tcl: merge loops/tcl — complete Tcl 8.6 subset (329 tests)

Phases 1-6: Dodekalogue tokenizer/parser, eval engine, expr mini-language,
string/list/dict commands, proc + uplevel/upvar (the headline showcase),
catch/try/throw, namespaces + ensembles, generator coroutines, idiom corpus.

Resolved add/add conflicts by taking loops/tcl (the complete tested impl)
over the architecture branch's earlier prototype.

+- **Hyperscript bridge is NOT blocked:** `lib/prolog/hs-bridge.sx` already exists and `lib/hyperscript/runtime.sx` already exports `hs-set-prolog-hook!` / `hs-prolog-hook`. The Phase 5 DSL item just needs tests and wiring.
 - **NEVER call `sx_build`.** 600s watchdog will kill you before OCaml finishes. If sx_server binary is broken, add Blockers entry and stop.
 - **Shared-file issues** → plan's Blockers section with a minimal repro. Don't fix them.
 - **Delimited continuations** are in `lib/callcc.sx` + `spec/evaluator.sx` Step 5 (IO suspension via `perform`/`cek-resume`). `sx_summarise` spec/evaluator.sx first — it's 2300+ lines.
 - **SX files:** `sx-tree` MCP tools ONLY. `sx_validate` after edits. Never `Edit`/`Read`/`Write` on `.sx`.
-- **Worktree:** commit locally. Never push. Never touch `main`.
+- **Worktree:** commit, then push to `origin/loops/prolog`. Never touch `main`.
 - **Commit granularity:** one feature per commit.

 ## Roadmap
 
 ### Phase 1 — reader + parser
-- [ ] Tokenizer: symbols (with package qualification `pkg:sym` / `pkg::sym`), numbers (int, float, ratio `1/3`, `#xFF`, `#b1010`, `#o17`), strings `"…"` with `\` escapes, characters `#\Space` `#\Newline` `#\a`, comments `;`, block comments `#| … |#`
-- [ ] Reader: list, dotted pair, quote `'`, function `#'`, quasiquote `` ` ``, unquote `,`, splice `,@`, vector `#(…)`, uninterned `#:foo`, nil/t literals
-- [ ] Parser: lambda lists with `&optional` `&rest` `&key` `&aux` `&allow-other-keys`, defaults, supplied-p variables
-- [ ] Unit tests in `lib/common-lisp/tests/read.sx`

+# Datalog-on-SX: Datalog on the CEK/VM
+
+Datalog is a declarative query language: a restricted subset of Prolog with no function
+symbols, only relations. Programs are sets of facts and rules; queries ask what follows.
+Evaluation is bottom-up (fixpoint iteration) rather than Prolog's top-down DFS — which
+means no infinite loops, guaranteed termination, and efficient incremental updates.
+
+The unique angle: Datalog is a natural companion to the Prolog implementation already in
+progress (`lib/prolog/`). The parser and term representation can share infrastructure;
+the evaluator is an entirely different fixpoint engine rather than a DFS solver.
+
+End-state goal: **full core Datalog** (facts, rules, stratified negation, aggregation,
+recursion) with a clean SX query API, and a demonstration of Datalog as a query engine
+for rose-ash data (e.g. federation graph, content relationships).
+
+## Ground rules
+
+- **Scope:** only touch `lib/datalog/**` and `plans/datalog-on-sx.md`. Do **not** edit
+  `spec/`, `hosts/`, `shared/`, `lib/prolog/**`, or other `lib/<lang>/`.
+- **Shared-file issues** go under "Blockers" below with a minimal repro; do not fix here.
+- **SX files:** use `sx-tree` MCP tools only.
+- **Architecture:** Datalog source → term AST → fixpoint evaluator. No transpiler to SX AST —
+  the evaluator is written in SX and works directly on term structures.
+- **Reference:** Ramakrishnan & Ullman "A Survey of Deductive Database Systems";
+  Dalmau "Datalog and Constraint Satisfaction".
+- **Commits:** one feature per commit. Keep `## Progress log` updated and tick boxes.

+
+Key differences from Prolog:
+- **No function symbols** — args are atoms, numbers, strings, or variables only. No `f(a,b)`.
+- **No cuts** — no procedural control.
+- **Bottom-up** — derive all consequences of all rules before answering; no search tree.
+- **Termination guaranteed** — no infinite derivation chains (no function symbols → finite Herbrand base).
+- **Stratified negation** — `not(P)` legal iff P does not recursively depend on its own negation.
+- **Aggregation** — `count`, `sum`, `min`, `max` over derived tuples (Datalog+).
+
+## Roadmap
+
+### Phase 1 — tokenizer + parser
+- [ ] Tokenizer: atoms (lowercase/quoted), variables (uppercase/`_`), numbers, strings,
+      operators (`:- `, `?-`, `,`, `.`), comments (`%`, `/* */`)
+      Note: no function symbol syntax (no nested `f(...)` in arg position).
+- [ ] Parser:
+      - Facts: `parent(tom, bob).` → `{:head (parent tom bob) :body ()}`
+      - Rules: `ancestor(X,Z) :- parent(X,Y), ancestor(Y,Z).`
+              → `{:head (ancestor X Z) :body ((parent X Y) (ancestor Y Z))}`
+      - Queries: `?- ancestor(tom, X).` → `{:query (ancestor tom X)}`
+      - Negation: `not(parent(X,Y))` in body position → `{:neg (parent X Y)}`
+- [ ] Tests in `lib/datalog/tests/parse.sx`
+
+### Phase 2 — unification + substitution
+- [ ] Share or port unification from `lib/prolog/` — term walk, occurs check off by default
+- [ ] `dl-unify` `t1` `t2` `subst` → extended subst or nil (no function symbols means simpler)
+- [ ] `dl-ground?` `term` → bool — all variables bound in substitution
+- [ ] Tests: atom/atom, var/atom, var/var, list args
+
+### Phase 3 — extensional DB + naive evaluation
+- [ ] EDB: `{:relation-name → set-of-ground-tuples}` using SX sets (Phase 18 of primitives)
+- [ ] `dl-add-fact!` `db` `relation` `args` → add ground tuple
+- [ ] `dl-add-rule!` `db` `head` `body` → add rule clause
+- [ ] Naive evaluation: iterate rules until fixpoint
+      For each rule, for each combination of body tuples that unify, derive head tuple.
+      Repeat until no new tuples added.
+- [ ] `dl-query` `db` `goal` → list of substitutions satisfying goal against derived DB
+- [ ] Tests: transitive closure (ancestor), sibling, same-generation — classic Datalog programs
+
+### Phase 4 — semi-naive evaluation (performance)
+- [ ] Delta sets: track newly derived tuples per iteration
+- [ ] Semi-naive rule: only join against delta tuples from last iteration, not full relation
+- [ ] Significant speedup for recursive rules — avoids re-deriving known tuples
+- [ ] `dl-stratify` `db` → dependency graph + SCC analysis → stratum ordering
+- [ ] Tests: verify semi-naive produces same results as naive; benchmark on large ancestor chain
+
+### Phase 5 — stratified negation
+- [ ] Dependency graph analysis: which relations depend on which (positively or negatively)
+- [ ] Stratification check: error if negation is in a cycle (non-stratifiable program)
+- [ ] Evaluation: process strata in order — lower stratum fully computed before using its
+      complement in a higher stratum
+- [ ] `not(P)` in rule body: at evaluation time, check P is NOT in the derived EDB
+- [ ] Tests: non-member (`not(member(X,L))`), colored-graph (`not(same-color(X,Y))`),
+      stratification error detection
+
+### Phase 6 — aggregation (Datalog+)
+- [ ] `count(X, Goal)` → number of distinct X satisfying Goal
+- [ ] `sum(X, Goal)` → sum of X values satisfying Goal
+- [ ] `min(X, Goal)` / `max(X, Goal)` → min/max of X satisfying Goal
+- [ ] `group-by` semantics: `count(X, sibling(bob, X))` → count of bob's siblings
+- [ ] Aggregation breaks stratification — evaluate in a separate post-fixpoint pass

+# F-Breakpoint — `breakpoint` command (+2)
+
+**Suite:** `hs-upstream-breakpoint`  
+**Target:** Both tests are `SKIP (untranslated)`.
+
+## 1. The 2 tests
+
+- `parses as a top-level command`
+- `parses inside an event handler`
+
+Both are untranslated — no test body exists. The test names say "parses" — these are parser tests, not runtime tests.
+
+## 2. What upstream checks
+
+From `test/core/breakpoint.js`:
+
+```js
+it('parses as a top-level command', () => {
+  expect(() => _hyperscript.evaluate("breakpoint")).not.toThrow();
+});
+it('parses inside an event handler', () => {
+  const el = document.createElement('div');
+  el.setAttribute('_', 'on click breakpoint');
+  expect(() => _hyperscript.processNode(el)).not.toThrow();
+});
+```
+
+Both tests verify that `breakpoint` is accepted by the parser without throwing. Neither test checks that the debugger actually fires. `breakpoint` is a no-op command in production builds — it calls `debugger` in JS, which is a no-op when devtools are closed.
+
+## 3. What's needed
+
+### Parser (`lib/hyperscript/parser.sx`)
+
+Add `breakpoint` to the command dispatch — it should parse as a zero-argument command. The parser's command `cond` (wherever `add`, `remove`, `hide` etc. are dispatched) needs a branch:
+
+```
+((= val "breakpoint") (hs-parse-breakpoint))
+```
+
+`hs-parse-breakpoint` just returns a `{:cmd "breakpoint"}` AST node (or however commands are represented). It consumes no additional tokens.
+
+### Compiler (`lib/hyperscript/compiler.sx`)
+
+Add a compiler branch for `breakpoint` AST node. Emits a no-op or a `debugger` statement equivalent. Since we're in SX (not JS), a no-op `(do nil)` is correct.
+
+### Generator (`tests/playwright/generate-sx-tests.py`)
+
+The 2 tests are simple — hand-write them:
+
+```lisp
+(deftest "parses as a top-level command"
+  (let ((result (guard (e (true false))
+                  (hs-compile "breakpoint")
+                  true)))
+    (assert result)))
+
+(deftest "parses inside an event handler"
+  (hs-cleanup!)
+  (let ((el (dom-create-element "div")))
+    (dom-set-attr el "_" "on click breakpoint")
+    (let ((result (guard (e (true false))
+                    (hs-activate! el)
+                    true)))
+      (assert result))))
+```
+
+## 4. Implementation checklist
+
+1. `sx_find_all` in `lib/hyperscript/parser.sx` for the command dispatch `cond`.
+2. Add `breakpoint` branch → `hs-parse-breakpoint` function returning minimal command node.
+3. `sx_find_all` in `lib/hyperscript/compiler.sx` for command compilation dispatch.
+4. Add `breakpoint` branch → emit no-op.
+5. Replace 2 `SKIP` bodies in `spec/tests/test-hyperscript-behavioral.sx` with translated tests above.
+6. Run `hs_test_run suite="hs-upstream-breakpoint"` — expect 2/2.
+7. Run smoke 0–195 — no regressions.
+8. Commit: `HS: breakpoint command — parser + no-op compiler (+2)`
+
+## 5. Risk
+
+Very low. Zero-argument no-op command. The only risk is mis-locating the command dispatch branch in the parser.

