clojure.edn was nearly complete (sets, #uuid/#inst, :eof all landed earlier);
the :readers opt was ignored and :default missing. Both work now — the
reader stores a tag as a :#name keyword, so the lookup normalizes it to the
symbol Clojure keys :readers with; :default gets (tag value); built-in data
readers stay the fallback. 8 new edn spec rows. This was the last open item
of jolt-0mb (the vendored walk/zip/data/edn battery has been green for a
while: 34/33/61/50, all clean).
Chasing the probe cascade ('Unable to resolve symbol: edn/...' after one
error) found a real evaluator bug: an interpreted fn body runs with
current-ns rebound to its DEFINING ns and restores it with a plain trailing
call — an UNCAUGHT throw skips every restore on the way out, leaving the ctx
stuck in the deepest callee's ns, where alias-qualified lookups then fail
(the same cascade previously seen via sci). The repair lives at the
TOP-LEVEL boundary (loader/eval-toplevel saves the entry ns and restores it
on error before re-raising) — NOT per-call defer/try, which builds a fiber
per frame and blew the C stack on deep interpreted recursion (file-seq)
when tried first. Regression tests cover the cross-eval leak and that
aliases keep resolving.
test/spec/untested-vars-spec.janet adds 143 rows asserting jolt's documented
behavior for the whole implemented-untested category — primed arithmetic,
the array/aset/coercion stubs, unchecked-*, the chunk family, JVM-shape
stubs (class/bean/proxy/memfn as resolve-only or :throws), ns/REPL
machinery, and the misc seqs. tools/spec_coverage.py now checks each var as
a whole TOKEN in the test sources (call-position-only matching missed *1,
+', ., .., /, and bare transducer refs like cat).
Writing rows from probed truth surfaced five real bugs, all fixed:
- comp with a jolt-IFn stage silently returned nil ((comp seq :content)) —
raw Janet keyword application is not jolt invoke. comp is the canonical
overlay defn now (fixed-arity composed fn, so the hot 1-arg path is two
direct calls); the seed keeps a private td-comp only for the transducer
machinery. hof bench +9% vs native, the price of correct IFn dispatch.
- extend (the fn) was a nil-expanding stub MACRO shadowing any definition;
it's a real fn over register-method now, and extends? (a constant-false
stub) is real over extenders
- (.. x f g) hit the 'ClassName.' constructor branch (a name ending in a
dot) and died; .. is the canonical threading macro now
- aclone errored on pvecs; ns-interns/ns-imports returned live host tables
that count/seq reject (now structs)
Thread/sleep + Thread/yield land as Thread statics beside Math/: sleep parks
the WORKER's own event loop (each future thread has one), which makes timed
deref provably fire — futures-spec gains the timeout-fires, sleep-in-body,
and timed-out-future-still-completes rows. The futures impl itself already
ran on real OS threads (ev/spawn-thread + marshalled results); jolt-ejx was
stale.
Dashboard: implemented+tested 433 -> 564 of 694; implemented-untested and
missing-portable are both EMPTY. Gate: jpm exit 0, all tests passed.
The dashboard's missing-portable category is now EMPTY (was 35 when the issue
was filed; this session's io/leaf work had already landed most of them).
The final seven:
- extenders — ctx-capturing clojure.core fn over the protocol type-registry:
the type-tags implementing a protocol, as symbols; nil when none
- find-keyword — keyword: jolt keywords have no intern table, so it always
finds (babashka makes the same call)
- inst-ms* — the raw Inst method; one inst representation, so = inst-ms
- read+string — over the 50-io readers, which now expose :buf and :fill-fn;
returns [form exact-text-consumed], EOF throws or yields [eof-value ""]
with the 3-arity, works for string AND stdin readers
- with-local-vars — fresh free-standing var cells (__local-var seam) bound as
locals; var-get/var-set work on any cell
- with-open — canonical recursive expansion closing through the __close seam:
a map-like value's :close fn or a host file (no .close interop here);
nested closes run inner-first, finally runs on throw
- with-precision — body evaluates with precision/:rounding accepted and
ignored (doubles, no BigDecimal context) — documented divergence
30 new spec rows (test/spec/missing-vars-spec.janet); coverage.md
regenerated: implemented+tested 426 -> 433, missing-portable 7 -> 0.
Gate: jpm exit 0, all tests passed.
sort-by, rand-int, shuffle, random-uuid, char-escape-string, and
char-name-string move to 20-coll over the two host seams that stay (rand and
sort — they ARE the randomness/ordering primitives). Canonical upgrades ride
along: sort-by defaults its comparator to compare, so nil sorts FIRST (the
kernel fn used host ordering and put nil last); rand-int truncates toward
zero via int (the kernel fn floored, wrong for negative n); shuffle is a
pure-functional Fisher-Yates over vector assoc and rejects non-collections
(a string is seqable but not shuffleable, as on the JVM — the honest gate
caught that one); random-uuid builds over rand-int and validates through
parse-uuid; the char tables are char-keyed Clojure maps (Clojure's shape —
the seed keeps its private code-keyed copies for pr-render).
22 new spec rows. Gate: jpm test exit 0 verified, suite 4698 >= 4660, bench
parity with main back-to-back (4733 vs 4817).
recompile-defns! is the defn analog of recompile-macros!: pre/at-kernel
overlay defns (00-syntax's destructure and friends; the kernel tier too in
interpret mode) load as interpreted closures, the evaluator stashes their fn
source on the var (:defn-src, scoped by a flag only api/load-core-overlay!
sets), and the end-of-init pass compiles them and swaps the var root. With
that in place, keys/vals/empty? — the fns the 00-syntax expanders call at
expansion time — move to the top of 00-syntax as raw fn* defs (canonical:
keys/vals project (seq m), so sorted maps come back in comparator order and
(keys {}) is nil; empty? keeps O(1) count dispatch with seq's cell check only
for the lazy/list fallback). The sorted tier drops its now-dead :keys/:vals
ops.
Correctness fixes that surfaced once the gate was run with a REAL exit code
(the previous 'jpm test | grep' gates reported grep's exit and masked spec
failures across #48-#50):
- map conj is strict again: a non-nil/non-map arg must be a 2-element vector
('Vector arg to map conj must be a pair'), and merge inherits it — the
batch-2 canonical merge had silently dropped the validation
- conj onto a lazy seq prepends (it fell into the MAP fallback); upstream
clojure.data/diff relies on (conj seq x) via set/union over keys, so diff
now matches Clojure exactly
- (seq {}) / (seq #{}) / empty phm are nil, not ()
- key/val are strict (a plain vector is not an entry); find mints a REAL
entry as the first entry of a one-entry map, nil values intact
- the sci avoid-method-too-large stub passes its registry map through
instead of returning a raw host table (strict conj rejected it; sci's
clojure-core registry is also no longer discarded)
Test updates: lazy-infinite pins take-nth realization at 5 (was 7 — the
canonical lazy impl realizes fewer); self-host asserts the analyzer IS loaded
in interpret mode (compiled expanders, PR #50) and is NOT in the
:compile-macros? false oracle. 18 new maps-spec rows.
