The Clojure stdlib namespaces (clojure.string/set/walk/edn/zip, jolt.http/
interop/shell/nrepl) were loaded cwd-relative, so the built binary couldn't
load them outside the repo. Now stdlib_embed slurps them all at build time into
a {ns -> source} map frozen in the image, and the loader falls back to it when a
namespace isn't found on disk. The artifact is self-contained — clojure.string
works from any directory.
Drops the one-off nREPL source embed (jolt.nrepl is covered by this now). The
baked-in stdlib is excluded from uberscript bundles since it's part of the
runtime. clojure.core is unchanged (Janet, auto-referred).
Test: embedded-stdlib-test requires from the embedded copy with FS roots cleared.
Phase 3 — bundling. `jolt uberscript OUT -m NS` requires NS, uses the loader's
recorded load order (a dep finishes loading before its requirer, so it's
topological) to concatenate the used namespaces into one .clj that runs on a
plain jolt with no deps/jpm. `jolt-deps uberscript` resolves first. The loader
records loaded file paths when ctx env has :loaded-files.
Phase 4 — conformance. deps-conformance-test resolves real pure-cljc git libs
and reports load/run status, gated behind JOLT_CONFORMANCE so CI stays offline.
First run: medley works; cuerdas hits a reader gap (filed); stuartsierra/
dependency uses Long/MAX_VALUE (JVM interop, out of scope).
Tests: uberscript-test, deps-conformance-test (skips without the flag).
Move build details, JOLT_PATH/namespace resolution, and the jolt-deps/deps.edn
usage into doc/building-and-deps.md instead of growing the README; README Build
now links to it.