+# F1 — Null Safety Reporting (+7)
+
+**Suite:** `hs-upstream-core/runtimeErrors`  
+**Target:** 7 currently-failing tests (decrement, default, increment, put, remove, settle, transition commands)
+
+## 1. Failing tests
+
+The suite has 18 tests total; 11 already pass. The 7 failures all share the pattern:
+
+```
+Expected '#doesntExist' is null, got 
+```
+
+The `eval-hs-error` helper already exists (landed in null-safety piece 1). It compiles and runs a HS snippet and returns the error string. The problem is that the listed commands don't guard against null targets before operating, so they produce no error (or a cryptic one) instead of `"'#doesntExist' is null"`.
+
+| Test | Command | Null target expression |
+|------|---------|----------------------|
+| decrement | `decrement #doesntExist's innerHTML` | `#doesntExist` |
+| default | `default #doesntExist's innerHTML to 'foo'` | `#doesntExist` |
+| increment | `increment #doesntExist's innerHTML` | `#doesntExist` |
+| put | `put 'foo' into/before/after/at start of/at end of #doesntExist` | `#doesntExist` |
+| remove | `remove .foo/.@foo/#doesntExist from #doesntExist` | `#doesntExist` |
+| settle | `settle #doesntExist` | `#doesntExist` |
+| transition | `transition #doesntExist's *visibility to 0` | `#doesntExist` |
+
+Note: add, hide, measure, send, sets, show, toggle, trigger already pass — they already guard.
+
+## 2. Required error format
+
+```
+'#doesntExist' is null
+```
+
+The apostrophe-quoted selector string followed by ` is null`. The selector text is the original source text of the element expression (e.g. `#doesntExist`, not a stringified DOM node).
+
+This is the same format already used by passing commands. The null-safety piece 1 commit added `eval-hs-error` and `hs-null-error` helper — just need to call it at the right point in each missing command.
+
+## 3. Where to add guards
+
+All in `lib/hyperscript/runtime.sx`. Pattern for each command:
+
+```
+(when (nil? target)
+  (hs-null-error target-source-text))
+```
+
+Where `hs-null-error` (or equivalent) raises with the formatted message.
+
+### Per-command location
+
+- **decrement / increment** — after resolving the target element, before reading/writing innerHTML
+- **default** — after resolving target element, before reading current value
+- **put** — after resolving destination element (covers all put variants: into, before, after, at start, at end)
+- **remove** — after resolving the `from` target element
+- **settle** — after resolving target element, before starting transition poll
+- **transition** — after resolving target element, before reading/setting style
+
+## 4. Implementation checklist
+
+1. Find each failing command's runtime function in `lib/hyperscript/runtime.sx` using `sx_find_all`.
+2. For each: `sx_read_subtree` on the function body, locate where target is resolved, insert null guard calling `hs-null-error` (or the equivalent raise form already used by passing commands).
+3. After all 7: run `hs_test_run suite="hs-upstream-core/runtimeErrors"` — expect 18/18.
+4. Run smoke range 0–195 — expect no regressions.
+5. Commit: `HS: null-safety guards on decrement/default/increment/put/remove/settle/transition (+7)`
+
+## 5. Risk
+
+Low. The pattern is established by the 11 already-passing tests. The only risk is finding the correct point in each command where the element is resolved and before it's first used.

+# F13 — Step Limit + `meta.caller` (+5 → 100%)
+
+Five tests currently timeout or produce wrong values due to two root causes:
+step budget exhaustion and a missing `meta` implementation.
+
+## Tests
+
+| # | Suite | Test | Failure |
+|---|-------|------|---------|
+| 198 | `hs-upstream-core/runtime` | `has proper stack from event handler` | wrong-value: `meta.caller` returns `""` instead of an object with `.meta.feature.type = "onFeature"` |
+| 200 | `hs-upstream-core/runtime` | `hypertrace is reasonable` | TIMEOUT (15s, step limit) |
+| 615 | `hs-upstream-expressions/in` | `query template returns values` | TIMEOUT (37s, step limit) |
+| 1197 | `hs-upstream-repeat` | `repeat forever works` | TIMEOUT (step limit) |
+| 1198 | `hs-upstream-repeat` | `repeat forever works w/o keyword` | TIMEOUT (step limit) |
+
+---
+
+## Root cause A — Step limit (tests 200, 615, 1197, 1198)
+
+The runner sets `HS_STEP_LIMIT=200000`. Every CEK step consumed by any
+expression in a test — including the double compilation warm-up guard blocks
+that appear before the actual DOM test — counts against this shared budget.
+
+### `repeat forever` (1197, 1198)
+
+The loop body terminates in exactly **5 iterations** (`if retVal == 5 then return`).
+This is bounded, not infinite. The step budget is exhausted before the loop
+runs because two `eval-expr-cek` compilation warm-up calls each consume tens
+of thousands of steps.
+
+Fix: each warm-up guard compiles and discards a HS function definition. Those
+calls are defensive (wrapped in `guard` that swallows errors). We do NOT need
+to run the compiled code — the warm-up's purpose is just to ensure the
+compiler doesn't crash, not to consume steps. The step counter should not tick
+during compilation (compilation is a pure transform, not evaluation). If that's
+impractical to gate, raise `HS_STEP_LIMIT` to `2000000` (10×).
+
+### `hypertrace is reasonable` (200)
+
+Defines `bar()` → calls `baz()` → throws. Simple call chain. The "hypertrace"
+in the test name implies the HS runtime trace recorder is active during the
+test. If trace recording is on globally, every CEK step generates a trace entry
+allocation. Fix: confirm whether trace recording is always-on in the test runner
+and disable it by default (trace should only be on when explicitly requested).
+Alternatively raise step limit.
+
+### `query template returns values` (615)
+
+Uses `<${"p"}/>` — a CSS query selector built from a template string. Takes 37
+seconds. Likely the template selector evaluation triggers repeated DOM scanning
+or expensive string construction per step. Fix: profile with `hs_test_run
+verbose=true` to identify which step is slow. If it's a regex compilation
+per-call, cache it. If step limit only, raise to 2M.
+
+### Unified fix: raise `HS_STEP_LIMIT` to `2000000`
+
+The simplest fix that unblocks all four timeout tests. In
+`tests/hs-run-filtered.js`, change the default step limit. Per-test overrides
+can still be set via `HS_STEP_LIMIT` env var for debugging.
+
+If the `query template` test is still slow at 2M steps (37s × 10 = 370s, which
+would be unacceptable), that test needs a separate performance fix — cache the
+compiled regex/query from the template string rather than rebuilding it on every
+access.
+
+---
+
+## Root cause B — `meta.caller` not implemented (test 198)
+
+The HS `meta` object is available inside any function call. It exposes:
+
+- `meta.caller` — the calling context object
+- `meta.caller.meta.feature.type` — the HS feature type of the caller
+  (e.g. `"onFeature"` when called from an `on click` handler)
+
+Test script:
+```
+def bar()
+  log meta.caller
+  return meta.caller
+end
+```
+Triggered via `on click put bar().meta.feature.type into my.innerHTML`.
+Expects `"onFeature"` in innerHTML. Currently gets `""`.
+
+### What `meta` needs
+
+`meta` is a dict-like object injected into every function's execution context
+at call time. Minimum fields for this test:
+
+```
+meta = {
+  :caller  <the calling context — a dict with its own :meta field>
+  :element <the element the script is attached to>
+}
+```
+
+`meta.caller.meta.feature.type` must return `"onFeature"` when called from an
+`on` event handler. The feature type string `"onFeature"` is already used
+internally (event handler features are tagged with this type).
+
+### Implementation
+
+In `lib/hyperscript/runtime.sx`, at the point where a HS `def` function is
+called:
+
+1. Build a `meta` dict:
+   ```
+   {:caller calling-context :element current-element}
+   ```
+   where `calling-context` is the current runtime context dict (which includes
+   its own `:meta` field with `:feature {:type "onFeature"}` for event handlers).
+
+2. Bind `meta` in the function's execution env.
+
+3. Ensure event handler contexts carry `{:meta {:feature {:type "onFeature"}}}`.
+
+This is an additive change — nothing currently uses `meta`, so no regression
+risk.
+
+---
+
+## Implementation checklist
+
+### Step A — Raise step limit
+1. In `tests/hs-run-filtered.js`, change default `HS_STEP_LIMIT` from `200000`
+   to `2000000`.
+2. Run tests 1197–1198: `hs_test_run(start=1197, end=1199)` — expect 2/2.
+3. Run test 615: `hs_test_run(start=615, end=616)` — expect 1/1 or note if
+   still too slow.
+4. Run test 200: `hs_test_run(start=200, end=201)` — expect 1/1.
+
+### Step B — `meta.caller` (test 198)
+5. `sx_find_all` in `lib/hyperscript/runtime.sx` for where `def` functions are
+   called / where event handler contexts are constructed.
+6. Add `meta` dict construction at call time; bind in function env.
+7. Ensure `on` handler context carries `{:meta {:feature {:type "onFeature"}}}`.
+8. Run test 198: `hs_test_run(start=198, end=199)` — expect 1/1.
+
+### Step C — Query template performance (if still slow after step A)
+9. Profile `hs_test_run(start=615, end=616, step_limit=2000000, verbose=true)`.
+10. If the CSS template query `<${"p"}/>` rebuilds on every call, add a memoize
+    cache keyed on the template result string.
+11. Rerun — expect < 5s.
+
+### Step D — Full suite verification
+12. Run all ranges with raised step limit:
+    - `hs_test_run(start=0, end=201, step_limit=2000000)`
+    - `hs_test_run(start=201, end=616, step_limit=2000000)`
+    - `hs_test_run(start=616, end=1200, step_limit=2000000)`
+    - `hs_test_run(start=1200, end=1496, step_limit=2000000)`
+13. Confirm all previously-passing tests still pass.
+14. Commit: `HS: raise step limit to 2M + meta.caller for onFeature stack (+5)`
+
+---
+
+## Risk
+
+- **Step limit raise:** May make test suite slower overall (more steps to exhaust
+  before timeout). But if tests pass quickly the limit is never reached.
+  The 37s query-template test is the only real concern — if it genuinely needs
+  2M steps × (time per step), it needs a performance fix too.
+- **`meta.caller`:** Additive binding in function scope. Zero regression risk.
+  The only complexity is constructing the right shape for the calling context
+  chain — but since only one test exercises this and the shape is simple, the
+  risk is low.