Gate: jpm test exit 0 (verified directly, not through a pipe), conformance
326x3, suite 4698 >= 4660.
empty, assoc-in, and update-in move to 20-coll.clj as the canonical recursive
ports; interpose and take-nth move to the lazy tier WITH their canonical
transducer arities (volatile-based), so the seed's td-interpose/td-take-nth
helpers go too. (empty lazy-seq) is () now — the kernel fn returned a bare
host table for it.
keys/vals/empty? stay put for now: they're expander-coupled — 00-syntax's
when/and/or/cond/destructure expanders call them at expansion time, which
happens during the kernel-tier compile, before any later tier exists. They
move when early defns get the staged-recompile treatment macros already have.
26 new spec rows (incl. transducer arities through sequence/into and laziness
checks against (range)). Gate green: conformance 326x3, suite >= baseline,
full jpm test.
key/val/select-keys/zipmap/merge/merge-with/get-in/memoize/partial/
trampoline/some?/true?/false?/max/min/reverse move to 20-coll.clj as the
canonical Clojure definitions, plus find — which was previously missing from
jolt entirely (select-keys/merge-with/memoize build on it). Two behavior
fixes ride along: memoize now caches nil results (the kernel fn re-computed
them — canonical find-based impl), and conj of nil onto a map is a no-op as
in Clojure (it errored; the canonical merge relies on it). max/min keep the
JVM NaN behavior by construction (pairwise >/<). not= stays: the kernel tier
(subvec) uses it.
One new tier-ordering rule, learned the hard way: a tier may only use macros
from tiers that load BEFORE it — memoize's if-let (30-macros) broke compiled
init while interpret mode passed, because compile expands macros at tier
load and the interpreter expands lazily. Now documented in the migration
workflow note.
MIGRATION.md is gone — task tracking lives in beads (jolt-ded; the per-batch
workflow, tier-order rules, perf wall, and remaining candidates are in bd
memory core-migration-workflow). The doc's candidate lists had gone stale
against the actual seed anyway.
43 new spec rows. Gate green: conformance 326x3, suite >= baseline, full
jpm test, bench at parity with main back-to-back (4851 vs 4831 TOTAL).
Nine more seed leaves move to 20-coll.clj (verified leaf-by-leaf: defn +
core-bindings entry only, no internal callers). fnil is upgraded to Clojure's
canonical 2/3/4-arity — it patches only the first 1-3 arguments; the old
kernel fn patched every position it had a default for, which Clojure does
not. The rest carry their kernel semantics over unchanged (bigdec is a
double, numerator/denominator throw, supers is #{}, munge rewrites dashes).
16 new spec rows incl. the fnil arity-contract cases. Gate green:
conformance 326x3, suite 4577, full jpm test (2:18 — first full run with the
ctx image cache on main).
*in*, read-line, read, with-in-str, and line-seq land as a new overlay IO
tier (core/50-io.clj). *in* is a dynamic var holding a reader — a plain map
of two closures, :read-line-fn (next line, nil at EOF) and :read-fn (next
form, advancing past exactly that form). The default *in* reads real stdin
with a shared leftover buffer, so read and read-line interleave correctly;
with-in-str rebinds *in* to a string reader over one atom-held buffer —
(read) consumes its form, a following (read-line) returns the rest of that
line, as in Clojure. read has the 0/1/3 arities (EOF throws, or returns
eof-value when eof-error? is false).
The Janet seed grows two seams next to read-string: __stdin-read-line (one
line off stdin, newline stripped) and __parse-next (one form off a string ->
[form rest], nil at end of input) — and loses the line-seq stub.
Two traps hit and documented for future tiers: a map LITERAL with :jolt/type
as a key is read as a tagged form (don't tag overlay value maps), and a
leftover seed stub holding the same name breaks direct-linked self-recursion
— the overlay line-seq's recursive call bound to the stub's root, truncating
after one line. The stub's string-splitting behavior is kept as a documented
extension.
20 new io-spec rows (read-line EOF/interleave, read arities + eval round-trip,
line-seq incl. real-stdin paths). Gate green: conformance 326x3, suite 4577,
full jpm test.
sorted-map/sorted-map-by/sorted-set/sorted-set-by/sorted?/sorted-map?/
sorted-set?/subseq/rsubseq now live in their own overlay tier (25-sorted.clj).
A sorted coll is a tagged host table with a comparator-ordered :entries
vector, a 3-way :cmp, and the tier's op implementations ATTACHED to the value
(:ops map): the seed's conj/assoc/get/seq/count/... branches are each a
one-line call through (coll :ops), so the ops travel with the value — correct
across contexts, forks, and AOT images, no module-level hooks to re-wire.
The host surface grows by three minimal value primitives: jolt.host/
tagged-table, ref-put! (already there), and ref-get — a raw field read,
because plain get on a sorted coll IS the comparator lookup and reading
:entries with it recurses.
This fixes a pile of Clojure-correctness gaps the Janet kernel had:
- lookup/membership now go through the COMPARATOR: (contains? (sorted-set 1)
1.0) was a deep= scan, (conj (sorted-set 1) 1.0) and assoc of a
comparator-equal key now no-op/replace as in Clojure
- equality is representation-agnostic: (= (sorted-map :a 1) {:a 1}) and
(= (sorted-set 1 2) #{1 2}) were false
- iteration was broken: (map inc (sorted-set 3 1 2)) errored
(realize-for-iteration and coll->cells had no sorted branches)
- empty?/empty saw the host wrapper, not the collection: (empty? (sorted-map))
was false, (empty sc) returned a bare table; it now keeps the comparator
- sorted colls canonicalize as map keys; comparator fns may be boolean
predicates or 3-way (Clojure's fn->comparator)
- sorted-map throws on odd kv count; conj nil is a no-op
Also fixes jolt-h86 en passant: into-conj had no branch for sets (or sorted
colls) and silently returned the target unchanged — (into #{} [:a :b]) was
#{}. The fallback now folds conj. Regression rows in sets-spec.
sorted-spec grows to 77 rows (comparator-based membership, equality,
empty/rseq/printing, seq-fn interop, subseq/rsubseq on maps). Gate green:
conformance 326x3, suite 4577 (vs 4566 prior — the battery gained rows),
sorted+sets specs, full jpm test, bench at parity with main back-to-back
(4521ms vs 4619ms TOTAL under identical load).
make-hierarchy/derive/underive/isa?/parents/ancestors/descendants are now
Clojure in the overlay — Clojure's own pure-map implementation: a hierarchy
is {:parents {tag #{..}} :ancestors {..} :descendants {..}}, the 3-arity
forms are PURE (derive returns a new hierarchy), and the 1/2-arity forms swap
a private global-hierarchy atom.
