- z3.sx: SX-to-SMT-LIB translator written in SX (359 lines), replaces Python translation logic - prove.sx: SMT-LIB satisfiability checker in SX — proves all 91 primitives sat by construction - Parser: support unicode characters (em-dash, accented letters) in symbols - Auto-resolve reader macros: #name finds name-translate in component env, no Python registration - Platform primitives: type-of, symbol-name, keyword-name, sx-parse registered in primitives.py - Cond heuristic: predicates ending in ? recognized as Clojure-style tests - Library loading: z3.sx loaded at startup with reload callbacks for hot-reload ordering - reader_z3.py: rewritten as thin shell delegating to z3.sx - Split monolithic .sx files: essays (22), plans (13), reactive-islands (6) into separate files Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

No, someone just decided to use it for HTML templates. Your IDE will need a parenthesis counter. Your code reviews will be 40% closing parens.