+# F2 — `tell` Semantics Fix (+3)
+
+**Suite:** `hs-upstream-tell`  
+**Target:** 3 failing tests out of 10. 7 already pass.
+
+## 1. Failing tests
+
+### "attributes refer to the thing being told"
+```
+on click tell #d2 then put @foo into me
+```
+d2 has attribute `foo="bar"`. After click, d1's text content should be `"bar"`.  
+`@foo` is an attribute ref — it should resolve against the **told element** (d2), not the event target (d1).  
+Currently gets `""` — attribute resolves against d1, which has no `foo` attribute.
+
+### "your symbol represents the thing being told"
+```
+on click tell #d2 then put your innerText into me
+```
+d2 has innerText `"foo"`. After click, d1's text content should be `"foo"`.  
+`your` is the possessive of `you` — inside a `tell` block, `you`/`your` should bind to the told element.  
+Currently gets `""`.
+
+### "does not overwrite the me symbol"
+```
+on click add .foo then tell #d2 then add .bar to me
+```
+After click: d1 should have both `.foo` and `.bar`; d2 should have neither.  
+`me` inside the `tell` block must still refer to d1 (the original event target).  
+Currently: assertion fails — `.bar` is going to d2 instead of d1.
+
+## 2. What the 7 passing tests reveal about current behaviour
+
+The passing tests include:
+- `you symbol represents the thing being told` — `add .bar to you` adds to d2 ✓
+- `establishes a proper beingTold symbol` — bare `add .bar` (no target) adds to the told element ✓
+- `restores a proper implicit me symbol` — after `tell` block ends, bare commands target d1 again ✓
+- `yourself attribute also works` — `remove yourself` inside tell removes d2 ✓
+
+So `you`, `yourself`, and bare implicit target all work. The three bugs are:
+1. Attribute refs (`@foo`) don't resolve against the told element
+2. `your` (possessive of `you`) doesn't resolve
+3. `me` is being rebound to the told element instead of kept as d1
+
+## 3. Root cause analysis
+
+Inside a `tell X` block, the runtime sets the implicit target to X. The three failures suggest:
+
+**Bug A — attribute refs:** `@foo` resolves via a property-access path that reads from the *current event target* (`me`/`self`), not from the *implicit tell target*. The tell block sets implicit target but the attribute ref lookup skips it.
+
+**Bug B — `your`:** `your` is parsed as a possessive modifier expecting `you` to be bound. If `you` is not bound in the tell scope (and only the implicit target is set), `your X` fails to resolve.
+
+**Bug C — `me` rebinding:** The tell command saves/restores `me` but the save/restore is either not happening or is restoring the wrong value. `me` inside the block should remain d1 while the implicit default target is d2.
+
+## 4. Fix
+
+In `lib/hyperscript/runtime.sx`, find the `tell` command handler (search for `hs-tell` or the tell dispatch branch).
+
+The correct semantics:
+- Save current `me` value
+- Set implicit target (used by bare commands like `add .bar`) to the told element
+- Bind `you` = told element (so `you`, `your`, `yourself` work)
+- Do **not** rebind `me` — keep it as the original event target
+- Restore implicit target and unbind `you` after the block
+
+For attribute refs (`@foo`): resolve against the current *implicit target* (told element), not against `me`. Find where `@attr` expressions are evaluated and ensure they read from the implicit target when inside a tell block.
+
+## 5. Implementation checklist
+
+1. `sx_find_all` in `lib/hyperscript/runtime.sx` for tell handler.
+2. `sx_read_subtree` on the tell handler — verify save/restore of `me` vs implicit target.
+3. Fix `me` rebinding: save old implicit target, set new one, do NOT touch `me`.
+4. Bind `you`/`your`/`yourself` to told element in the tell scope env.
+5. Find attribute ref (`@`) evaluation — ensure it reads from implicit target.
+6. Run `hs_test_run suite="hs-upstream-tell"` — expect 10/10.
+7. Run smoke 0–195 — no regressions.
+8. Commit: `HS: tell — fix me rebinding, your/attribute-ref resolution (+3)`
+
+## 6. Risk
+
+Medium. The 7 passing tests constrain what can change — the fix must preserve `you`, `yourself`, bare implicit target, and restore-after-tell semantics. The three bugs are independent enough that they can be fixed one at a time and verified after each.

+# F5 — Cookie API (+5)
+
+**Suite:** `hs-upstream-expressions/cookies`  
+**Target:** All 5 tests are `SKIP (untranslated)`.
+
+## 1. The 5 tests
+
+From upstream `test/expressions/cookies.js`:
+
+| Test | What it checks |
+|------|---------------|
+| `length is 0 when no cookies are set` | `cookies.length == 0` with no cookies set |
+| `basic set cookie values work` | `set cookies.name to "value"` then `cookies.name == "value"` |
+| `update cookie values work` | set, then set again, value updates |
+| `basic clear cookie values work` | `set cookies.name to "value"` then `clear cookies.name`, then `cookies.name == undefined` |
+| `iterate cookies values work` | `for name in cookies` iterates cookie names |
+
+## 2. HyperScript cookie syntax
+
+`cookies` is a special global expression in HyperScript backed by `document.cookie`. The upstream implementation wraps `document.cookie` in a proxy:
+
+- `cookies.name` → read cookie by name (returns string or `undefined`)
+- `set cookies.name to val` → write cookie (sets `document.cookie = "name=val"`)
+- `clear cookies.name` → delete cookie (sets max-age=-1)
+- `cookies.length` → number of cookies set
+- `for name in cookies` → iterate over cookie names
+
+## 3. Test runner mock
+
+All 5 tests are untranslated — no SX test bodies exist yet. The generator needs patterns for the cookie expressions, and `hs-run-filtered.js` needs a `document.cookie` mock.
+
+### Mock in `tests/hs-run-filtered.js`
+
+Add a simple in-memory cookie store to the `dom` mock:
+
+```js
+let _cookieStore = {};
+Object.defineProperty(global.document, 'cookie', {
+  get() {
+    return Object.entries(_cookieStore)
+      .map(([k,v]) => `${k}=${v}`)
+      .join('; ');
+  },
+  set(str) {
+    const [pair, ...attrs] = str.split(';');
+    const [name, val] = pair.split('=').map(s => s.trim());
+    const maxAge = attrs.find(a => a.trim().startsWith('max-age='));
+    if (maxAge && parseInt(maxAge.split('=')[1]) < 0) {
+      delete _cookieStore[name];
+    } else {
+      _cookieStore[name] = val;
+    }
+  },
+  configurable: true
+});
+```
+
+Add `_cookieStore = {}` reset to `hs-cleanup!` equivalent in the runner.
+
+## 4. SX runtime additions in `lib/hyperscript/runtime.sx`
+
+HS needs a `cookies` special expression that the compiler resolves. Two approaches:
+
+**Option A (simpler):** Treat `cookies` as a built-in variable bound to a proxy dict at runtime. When property access `cookies.name` is evaluated, dispatch to cookie read/write helpers.
+
+**Option B (upstream-faithful):** Parse `cookies` as a special primary expression, emit runtime calls `hs-cookie-get`, `hs-cookie-set`, `hs-cookie-delete`, `hs-cookie-length`, `hs-cookie-names`.
+
+Option A is less invasive. The runtime env gets a `cookies` binding pointing to a special object; property access and assignment on it dispatch to the cookie helpers, which call `(platform-cookie-get name)` / `(platform-cookie-set name val)` / `(platform-cookie-delete name)`.
+
+Platform cookie operations map to `document.cookie` reads/writes in JS.
+
+## 5. Generator patterns (`tests/playwright/generate-sx-tests.py`)
+
+The upstream tests use patterns like:
+
+```js
+await page.evaluate(() => { _hyperscript.evaluate("set cookies.foo to 'bar'") });
+expect(await page.evaluate(() => _hyperscript.evaluate("cookies.foo"))).toBe("bar");
+```
+
+In our SX harness these become direct `eval-hs` calls. Since all 5 tests are untranslated, hand-write them rather than extending the generator (similar to E39).
+
+## 6. Translated test bodies
+
+```lisp
+(deftest "length is 0 when no cookies are set"
+  (hs-cleanup!)
+  (assert= (eval-hs "cookies.length") 0))

+## 7. Implementation checklist
+
+1. Add cookie mock to `tests/hs-run-filtered.js`. Wire reset into test cleanup.
+2. Add `hs-cookie-get`, `hs-cookie-set`, `hs-cookie-delete`, `hs-cookie-length`, `hs-cookie-names` to `lib/hyperscript/runtime.sx`.
+3. Add `cookies` as a special expression in the HS parser/evaluator that dispatches to the above.
+4. Replace 5 `SKIP` bodies in `spec/tests/test-hyperscript-behavioral.sx` with translated test bodies above.
+5. Run `hs_test_run suite="hs-upstream-expressions/cookies"` — expect 5/5.
+6. Run smoke 0–195 — no regressions.
+7. Commit: `HS: cookie API — document.cookie proxy + 5 tests`
+
+## 8. Risk
+
+Medium. The mock is simple. The main risk is the `cookies` expression integration in the parser — it needs to hook into property-access and assignment paths that are already well-exercised. Keep the implementation thin: `cookies` is a runtime value with a special type, not a new parse form.

+# F8 — evalStatically (+3)
+
+**Suite:** `hs-upstream-core/evalStatically`  
+**Target:** 3 failing (untranslated) out of 8. 5 already pass.
+
+## 1. Current state
+
+5 passing tests use `(eval-hs expr)` and check the return value for literals: booleans, null, numbers, plain strings, time expressions. These call `_hyperscript.evaluate(src)` and return the result.
+
+3 failing tests are named:
+- `throws on math expressions`
+- `throws on symbol references`  
+- `throws on template strings`
+
+All are `SKIP (untranslated)` — no test body has been generated.
+
+## 2. What upstream checks
+
+From `test/core/evalStatically.js`, the `throwErrors` mode:
+
+```js
+expect(() => _hyperscript.evaluate("1 + 2")).toThrow();
+expect(() => _hyperscript.evaluate("x")).toThrow();
+expect(() => _hyperscript.evaluate(`"hello ${name}"`)).toThrow();
+```
+
+`_hyperscript.evaluate(src)` in strict static mode throws when the expression is not a pure literal — math operators, symbol references, and template string interpolation all involve runtime evaluation that can't be statically resolved.
+
+The "static" constraint: only literals that can be evaluated without any runtime context or side effects are allowed. `1 + 2` is not static (it's a math op). `x` is not static (symbol lookup). `"hello ${name}"` is not static (interpolation).
+
+## 3. What `eval-hs` currently does
+
+`eval-hs` in our harness calls `(hs-compile-and-run src)` or equivalent. It does NOT currently have a "static mode" — it runs everything with the full runtime.
+
+We need a new harness helper `eval-hs-static-error` that:
+1. Calls `(hs-compile src)` with a flag that makes it throw on non-literal expressions
+2. Returns the caught error message, or raises if no error was thrown
+
+## 4. Implementation options
+
+### Option A — Static analysis pass (accurate)
+
+Before evaluation, walk the AST and reject any node that isn't a literal:
+- Number literal ✓
+- String literal (no interpolation) ✓
+- Boolean literal ✓  
+- Null literal ✓
+- Time expression (`200ms`, `2s`) ✓
+- Everything else → throw `"expression is not static"`
+
+This is a pre-eval AST check, not a runtime change. Lives in `lib/hyperscript/compiler.sx` as `hs-check-static`.
+
+### Option B — Generator translation (simpler)
+
+The 3 tests are untranslated. All three just verify that `_hyperscript.evaluate(expr)` throws. In our SX harness we can test this with a `guard` form:
+
+```lisp
+(deftest "throws on math expressions"
+  (let ((result (guard (e (true true))
+                  (eval-hs "1 + 2")
+                  false)))
+    (assert result)))
+```
+
+But this only works if `eval-hs` actually throws on math expressions. Currently it doesn't — `eval-hs "1 + 2"` returns `3`. So we'd need the static analysis anyway to make the test pass.
+
+### Chosen approach: Option A
+
+Add `hs-static-check` to the compiler: a fast AST walker that throws on any non-literal node. Wire it as an optional mode. The test harness calls `eval-hs-static` which runs with static-check enabled.
+
+Actually, reading the upstream more carefully: `_hyperscript.evaluate` already throws in static mode without additional flags — the "evaluate" API is documented as static-only. Our `eval-hs` in the passing tests works because booleans/numbers/strings/time ARE static. `1 + 2`, `x`, and template strings are NOT static and should throw.
+
+So the fix is: make `hs-compile-and-run` (or whatever backs `eval-hs`) reject non-literal AST nodes. The 5 passing tests will continue to pass (they use literals). The 3 failing tests will get translated using `eval-hs-error` or a guard pattern.
+
+## 5. Non-literal AST node types to reject
+
+| Expression | AST node type | Reject? |
+|-----------|--------------|---------|
+| `1`, `3.14` | number literal | ✓ allow |
+| `"hello"`, `'world'` | string literal (no interpolation) | ✓ allow |
+| `true`, `false` | boolean literal | ✓ allow |
+| `null` | null literal | ✓ allow |
+| `200ms`, `2s` | time literal | ✓ allow |
+| `1 + 2` | math operator | ✗ throw |
+| `x` | symbol reference | ✗ throw |
+| `"hello ${name}"` | template string | ✗ throw |
+
+## 6. Implementation checklist
+
+1. In `lib/hyperscript/compiler.sx`, add `hs-static?` predicate: returns true only for literal AST node types.
+2. In the `eval-hs` path (wherever `hs-compile-and-run` is called for the evaluate API), call `hs-static?` on the parsed AST and throw `"expression is not statically evaluable"` if false.
+3. Replace 3 `SKIP` bodies in `spec/tests/test-hyperscript-behavioral.sx`:
+   ```lisp
+   (deftest "throws on math expressions"
+     (assert (string? (eval-hs-error "1 + 2"))))
+   (deftest "throws on symbol references"
+     (assert (string? (eval-hs-error "x"))))
+   (deftest "throws on template strings"
+     (assert (string? (eval-hs-error "\"hello ${name}\""))))
+   ```
+4. Run `hs_test_run suite="hs-upstream-core/evalStatically"` — expect 8/8.
+5. Run smoke 0–195 — verify the 5 passing tests still pass.
+6. Commit: `HS: evalStatically — static literal check, 3 tests (+3)`
+
+## 7. Risk
+
+Low-medium. The main risk is that `eval-hs` is used in many tests for non-static expressions and adding a static check to the shared path would break them. The fix must be gated — either a separate `eval-hs-static` helper or a flag parameter. The passing tests must not be affected.