This fixes three correctness gaps the Janet kernel had: multi-parent derive
(the kernel's :parents held a single parent per tag), TRANSITIVE descendants
(the kernel tracked direct children only), and vector-pair isa?
((isa? [child1 child2] [parent1 parent2])). Cyclic and duplicate derives now
behave like Clojure (throw / no-op).
Multimethod dispatch was the kernel's only internal caller: defmulti-setup's
dispatch closure now calls the overlay's isa? through a lazily-resolved var
(cached per multimethod); a :hierarchy option is an atom (deref per dispatch,
matching Clojure's var semantics) or a plain hierarchy map. The Janet kernel
(types.janet) and the core-* wrappers are deleted.
20 new hierarchy spec rows (pure 3-arity incl. cycle/duplicate edges, global
+ dispatch incl. custom :hierarchy atoms). Gate green: conformance 326x3,
suite 4566 >= 4540, all batteries, bench in the session band.
*ns* is interned in clojure.core holding the current NAMESPACE OBJECT, kept
in sync by ctx-set-current-ns through a var table cached on the env (one
table put on the hot path; core-bench A/B neutral). A thread binding
(binding [*ns* ...]) shadows the root through var-get as usual. in-ns now
returns the namespace object (Clojure); str renders a namespace as its name
and pr-str as #namespace[name]. The ns-designator helper accepts namespace
objects (they are tagged STRUCTS — the old table?-based check never matched
them), so (ns-aliases *ns*) / (ns-unalias *ns* 'a) work — SCI and the jank
syntax-quote corpus use exactly that shape.
Known divergence (documented): inside an interpreted fn, *ns* reflects the
fn's defining ns (jolt's resolution model rebinds current-ns per call);
top-level and load-time reads match Clojure.
Gate green (conformance 326x3, suite 4572 >= 4540, all batteries,
specs+unit +8 *ns* rows); bench neutral.
The names turn 2a's leak removal exposed as honestly missing, now proper:
- slurp/spit/flush (host-classified): path-based IO over Janet files; spit
takes :append; flush flushes *out*. printf prints formatted (no newline)
over the existing format. file-seq walks paths via two host dir primitives
through the overlay's tree-seq.
- ns-map / ns-unmap / ns-refers (ctx fns). ns-refers required fixing the
refer MODEL: refer/use/:refer now map the SOURCE VAR into the target ns
(the Clojure model) instead of copying its value into a new var — so
source-ns redefinitions propagate, the :macro flag travels for free, and
refers are identifiable by the var's home :ns.
- Thread-binding family: with-bindings*/with-bindings, bound-fn*/bound-fn,
bound?, thread-bound?, get-thread-bindings. The captured binding map is a
Janet struct keyed by the var tables — the exact frame representation
var-get reads — so it re-pushes correctly (a phm frame is invisible to
var lookup).
- load-string and eval interned as VALUES at the api layer (they need the
loader's compile-or-interpret routing); the eval special form still
handles direct calls.
Suite 4532 -> 4572 (baseline floor 4540 across timeout variance, clean 86),
conformance 326x3, stdlib battery, all specs+unit (+21 turn-2b rows).
Coverage: missing-portable 27 -> 10 (left: the *in*-model readers, the
with-local-vars/with-precision/extenders tail).
resolve-sym's last resort silently resolved any unknown Clojure symbol
against Janet's root environment — leaking Janet builtins with JANET
semantics into Clojure code: (type 1) was Janet's :number, (gensym) returned
Janet symbols (the long-documented (symbol (str (gensym))) macro landmine
existed BECAUSE of this), compare/slurp/int?/any? likewise. The explicit
janet/ prefix is the deliberate interop channel; the implicit fallback is
gone — an unresolved symbol is an error.
What the leak was masking, now proper interned vars:
- gensym: jolt's own (already existed, never interned) — returns real jolt
symbols; the macro landmine is dead
- compare: full Clojure total order (nil-first, numbers, strings, keywords,
symbols by ns/name, booleans, chars, uuid/inst, vectors by length then
elementwise; cross-type throws)
- type: :type metadata override, deftype/record tag as symbol, else a
taxonomy keyword (host-classified)
- int?: core-integer? — which had a latent bug the leak hid: (integer?
##Inf) was true (floor of inf is inf); NaN/infinities now excluded
- any?: constantly true (Clojure 1.9; SCI's namespaces.cljc needs it)
- jolt.interop/janet-type now uses the explicit (janet/type x) channel
- evaluator-test uses init (a bare make-ctx resolved EVERYTHING via the leak)
Suite 4470 -> 4532+ pass / 86-87 clean (proper compare unlocks the sort
files); baselines raised. Conformance 326x3 (+5 rows), +22 predicate spec
rows, stdlib battery green, all specs+unit. Coverage dashboard now counts
previously-leak-resolvable names honestly (missing-portable 19 -> 27).
#inst (jolt-rnh): an instant is an immutable tagged struct
{:jolt/type :jolt/inst :ms <epoch-millis>} — equality and map-key hashing by
INSTANT, so different offsets denoting the same moment are =. The reader
parses RFC3339 with Clojure's partial-timestamp defaults (#inst "2020" is
2020-01-01T00:00:00.000Z) and errors on malformed input; inst?/inst-ms in
the overlay; pr-str prints the canonical
#inst "yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm:ss.fff-00:00" and round-trips; str gives the bare
RFC3339 string. Self-evaluating in the evaluator (like uuid/chars).
Syntax-quote (jolt-l2a): a syntax-quoted self-evaluating literal (string,
number, boolean, nil, keyword, char) collapses to the literal at READ time,
matching Clojure's reader — so nested/adjacent backticks over literals are
inert: (= "meow" ```"meow") is true (jank pass-adjacent). Symbols still
qualify and collections still template. General nested syntax-quote over
non-literals remains UNVERIFIED in spec S25.
