 V3)) ≡ (F V1 V2 V3). Unwrap applicative first to
skip auto-eval (args are values), then kernel-combine with the
underlying operative. Universal pattern in reflective Lisps —
sketched into the combiner.sx API. 296 tests total.
Added kernel-make-primitive-applicative-with-env in eval.sx — IMPL
receives (args dyn-env), needed by combinators that re-enter the
evaluator. map/filter/reduce in runtime.sx use it to call user-supplied
combiners on each element with the caller's dynamic env preserved.
Sketched the env-blind vs env-aware applicative split as a new entry
in the proposed combiner.sx reflective API. 289 tests total.
Standard Kernel control flow. $cond walks clauses in order with `else`
catch-all; clauses past the first match are NOT evaluated. $when/$unless
are simple guards. 12 tests, 242 total.
kernel-quasiquote-operative walks the template via mutually-recursive
knl-quasi-walk ↔ knl-quasi-walk-list. $unquote forms eval in dyn-env;
$unquote-splicing splices list-valued results. No depth tracking
(nested quasiquotes flatten). 8 new tests, 230 total. Sketched the
universal reflective quoting kit API for the eventual Phase 7 extraction.
:body slot holds a LIST of forms now (was single expression). New
knl-eval-body in eval.sx evaluates each form in sequence, returning
the last. $vau and $lambda accept (formals env-param body...) /
(formals body...). No $sequence dependency. 223 tests total.
Parser now reads 'expr, \`expr, ,expr, ,@expr as the four standard
shorthands. Quote uses existing $quote operative; quasiquote /
unquote / unquote-splicing recognised but not yet expanded at runtime
(left for first consumer to drive). 218 tests total across six suites.
Hygiene-by-default was already present: user operatives close over
static-env and bind formals + body $define!s in (extend STATIC-ENV),
caller's env untouched. $let evaluates values in caller env, binds
in fresh child env, runs body there. $define-in! explicitly targets
an env. Full scope-set / frame-stamp hygiene is research-grade
and documented as deferred future work in the reflective API notes.
`dl-set-strategy!` accepted any keyword silently — typos like
`:semi_naive` or `:semiNaive` were stored uninspected and the
saturator then used the default. The user never learned their
setting was wrong.
Validator added: strategy must be one of `:semi-naive`, `:naive`,
`:magic` (the values currently recognised by the saturator and
magic-sets driver). Unknown values raise with a clear message that
lists the accepted set.
1 regression test; conformance 276/276.