+# HyperScript Plugin / Extension System
+
+Post-Bucket-F capability work. No conformance delta on its own — the payoff is
+clean architecture for language embeds (Lua, Prolog, Worker runtime) and
+alignment with real `_hyperscript`'s extension model.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Motivation
+
+### 1a. Real `_hyperscript` has a plugin API
+
+Stock `_hyperscript` ships a core bundle with feature stubs and a `use(ext)`
+hook that loads named extensions at runtime. The worker feature is the canonical
+example: the core parser has a stub that errors helpfully; loading the worker
+extension replaces the stub with a real implementation.
+
+We currently have no equivalent. New grammar or compiler targets require editing
+`parse-feat`'s hardcoded `cond` or `hs-to-sx`'s hardcoded dispatch. This is
+fine for conformance work but wrong for language embeds.
+
+### 1b. Ad-hoc hooks are accumulating
+
+`runtime.sx` already has `hs-prolog-hook` / `hs-set-prolog-hook!` / `prolog`
+(nodes 140–142) — an informal plugin slot bolted on outside the parser and
+compiler. This pattern will repeat for Lua, and again for the Worker runtime.
+A proper registry prevents the drift.
+
+### 1c. E39 worker stub is a placeholder
+
+The stub added in E39 (`parse-feat` raises immediately on `"worker"`) was
+explicitly designed to be replaced by a real plugin at a single site. This plan
+is where that replacement happens.
+
+### 1d. Bucket-F Group 10 needs a converter registry
+
+`as MyType` via registered converter is already in the Bucket-F plan (Group 10).
+A `hs-register-converter!` registry is the natural home for it — and the plugin
+system is the right time to add registries generally.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Scope
+
+**In scope:**
+- Parser feature registry (`parse-feat` dispatch)
+- Compiler command registry (`hs-to-sx` dispatch)
+- `as` converter registry (`hs-coerce` dispatch)
+- Migration of E39 worker stub to use the parser registry
+- Migration of `hs-prolog-hook` ad-hoc slot to a proper plugin
+- Worker full runtime plugin (first real plugin)
+- Lua embed plugin
+- Prolog embed plugin
+
+**Out of scope:**
+- Changing the test runner or generator
+- Any conformance delta (this plan doesn't target failing tests)
+- Third-party plugin loading from external URLs (future)
+- Hot-reload of plugins (future)
+
+---
+
+## 3. Registry design
+
+Three registries, all SX dicts. Checked before the hardcoded `cond` in each
+dispatch. Registration functions defined alongside the registries in their
+respective files.
+
+### 3a. Parser feature registry (`lib/hyperscript/parser.sx`)
+
+```lisp
+(define _hs-feature-registry (dict))
+
+(define hs-register-feature!
+  (fn (keyword parse-fn)
+    (set! _hs-feature-registry
+      (dict-set _hs-feature-registry keyword parse-fn))))
+```
+
+In `parse-feat`, prepend a registry lookup before the existing `cond`:
+
+```lisp
+(let ((registered (dict-get _hs-feature-registry val)))
+  (if registered
+    (registered)           ;; call the registered parse-fn (no args; uses closure over adv!/tp-val etc.)
+    (cond                  ;; existing dispatch unchanged below
+      ...)))
+```
+
+`parse-fn` is a zero-arg thunk that has access to the parser's internal state
+via the same closure that the existing `parse-*` helpers use. Since `parse-feat`
+is itself defined inside the big `let` in `hs-parse`, all the parser helpers
+(`adv!`, `tp-val`, `tp-typ`, `parse-cmd-list`, etc.) are in scope.
+
+### 3b. Compiler command registry (`lib/hyperscript/compiler.sx`)
+
+```lisp
+(define _hs-compiler-registry (dict))
+
+(define hs-register-compiler!
+  (fn (head compile-fn)
+    (set! _hs-compiler-registry
+      (dict-set _hs-compiler-registry (str head) compile-fn))))
+```
+
+In `hs-to-sx`, before the existing `cond` on `head`, check the registry:
+
+```lisp
+(let ((registered (dict-get _hs-compiler-registry (str head))))
+  (if registered
+    (registered ast)
+    (cond ...)))
+```
+
+`compile-fn` receives the full AST node and returns an SX expression.
+
+### 3c. `as` converter registry (`lib/hyperscript/runtime.sx`)
+
+```lisp
+(define _hs-converters (dict))
+
+(define hs-register-converter!
+  (fn (type-name converter-fn)
+    (set! _hs-converters
+      (dict-set _hs-converters type-name converter-fn))))
+```
+
+In `hs-coerce`, add a registry lookup as the last `cond` clause before the
+fallthrough error:
+
+```lisp
+((dict-get _hs-converters type-name)
+  ((dict-get _hs-converters type-name) value))
+```
+
+This is also the hook that Bucket-F Group 10 (`can accept custom conversions`)
+hangs on — so implementing it here kills two birds.
+
+---
+
+## 4. First-party plugins
+
+Each plugin is a `.sx` file in `lib/hyperscript/plugins/`. Plugins call the
+registration functions at load time (top-level `do` forms). The host loads
+plugins explicitly after the core files.
+
+### 4a. Worker plugin (`lib/hyperscript/plugins/worker.sx`)
+
+**Phase 1 — stub migration (immediate):**
+Remove the inline error branch from `parse-feat` (the E39 stub). Replace with:
+
+```lisp
+(hs-register-feature! "worker"
+  (fn ()
+    (error "worker plugin is not installed — see https://hyperscript.org/features/worker")))
+```
+
+This is identical behaviour to E39 but routed through the registry. The stub
+lives in the plugin file, not the core parser. No test regression.
+
+**Phase 2 — full runtime:**
+
+Parser: `parse-worker-feat` — consumes `worker <Name> [(<url>*)] <def|js>* end`,
+returns `(worker Name urls defs)` AST node.
+
+Compiler: registered under `"worker"` head:
+- Emits `(hs-worker-define! "Name" urls defs)` call.
+
+Runtime additions in the plugin file:
+- `hs-worker-define!` — creates a `{:_hs-worker true :name N :handle H :exports (...)}` record,
+  binds it in the HS top-level env under `Name`.
+- `hs-method-call` (existing) detects `:_hs-worker` and dispatches via `postMessage`.
+- Worker script body compiled to a standalone SX bundle posted to a Blob URL.
+- Return values are promise-wrapped; async-transparent via `perform`/IO suspension.
+
+Mock env additions for the test runner: `Worker` constructor + synchronous
+message loop for the 7 sibling `test.skip(...)` upstream tests (the ones
+deferred in E39).
+
+### 4b. Prolog plugin (`lib/hyperscript/plugins/prolog.sx`)
+
+Replaces the ad-hoc `hs-prolog-hook` in `runtime.sx`.
+
+**Parser:** Register `"prolog"` feature — parses
+`prolog(<db-expr>, <goal-expr>)` at feature level (alternative: keep as an
+expression, register a compiler extension only).
+
+**Compiler:** Registered under `"prolog"` head — emits `(prolog db goal)`.
+
+**Runtime:** The existing `prolog` function in `runtime.sx` moves here.
+`hs-prolog-hook` and `hs-set-prolog-hook!` are removed from `runtime.sx` and
+the hook mechanism is replaced by the plugin loading `lib/prolog/runtime.sx`
+and wiring the solver directly.
+
+Remove from `runtime.sx` nodes 140–142 once the plugin is live.
+
+### 4c. Lua plugin (`lib/hyperscript/plugins/lua.sx`)
+
+**Parser:** Register `"lua"` feature — parses `lua ... end` block, captures
+the body as a raw string.
+
+**Compiler:** Registered under `"lua"` head — emits `(lua-eval <body-string>)`.
+
+**Runtime:** `lua-eval` calls `lib/lua/runtime.sx`'s eval entry point, returns
+result as an SX value via `hs-host-to-sx`. Errors surface as HS `catch`-able
+exceptions.
+
+This enables inline Lua in HyperScript:
+
+```
+on click
+  lua
+    return document.title:upper()
+  end
+  put it into me
+end
+```
+
+---
+
+## 5. Load order
+
+```
+lib/hyperscript/parser.sx       ;; defines _hs-feature-registry, hs-register-feature!
+lib/hyperscript/compiler.sx     ;; defines _hs-compiler-registry, hs-register-compiler!
+lib/hyperscript/runtime.sx      ;; defines _hs-converters, hs-register-converter!
+lib/hyperscript/plugins/worker.sx
+lib/hyperscript/plugins/prolog.sx
+lib/hyperscript/plugins/lua.sx
+```
+
+The test runner (`tests/hs-run-filtered.js`) loads plugins after core. The
+browser WASM bundle includes all three by default (plugins are small; no
+reason to lazy-load them).
+
+---
+
+## 6. Migration checklist
+
+The work below is ordered to keep main green at every commit. Each step is
+independently committable.
+
+### Step 1 — Registries (infrastructure, no behaviour change)
+
+1. Add `_hs-feature-registry` + `hs-register-feature!` to `parser.sx`.
+   Thread the registry check into `parse-feat`. No entries yet → behaviour
+   unchanged.
+2. Add `_hs-compiler-registry` + `hs-register-compiler!` to `compiler.sx`.
+   Thread into `hs-to-sx`. No entries yet → behaviour unchanged.
+3. Add `_hs-converters` + `hs-register-converter!` to `runtime.sx`. Thread
+   into `hs-coerce`. No entries yet → behaviour unchanged.
+4. `sx_validate` all three files. Run full HS suite — expect zero regressions.
+5. Commit: `HS: plugin registry infrastructure (parser + compiler + converter)`.
+
+### Step 2 — Worker stub migration
+
+6. Create `lib/hyperscript/plugins/worker.sx`. Register the worker stub error.
+7. Remove the inline `((= val "worker") ...)` branch from `parse-feat` in
+   `parser.sx`.
+8. Update the test runner to load `worker.sx` after core.
+9. Run `HS_SUITE=hs-upstream-worker` — expect 1/1. Run full suite — expect no
+   regressions.
+10. Commit: `HS: migrate E39 worker stub to plugin registry`.
+
+### Step 3 — Prolog plugin
+
+11. Create `lib/hyperscript/plugins/prolog.sx`. Wire to `lib/prolog/runtime.sx`.
+12. Remove `hs-prolog-hook`, `hs-set-prolog-hook!`, `prolog` from `runtime.sx`
+    nodes 140–142.
+13. Update test runner to load `prolog.sx`.
+14. Validate and run full suite.
+15. Commit: `HS: prolog plugin replaces ad-hoc hook`.
+
+### Step 4 — `as` converter registry (bridges Bucket-F Group 10)
+
+16. Confirm `hs-register-converter!` satisfies the Group 10 test
+    `can accept custom conversions`. If yes, this step may be pulled into
+    Bucket-F Group 10 instead (no duplication — just move step 3 of §6 there).
+17. Commit: `HS: as-converter registry wired into hs-coerce`.
+
+### Step 5 — Lua plugin
+
+18. Create `lib/hyperscript/plugins/lua.sx`.
+19. Add `lua-eval` to `runtime.sx` or directly in the plugin file.
+20. Parser: `parse-lua-feat` consuming `lua … end`.
+21. Compiler: registered `"lua"` head.
+22. Write 3–5 tests in `spec/tests/test-hyperscript-lua.sx`:
+    - Lua returns a string → HS uses it.
+    - Lua error → HS catch.
+    - Lua reads a passed argument.
+23. Commit: `HS: Lua plugin — inline lua...end blocks`.
+
+### Step 6 — Worker full runtime plugin
+
+24. Extend `worker.sx`: implement `parse-worker-feat`, compiler entry,
+    `hs-worker-define!`, `hs-method-call` worker branch.
+25. Extend test runner: `Worker` constructor + synchronous message loop.
+26. Un-skip the 7 sibling worker tests from upstream.
+27. Target: 7/7 worker suite.
+28. Commit: `HS: Worker plugin full runtime (+7 tests)`.
+
+---
+
+## 7. Risks
+
+- **`parse-feat` closure scope** — `hs-register-feature!` stores parse-fns
+  that need access to parser-internal helpers (`adv!`, `tp-val`, etc.). These
+  are only in scope inside `hs-parse`'s big `let`. Two options:
+  (a) the registry stores fns that receive a parser-context dict as arg, or
+  (b) the registry is checked *inside* `parse-feat` where helpers are in scope
+  and fns are zero-arg closures captured at registration time.
+  Option (b) is simpler but requires plugins to be loaded while the parser
+  `let` is being evaluated — i.e., plugins must be defined *inside* the parser
+  file or the context dict must be exposed. **Recommended:** expose a
+  `_hs-parser-ctx` dict at the module level that parse-fns receive as their
+  sole argument. This makes the API explicit and plugins independent files.
+
+- **Worker Blob URL in WASM** — `URL.createObjectURL` is available in browsers
+  but not in the OCaml WASM host. Worker full runtime is browser-only; flag it
+  with a capability check and graceful fallback.
+
+- **Lua/Prolog mutual recursion** — a Lua block calling back into HS calling
+  back into Lua is theoretically possible via the IO suspension machinery.
+  Don't try to support it initially; raise a clear error if detected.
+
+- **Plugin load-order sensitivity** — `hs-register-feature!` must be called
+  before any source is parsed. If a plugin is loaded lazily (future), a
+  `worker MyWorker` in the page would hit the stub before the full plugin
+  registers. Acceptable for now; document that plugins must be loaded at boot.
+
+- **`runtime.sx` cleanup for prolog** — nodes 140–142 are referenced nowhere
+  else in the codebase (grep confirms). Safe to delete once the plugin is live.
+
+---
+
+## 8. Non-goals
+
+- Runtime `use(ext)` API (JS-style dynamic plugin install) — future.
+- Plugin namespacing / versioning — future.
+- Any conformance tests other than the 7 worker tests in step 6.
+- Changing how the WASM bundle is built or split.

