dom-parse-html returned body.childNodes — a NodeList, not a Node — so the client
SX render did appendChild(NodeList) and threw "Argument 1 does not implement
interface Node", silently dropping every raw! HTML block (e.g. a post's <article>
body). It surfaced only now because the blog renders fragments client-side
(text/sx) since this session; before, fragments were server HTML so sx-render
never ran on raw!. The error is caught/non-fatal, and the spa-check suite only
asserted the footer + URL behaviour, so it passed through a dropped post body.
- dom-parse-html now returns a DocumentFragment (moves the parsed nodes in): a
real Node, appendChild-able as one unit, and queryable — which also fixes the
already-broken hs-htmx callers that did (dom-query doc ...) / (dom-first-child
doc) on what was a NodeList.
- spa-check: assert #content article is visible after a boosted nav, so a dropped
post body fails the suite (closes the test gap).
- .sxbc regenerated; bundle dom.sx synced to canonical web/lib/dom.sx.
Verified: spa-check 4/4 (incl. the new article assertion).
Clicking a blog link now fragment-swaps #content with URL push + working back
button, no full reload — the SX-htmx engine driving the same OCaml kernel the
server runs. Six bugs in the source-load + boost path, found by bisecting in
chromium, all fixed:
1. Import double-apply (sx_server.ml x2, sx_browser.ml): the import suspension
handlers computed `key = library_name_key lib_spec` then called
`library_loaded_p key` — but library_loaded_p applies library_name_key
itself, so it ran sx_to_list on a string and crashed ("Expected list, got
string"). Only unloaded libs suspend, so it only bit lazy imports. Pass the
spec, not the key.
2. Unloaded-import crash (spec/evaluator.sx + sx_ref.ml library_exports): an
import of a not-yet-loaded library returned nil exports, and bind-import-set
did (keys nil) -> crash. Return an empty dict so the import is a graceful
no-op (lazy symbol resolution covers real usage).
3. value_to_js missing Integer (sx_browser.ml): integers passed to host methods
were mishandled, so dom-query-all's (host-call node-list "item" i) ignored i
and returned node 0 for every index — every element aliased the first, so
only one link ever boosted. Add the Integer -> JS number case.
4. browser-same-origin? rejected relative URLs (browser.sx x2): it only did
(starts-with? url origin), so "/alpha/" was treated as cross-origin and
should-boost-link? refused every relative link. Accept scheme-less,
non-protocol-relative URLs.
5. dom-query-in undefined (orchestration.sx x2): the swap path called a function
that exists nowhere; it's just dom-query with a container arg.
6. Lazy-deps never loaded under source fallback (sx-platform.js): lazy symbol
resolution only fires on the VM GLOBAL_GET path, but source-loaded swap
callbacks run on the CEK and raise instead of lazy-loading, so the post-swap
hs-boot-subtree!/htmx-boot-subtree! were undefined and aborted URL push.
Preload the manifest's lazy-deps.
Verified: native host conformance 271/271; lib/host/playwright/spa-check 4/4
(boot, boost, fragment swap + URL push, back button) in real chromium against an
ephemeral durable host server.
Update test-examples.sx to reference the real path-derived names
(~geography/<domain>/<stem>) instead of short aliases, drop the
alias chains in run_tests.ml, and add marshes/_islands loading so
the migrated one-per-file islands resolve. Fix the try-rerender-page
stub in boot-helpers.sx to accept the 3 args its callers pass.

callable? in boot-helpers.sx checked for "native-fn" but type-of returns
"function" for NativeFn — broke make-spread and all native fn dispatch
in aser. Restore 20 behavioral tests replaced with NOT IMPLEMENTED stubs
by the test regeneration commit. Add host-* platform primitive stubs to
sx_server.ml so boot-helpers.sx loads without errors server-side.

