mk: phase 5C — nafc, negation as finite failure

(nafc g) is a three-line primitive: peek the goal's stream for one
answer; if empty, yield (unit s); else mzero. Carries the standard
miniKanren caveats — open-world unsound, diverges on infinite streams.

7 tests: failed-goal-succeeds, successful-goal-fails, double-negation,
conde-all-fail-makes-nafc-succeed, conde-any-success-makes-nafc-fail,
nafc as a guard accepting and blocking.

201/201 cumulative.

 ## Roadmap
 
 ### Phase 1 — variables + unification
-- [ ] `make-var` → fresh logic variable (unique mutable box)
-- [ ] `var?` `v` → bool — is this a logic variable?
-- [ ] `walk` `term` `subst` → follow substitution chain to ground term or unbound var
-- [ ] `walk*` `term` `subst` → deep walk (recurse into lists/dicts)
-- [ ] `unify` `u` `v` `subst` → extended substitution or `#f` (failure)
+- [x] `make-var` → fresh logic variable (unique mutable box)
+- [x] `var?` `v` → bool — is this a logic variable?
+- [x] `walk` `term` `subst` → follow substitution chain to ground term or unbound var
+- [x] `walk*` `term` `subst` → deep walk (recurse into lists/dicts)
+- [x] `unify` `u` `v` `subst` → extended substitution or `#f` (failure)
       Handles: var/var, var/term, term/var, list unification, number/string/symbol equality.
       No occurs check by default; `unify-check` with occurs check as opt-in.
-- [ ] Empty substitution `empty-s` = `(list)` (empty assoc list)
-- [ ] Tests in `lib/minikanren/tests/unify.sx`: ground terms, vars, lists, failure, occurs
+- [x] Empty substitution `empty-s` (dict-based via kit's `empty-subst` — assoc list was a sketch; kit ships dict, kept it)
+- [x] Tests in `lib/minikanren/tests/unify.sx`: ground terms, vars, lists, failure, occurs
 
 ### Phase 2 — streams + goals
-- [ ] Stream type: `mzero` (empty stream = `nil`), `unit s` (singleton = `(list s)`),
-      `mplus` (interleave two streams), `bind` (apply goal to stream)
-- [ ] Lazy streams via `delay`/`force` — mature pairs for depth-first, immature for lazy
-- [ ] `==` goal: `(fn (s) (let ((s2 (unify u v s))) (if s2 (unit s2) mzero)))`
-- [ ] `succeed` / `fail` — trivial goals
-- [ ] `fresh` — `(fn (f) (fn (s) ((f (make-var)) s)))` — introduces one var; `fresh*` for many
-- [ ] `conde` — interleaving disjunction of goal lists
-- [ ] `condu` — committed choice (soft-cut): only explores first successful clause
-- [ ] `onceo` — succeeds at most once
-- [ ] Tests: basic goal composition, backtracking, interleaving
+- [x] Stream type: `mzero` (empty), `unit s` (singleton), `mk-mplus` (interleave),
+      `mk-bind` (apply goal to stream). Names mk-prefixed because SX has a host
+      `bind` primitive that silently shadows user defines.
+- [x] Lazy streams via thunks: a paused stream is a zero-arg fn; mk-mplus suspends
+      and swaps when its left operand is paused, giving fair interleaving.
+- [x] `==` goal: `(fn (s) (let ((s2 (mk-unify u v s))) (if s2 (unit s2) mzero)))`
+- [x] `==-check` — opt-in occurs-checked equality goal
+- [x] `succeed` / `fail` — trivial goals
+- [x] `conj2` / `mk-conj` (variadic) — sequential conjunction
+- [x] `disj2` / `mk-disj` (variadic) — interleaved disjunction (raw — `conde`
+      adds the implicit-conj-per-clause sugar later)
+- [x] `fresh` — introduces logic variables inside a goal body. Implemented as a
+      defmacro: `(fresh (x y) g1 g2 ...)` ⇒ `(let ((x (make-var)) (y (make-var)))
+      (mk-conj g1 g2 ...))`. Also `call-fresh` for programmatic goal building.
+- [x] `conde` — sugar over disj+conj, one row per clause; defmacro that
+      wraps each clause body in `mk-conj` and folds via `mk-disj`. Notes:
+      with eager streams ordering is left-clause-first DFS; true interleaving
+      requires paused thunks (Phase 4 recursive relations).
+- [x] `condu` — committed choice. defmacro folding clauses into a runtime
+      `condu-try` walker; first clause whose head goal yields a non-empty
+      stream commits its first answer, rest-goals run on that single subst.
+- [x] `onceo` — `(stream-take 1 (g s))`; trims a goal's stream to ≤1 answer.
+- [x] Tests: basic goal composition, backtracking, interleaving (110 cumulative)
 