+# Elixir-on-SX: Elixir on the CEK/VM
+
+Compile Elixir source to SX AST; the existing CEK evaluator runs it. The natural companion
+to `lib/erlang/` — Elixir compiles to the BEAM and most of its runtime semantics are
+Erlang's. The interesting parts are Elixir-specific: the macro system (`quote`/`unquote`),
+the pipe operator `|>`, `with` expressions, `defmodule`/`def`/`defp`, protocol dispatch,
+and the `Stream` lazy evaluation library.
+
+End-state goal: **core Elixir programs running**, including modules, pattern matching, the
+pipe operator, macros (`quote`/`unquote`/`defmacro`), protocols, and actor-style processes
+reusing the Erlang runtime foundation.
+
+## Ground rules
+
+- **Scope:** only touch `lib/elixir/**` and `plans/elixir-on-sx.md`. Do **not** edit
+  `spec/`, `hosts/`, `shared/`, or other `lib/<lang>/`. Reuse `lib/erlang/` runtime
+  functions where possible — import them, don't duplicate.
+- **Shared-file issues** go under "Blockers" below with a minimal repro; do not fix here.
+- **SX files:** use `sx-tree` MCP tools only.
+- **Architecture:** Elixir source → Elixir AST → SX AST. Reuse Erlang runtime for process/
+  message/pattern primitives; add Elixir-specific surface in `lib/elixir/`.
+- **Commits:** one feature per commit. Keep `## Progress log` updated and tick boxes.

+Key semantic mappings (differences from Erlang):

+- `|>` pipe → left-to-right function composition; `a |> f(b)` = `f(a, b)`
+- `with x <- expr, y <- expr2 do body else patterns end` → chained pattern match with early exit
+- `for x <- list, filter, do: expr` → list comprehension (SX `map`/`filter`)
+- `quote do expr end` → returns AST as SX list (homoiconic — Elixir AST IS SX-like)
+- `unquote(expr)` → evaluate expr and splice into surrounding `quote`
+- `defmacro` → macro in module; expanded at compile time by calling the SX macro
+- Protocol → dict of implementations keyed by type name; `defprotocol` defines interface,
+  `defimpl` registers an implementation
+- `Stream` → lazy sequences using SX promises/coroutines (Phase 9/4 of primitives)
+- `Agent`/`GenServer` → SX coroutine + message queue (similar to Erlang process model)

+- [ ] Tokenizer: atoms (`:atom`, `:"atom with spaces"`), strings (`""`), charlists (`''`),
+      numbers (int, float, hex `0xFF`, octal `0o77`, binary `0b11`), booleans (`true`/`false`/`nil`),
+      operators (`|>`, `<>`, `++`, `--`, `:::`, `&&`, `||`, `!`, `..`, `<-`, `=~`),
+      sigils (`~r/regex/`, `~s"string"`, `~w(word list)`), do/end blocks, keywords as args
+      `f(key: val)`, `@module_attribute`
+- [ ] Parser:
+      - Module: `defmodule Name do ... end` → module AST with body
+      - Functions: `def f(pat) do body end`, `def f(pat) when guard do body end`,
+        multi-clause `def f(a) do ...; def f(b) do ...` → clause list
+      - `defp` (private), `defmacro`, `defmacrop`
+      - `@doc`, `@moduledoc`, `@spec`, `@type`, `@behaviour` module attributes
+      - `case expr do patterns end`, `cond do clauses end`, `if`/`unless`
+      - `with x <- e, y <- e2, do: body, else: [pattern -> body]`
+      - `for x <- list, filter, into: acc, do: expr` comprehension
+      - `fn pat -> body end` anonymous function; capture `&Module.fun/arity`, `&(&1 + 1)`

+      - `try do body rescue e -> ... catch type, val -> ... after ... end`
+      - `quote do ... end`, `unquote(expr)`, `unquote_splicing(list)`
+      - `|>` pipe chain: `a |> f |> g(b)` → `g(f(a), b)`
+- [ ] Tests in `lib/elixir/tests/parse.sx`
+
+### Phase 2 — transpile: basic Elixir (no macros, no processes)
+- [ ] `ex-eval-ast` entry
+- [ ] Arithmetic, string `<>`, list `++`/`--`, comparison, boolean (`and`/`or`/`not`)
+- [ ] Pattern matching in `=`, function heads, `case` — reuse Erlang pattern engine
+- [ ] `def`/`defp` → SX `define` with clause dispatch (like Erlang function clauses)
+- [ ] Module as a dict of named functions; `ModuleName.function(args)` dispatch
+- [ ] `|>` pipe: desugar `a |> f(b, c)` → `f(a, b, c)` at transpile time
+- [ ] `with` expression: chain of `<-` bindings, short-circuit on mismatch to `else`
+- [ ] `for` comprehension: `for x <- list, filter do body end` → `map`/`filter`
+- [ ] `fn` anonymous functions, `&` capture forms
+- [ ] `if`/`unless`/`cond`/`case`
+- [ ] String interpolation: `"Hello #{name}"` → string concat
+- [ ] Keyword lists `[key: val]` → SX list of `{:key val}` dicts; maps `%{key: val}` → SX dict
+- [ ] Tuples `{a, b, c}` → SX list (or vector); `elem/2`, `put_elem/3`
+- [ ] 40+ eval tests in `lib/elixir/tests/eval.sx`
+
+### Phase 3 — macro system
+- [ ] `quote do expr end` → returns Elixir AST as SX list structure
+      (Elixir AST is 3-tuples `{name, meta, args}` — map to SX `(list name meta args)`)
+- [ ] `unquote(expr)` → evaluate and splice into surrounding `quote`
+- [ ] `unquote_splicing(list)` → splice list into surrounding `quote`
+- [ ] `defmacro` → define a macro in the module; macro receives AST args, returns AST
+- [ ] Macro expansion: expand macros before transpiling (two-pass: collect defs, then expand)
+- [ ] `use Module` → calls `Module.__using__/1` macro, injects code into caller
+- [ ] `import Module` → bring functions into scope without prefix
+- [ ] `alias Module, as: M` → short name for module
+- [ ] Tests: `defmacro unless`, `defmacro my_if`, `use` injection, `__MODULE__`, `__DIR__`
+
+### Phase 4 — protocols
+- [ ] `defprotocol P do @spec f(t) :: result end` → defines protocol dict + dispatch fn
+- [ ] `defimpl P, for: Type do def f(t) do ... end end` → register implementation
+- [ ] Protocol dispatch: `P.f(value)` → look up type of value, find implementation, call it
+- [ ] Built-in protocols: `Enumerable`, `Collectable`, `String.Chars`, `Inspect`
+- [ ] `Enumerable` implementation for lists, maps, ranges — enables `Enum.*` on custom types
+- [ ] `derive` — automatic protocol implementation for simple structs
+- [ ] Tests: custom type implementing `Enumerable`, `String.Chars`, protocol fallback
+
+### Phase 5 — structs + behaviours
+- [ ] `defstruct [:field1, field2: default]` → defines `%ModuleName{}` struct type
+      Structs are maps with `__struct__: ModuleName` key + defined fields
+- [ ] Struct pattern matching: `%User{name: n} = user`
+- [ ] `@behaviour Module` → declares behaviour callbacks; compile-time check
+- [ ] `@impl true` / `@impl BehaviourName` → marks function as behaviour implementation
+- [ ] Built-in behaviours: `GenServer`, `Supervisor`, `Agent`, `Task`
+- [ ] Tests: struct creation, update syntax `%{struct | field: val}`, behaviour callbacks
+
+### Phase 6 — processes + OTP patterns (reuses Erlang runtime)
+- [ ] `spawn(fn -> ... end)` / `spawn(M, f, args)` → SX coroutine on scheduler
+      Reuse `lib/erlang/` process + message queue infrastructure
+- [ ] `send(pid, msg)` / `receive do patterns end` — already in Erlang runtime
+- [ ] `GenServer` behaviour: `start_link`, `call`, `cast`, `handle_call`, `handle_cast`,
+      `handle_info`, `init` — implement as SX macros expanding to process + message loop
+- [ ] `Agent` — simple state wrapper over GenServer; `Agent.start_link`, `get`, `update`
+- [ ] `Task` — async computation; `Task.async`, `Task.await`
+- [ ] `Supervisor` — child spec, restart strategy (`one_for_one`, `one_for_all`)
+- [ ] Tests: counter GenServer, bank account Agent, parallel Task, supervised worker
+
+### Phase 7 — standard library
+- [ ] `Enum.*` — `map`, `filter`, `reduce`, `each`, `into`, `flat_map`, `zip`, `sort`,
+      `sort_by`, `min_by`, `max_by`, `group_by`, `frequencies`, `count`, `any?`, `all?`,
+      `find`, `take`, `drop`, `take_while`, `drop_while`, `chunk_every`, `chunk_by`,
+      `flat_map_reduce`, `scan`, `uniq`, `uniq_by`, `member?`, `empty?`, `sum`, `product`
+- [ ] `Stream.*` — lazy versions of Enum; `Stream.map`, `Stream.filter`, `Stream.take`,
+      `Stream.cycle`, `Stream.iterate`, `Stream.unfold`, `Stream.resource`
+      Uses SX promises (Phase 9) for laziness
+- [ ] `String.*` — `length`, `upcase`, `downcase`, `trim`, `split`, `replace`, `contains?`,
+      `starts_with?`, `ends_with?`, `slice`, `at`, `graphemes`, `codepoints`, `to_integer`,
+      `to_float`, `pad_leading`, `pad_trailing`, `duplicate`, `match?`
+- [ ] `Map.*` — `new`, `get`, `put`, `delete`, `update`, `merge`, `keys`, `values`,
+      `to_list`, `from_struct`, `has_key?`, `filter`, `map`, `reject`, `take`, `drop`
+- [ ] `List.*` — `first`, `last`, `flatten`, `zip`, `unzip`, `keystore`, `keyfind`,
+      `wrap`, `duplicate`, `improper?`, `delete`, `insert_at`, `replace_at`
+- [ ] `Tuple.*` — `to_list`, `from_list`, `append`, `insert_at`, `delete_at`
+- [ ] `Integer.*` / `Float.*` — `parse`, `to_string`, `digits`, `pow`, `is_odd?`, `is_even?`
+- [ ] `IO.*` — `puts`, `gets`, `inspect`, `write`, `read` → SX IO perform
+- [ ] `Kernel.*` — built-in functions: `is_integer?`, `is_binary?`, `length`, `hd`, `tl`,
+      `elem`, `put_elem`, `apply`, `raise`, `exit`, `inspect`
+- [ ] `inspect/1` / `IO.inspect/2` — debug printing using `Inspect` protocol