Root cause: process-elements during WASM boot-init marks elements as
processed but process-one silently fails (effect functions don't execute
in WASM boot context). Deferred process-elements then skips them.
Fixes:
- boot-init: defer process-elements via set-timeout 0
- hydrate-island: defer process-elements via set-timeout 0
- process-elements: move mark-processed! after process-one so failed
boot-context calls don't poison the flag
- observe-intersection: native JS platform function (K.registerNative)
to avoid bytecode callback issue with IntersectionObserver
- Remove SX observe-intersection from boot-helpers.sx (was overriding
the working native version)

Browser kernel:
- Add `parse` native fn (matches server: unwrap single, list for multiple)
- Restore env==global_env guard on _env_bind_hook (let bindings must not
leak to _vm_globals — caused JIT CSSX "Not callable: nil" errors)
- Add _env_bind_hook call in env_set_id so set! mutations sync to VM globals
- Fire _vm_global_set_hook from OP_DEFINE so VM defines sync back to CEK env
CEK evaluator:
- Replace recursive cek_run with iterative while loop using sx_truthy
(previous attempt used strict Bool true matching, broke in wasm_of_ocaml)
- Remove dead cek_run_iterative function
Web modules:
- Remove find-matching-route and parse-route-pattern stubs from
boot-helpers.sx that shadowed real implementations from router.sx
- Sync boot-helpers.sx to dist/static dirs for bytecode compilation
Platform (sx-platform.js):
- Set data-sx-ready attribute after boot completes (was only in boot-init
which sx-platform.js doesn't call — it steps through boot manually)
- Add document-level click delegation for a[sx-get] links as workaround
for bytecoded bind-event not attaching per-element listeners (VM closure
issue under investigation — bind-event runs but dom-add-listener calls
don't result in addEventListener)
Tests:
- New test_kernel.js: 24 tests covering env sync, parse, route matching,
host FFI/preventDefault, deep recursion
- New navigation test: "sx-get link fetches SX not HTML and preserves layout"
(currently catches layout breakage after SPA swap — known issue)
Known remaining issues:
- JIT CSSX failures: closure-captured variables resolve to nil in VM bytecode
- SPA content swap via execute-request breaks page layout
- Bytecoded bind-event doesn't attach per-element addEventListener (root
cause unknown — when listen-target guard appears to block despite element
being valid)

Two bugs fixed:
1. Links: bytecode compiler doesn't handle &rest params — treats them as
positional, so (first rest) gets a raw string instead of a list.
Replaced &rest with explicit optional params in all bytecode-compiled
web SX files (dom-query, dom-add-listener, browser-push-state, etc.).
The VM already pads missing args with Nil.
2. Reactive counter: signal-remove-sub! used (filter ...) which returns
immutable List, but signal-add-sub! uses (append!) which only mutates
ListRef. Subscribers silently vanished after first effect re-run.
Fixed by adding remove! primitive that mutates ListRef in-place.
Also:
- Added evalVM API to WASM kernel (compile + run through bytecode VM)
- Added scope tracing (scope-push!/pop!/peek/context instrumentation)
- Added Playwright reactive mode for debugging island signal/DOM state
- Replaced cek-call with direct calls in core-signals.sx effect/computed
- Recompiled all 23 bytecode modules

The sx-get links were doing full page refreshes because click handlers
never attached. Root causes: VM frame management bug, missing primitives,
CEK/VM type dispatch mismatch, and silent error swallowing.
Fixes:
- VM frame exhaustion: frames <- [] now properly pops to rest_frames
- length primitive: add alias for len in OCaml primitives
- call_sx_fn: use sx_call directly instead of eval_expr (CEK checks
for type "lambda" but VmClosure reports "function")
- Boot error surfacing: Sx.init() now has try/catch + failure summary
- Callback error surfacing: catch-all handler for non-Eval_error exceptions
- Silent JIT failures: log before CEK fallback instead of swallowing
- vm→env sync: loadModule now calls sync_vm_to_env()
- sx_build_bytecode MCP tool added for bytecode compilation
Tests: 50 new tests across test-vm.sx and test-vm-primitives.sx covering
nested VM calls, frame integrity, CEK bridge, primitive availability,
cross-module symbol resolution, and callback dispatch.