 ### Phase 3 — run + reification
-- [ ] `run*` `goal` → list of all answers (reified)
-- [ ] `run n` `goal` → list of first n answers
-- [ ] `reify` `term` `subst` → replace unbound vars with `_0`, `_1`, ... names
-- [ ] `reify-s` → builds reification substitution for naming unbound vars consistently
-- [ ] `fresh` with multiple variables: `(fresh (x y z) goal)` sugar
-- [ ] Query variable conventions: `q` as canonical query variable
-- [ ] Tests: classic miniKanren programs — `(run* q (== q 1))` → `(1)`,
+- [x] `run*` `goal` → list of all answers (reified). defmacro: bind q-name as
+      fresh var, conj goals, take all from stream, reify each.
+- [x] `run n` `goal` → list of first n answers (defmacro; n = -1 means all)
+- [x] `reify` `term` `subst` → walk* + build reification subst + walk* again
+- [x] `reify-s` → maps each unbound var (in left-to-right walk order) to a
+      `_.N` symbol via `(make-symbol (str "_." n))`
+- [x] `fresh` with multiple variables — already shipped Phase 2B.
+- [x] Query variable conventions: `q` as canonical query variable (matches TRS)
+- [x] Tests: classic miniKanren programs — `(run* q (== q 1))` → `(1)`,
       `(run* q (conde ((== q 1)) ((== q 2))))` → `(1 2)`,
-      Peano arithmetic, `appendo` preview
+      `(run* q (fresh (x y) (== q (list x y))))` → `((_.0 _.1))`. Peano +
+      `appendo` deferred to Phase 4.
 
 ### Phase 4 — standard relations
-- [ ] `appendo` `l` `s` `ls` — list append, runs forwards and backwards
-- [ ] `membero` `x` `l` — x is a member of l
-- [ ] `listo` `l` — l is a proper list
-- [ ] `nullo` `l` — l is empty
-- [ ] `pairo` `p` — p is a pair (cons cell)
-- [ ] `caro` `p` `a` — car of pair
-- [ ] `cdro` `p` `d` — cdr of pair
-- [ ] `conso` `a` `d` `p` — cons
-- [ ] `firsto` / `resto` — aliases for caro/cdro
-- [ ] `reverseo` `l` `r` — reverse of list
-- [ ] `flatteno` `l` `f` — flatten nested lists
-- [ ] `permuteo` `l` `p` — permutation of list
-- [ ] `lengtho` `l` `n` — length as a relation (Peano or integer)
-- [ ] Tests: run each relation forwards and backwards; generate from partial inputs
+- [x] `appendo` `l` `s` `ls` — list append, runs forwards AND backwards.
+      Canary green: `(run* q (appendo (1 2) (3 4) q))` → `((1 2 3 4))`;
+      `(run* q (fresh (l s) (appendo l s (1 2 3)) (== q (list l s))))` →
+      all four splits.
+- [x] `membero` `x` `l` — enumerates: `(run* q (membero q (a b c)))` → `(a b c)`
+- [x] `listo` `l` — l is a proper list; enumerates list shapes with laziness
+- [x] `nullo` `l` — l is empty
+- [x] `pairo` `p` — p is a (non-empty) cons-cell / list
+- [x] `caro` / `cdro` / `conso` / `firsto` / `resto`
+- [x] `reverseo` `l` `r` — reverse of list. Forward is fast; backward is `run 1`-clean,
+      `run*` diverges due to interleaved unbounded list search (canonical TRS issue).
+- [ ] `flatteno` `l` `f` — flatten nested lists (deferred — needs atom predicate)
+- [ ] `permuteo` `l` `p` — permutation of list (deferred to Phase 5 with `matche`)
+- [x] `lengtho` `l` `n` — length as a relation, Peano-encoded:
+      `:z` / `(:s :z)` / `(:s (:s :z))` ... matches TRS. Forward is direct;
+      backward enumerates lists of a given length.
+- [x] Tests: run each relation forwards and backwards (so far 25 in
+      `tests/relations.sx`; reverseo/flatteno/permuteo/lengtho deferred)
 
 ### Phase 5 — `project` + `matche` + negation
-- [ ] `project` `(x ...) body` — access reified values of logic vars inside a goal;
-      escapes to ground values for arithmetic or string ops
+- [x] `project` `(x ...) body` — defmacro: rebinds named vars to `(mk-walk* var s)`
+      in the body's lexical scope, then runs `(mk-conj body...)` on the same
+      substitution. Hygienic via gensym'd `s`-param. (`Phase 5 piece B`)
 - [ ] `matche` — pattern matching over logic terms (extension from core.logic)
       `(matche l ((head . tail) goal) (() goal))`
-- [ ] `conda` — soft-cut disjunction (like Prolog `->`)
-- [ ] `condu` — committed choice (already in phase 2; refine semantics here)
-- [ ] `nafc` — negation as finite failure with constraint
+- [x] `conda` — soft-cut: first non-failing head wins; ALL of head's answers
+      flow through rest-goals; later clauses not tried (`Phase 5 piece A`)
+- [x] `condu` — committed choice (Phase 2)
+- [x] `nafc` — negation as finite failure: `(nafc g)` yields the input subst
+      iff g has zero answers. Standard caveats apply (open-world unsoundness;
+      diverges if g is infinite). `Phase 5 piece C`.
 - [ ] Tests: Zebra puzzle, N-queens, Sudoku via `project`, family relations via `matche`

+    2. `(Zzz g)` wrapped its inner fn in a parameter named `s`, capturing

+       Replaced with `(gensym "zzz-s-")` for hygiene.
+    3. SX cons cells `(:cons h t)` for relational decomposition (so
+       `(conso a d l)` can split a list by head/tail without proper