+# Elm-on-SX: Elm 0.19 on the CEK/VM
+
+Compile Elm source to SX AST; the existing CEK evaluator runs it. The unique angle: SX's
+reactive island system (`defisland`, signals, `provide`/`context`) is a natural host for
+The Elm Architecture — Model/Update/View maps almost directly onto SX's reactive runtime.
+This is the only language in the set that targets SX's browser-side reactivity rather than
+the server-side evaluator.
+
+End-state goal: **core Elm programs running in the browser via SX islands**, with The Elm
+Architecture wired to SX signals. Not a full Elm compiler — no exhaustiveness checking, no
+module system, no type inference — but a faithful runtime that can run Elm programs written
+in idiomatic style.
+
+## Ground rules
+
+- **Scope:** only touch `lib/elm/**` and `plans/elm-on-sx.md`. Do **not** edit `spec/`,
+  `hosts/`, `shared/`, or other `lib/<lang>/`.
+- **Shared-file issues** go under "Blockers" below with a minimal repro; do not fix here.
+- **SX files:** use `sx-tree` MCP tools only.
+- **Architecture:** Elm source → Elm AST → SX AST. No standalone Elm evaluator.
+- **Type system:** defer. Focus on runtime semantics. Type errors surface at eval time.
+- **Commits:** one feature per commit. Keep `## Progress log` updated and tick boxes.

+
+Key semantic mappings:
+- `Model` → SX signal (`make-signal`)
+- `update : Msg -> Model -> Model` → SX signal updater (called on each message)
+- `view : Model -> Html Msg` → SX component (re-renders on model signal change)
+- `Cmd` → SX `perform` IO request
+- `Sub` → SX event listener registered via `dom-listen`
+- `Maybe a` → `nil` (Nothing) or value (Just a) — uses ADTs from Phase 6 of primitives
+- `Result a b` → ADT `(Ok val)` / `(Err err)`
+
+## Roadmap
+
+### Phase 1 — tokenizer + parser

+- [ ] Demo: counter app (`init=0`, `update Increment m = m+1`, `view` shows count + button)
+
+### Phase 4 — Cmds and Subs
+- [ ] `Cmd` — mapped to SX `perform` IO requests. `Cmd.none`, `Cmd.batch`

+# Go-on-SX: Go on the CEK/VM
+
+Compile Go source to SX AST; the existing CEK evaluator runs it. The unique angle: Go's
+goroutines and channels map cleanly onto SX's IO suspension machinery (`perform`/`cek-resume`)
+— a goroutine is a `cek-step-loop` running in a cooperative scheduler, a channel send/receive
+is a `perform` that suspends until the other end is ready.
+
+End-state goal: **core Go programs running**, including goroutines, channels, defer/panic/recover,
+interfaces, and structs. Not a full Go compiler — no generics, no CGo, no full stdlib — but
+a faithful runtime for idiomatic Go concurrent programs.

+Key semantic mappings:
+- `go fn()` → spawn new coroutine (SX coroutine primitive, Phase 4 of primitives)
+- `ch <- v` (send) → `perform` that suspends until receiver ready; scheduler picks next goroutine
+- `v := <-ch` (receive) → `perform` that suspends until sender ready
+- `select { case ... }` → scheduler checks all channel readiness, picks first ready
+- `defer fn()` → push onto a per-goroutine defer stack; run on return/panic
+- `panic(v)` → `raise` the value; `recover()` catches it in deferred function
+- `interface{}` → any SX value (duck typed)
+- `struct { ... }` → SX hash table with field names as keys
+- `slice` → SX vector with length + capacity metadata
+- `map[K]V` → SX mutable hash table (Phase 10 of primitives)
+
+## Roadmap
+
+### Phase 1 — tokenizer + parser
+- [ ] Tokenizer: keywords (`package`, `import`, `func`, `var`, `const`, `type`, `struct`,
+      `interface`, `go`, `chan`, `select`, `defer`, `return`, `if`, `else`, `for`, `range`,
+      `switch`, `case`, `default`, `break`, `continue`, `goto`, `fallthrough`, `map`,

+      (interpreted + raw `` `...` ``), rune literals `'a'`, number literals (int, float, hex,
+      octal, binary, complex), operators, slices `[:]`
+- [ ] Parser: package clause, imports, top-level `func`/`var`/`const`/`type`; function
+      bodies: short variable decl `:=`, assignments, `if`/`else`, `for`/`range`, `switch`,
+      `return`, struct literals, slice literals, map literals, composite literals, type
+      assertions `v.(T)`, method calls `v.Method(args)`, goroutine `go`, channel ops
+      `<-ch`, `ch <- v`, `defer`, `select`
+- [ ] Tests in `lib/go/tests/parse.sx`
+
+### Phase 2 — transpile: basic Go (no goroutines)
+- [ ] `go-eval-ast` entry
+- [ ] Arithmetic, string ops, comparison, boolean
+- [ ] Variables, short decl, assignment, multiple assignment
+- [ ] `if`/`else if`/`else`
+- [ ] `for` (C-style), `for range` over slice/map/string
+- [ ] Functions: named + anonymous, multiple return values (SX multiple values, Phase 8)
+- [ ] Structs → SX hash tables; field access `.field`; struct literals `T{f: v}`
+- [ ] Slices → SX vectors; `len`, `cap`, `append`, `copy`, slice expressions `s[a:b]`
+- [ ] Maps → SX hash tables; `make(map[K]V)`, `m[k]`, `m[k] = v`, `delete(m, k)`,
+      comma-ok `v, ok := m[k]`
+- [ ] Pointers — modelled as single-element mutable vectors; `&x` creates wrapper, `*p` dereferences
+- [ ] `fmt.Println`/`fmt.Printf`/`fmt.Sprintf` → SX IO perform (print)
+- [ ] 40+ eval tests in `lib/go/tests/eval.sx`
+
+### Phase 3 — defer / panic / recover
+- [ ] Defer stack per function frame — SX list of thunks, run LIFO on return
+- [ ] `defer` statement pushes thunk; transpiler wraps function body in try/finally equivalent
+- [ ] `panic(v)` → `raise` with Go panic wrapper
+- [ ] `recover()` → catches panic value inside a deferred function; returns nil otherwise
+- [ ] Panic propagation across call stack until recovered or fatal
+- [ ] Tests: defer ordering, panic/recover, panic in goroutine without recover
+
+### Phase 4 — goroutines + channels
+- [ ] Coroutine-based goroutine type using SX coroutine primitive (Phase 4 of primitives)
+- [ ] Round-robin scheduler in `lib/go/runtime.sx`: maintains run queue, steps each
+      goroutine one turn at a time, suspends at channel ops
+- [ ] Unbuffered channels: `make(chan T)` → rendezvous point; send suspends until receive
+      and vice versa. Implemented as a pair of waiting queues + `cek-resume`.
+- [ ] Buffered channels: `make(chan T, n)` → circular buffer; send only blocks when full,
+      receive only blocks when empty
+- [ ] `close(ch)` — mark channel closed; receivers drain then get zero value + `false`
+- [ ] `select` — scheduler inspects all cases, picks a ready one (random if multiple),
+      blocks if none ready until at least one becomes ready
+- [ ] `go fn(args)` — spawns new goroutine on run queue
+- [ ] `time.Sleep(d)` — yields current goroutine, re-queues after d milliseconds
+      (simulated with IO perform timer)
+- [ ] Tests: ping-pong, fan-out, fan-in, select with default, range over channel
+
+### Phase 5 — interfaces
+- [ ] Interface type → SX dict `{:type "T" :methods {...}}` dispatch table
+- [ ] `interface{}` / `any` → any SX value (already implicit)
+- [ ] Type assertion `v.(T)` → check `:type` field, panic if mismatch
+- [ ] Type switch `switch v.(type) { case T: ... }` → dispatches on `:type`
+- [ ] Method sets — structs implement interfaces implicitly if they have the right methods
+- [ ] Value vs pointer receivers — pointer receiver gets the mutable vector wrapper
+- [ ] Built-in interfaces: `error` (`Error() string`), `Stringer` (`String() string`)
+- [ ] Tests: interface satisfaction, type assertion, type switch, error interface
+
+### Phase 6 — standard library subset
+- [ ] `fmt` — `Println`, `Printf`, `Sprintf`, `Fprintf`, `Errorf`, `Stringer` dispatch
+- [ ] `strings` — `Contains`, `HasPrefix`, `HasSuffix`, `Split`, `Join`, `TrimSpace`,
+      `ToUpper`, `ToLower`, `Replace`, `Index`, `Count`, `Repeat`
+- [ ] `strconv` — `Itoa`, `Atoi`, `FormatFloat`, `ParseFloat`, `ParseInt`, `FormatInt`
+- [ ] `math` — full surface via SX math primitives (Phase 15)
+- [ ] `sort` — `sort.Slice`, `sort.Ints`, `sort.Strings`
+- [ ] `errors` — `errors.New`, `errors.Is`, `errors.As`
+- [ ] `sync` — `sync.Mutex` (cooperative — just a boolean flag + goroutine queue),
+      `sync.WaitGroup`, `sync.Once`
+- [ ] `io` — `io.Reader`/`io.Writer` interfaces; `io.ReadAll`; `strings.NewReader`
+
+### Phase 7 — full conformance target

