list? was nil on Chez because one cseq record backs both lists and lazy/
realized seqs. Add a list? marker field (cseq v2) set only on the HEAD cell
of a list -- (list ...), quoted list literals, cons, reverse, conj onto a
list. rest/next/seq/map therefore yield unmarked seq cells, so they are
seqs and not list?, matching the seed (where rest-of-a-list is a non-list
seq). Empty () is treated as a list.
vector?: drop the map-entry exclusion. Clojure's MapEntry implements
IPersistentVector and the seed agrees -- (vector? (first {:a 1})) is true.
Only dot-forms' coll dispatch read jolt-vector?, where a 2-vector entry is
correct.
clojure.walk + clojure.template join the prelude stdlib tier. The driver
now evals each stdlib ns's requires -- and the ns form's (:require ...)
clause -- so an aliased ref (template's walk/postwalk-replace) resolves at
emit time instead of lowering to an Unknown class host-static. ns forms are
evaled for that side effect but not emitted, so the runtime *ns* doesn't
leak to the last stdlib ns.
Parity 2163 -> 2176, 0 new divergences. New test/chez/_walk.janet 39/39.
set/hash-map/hash-set/array-map/rand resolved to jolt-nil on the prelude
(the apply-jolt-nil crash bucket) — the pmap/pset ctors already existed in
collections.ss, just bind the public clojure.core names to them.
Map entries are now a distinct type: a pvec carries an ent flag (default #f),
so an entry equals its [k v] vector and walks like one (nth/count/seq/=/hash/
print read only v) but is not vector? and is map-entry? — matching Clojure's
MapEntry. seqing a map produces flagged entries; vector? excludes them. This
unblocks key/val (overlay fns gated on map-entry?) and the every? map-entry?
cases.
Prelude parity 1534 -> 1593, 0 new divergences. jolt-agw6.
Emit every non-macro clojure.core form through the live analyzer -> Chez emit
pipeline as a def-var! prelude (prelude mode, tier dependency order), load it
before a user expression, and you get an -e-capable jolt-chez: analysis on Janet,
execution on Chez. driver/emit-core-prelude assembles it (each form behind a
silent load guard so the Phase-2 multimethod forms don't break the rest);
bin/jolt-chez is the -e CLI, caching the prelude on disk keyed by source hash.
run-corpus-prelude.janet is the full parity gate this opens, the prelude-backed
sibling of run-corpus-chez. First baseline: 1220/2497 evaluated cases pass, 0 new
divergences (10 allowlisted: dynamic vars, class names, eval-order — deferred
Phase 2). The rest is the punch-list: ~360 emit-fail (real host interop, out of
the analyzer subset) and ~900 runtime crashes, mostly core fns calling
host-coupled seed natives with no Chez shim yet (str/format/vec, transients).
Follow-ups jolt-t6cr/kl2l/q3w8/9ls5.
Two shims landed to get the prelude to load and run. atoms.ss: atom/deref/swap!/
reset! (+ the compare/vals kernel) — needed at load time for
global-hierarchy = (atom (make-hierarchy)). predicates.ss: the type predicates +
name/namespace/boolean the overlay assumes are seed natives, matching the seed's
strict semantics. post-prelude.ss re-asserts char?/atom? after the prelude: the
overlay implements those by reading :jolt/type, which is false for Chez-native
chars/atoms, so its def-var! would clobber the correct native versions.
Per-case Scheme files are PID-unique so a foreground -e never reads a half-written
file while the gate runs.