sx->hypersx transform converts parsed SX to a readable indentation-based
format: CSS selector shorthand (div.card#main), signal sugar (@count,
signal(), :=, <-), string interpolation ("Count: {@count}"), and
structural keywords (when, if, let, map, for).
Implemented as pure SX in web/lib/hypersx.sx, loaded in browser via
js_of_ocaml platform. Added as "hypersx" tab in the tree editor.

- ocaml_sync.py: escape newlines in eval/load_source to prevent
protocol desync (bridge crashed on any multi-line SX)
- Stepper: do-back uses rebuild-preview (O(1) render) instead of
replaying all steps. Hydration effect same. Cookie save on button
click only.
- dom.sx: remove duplicate dom-listen (was shadowing the one at
line 351 that adapter-dom.sx's dom-on wraps)
- orchestration.sx: fix bind-sse-swap close paren count
- safe_eq: Dict equality via __host_handle for DOM node identity
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
adapter-dom.sx defines dom-on as a wrapper around dom-listen (adds
post-render hooks). But dom-listen was never defined — my earlier
dom-on in dom.sx was overwritten by the adapter's version. Rename
to dom-listen so the adapter's dom-on can call it.
This fixes click handlers not firing on island buttons (stepper,
stopwatch, counter, etc.).

Navigation pipeline now works end-to-end:
- outerHTML swap uses dom-replace-child instead of morph-node (morph has
a CEK continuation issue with nested for-each that needs separate fix)
- swap-dom-nodes returns the new element for outerHTML so post-swap
hydrates the correct (new) DOM, not the detached old element
- sx-render uses marker mode: islands rendered as empty span[data-sx-island]
markers, hydrated by post-swap. Prevents duplicate content from island
body expansion + SX response nav rows.
- dispose-island (singular) called on old island before morph, not just
dispose-islands-in (which only disposes sub-islands)
OCaml runtime:
- safe_eq: Dict equality checks __host_handle for DOM node identity
(js_to_value creates new Dict wrappers per call, breaking physical ==)
- contains?: same host handle check
- to_string: trampoline thunks (fixes <thunk> display)
- as_number: trampoline thunks (fixes arithmetic on leaked thunks)
DOM platform:
- dom-remove, dom-attr-list (name/value pairs), dom-child-list (SX list),
dom-is-active-element?, dom-is-input-element?, dom-is-child-of?, dom-on
All 5 reactive-nav Playwright tests pass.

dom-lib and browser-lib were listed in ADAPTER_FILES but never actually
transpiled — their functions only existed as native PLATFORM_*_JS code.
Add them to the build loop so the FFI library wrappers are compiled.
Add hostCall/hostGet/etc. variable aliases for transpiled code, and
console-log to browser.sx for runtime-eval'd SX code.

Introduce 8 irreducible host FFI primitives that replace 40+ native DOM
and browser primitives:
host-global — access global object (window/document)
host-get — read property from host object
host-set! — write property on host object
host-call — call method on host object
host-new — construct host object
host-callback — wrap SX function as host callback
host-typeof — check host object type
host-await — await host promise
All DOM and browser operations are now expressible as SX library
functions built on these 8 primitives:
web/lib/dom.sx — createElement, querySelector, appendChild,
setAttribute, addEventListener, classList, etc.
web/lib/browser.sx — localStorage, history, fetch, setTimeout,
promises, console, matchMedia, etc.
The existing native implementations remain as fallback — the library
versions shadow them in transpiled code. Incremental migration: callers
don't change, only the implementation moves from out-of-band to in-band.
JS 957+1080, Python 744, OCaml 952 — zero regressions.