+# HS Conformance — Bucket F Plan
+
+Based on a full suite run on 2026-04-26. Current score: **~1297/1489 covered** (~87%).
+Skipped from runs: tests 197–200 (hypertrace, slow), 615 (slow), 1197–1198 (repeat-forever timeouts).
+
+**⚠ Updated 2026-04-26:** The hs-loop completed significant Bucket D work before being stopped.
+`hs-f` branches from `loops/hs` HEAD which already includes:
+- MutationObserver mock + `on mutation` dispatch (+7) → **Group 4 likely done**
+- Cookie API partial (+3/5) → **Group 5 partially done**
+- `elsewhere`/`from elsewhere` + count filters (+7) → **Group 3a/3c partially done**
+- Namespaced `def` (+3) → already done
+- SourceInfo E38 (+4) + WebWorker E39 (+1) → already merged
+
+**The Bucket F agent must run `hs_test_run` on each group's suite before implementing,
+to verify what's actually still failing. Skip any group that already passes.**
+
+Total remaining failures: ~193. Broken into groups below.
+
+---
+
+## Group 0 — Bucket E payoff (~47 tests, will land automatically)
+
+These are already implemented or in-flight on Bucket E branches. Once merged they close ~47 tests.
+
+| Suite | Tests | Status |
+|-------|------:|-------|
+| `hs-upstream-core/tokenizer` | 17 | E37 in progress |
+| `hs-upstream-socket` | 16 | E36 in progress |
+| `hs-upstream-fetch` | 8 | E40 in progress |
+| `hs-upstream-core/sourceInfo` | 4 | E38 done, not yet merged |
+| `hs-upstream-worker` | 1 | E39 done, not yet merged |
+| E37 string interpolation bug | 1 | E37 |
+
+**Do not plan these — they resolve when Bucket E merges.**
+
+---
+
+## Group 1 — Null safety reporting (+7)
+
+**Suite:** `hs-upstream-core/runtimeErrors`  
+**Failures:** 7 tests, all "Expected `'#doesntExist' is null`, got ``"  
+**What's needed:** When a command like `put`, `increment`, `decrement`, `default`, `remove`, `settle`, `transition` receives a null element (e.g. `#doesntExist`), HS must throw a structured null-safety error with the element reference in the message. The null check + error format is already designed in Bucket D #31 (cluster 31 of `hs-conformance-to-100.md`).
+
+**Estimate:** +7. Straightforward — null guard at command dispatch entry.
+
+---
+
+## Group 2 — `tell` semantics (+3)
+
+**Suite:** `hs-upstream-tell`  
+**Failures:**
+- `attributes refer to the thing being told` — Expected `bar`, got ``
+- `your symbol represents the thing being told` — Expected `foo`, got ``
+- `does not overwrite the me symbol` — assertion fail
+
+**What's needed:** Inside a `tell X` block, `you`/`your` must resolve to X, attribute refs must resolve against X, and `me` must retain its original value (not be rebound to X). Currently `tell` rebinds `me` instead of introducing a separate `you` binding.
+
+**Estimate:** +3. Scoping fix in the `tell` command handler.
+
+---
+
+## Group 3 — `on` event handler features (+19, skip-list)
+
+**Suite:** `hs-upstream-on`  
+**34 tests on skip-list.** Prioritise tractable subsets:
+
+### 3a — Event filtering by count (+6)
+- `can filter events based on count`
+- `can filter events based on count range`
+- `can filter events based on unbounded count range`
+- `can mix ranges`
+- `on first click fires only once`
+- `multiple event handlers at a time are allowed to execute with the every keyword`
+
+The `on (N)`, `on (N to M)`, `on first`, `every` modifiers. Parser + runtime counter state per handler.
+
+### 3b — `finally` blocks (+6)
+- `basic finally blocks work`
+- `async basic finally blocks work`
+- `exceptions in finally block don't kill the event queue`
+- `async exceptions in finally block don't kill the event queue`
+- `finally blocks work when exception thrown in catch`
+- `async finally blocks work when exception thrown in catch`
+
+`on … catch … finally` analogous to JS try/catch/finally. Needs a finally-frame in the CEK machine (similar to dynamic-wind).
+
+### 3c — `elsewhere` modifier (+2)
+- `supports "elsewhere" modifier`
+- `supports "from elsewhere" modifier`
+
+`on click elsewhere` = click outside the element. Needs a global listener + target exclusion check.
+
+### 3d — Exception events (+3)
+- `rethrown exceptions trigger 'exception' event`
+- `uncaught exceptions trigger 'exception' event`
+- `can catch exceptions thrown in hyperscript functions`
+- `can catch exceptions thrown in js functions`
+
+When an unhandled exception escapes an `on` handler, HS must dispatch an `exception` CustomEvent on the element.
+
+### 3e — Element removal cleanup (+2)
+- `listeners on other elements are removed when the registering element is removed`
+- `listeners on self are not removed when the element is removed`
+
+Cleanup hook via MutationObserver watching for element removal.
+
+### Deferred (skip-list, complex):
+- `can be in a top level script tag` — requires script tag re-initialisation
+- `can ignore when target doesn't exist` — target null guard
+- `can handle an or after a from clause` — parser edge case
+- `each behavior installation has its own event queue` — behavior isolation
+
+---
+
+## Group 4 — MutationObserver / `on mutation` (+10)
+
+**Suite:** `hs-upstream-on` (mutation subset, skip-list)  
+**Tests:**
+- `can listen for attribute mutations`
+- `can listen for attribute mutations on other elements`
+- `can listen for childList mutations`
+- `can listen for general mutations`
+- `can listen for multiple mutations`
+- `can listen for multiple mutations 2`
+- `can listen for specific attribute mutations`
+- `can pick event properties out by name`
+- `can pick detail fields out by name`
+- `attribute observers are persistent (not recreated on re-run)` (hs-upstream-when)
+
+**What's needed:** MutationObserver mock in the test runner (`hs-run-filtered.js`) + `on mutation` command in the parser/runtime. Already prototyped in Bucket D #32.
+
+**Estimate:** +10.
+
+---
+
+## Group 5 — Cookie API (+5)
+
+**Suite:** `hs-upstream-expressions/cookies`  
+All 5 tests untranslated. Cookie read/write as an expression: `cookies.name`, `set cookies.name to val`, `cookies.name is undefined`. Needs `document.cookie` mock in runner + cookie-expression parse path.
+
+**Estimate:** +5. Self-contained.
+
+---
+
+## Group 6 — Block literals (+4)
+
+**Suite:** `hs-upstream-expressions/blockLiteral`  
+All 4 untranslated. Syntax: `[x | x + 1]` — an inline lambda. Used as a first-class value passable to `map`, `filter` etc.
+
+- `basic block literals work`
+- `basic identity works`
+- `basic two arg identity works`
+- `can map an array`
+
+**Estimate:** +4. Parser addition + runtime callable wrapping.
+
+---
+
+## Group 7 — Async logical operators (+5)
+
+**Suite:** `hs-upstream-expressions/logicalOperator`  
+Promise-aware `and`/`or`:
+- `and short-circuits when lhs promise resolves to false`
+- `or short-circuits when lhs promise resolves to true`
+- `or evaluates rhs when lhs promise resolves to false`
+- `should short circuit with and expression`
+- `should short circuit with or expression`
+
+**What's needed:** `and`/`or` must await promise operands before short-circuiting. Currently they evaluate eagerly without awaiting.
+
+**Estimate:** +5. Async await integration in logical operator eval.
+
+---
+
+## Group 8 — `evalStatically` (+3)
+
+**Suite:** `hs-upstream-core/evalStatically`  
+- `throws on math expressions`
+- `throws on symbol references`
+- `throws on template strings`
+
+`_hyperscript.evaluate(src, {}, { throwErrors: true })` must throw synchronously for expressions with side-effects or unresolved symbols. Currently the static evaluator doesn't gate on `throwErrors`.
+
+**Estimate:** +3. Flag-gated error throw path.
+
+---
+
+## Group 9 — Parse error API (+6)
+
+**Suite:** `hs-upstream-core/parser` + `hs-upstream-core/bootstrap`  
+- `basic parse error messages work`
+- `fires hyperscript:parse-error event with all errors`
+- `parse error at EOF on trailing newline does not crash`
+- `_hyperscript() evaluate API still throws on first error`
+- `fires hyperscript:before:init and hyperscript:after:init` (bootstrap)
+- `hyperscript:before:init can cancel initialization` (bootstrap)
+
+**What's needed:**
+- Parser must emit a `hyperscript:parse-error` CustomEvent on `document` when compilation fails, with the error list as detail.
+- `hyperscript:before:init` / `hyperscript:after:init` lifecycle events dispatched around element initialization.
+- `before:init` can cancel (return false / `event.preventDefault()`).
+
+**Estimate:** +6. Event dispatch hooks in the bootstrap/init path.
+
+---
+
+## Group 10 — `as` expression conversions (+8)
+
+**Suite:** `hs-upstream-expressions/asExpression`  
+Currently 30/42 = 12 failures. Tractable subset:
+
+- `converts a NodeList into HTML` — NodeList → outerHTML join
+- `converts strings into fragments` — string → DocumentFragment
+- `converts elements into fragments` — element → DocumentFragment  
+- `converts arrays into fragments` — array of elements → DocumentFragment
+- `converts array as Set` — array → Set (dedup)
+- `converts object as Map` — object → Map
+- `can accept custom conversions` — `as MyType` via registered converter
+- `can use the a modifier if you like` — `as a Number` synonym
+
+Two already-broken non-skip failures:
+- `converts a complete form into Values` — Expected `dog`, got ``
+- `converts multiple selects with programmatically changed selections` — Expected `cat`, got `dog`
+
+**Estimate:** +8 for the tractable subset. Custom converters and Map/Set require runtime additions.
+
+---
+
+## Group 11 — Miscellaneous runtime bugs (+12)
+
+Small scattered failures, each 1–3 tests:
+
+| Suite | Failure | Likely cause |
+|-------|---------|-------------|
+| `hs-upstream-put` | `properly processes hyperscript` ×3 (got 40, expected 42) | Off-by-one in `put ... before/after` reprocessing |
+| `hs-upstream-put` | `waits on promises` | Promise await missing from put target eval |
+| `hs-upstream-js` | `can return values to _hyperscript` | JS block return value not threaded back |
+| `hs-upstream-js` | `can do both of the above` | Same |
+| `hs-upstream-js` | `handles rejected promises without hanging` | Rejected promise in js block uncaught |
+| `hs-upstream-set` | `set waits on promises` | Same as put |
+| `hs-upstream-set` | `can set into indirect style ref 3` | Indirect style ref path bug |
+| `hs-upstream-hide` | `retain original display` | `none` vs `block` display tracking |
+| `hs-upstream-toggle` | `toggle for fixed time` | Timed toggle assertion timing |
+| `hs-upstream-transition` | `initial value` | `initial` keyword not restoring computed value |
+| `hs-upstream-expressions/arrayLiteral` | `objects with _order` | `_order` internal key leaking into equality check |
+| `hs-upstream-core/bootstrap` | 4 bugs | Event handler bugs in reinit, cleanup, respond |
+| `hs-upstream-expressions/closest` | `where clause` | `where` consumed by `closest` instead of outer |
+| `hs-upstream-core/scoping` | 2 bugs | Pseudo-possessive, built-in variable clash |
+
+**Estimate:** +12 once individually triaged.
+
+---
+
+## Group 12 — Formerly "hard floor" — now in scope
+
+Initial assessment was wrong — these are medium difficulty, not genuinely hard. All 16 are worth attempting.
+
+| Suite | Tests | Actual difficulty | What's needed |
+|-------|------:|-------------------|---------------|
+| `hs-upstream-breakpoint` | 2 | **Trivial** | No-op parser command + generator translation. Design: `plans/designs/f-breakpoint.md` |
+| `hs-upstream-expressions/logicalOperator` (unparenthesized error) | 2 | Low | Parser strictness: `1 + 2 + 3` should throw "ambiguous operator precedence" |
+| `hs-upstream-core/security` | 1 | Medium | `_hyperscript.config.disableScripting = true` guard at `hs-activate!` time |
+| `hs-upstream-expressions/asExpression` (Date, custom dynamic) | 3 | Medium | `as a Date` → `new Date(val)`; custom converters via `_hyperscript.addType` registry |
+| `hs-upstream-on` (remaining skip-list) | ~8 | Medium | Script tag reinit (MutationObserver on `<script>` changes); behavior isolation queue |
+
+**Breakpoint** — both tests just check that `breakpoint` *parses* without throwing. No devtools. See design doc.
+
+**Security** — test creates a div with `_="on click add .foo"`, activates it, clicks, asserts `.foo` is NOT added. This is a `disableScripting` config flag: when set, `hs-activate!` skips initialisation. One guard at activation entry.
+
+**Unparenthesized operator error** — `1 + 2 + 3` in HS is ambiguous (no defined associativity for chained operators). Parser should throw a parse error rather than silently picking left-associativity. Needs a "multiple operators at same precedence level" check after parsing a binary expression.
+
+**Sequence these last** — after groups 1–11 are done. Breakpoint is a 30-min job and should be pulled into the quick-wins batch.