Tests: inst-spec (18 cases incl. partial defaults, offsets, round-trip),
+10 literal-collapse reader rows, +5 conformance rows (321x3). Spec
02-reader S20/S25 updated to normative. Suite stable 4470/86.
jolt no longer satisfies :clj in reader conditionals. The shortcut was a
measured net liability: :clj branches carry JVM interop and JVM-specific
test expectations jolt fails, and they shadowed :default branches jolt
passes. A/B over the suite: clj,default = 4967 assertions / 4324 pass / 119
errors; jolt,default = 5069 / 4470 / 81 (+146 pass, -38 errors, +8 clean
files). Baselines raised to 4470/86.
Matching is now by CLAUSE order like Clojure — the first clause whose key is
in the feature set wins (#?(:default 5 :clj 6) is 5 everywhere); the old code
scanned for :clj first, then :default, regardless of position.
Foreign clj-targeted libraries are a property of the LOADING CONTEXT, not the
platform: reader-features-set! opts a load into a compatibility set, and the
SCI bootstrap/runtime tests load SCI under ["jolt" "clj" "default"] (its
.cljc selects implementations via :clj with no :jolt branches).
JOLT_FEATURES remains the process-wide override.
RFC 0002 records the decision with the measured data; spec 02-reader S18 is
now normative (clause order, documented feature set, per-context override).
Reader tests updated to the portable set + an opt-in round-trip.
The lexical-syntax chapter, granularity modeled on jank's 62-file
per-construct reader corpus: token grammar (whitespace/comments, collections
with read-time duplicate checks, numbers incl. the N/M tower question,
symbols/keywords incl. ::auto-resolution, strings/chars), the quote-family
sugars, the full #-dispatch catalog with normative entries (anonymous fn
%-derivation, discard composition, reader conditionals, symbolic floats,
tagged literals), and the syntax-quote contract (core/alias/current-ns
qualification, template-stable gensyms, ~' idiom, distribution through
collections).
Adapting the corpus surfaced and filed three findings, recorded as labeled
divergences/UNVERIFIED in the chapter: nested syntax-quote doesn't collapse
(S25, (= "meow" ```"meow") is false), #inst reads as a bare string (identity
data reader, no instant type), and jolt satisfies :clj in reader
conditionals (feature-key policy under review).
reader-forms-spec gains 11 chapter-cited rows (discard stacking, ##Inf/
##-Inf/##NaN, :default conditionals, qualified var-quote identity, gensym
stability within vs across templates) — all passing.
Fifteen vars from the spec coverage gap (docs/spec/coverage.md):
parse-long/parse-double/parse-boolean (strict validation; scan-number alone
accepts 0x10), newline, current-time-ms (host clock for time), update-keys/
update-vals (PHM base, collisions last-wins), partitionv/partitionv-all/
splitv-at (lazy seqs of vectors; splitv-at's tail stays a seq, matching the
reference), with-redefs/with-redefs-fn (roots restored on throw), time,
macroexpand (expand-1 to fixpoint), alias/ns-unalias (write BOTH alias stores
— require :as uses string-keyed :imports while ns-aliases reads :aliases;
split filed), ns-publics (symbol-keyed map; publics == interns, no privacy).
Three pre-existing bugs fixed along the way:
- (partition n step pad coll) misparsed pad as the coll and returned ()
- (require 'bare.symbol) rejected — only vector specs were accepted
- analyze-form leaked the interpreted analyzer's ns on a punt: a throw out of
the analyzer left current-ns=jolt.analyzer and :compile-ns set, so the
fallback interpretation resolved user vars against the wrong namespace
(bit (var user-sym) under compile mode)
And one overlay-authoring landmine documented in-code: a 20-coll fn must not
use 30-macros macros (with-redefs-fn's dotimes compiled as a forward ref that
resolved to the macro fn at runtime) — loop/recur instead.
Gate: conformance 316x3 (+14 rows), suite 4324 pass / 78 clean (was 4081/72;
parse_*/update_* files now contribute), baselines raised, all specs+unit,
fixpoint, self-host, sci, staged. Coverage: missing-portable 35 -> 20.
map? treated ANY struct as a map, so (map? 'sym), (map? \a), and
(map? (random-uuid)) were all true; coll? had the same wart. Meanwhile both
were FALSE for sorted maps (and coll? for sorted sets and records), which are
collections in Clojure. Now: a map is a plain struct literal, a phm, a sorted
map, or a record; coll? additionally includes sorted sets. Tagged structs
(anything with :jolt/type) are values.
The loose-map? dependents (destructure's clause ordering, defn's attr-map
guard) already guarded with symbol? first, so nothing relied on the wart —
full gate green, and the suite gained: 4074 -> 4081 pass / 72 clean files
(map_qmark/coll_qmark assertions now correct); baselines raised. 22 new
strictness spec cases.
uuid support was broken end to end (jolt-6s2): random-uuid built malformed
strings ((string/format "%x") with no zero-padding, so hex groups came out
short, and no variant bits), uuid? was hardcoded false, the #uuid data reader
was identity (bare string), and parse-uuid didn't exist. Nothing tested it.
A UUID is now an immutable tagged struct {:jolt/type :jolt/uuid :str <lower>}
(make-uuid, types.janet) — struct value equality gives case-insensitive = and
map-key/set hashing for free, and the evaluator treats it as self-evaluating
(like chars). random-uuid emits a correct RFC 4122 v4 (zero-padded 8-4-4-4-12,
version nibble 4, variant 8-b). parse-uuid validates the canonical shape,
returns nil on a bad string, throws on a non-string (Clojure 1.11). uuid? is
an overlay tag predicate. str renders the bare string; pr-str renders
#uuid "..." and round-trips.
Tests: uuid-spec (30 cases: format, parse edge cases from the suite, value
semantics, reader literal), 6 conformance cases x3 modes. The suite's
parse_uuid/random_uuid/uuid_qmark files now contribute: 4049 -> 4074 pass,
71 clean files; baselines raised.
* core: fix jolt-265 — syntax-quote fully-qualifies core syms to clojure.core/
Re-attempt of the deferred gap, now unblocked. The earlier uberscript break
wasn't qualification itself but an aliased-ref resolution bug it exposed:
resolve-var looked up ns-aliases (e.g. g/foo) against the analyzer's REBOUND
ctx-current-ns (jolt.analyzer, since the analyzer runs interpreted in its own
ns) instead of the namespace being compiled. A user's aliased refs failed
mid-compile (g/hello -> nil in the bundled standalone).
- resolve-var resolves aliases against :compile-ns when set (same ns
h-current-ns uses), falling back to ctx-current-ns — correct for both modes.
