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.
* Fix four bugs surfaced by the commonmark-app example
- regex: bounded quantifiers {n,m} no longer expand exponentially. The
desugaring inlined the continuation per optional level, doubling it each
time, so {0,61} built a PEG the compiler expanded to ~2^61 nodes and hung.
Each level is now its own grammar rule referenced by name (jolt-3xur).
- strings are a seqable of chars for vec/set/into, matching seq. They went
through realize-for-iteration, which had no string case, so into/set got
raw bytes (code points) and set threw; vec used string/from-bytes (1-char
strings). realize-for-iteration now maps make-char over the bytes, and
core-vec matches (jolt-dl4s).
- clojure.string/split takes Java Pattern.split limit semantics: negative
keeps trailing empties, 0/omitted drops them (a no-match result stays
[input]), positive caps the part count with the remainder unsplit. It used
to delegate the limit to take, so a negative limit returned [] and the
2-arg form never trimmed trailing empties (jolt-ik3a).
- System/exit is registered (maps to os/exit), so (System/exit n) works
(jolt-w2wf).
* regex: single-digit backreferences \1..\9 (jolt-xtss)
\1..\9 now match the text captured by the corresponding group, so
patterns like ([-*_])\1\1 or (\w+) \1 work. The parser records which
groups are referenced; a referenced group additionally captures its text
under a tag and the backref compiles to a PEG (backmatch). Only referenced
groups change — they match possessively (the CPS-over-possessive-PEG engine
can't backtrack into a tagged capture), so backtracking back into a
backreferenced group isn't supported (rare). Unreferenced groups keep full
backtracking and position-based result capture unchanged.

Pivot from a jolt reimplementation to running the upstream library verbatim.
Vendors the real clojure/tools/logging.clj; jolt provides the backend and the
host primitives it needs. Language features (broadly useful for real Clojure
libs), all covered in 3-mode conformance + spec suites:
- defmacro: multi-arity dispatch (jolt-q8l) and a docstring + attr-map + params
head (jolt-qnr) — the 4-arity log macro and every level macro need these.
- syntax-quote resolves an alias-qualified symbol to its target ns (jolt-9av),
so a macro template (impl/get-logger) resolves at the use site.
- the ns macro unwraps ^{:map} metadata on the ns name (jolt-8w2 workaround,
matching def/defn/defmacro).
- a namespace object self-evaluates, so ~*ns* can be spliced into a template.
Host shims (ported from / modeled on clojure where applicable):
- clojure.string/trim-newline (ported, CharSequence interop -> count/subs)
- agent/send-off/send (minimal synchronous stubs; jolt has no thread pool/STM)
- clojure.lang.LockingTransaction/isRunning -> false
- a minimal clojure.pprint (pprint/with-pprint-dispatch/code-dispatch, for spy)
- clojure.tools.logging.impl: a jolt stderr LoggerFactory backend (the library's
designed pluggable extension point)
docs/libraries.md lists tools.logging; grammar.ebnf metadata note clarified.
Conformance 355/355 x3 modes; full jpm test gate green.
Add spec suites for numbers/arithmetic, strings (str + clojure.string), and
type/value predicates. Bugs they caught and fixed:
- <, >, <=, >= were binary-only; now variadic ((< 1 2 3) chains)
- seq? was true for vectors; vectors are not ISeq in Clojure, so (seq? [1])
is now false (true only for lists/lazy-seqs)
- clojure.string/index-of and last-index-of were 1-based (stray inc); now
0-based per Clojure
Corrected a systematic-coverage assertion that encoded the old seq? bug.
jpm test green, conformance 218/218.
Push SCI loading much further: the giant clojure.core aggregation map in
namespaces.cljc now resolves ALL its symbols (it previously failed on dozens).
- host_stubs.clj: forward-decl no-op fns for SCI's host-layer modules
(parser/read/load/macroexpand/resolve/proxy/reify) — Jolt supplies its own
reader/loader, so these only need to resolve when the binding map is built.
Stubs are non-nil fns so :refer re-interns them (a nil-valued var is dropped).
- Load Jolt's clojure.string/set/walk/edn before namespaces.cljc.
- Add real clojure.core: ==, print-str, eduction/->Eduction,
seq-to-map-for-destructuring, split-lines, postwalk-demo/prewalk-demo,
+'/-'/*'/inc'/dec' (Jolt doesn't overflow, so == non-quoted), proxy-super
and friends (resolve-only, JVM-specific).
Fix a real require bug: eval-require stopped at the first option, so
[ns :as x :refer [...]] silently dropped the :refer. Now processes all options.
SCI load: clojure.core map now builds; only two forms remain (a Var-protocol
method on sci.lang.Var, and the clojure.repl namespace). conformance 218/218,
features 78/78, jank 120.
Resolve symbols that were unbound or leaking to broken Janet builtins:
- bit-clear/bit-set/bit-flip/bit-test/bit-and-not
- get-method/methods (multimethod introspection)
- second/ffirst/nfirst/fnext/nnext, last (was leaking to Janet, broke on pvec),
drop-last/take-last
- ident?/simple-symbol?/qualified-keyword?/simple-keyword?/simple-ident?/
qualified-ident?/inst?/inst-ms/uri?/uuid?/bytes?/tagged-literal?
- clojure.string/re-quote-replacement
Advances the SCI bootstrap; conformance 206/206, features 71/71.