+# Koka-on-SX: Koka on the CEK/VM
+
+Implement a Koka interpreter on SX. The unique angle: Koka's algebraic effects and
+handlers map directly onto SX's `perform`/`cek-resume` machinery — this is the language
+that will stress-test whether SX's effect system is principled enough, and expose any
+gaps. Every other language in the set works around effects ad-hoc; Koka makes them the
+primary abstraction.
+
+End-state goal: **core Koka programs running on the SX CEK evaluator**, with algebraic
+effect handlers wired through `perform`/`cek-resume`. Not a full Koka compiler — no type
+inference, no row-polymorphic effect types, no LLVM backend — but a faithful runtime for
+idiomatic Koka programs.
+
+## What Koka adds that nothing else covers
+
+- **Structured effect declarations**: `effect state<s> { fun get() : s; fun set(s) : () }`
+  — named, typed effect operations, not just untyped `perform` tokens
+- **Resumable handlers**: `handler { return(x) -> x; get() -> resume(0); set(x) -> resume(()) }`
+  — multi-shot continuations, handlers as first-class values
+- **Effect polymorphism**: functions declare their effect set (`a -> <state<int>,console> b`)
+  — exposes whether SX can track which effects are in scope
+- **Tail-resumptive handlers**: most practical handlers resume exactly once, which should
+  be optimisable — tests whether the CEK machine can detect and collapse this
+- **Algebraic data types as the foundation**: `type maybe<a> { Nothing; Just(value: a) }`
+  — exercises the Phase 6 ADT primitive directly
+
+## Ground rules
+
+- **Scope:** only touch `lib/koka/**` and `plans/koka-on-sx.md`. Do **not** edit `spec/`,
+  `hosts/`, `shared/`, or other `lib/<lang>/`.
+- **Shared-file issues** go under "Blockers" below with a minimal repro; do not fix here.
+- **SX files:** use `sx-tree` MCP tools only.
+- **Architecture:** Koka source → Koka AST → interpret directly via CEK. No separate
+  Koka evaluator — host the semantics in SX, run on the existing CEK machine.
+- **Effect types:** defer type inference entirely. Track effects at runtime only — an
+  unhandled effect at the top level raises a runtime error, not a type error.
+- **Commits:** one feature per commit. Keep `## Progress log` updated and tick boxes.
+

+| `val x = expr` | `(let ((x expr)) ...)` |
+| `effect E { fun op() : t }` | register effect tag `E/op` in effect env |
+| `op()` inside handler scope | `(perform (list "E" "op" args))` |
+| `handler { return(x)->e; op()->resume(v) }` | `(guard ...)` + `cek-resume` |
+| `with handler { body }` | install handler for duration of body |
+| `match x { Nothing -> e1; Just(v) -> e2 }` | SX `(match x ...)` via Phase 6 ADT |
+| `type maybe<a> { Nothing; Just(value:a) }` | `(define-type maybe (Nothing) (Just value))` |
+| `resume(v)` in handler | `(cek-resume k v)` where k is captured continuation |
+| `return(x) -> expr` | final-value clause when no effect fires |
+
+## Koka semantics in brief
+
+### Effects and handlers
+
+```koka
+effect console
+  fun println(s : string) : ()
+
+fun greet(name : string) : <console> ()
+  println("Hello, " ++ name)
+
+fun main()
+  with handler
+    return(x) -> x
+    println(s) -> { print-string(s ++ "\n"); resume(()) }
+  greet("world")
+```
+
+- `effect console` declares an effect with one operation `println`
+- `greet` uses `console` — any call to `println` inside will look up the nearest
+  enclosing handler
+- `with handler { ... }` installs a handler; `resume(())` continues the suspended
+  computation
+
+### Multi-shot resumption
+
+```koka
+effect choice
+  fun choose() : bool
+
+fun xor(p : bool, q : bool) : <choice> bool
+  val a = choose()
+  val b = choose()
+  (a || b) && !(a && b)
+
+fun all-results()
+  with handler
+    return(x) -> [x]
+    choose() -> resume(True) ++ resume(False)
+  xor(True, False)
+// => [True, True, False, True]
+```
+
+This is the test that exposes whether `cek-resume` supports multi-shot (calling the
+same continuation twice). SX's delimited continuations do support this — Koka will
+verify it end-to-end.
+
+## Roadmap
+
+### Phase 1 — Tokenizer + parser (core expressions)
+
+- [ ] Tokenizer: keywords (`fun`, `val`, `effect`, `handler`, `with`, `match`, `return`,
+      `resume`, `type`, `alias`, `if`, `then`, `else`, `fn`), operators (`++`, `->`,
+      `|>`, `:`, `<`, `>`, `,`), identifiers, numbers, strings, booleans
+- [ ] Parser — expressions:
+      - literals: int, float, bool (`True`/`False`), string
+      - `val x = e` bindings
+      - `fun f(x, y) body` definitions
+      - `if c then e1 else e2`
+      - `match x { Pat -> e; ... }`
+      - lambda `fn(x) -> e`
+      - function application `f(x, y)`
+      - infix operators: `++`, `+`, `-`, `*`, `/`, `==`, `!=`, `<`, `>`, `&&`, `||`
+      - pipe `|>`: `x |> f` = `f(x)`
+- [ ] Tests: `lib/koka/tests/parse.sx` — 40+ parse round-trip tests
+
+### Phase 2 — ADT definitions + match
+
+- [ ] Parser: `type name<a> { Ctor1; Ctor2(field: t); ... }` declarations
+- [ ] Eval: map to SX `define-type` + `match` (requires Phase 6 primitives)
+- [ ] Built-in: `maybe<a>` (Nothing / Just), `result<a,e>` (Ok / Error), `list<a>` (Nil / Cons)
+- [ ] Tests: ADT construction, matching, nested patterns — 25+ tests
+
+### Phase 3 — Core evaluator
+
+- [ ] `koka-eval` entry: walks Koka AST, evaluates in SX env
+- [ ] Arithmetic, string `++`, comparison, boolean ops
+- [ ] `val`/`let` binding
+- [ ] Function definitions and application (first-class functions)
+- [ ] `if`/`then`/`else`
+- [ ] `match` with constructor, literal, variable, wildcard patterns
+- [ ] Basic list ops: `map`, `filter`, `foldl`, `length`, `head`, `tail`
+- [ ] Tests: `lib/koka/tests/eval.sx` — 40+ tests, pure expressions only
+
+### Phase 4 — Effect system
+
+- [ ] Effect declaration: `(koka-declare-effect! "console" (list "println"))`
+      registers operations in a global effect registry
+- [ ] Effect operation call: when `println(s)` is evaluated inside a handler scope,
+      emit `(perform (list :effect "console" :op "println" :args (list s)))`
+- [ ] Handler installation: `with handler { return(x)->e; println(s)->resume(v) }`
+      installs a `guard`-like frame that catches `perform` signals matching the effect,
+      binds arguments, and exposes `resume` as a callable that invokes `cek-resume`
+- [ ] `resume(v)`: calls `(cek-resume captured-k v)` where `captured-k` is the
+      continuation captured at the `perform` point
+- [ ] `return(x) -> e` clause: handles the normal return value when no effect fires
+- [ ] Tests: `lib/koka/tests/effects.sx` — 30+ tests:
+      - basic handler (state, console, exception)
+      - unhandled effect → runtime error
+      - nested handlers (inner shadows outer)
+      - multi-shot resumption (choice effect — the key test)
+      - tail-resumptive handler (resumes exactly once — verify no extra allocation)
+
+### Phase 5 — Standard effect library
+
+- [ ] `console` effect: `println`, `print`, `readline` (mock)
+- [ ] `exn` effect: `throw`, `catch` wrappers
+- [ ] `state<s>` effect: `get`, `set`, `modify`
+- [ ] `async` effect: `await` mapped to SX `perform` IO suspension
+- [ ] Tests: programs using each stdlib effect — 20+ tests
+
+### Phase 6 — Classic Koka programs as integration tests
+
+- [ ] `counter.koka` — stateful counter via state effect
+- [ ] `choice.koka` — multi-shot choice generating all results
+- [ ] `iterator.koka` — yield-based iteration via a custom effect
+- [ ] `exception.koka` — structured exception handling
+- [ ] `coroutine.koka` — producer/consumer via two interleaved effects
+- [ ] Each as a self-contained test in `lib/koka/tests/programs.sx`
+
+## Key blockers / dependencies
+
+- **Phase 6 ADT primitive** (`define-type`/`match`) — required before Phase 2.
+  Track: `plans/agent-briefings/primitives-loop.md` Phase 6.
+- **Multi-shot continuations** — `cek-resume` must support calling the same
+  continuation multiple times. Verify with: `(let ((k #f)) (perform 'x) ...)` called
+  twice. This should already work given the multi-shot delimited continuation work.
+- **Effect handler stack** — SX's `guard` is not quite the right primitive for
+  deep-handler semantics. May need `(with-handler effect-tag handler-fn body)` as a
+  new evaluator form, or can be emulated via `guard` + `perform` reshaping.
+
+## Comparison to other languages in the set
+
+| Language | Effect model |
+|----------|-------------|
+| Lua | none (errors only) |
+| Prolog | none (cuts only) |
+| Erlang | message-passing (not algebraic) |
+| Haskell | IO monad (monadic, not algebraic) |
+| JS | promise/async-await (one-shot) |
+| Ruby | exceptions + fibers |
+| **Koka** | **algebraic effects + multi-shot handlers** |
+
+Koka is the only language that uses SX's effect system as its *primary* computational
+model. It will expose whether `perform`/`cek-resume` is sufficient or needs typed effect
+tagging, scoping rules, and a handler stack distinct from `guard`.
