1fe53c2032 Add serverless IPFS applications to SX-Activity plan
All checks were successful
Build and Deploy / build-and-deploy (push) Successful in 3m15s
Entire web applications as content-addressed SX on IPFS — no server,
no DNS, no hosting, no deployment pipeline. Server becomes an optional
IO provider, not an application host. The application is the content.

59a8d2063d Expand SX-Activity plan: the evaluable web
Reframe Phase 6 from "ActivityPub but SX" to the full vision: a new web
where content, components, parsers, transforms, server/client logic, and
media all share one executable format on IPFS, sandboxed by boundary
enforcement, with Bitcoin-anchored provenance. Updated context section
and nav summary to match.

624b08997d Add Reader Macros and SX-Activity plans to SX docs
Reader Macros: # dispatch for datum comments (#;), raw strings (#|...|),
and quote shorthand (#').

SX-Activity: ActivityPub federation with SX wire format, IPFS-backed
component registry, content-addressed media, Bitcoin-anchored provenance.

e112bffe5c Add index-of string primitive: spec, Python, JS, rebootstrap
(index-of s needle from?) returns first index of needle in s, or -1.
Optional start offset. Specced in primitives.sx, implemented in both
hand-written primitives.py and bootstrapper templates, rebootstrapped.
