Three bugs broke island SSR rendering of the home stepper widget:
1. Inline VM opcodes (OP_ADD..OP_DEC) broke JIT-compiled functions.
The compiler emitted single-byte opcodes for first/rest/len/= etc.
that produced wrong results in complex recursive code (sx-parse
returned nil, split-tag produced 1 step instead of 16). Reverted
compiler to use CALL_PRIM for all primitives. VM opcode handlers
kept for future use.
2. Named let (let loop ((x init)) body) had no compiler support —
silently produced broken bytecode. Added desugaring to letrec.
3. URL-encoded cookie values not decoded server-side. Client set-cookie
uses encodeURIComponent but Werkzeug doesn't decode cookie values.
Added unquote() in bridge cookie injection.
Also: call-lambda used eval_expr which copies Dict values (signals),
breaking mutations through aser lambda calls. Switched to cek_call.
Also: stepper preview now includes ~cssx/tw spreads for SSR styling.
Tests: 1317 JS, 1114 OCaml, 26 integration (2 pre-existing failures)
