Clicking a blog link now fragment-swaps #content with URL push + working back
button, no full reload — the SX-htmx engine driving the same OCaml kernel the
server runs. Six bugs in the source-load + boost path, found by bisecting in
chromium, all fixed:
1. Import double-apply (sx_server.ml x2, sx_browser.ml): the import suspension
handlers computed `key = library_name_key lib_spec` then called
`library_loaded_p key` — but library_loaded_p applies library_name_key
itself, so it ran sx_to_list on a string and crashed ("Expected list, got
string"). Only unloaded libs suspend, so it only bit lazy imports. Pass the
spec, not the key.
2. Unloaded-import crash (spec/evaluator.sx + sx_ref.ml library_exports): an
import of a not-yet-loaded library returned nil exports, and bind-import-set
did (keys nil) -> crash. Return an empty dict so the import is a graceful
no-op (lazy symbol resolution covers real usage).
3. value_to_js missing Integer (sx_browser.ml): integers passed to host methods
were mishandled, so dom-query-all's (host-call node-list "item" i) ignored i
and returned node 0 for every index — every element aliased the first, so
only one link ever boosted. Add the Integer -> JS number case.
4. browser-same-origin? rejected relative URLs (browser.sx x2): it only did
(starts-with? url origin), so "/alpha/" was treated as cross-origin and
should-boost-link? refused every relative link. Accept scheme-less,
non-protocol-relative URLs.
5. dom-query-in undefined (orchestration.sx x2): the swap path called a function
that exists nowhere; it's just dom-query with a container arg.
6. Lazy-deps never loaded under source fallback (sx-platform.js): lazy symbol
resolution only fires on the VM GLOBAL_GET path, but source-loaded swap
callbacks run on the CEK and raise instead of lazy-loading, so the post-swap
hs-boot-subtree!/htmx-boot-subtree! were undefined and aborted URL push.
Preload the manifest's lazy-deps.
Verified: native host conformance 271/271; lib/host/playwright/spa-check 4/4
(boot, boost, fragment swap + URL push, back button) in real chromium against an
ephemeral durable host server.
Rose Ash
Monorepo for the Rose Ash cooperative platform — six Quart microservices sharing a common infrastructure layer, a single PostgreSQL database, and an ActivityPub federation layer.
Services
| Service | URL | Description |
|---|---|---|
| blog | blog.rose-ash.com | Content management, Ghost sync, navigation, editor |
| market | market.rose-ash.com | Product listings, scraping, market pages |
| cart | cart.rose-ash.com | Shopping cart, checkout, orders, SumUp payments |
| events | events.rose-ash.com | Calendar, event entries, container widgets |
| federation | federation.rose-ash.com | OAuth2 authorization server, ActivityPub hub, social features |
| account | account.rose-ash.com | User dashboard, newsletters, tickets, bookings |
All services are Python 3.11 / Quart apps served by Hypercorn, deployed as a Docker Swarm stack.

Key architecture patterns
Shared models — All ORM models live in shared/models/. Each app's models/ directory contains thin re-export stubs. factory.py imports all six apps' models at startup so SQLAlchemy relationship references resolve across domains.
Service contracts — Apps communicate through typed protocols (shared/contracts/protocols.py) and frozen dataclass DTOs (shared/contracts/dtos.py), wired via a singleton registry (shared/services/registry.py). No direct HTTP calls between apps for domain logic.
Fragment composition — Apps expose HTML fragments at /internal/fragments/<type> for cross-app UI composition. The blog fetches cart, account, navigation, and event fragments to compose its pages. Fragments are cached in Redis with short TTLs.
OAuth SSO — Federation is the OAuth2 authorization server. All other apps are OAuth clients with per-app first-party session cookies (Safari ITP compatible). Login/callback/logout routes are auto-registered via shared/infrastructure/oauth.py.
ActivityPub — Each app has its own AP actor (virtual projection of the same keypair). The federation app is the social hub (timeline, compose, follow, notifications). Activities are emitted to ap_activities table and processed by EventProcessor.
Development
Quick deploy (skip CI)
# Rebuild + restart one app
./deploy.sh blog
# Rebuild + restart multiple apps
./deploy.sh blog market
# Rebuild all
./deploy.sh --all
# Auto-detect changes from git
./deploy.sh
Full stack deploy
source .env
docker stack deploy -c docker-compose.yml coop
Build a single app image
docker build -f blog/Dockerfile -t registry.rose-ash.com:5000/blog:latest .
Run migrations
Migrations run automatically on the blog service startup when RUN_MIGRATIONS=true is set (only blog runs migrations; all other apps skip them).
# Manual migration
docker exec -it $(docker ps -qf name=coop_blog) bash -c "cd shared && alembic upgrade head"
CI/CD
A single Gitea Actions workflow (.gitea/workflows/ci.yml) handles all six apps:
- Detects which files changed since the last deploy
- If
shared/ordocker-compose.ymlchanged, rebuilds all apps - Otherwise rebuilds only apps with changes (or missing images)
- Pushes images to the private registry
- Runs
docker stack deployto update the swarm
Required secrets

DEPLOY_HOST |
Hostname or IP of the deploy server |