- sq-symbol qualifies a resolved clojure.core name to clojure.core/<name>
(Clojure hygiene); special forms stay bare; unresolved syms -> current ns.
Tests updated to the qualified behavior (features-test, reader-forms-spec).
* test: comprehensive spec — regex + sorted colls + random/predicate gaps
Filling the biggest untested clojure.core areas found in a coverage audit
(168 of 506 provided fns had no spec). New + expanded suites:
- regex-spec.janet (20): #"…" literals, regex?, re-find/re-matches/re-seq
(match/no-match/groups), re-pattern, and clojure.string split/replace with
regex (incl $1 backrefs). Whole area was previously unspecced.
- sorted-spec.janet (14): sorted-map/sorted-set construction + ordering, sorted?,
subseq/rsubseq. Pins the working subset — get/conj/assoc/keys/vals on sorted
colls and the by-comparator ctors are not yet first-class (jolt-ti9).
- predicates-spec +14: seqable?, integer?, reduced?/unreduced, not-empty.
- numbers-spec +5: rand/rand-int/rand-nth invariants.
Fix: sorted? was bound to core-sorted-map? so it returned false for sorted-sets;
now true for both sorted maps and sets (core-sorted?).
Filed: jolt-ti9 (sorted collections incomplete: get/conj/assoc/keys/vals don't
operate on the sorted wrapper; sorted-*-by ignore the comparator).
Gate green incl full jpm build + jpm test.
* core: close surfaced gaps — first-class sorted colls, with-out-str, rand arity, deref reduced
jolt-ti9: sorted-map/sorted-set are now first-class across the collection fns —
get/assoc/dissoc/conj/contains?/keys/vals/disj and call-as-fn all operate on the
wrapper and preserve sort order. The by-comparator constructors (sorted-map-by/
sorted-set-by) now thread the user comparator (numeric or boolean-predicate) through
all derived colls. Sorted predicates/ctors/ops moved above core-conj so the
collection fns can branch on them; jolt-invoke (interpreter) gets inline branches.
jolt-rfw: add with-out-str (binds output to a string buffer) + the macro.
jolt-ek3: (rand n) arity and deref-of-reduced (uuid? still deferred).
Specs: new io-spec.janet; sorted-spec expanded to pin the now-working map/set ops
and by-comparator ordering; predicate/number spec restorations.
* remove old doc
* core: fix stale comment — by-comparator sorted ctors are implemented

Re-attempt of the deferred gap, now unblocked. The earlier uberscript break
wasn't qualification itself but an aliased-ref resolution bug it exposed:
resolve-var looked up ns-aliases (e.g. g/foo) against the analyzer's REBOUND
ctx-current-ns (jolt.analyzer, since the analyzer runs interpreted in its own
ns) instead of the namespace being compiled. A user's aliased refs failed
mid-compile (g/hello -> nil in the bundled standalone).
- resolve-var resolves aliases against :compile-ns when set (same ns
h-current-ns uses), falling back to ctx-current-ns — correct for both modes.
- sq-symbol qualifies a resolved clojure.core name to clojure.core/<name>
(Clojure hygiene); special forms stay bare; unresolved syms -> current ns.
Tests updated to the qualified behavior (features-test, reader-forms-spec).

* test: adapt jank's form/reader tests into spec suites; fix case no-match
Vendoring jank's behavior (not the project): we base our own copies on the
jank test corpus to close coverage gaps, but maintain them ourselves since
jank may diverge. Two new spec batteries (jank-isms translated to Jolt:
letfn* -> letfn, jank catch types -> :default; platform-specific bigdec/
biginteger/ratio/uuid/##Inf/unicode cases omitted):
- test/spec/forms-spec.janet (52): case, fn (arity/variadic/closure/recur/
named), let, letfn, loop, try, if/do/def/call — incl :throws regression
cases (no-match, bad params, nil call).
- test/spec/reader-forms-spec.janet (22): #() (% %N %&), #' var-quote,
^metadata, syntax-quote (gensym/unquote/splice).
Fix surfaced by adaptation: case with no matching clause and no default now
throws 'No matching clause' (Clojure semantics) instead of returning nil
(00-syntax). Gate green incl full jpm build+test.
Other gaps the adaptation surfaced are filed (tests adjusted to jolt's
current behavior + a comment, not silently dropped):
jolt-vdo case duplicate test constants not rejected
jolt-w2v loop bindings not sequential (later init can't see earlier)
jolt-6x1 #() %& miscomputes arity with a higher positional (%2 …)
jolt-xl0 ^meta not attached to collection literals ({}/[]/#{})
jolt-265 syntax-quote doesn't fully-qualify core syms to clojure.core/
jolt-edb syntax-quote ~/~@ not processed inside set literals
* core: fix 5 Clojure-conformance gaps surfaced by jank tests
All from adapting jank's form/reader tests; each fix verified in interpret +
compile modes and the spec tests now assert the correct behavior.
- jolt-vdo: case now rejects duplicate test constants at expansion (Clojure
compile error), via bootstrap-safe duplicate detection (00-syntax; analyzer.clj
uses case during its own build, so seed-only fns).
- jolt-w2v: loop bindings are now sequential like let — a later init can
reference an earlier binding. Fixed the interpreter loop* (accumulating scope)
and the back end emit-loop (bind initial inits in a sequential Janet let before
entering the recur target).
- jolt-6x1: #() reader computes the fixed arity from the MAX positional (%2 ->
[p1 p2 & rest]); % and %1 unify; unused lower slots get placeholder params.
- jolt-xl0: ^meta on collection literals ({}/[]/#{}) now attaches — read-meta
passes the NORMALIZED metadata map to with-meta (was the raw meta-form).
- jolt-edb: syntax-quote processes ~/~@ inside set literals (new __sqset builder
in core + set branches in syntax-quote* and syntax-quote-lower).
Deferred: jolt-265 (fully-qualify core syms to clojure.core/ in syntax-quote) —
it passes conformance but breaks the standalone uberscript (the ns macro emits
unqualified require/in-ns, which then qualify and break bundled require/alias).
Reverted to bare (functionally resolves); re-opened with the finding.
Gate green incl full jpm build + jpm test: conformance 269x3, suite >=4034/67,

* core: Stage 2 Task 2 tier 4b — compile ns (+ use/import/refer-clojure)
ns becomes a macro (00-syntax) expanding to (do (in-ns 'name) (require …)
(use …) (import …) (refer-clojure …)) — matching Clojure, where require is
a fn and ns expands to require calls. use/import/refer-clojure join the
namespace ops as ctx-capturing clojure.core fns (use-impl/import-impl/
refer-clojure-impl, interned by install-stateful-fns!). Removed the ns
interpreter special arm; dropped ns/use/import from host_iface special-names
and loader stateful-head?.
