irregex rejected two patterns the JVM accepts, which blocked library loads:
- [\w-_] errored with bad char-set because a - after a shorthand class was
read as a range start. Java reads it as a literal hyphen. Preprocess the
pattern to escape such a dash.
- (X+)* errored with duplicate repetition because sre-repeater? recurses
through submatch, treating a quantified group like a dangling a**. Override
it to a bare leading * / + check, matching the JVM (which only rejects the
dangling case).
Both in regex.ss (runtime). Unblocks cuerdas (was load-fail, now 292 passing)
and aws-api config-test. Also documents the host/chez/java source-layering rule
in host-interop.md.

Shaking out clojure.core.memoize (207 assertions, 0 fail) cleared several
general gaps:
- deref/@ on a deftype or reify implementing clojure.lang.IDeref dispatches to
its deref method (RetryingDelay / make-derefable).
- deftype mutable fields (^:unsynchronized-mutable / ^:volatile-mutable) are
read live: a set! within a method is observed by a later read in the same
invocation, not the entry-time capture. Needed for double-checked locking.
Immutable fields stay let-bound. Field reads rewrite to (.-field inst) with
lexical-shadow tracking.
- def metadata values are evaluated, like Clojure: ^{:k (f)} stores (f)'s
result and ^{:af some-fn} the fn. :tag stays a literal hint.
- try dispatches catch clauses by class in order via the exception supertype
hierarchy; a non-matching value re-throws, an untyped host condition is caught
by a RuntimeException/Exception/Throwable clause. Previously the last clause
won and the class was ignored.
- locking takes a real per-object monitor (recursive Chez mutex) now that
futures/agents/threads share one heap; it was a no-op.
- supers/ancestors reflect a small modeled JVM interface hierarchy, so
(ancestors (class f)) yields Runnable/Callable (core.memoize's arg check).
- AssertionError / Error constructors.
JOLT_FEATURES is gone from the docs: it isn't read anywhere on Chez, and the
reader already includes :clj in its default feature set. RFC 0002's
{:jolt :default} design was reverted in the reader; docs now match the code.
Raises the SCI floor 205 -> 210.
Expand java.io so libraries that touch the filesystem work unchanged.
File: the full method surface — length, lastModified, can{Read,Write,Execute},
isHidden, list, mkdir(s), delete, createNewFile, renameTo, getParentFile,
get{Absolute,Canonical}File, compareTo/equals/hashCode — plus the statics
separator / pathSeparator / createTempFile / listRoots. A File now keeps the
path as given (new File("rel").getPath() is "rel", .isAbsolute false); a
relative path resolves against JOLT_PWD only when the filesystem is touched,
matching the JVM. slurp/spit and the dir helpers go through the same
resolution, fixing a spit-vs-slurp inconsistency.
Streams (host/chez/io-streams.ss) — each a jhost wrapping a Chez port, so
buffering, EOF and binary<->char transcoding come from Chez:
- FileInputStream / FileOutputStream / ByteArrayInputStream /
ByteArrayOutputStream / BufferedInputStream / BufferedOutputStream
- FileReader / FileWriter / InputStreamReader / OutputStreamWriter /
BufferedReader / BufferedWriter
Buffered* return the wrapped stream (Chez ports are already buffered).
clojure.java.io: input-stream/output-stream now yield real byte streams (were
aliased to the char reader/writer); added copy (byte-exact for byte sources),
make-parents, delete-file. with-open also closes file-writer/port-writer/
print-writer (a pre-existing gap).
All runtime shims, no re-mint. 15 JVM-certified corpus rows; make test +
shakesmoke green.
Rename src/jolt -> stdlib (the runtime-loaded layer; jolt-core stays the
seed-baked layer) and update the loader / emit-image / doc paths. Drop dead
code: the spike/ experiments, the duplicate clojuredocs-export.edn (json moves
to tools/), the Janet-era jolt.http binding, and the orphaned
persistent_vector.clj whose ns/path didn't even match.
Strip porting residue from comments and docstrings across host/chez, jolt-core,
stdlib, tests, and docs: internal issue ids, "Phase N" markers, and the "vs
Janet" historical exposition, leaving present-tense descriptions and the real
JVM-Clojure semantic contrasts. Same pass over the corpus suite labels. The seed
is unchanged (docstrings/comments aren't emitted), so the self-host fixpoint and
corpus are untouched.
Port tools/spec_coverage.py off the dead janet probe to bin/joltc and regenerate
coverage.md; drop the dead :host/janet rule from certify.clj and regenerate the
conformance profile. Add docs/host-interop.md (the JVM shims and how to register
your own host class from a library) and a writing-style note in CLAUDE.md.
Stabilize the four racy concurrency corpus cases (future-cancel and agent
send/send-off): give the future a sleeping body and the agent a slow action, so
cancel reliably catches an in-flight future and deref reliably reads the
pre-update snapshot. They certify deterministically now, so drop their :flaky
allowlist entries and the orphaned legend.