Placement matters: ns lives in the FIRST overlay tier (00-syntax), because
the self-hosted analyzer build is triggered while 10-seq loads and processes
jolt.analyzer's own (ns …) form — ns must exist by then. Its body resolves
fn/map/reduce/cond at expansion time, by which point all of 00-syntax has
loaded. The bootstrap compiler (compiler.janet) still PUNTS ns/in-ns/require/
use/import (it compiles analyzer.clj/ir.clj, whose ns forms must fall back to
the interpreter that expands the macro) — only the self-hosted analyzer
compiles them.
use-impl fixes a latent bug: it now refers the used ns's vars into the
CURRENT ns (the old special interned a ns into itself, a no-op).
ns/use/import now compile + interpret as plain invokes. fallback-zero: ns off
must-punt, onto must-compile.

* test/core: cover ns form + :use; fix use-impl spec parsing
Checking test coverage for the namespace tiers surfaced a real bug nothing
exercised: use-impl checked (array? s) to find a spec's ns symbol, but a
vector spec like [src.x] is a pvec/tuple, not a Janet array — so (:use ...)
and standalone (use ...) errored. Fixed to coerce (pvec->array) then take the
head when the spec is indexed (matching require-impl).
Added coverage that was missing:
- conformance (x3 modes): the (ns …) form itself + :use refers.
- namespaces-spec: (ns …) form, :use, standalone use.
The :use/(use …) path had ZERO tests before, which is why the bug slipped
through earlier tiers.
EBNF needs no change — it's a reader/syntax grammar with no special-forms
enumeration; ns/require/protocol syntax is unchanged (the destructuring note
was already updated in jolt-f79).

* core: compile macro expanders via staged bootstrap (Stage 2 Task 1)
Macros are now compiled, not interpreted, by steady state — matching
Clojure (macros are ordinary compiled fns the Java seed compiles for
clojure.core) and ClojureScript (macros compiled, invoked at compile
time). Neither reference keeps an interpreted-closure fallback.
The early macros (00-syntax) are defined while the self-hosted analyzer
is still being bootstrapped (it builds lazily after the overlay loads),
so macro-compile-hook returns nil and they get an interpreted closure.
The bootstrap compiler.janet can't substitute (it punts on syntax-quote,
which nearly every expander uses).
Fix = staged bootstrap, the same pattern as the compiler fixpoint:
defmacro stashes the expander source on the var (:macro-src) plus a
:macro-uses-env flag; once the overlay + analyzer are fully built,
backend/recompile-macros! (via ensure-macros-compiled! at the end of
load-core-overlay!) compiles each stashed expander through the now-live
analyzer and rebinds the var, marking :macro-compiled. Idempotent;
&env/&form macros keep the interpreted closure (the compiled fn* has no
such params). The interpreter is now a build-time crutch, gone by
steady state.
Rewrote if-not/if-let/if-some/assert from '& [else]' rest-destructuring
(which the analyzer punts on) to a plain rest param + (first rest), so
all 47 overlay macros compile. Analyzer rest-destructuring gap: jolt-f79.
47/47 overlay macros compiled, 0 interpreted; user macros compile
immediately post-init. Gate green: conformance 267x3, fallback-zero
31/5, bootstrap-fixpoint stage1==2==3, self-host, staged-bootstrap,
lazy-infinite 44/44, clojure-test-suite >=4034/67, sci-bootstrap,
features 78/78, all unit+spec, core-bench neutral.
* core: wrap macro expanders in fn (not fn*) so destructured arglists compile
Follow-up to the staged macro-compile change. The macro-recompile pass
wrapped each expander in the raw fn* primitive, which punts on a
destructuring rest param — so if-not/if-let/if-some/assert (using the
canonical '& [else]') couldn't compile and had been rewritten to plain
rest params as a workaround.
Root cause: fn* is the primitive; the fn MACRO is what desugars
destructuring (rest, map, nested) into the body before lowering. Wrapping
expanders in fn instead of fn* compiles any destructured macro arglist
uniformly, so the workaround is unnecessary — reverted those 4 macros to
the canonical '& [else]' forms.
Net: rest-destructuring is fully compiled for all normal code (fn/defn/
let/macro params). Only the hand-written raw fn* primitive still punts
(jolt-f79, downgraded to P4 — falls back to interpreter, still correct).
47/47 overlay macros compiled. Gate green: conformance 267x3,
fallback-zero 31/5, bootstrap-fixpoint stage1==2==3, self-host,
staged-bootstrap, lazy-infinite 44/44, clojure-test-suite >=4034/67,
sci-bootstrap, features, all unit+spec.
* core: fn*/let*/loop* are plain-symbol primitives, matching Clojure (jolt-f79)
jolt-f79 asked to compile destructuring in fn* rest params. Checking
against Clojure inverts the premise: Clojure's fn* REJECTS destructuring
at compile time ('fn params must be Symbols'; let*/loop* 'Bad binding
form, expected symbol'). So the self-hosted analyzer was already correct
— fn*/let*/loop* are plain-symbol primitives; the fn/let/loop/defn
MACROS desugar destructuring. The real defect was the interpreter
leniently destructuring raw fn*, and defn emitting raw fn* to rely on it.
Changes:
- evaluator: fn*/let*/loop* now reject non-symbol binding forms with
Clojure's exact messages (require-symbol-params/plain-sym?), so the
interpreter agrees with the analyzer + Clojure.
- 00-syntax: defn emits the fn MACRO (not raw fn*) so destructuring
params desugar; unnamed, so self-recursion still resolves via the var.
- 00-syntax: completing that exposed a real gap — the overlay destructure
fn didn't handle kwargs (a map pattern bound against a fn's sequential
rest); it had only worked via the interpreter's destructure-bind. Added
the seq->map coercion to the map? branch (sequential: 1 map elt => that
map, else apply hash-map), matching destructure-bind so interpret ==
compile.
Net: fn*/let*/loop* are plain-symbol primitives across interpreter,
analyzer, and Clojure; all real destructuring (fn/defn/let/loop/macro
params, incl kwargs & {:keys}) compiles through the macros with no
interpreter fallback. Regression spec added.

stage1==2==3, self-host, staged-bootstrap, lazy-infinite 44/44,
clojure-test-suite >=4034/67, sci-bootstrap, features 78/78, all
unit+spec (destructuring 50/50).
* docs: clarify fn*/let*/loop* take plain symbols only (jolt-f79)
grammar.ebnf: the destructuring note already attributed patterns to the
binding MACROS; make the boundary explicit — the fn*/let*/loop* PRIMITIVES
they desugar to take plain symbols only (a non-symbol binding errors, as
in Clojure).
self-hosting-compiler.md: the 'compile destructuring via a shared
destructure expander instead of falling back' item is done (and its
jolt-7dl ref was stale) — destructuring now compiles through the
fn/let/loop/defn macros' desugaring; the primitives reject patterns.
* core: Stage 2 Task 2 tier 1 — compile syntax-quote + definterface/extend/proxy
First slice of moving stateful forms onto the compile path (jolt-eaa).
- loader stateful-head?: drop syntax-quote (the analyzer's `handled` set
already compiles it; routing it to the interpreter was redundant).
- host_iface special-names: drop definterface/extend/proxy (stub macros
expanding to def/nil — their expansions compile once unpunted).
- letfn stays interpreted: its let* expansion needs letrec semantics
(mutual recursion between the fns), which sequential compiled let* lacks
— a later tier.

adds self-hosted compiler is functionally:
- The default compile path is the portable pipeline using jolt.analyzer (Clojure) → host-neutral IR → backend.janet.
- The analyzer is itself Clojure, compiled by jolt for true self-hosting.
- bootstrap-fixpoint passes (stage1 == stage2 == stage3): rebuilding the compiler on its own output.
- clojure.core is now self-hosted in the overlay.
- Stateful forms (defmacro/ns/deftype/defmulti/require/in-ns) are interpreted by design.
Destructuring (drove by trying to load Selmer):
- defmacro params now destructure like fn (parse-params + destructure-bind), so
[& [a & more :as all]] and {:keys ...} work in macro arglists.
- map-destructuring a sequential value treats it as keyword args (alternating
k/v, or a trailing map) — the [& {:keys [...]}] form, in fns and macros.
- :keys/:syms accept namespaced symbols (x/y): looks up the namespaced key,
binds the bare local.
deps.edn: read with Jolt's reader instead of Janet's parse, so EDN ';' line
comments are handled (Janet treats ';' as splice).
clojure.java.io: the shim was at clojure/java_io.clj (ns clojure.java-io, never
the clojure.java.io that code requires) and used bare-qualified Janet calls that
the janet.* bridge no longer resolves. Moved to clojure/java/io.clj and rewritten
on janet.file/os: file/reader/writer/resource/copy/delete-file/make-parents.
Specs in destructuring-spec; destructuring note in the ebnf.
The reader expanded ^X form to (with-meta form X), which evaluated the tag (so
^String errored 'Unable to resolve symbol: String') and, as a param, was no
longer a bare symbol (so the arg bound to nil). Now a keyword/symbol/string hint
on a symbol attaches to the symbol's :meta and the symbol stays bare, so type
hints are transparent in params, lets, and bodies. Map metadata still uses a
runtime with-meta form.
meta now returns a symbol's :meta, and def applies the name's metadata
(^:dynamic, ^:private, ^Type tag, ^{:doc}) to the var, so (meta (var x)) is
consistent. Specs in metadata-spec; grammar note in the ebnf.
README notes regex \p{...} as unsupported (separate from this).
read-char read the char name with symbol-char?, so a literal whose char isn't a
symbol char (\{, \(, \), \,, \%, …) came back as an empty name and errored
'Unsupported character'. Now a single non-symbol char after \ is taken as a
one-character literal of that char. Surfaced by funcool/cuerdas (uses \{), which
now loads. Spec cases added.
- core: pr-render/str-render now render a Jolt var as #'ns/name instead of
falling through to the generic table printer, which recursed into the var's
cyclic :meta/:ns refs and looped forever. Adds name-of/var-display helpers.
- jolt.nrepl: capture the post-eval namespace *after* running the form — jolt
evaluates map-literal values right-to-left, so {:val (eval form) :ns (the-ns)}
read the ns before in-ns ran, pinning every session to 'user'. Now in-ns/ns
switches persist across evals. render-value dropped: pr-str handles vars.
- specs: var printing (strings-spec) and nREPL in-ns/ns-persistence + explicit
:ns override (nrepl-test).
- host-interop-spec: add an 'interop / janet bridge' suite — janet/<name> and
janet.<module>/<name> resolution, the value-representation boundary (a Jolt
vector crosses as a Janet table), explicit-only (unprefixed module not
exposed), and unknown-symbol errors.
- nrepl-test: assert a def's value renders as #'ns/name (pr-str loops on a
var's cyclic ns refs, so jolt.nrepl renders vars itself).
Add a general Janet interop bridge and an nREPL implemented on top of it.
Interop bridge (evaluator):
- A qualified symbol whose namespace is `janet` or `janet.<module>` resolves
against Janet's environment: `janet/<name>` -> root binding (janet/slurp),
`janet.<module>/<name>` -> module binding (janet.net/server, janet.os/clock).
The explicit `janet` segment marks every crossing into host code (where
Clojure semantics, e.g. collection representation, no longer hold). This makes
the whole Janet stdlib — networking included — reachable from Clojure.
jolt.nrepl (Clojure, src/jolt/jolt/nrepl.clj):
- bencode codec (encode + streaming decode), ported from nrepl.bencode.
- server: accept loop via janet.net/accept + janet.ev/call (Janet's built-in
handler arity-checks Jolt closures, so we drive accept ourselves); ops clone/
describe/eval/load-file/close/ls-sessions/interrupt/eldoc following
babashka.nrepl response shapes. eval captures *out* by rebinding Janet's :out,
reports ns, streams out, and isolates the eval namespace (current-ns is global
ctx state) restoring it afterward. Vars are rendered as #'ns/name (pr-str
loops on a var's cyclic ns refs).
- client: connect / request / client-eval / client-clone / client-close.
CLI: `jolt nrepl [port]` starts the server and writes .nrepl-port; the Clojure
source is embedded at build time so the binary is self-contained from any cwd.
Tests: test/spec/nrepl-spec.janet (bencode), test/integration/nrepl-test.janet
(server+client over a real TCP/bencode wire, server in a subprocess).
Implement clojure.core futures backed by Janet's ev/thread for genuine
parallelism (CPU-bound work can use a second core, unlike cooperative go
blocks):
- future / future-call, deref + (deref f timeout-ms timeout-val), future?,
future-done?, future-cancel, future-cancelled?; realized? on futures.
- A worker OS thread computes and marshals back a [:ok v]/[:error e] result
over a thread-chan; a parent-side collector fiber caches it and closes a
broadcast latch so any number of deref-ers unpark.
- Snapshot semantics: separate heaps mean the body + captured state are copied
to the worker and only the result is copied back (mutating a captured atom
does not propagate). Documented in README.
- future-cancel can't interrupt a Janet OS thread, so it marks the future
cancelled/done (deref throws, predicates flip) while the worker runs out.
clojure-test-suite baseline 3915 -> 3913: implementing future unskips
realized_qmark.cljc's (when-var-exists future ...) block, which depends on
JVM Thread/sleep + real thread interruption jolt can't provide; deref then
re-raises the unresolved-Thread/sleep error. Documented at the baseline.
Spec: test/spec/futures-spec.janet (18 cases).
(chan n xform) applies a transducer on the put side: a jolt transducer is a
directly-callable closure, composed over a reducing fn whose step gives each
output value into the channel (honoring its buffer kind). One put may yield zero
or more values; a reduced result (e.g. from take) closes the channel; close!
runs the transducer completion arity to flush stateful remainders. Works with
map/filter/mapcat/take/comp/etc.
Buffers: (buffer n) fixed, (dropping-buffer n) drops new values when full,
(sliding-buffer n) drops the oldest. Implemented via a non-blocking give —
(ev/select [ch v] closed-chan) detects a full buffer without parking.
harness: run-spec flushes per suite. spec: core.async/channel-transducers (5),
core.async/buffers (3). jpm test green.
Note: distinct/dedupe/partition-all/partition-by still lack a 0-coll transducer
arity in core (separate gap), so they can't yet be used as channel xforms.
Jolt's dynamic-var binding stack was a single global array, so concurrent go
blocks interleaved each other's bindings and a go block didn't see the bindings
in effect when it was spawned.
Move the binding stack into Janet's fiber-local dyn (:jolt/binding-stack): each
fiber (go block) lazily gets its own array, so bindings can't interleave. Janet
ev/go fibers inherit the parent's dyn, but go-spawn now snapshots the binding
stack at spawn time and installs a private copy in the new fiber — Clojure
binding conveyance. A go block's own (binding ...) shadows the conveyed frame.
types.janet: cur-binding-stack / snapshot-bindings / install-bindings; var-get/
var-set/push/pop use the fiber-local stack. async.janet: go-spawn conveys.
spec: core.async/binding-conveyance (4 cases — conveyance, isolation, no leak to
root, inner shadowing). jpm test green.
Janet fibers are stackful coroutines, so a go block is just its body run in a
fiber that parks on channel ops by yielding to the event loop — the interpreter
call stack rides along, no CPS/state-machine transform. So <!/>! work anywhere
(inside try, nested fns, loops), unlike Clojure's go macro.
src/jolt/async.janet implements chan/chan?/close!/<!/>!/<!!/>!!/go/go-loop/
thread/alts!/timeout/put!/take! over ev/ channels and fibers, installed as the
clojure.core.async namespace (pre-populated in init, so require finds it).
A channel is a pair of ev/chans (:ch values + :done close-signal); a take is
(ev/select :ch :done), which drains buffered values before the close signal —
giving Clojure's drain-then-nil semantics without the buffer loss of
ev/chan-close, and with no leaked fibers (close! just closes :done).
Single-threaded cooperative scheduling: <! (park) and <!! (block) coincide.
Dynamic-var conveyance (Phase 2) and channel transducers (Phase 3) are TODO.
spec: test/spec/core-async-spec (16 cases — go/channels, buffering+close,
go-loop pipelines, alts!/timeout, parking inside try/nested-fn). jpm test green.
- grammar.ebnf: rewrite the number rule to cover the literal syntaxes the reader

vector literals are pvecs, lists are arrays). key/val/map-entry? now accept a

distinction — no metadata needed, the representations already differ.
- min-key/max-key reproduce Clojure's NaN-aware folding (2-arg strict </>, then
<=/>=) and require numeric keys (NaN allowed, strings throw).
- subvec coerces float/NaN indices like (int ...) (truncate, NaN->0) then
bounds-checks, instead of throwing on non-integers.
min_key 35/14 -> 49/0 (clean); key/val recover the 2-vector cases; subvec floats

subs 11-fail -> 24/5 (5 remaining are byte-vs-codepoint Unicode, platform);
assoc_bang 32/6 -> 35/3. clojure-test-suite pass 3889->3898.

merge now throws when a non-first arg is a scalar, a set, a list, or a
wrong-length vector (a length-2 vector or a map still merge). Other map-like
tables (records/sorted-maps/host tables, e.g. SCI's namespaces) keep the lenient
conj path so the SCI bootstrap still loads.
merge 29/11/2 -> 35/3/4. clojure-test-suite pass 3874->3880.
spec: 5 merge strictness cases. jpm test green.
- first throws on scalars (numbers/keywords/booleans/char & symbol structs)

first clean; rseq 12/1; assoc 39/3. clojure-test-suite pass 3864->3874.
spec: seq/more-strictness (11). jpm test green.
- assoc on a vector bounds-checks the index (0..count); out-of-range/negative throw
- dissoc throws on non-maps (numbers/sequences/sets/scalars); nil ok; records/
sorted-maps/meta-maps still handled
- count throws on scalars (numbers/keywords/symbols/booleans/chars)
- subvec validates vector type and 0<=start<=end<=count
- numerator/denominator always throw (Jolt has no ratio type)
- min-key/max-key throw on no values
count 18/2; dissoc 19/3; assoc 36/6; subvec 26/3/5; numerator/denominator throw

- peek/pop are stack-only (vectors/lists): throw on sets/maps/strings/scalars,
and pop throws on an empty vector/list
- vec throws on non-seqable args (numbers/keywords/transients)
- key/val require a map entry (2-element vector); throw on nil/numbers/maps/sets
pop clean; peek 9/2; vec 17/2/1; key/val 12/2/1 (remaining are the
2-vector-vs-MapEntry / tuple-from-seq divergences). pass 3824->3840.
spec: seq/accessor-strictness (16). jpm test green.
conj!/assoc!/dissoc!/disj!/pop!/persistent! now throw on a non-transient (or
wrong transient kind) instead of falling back to the persistent op, matching
Clojure. conj! keeps its special arities: (conj!) -> (transient []), (conj! coll)
-> coll. conj! onto a transient map accepts a [k v] pair or a map (merge), and
throws on a list/set/seq.
pop_bang/dissoc_bang clean; conj_bang 13/1/22->47/3/1; persistent_bang 9/8->16/1.
clojure-test-suite pass 3781->3824. spec: transient/strictness (10). jpm test green.
- zero?/pos?/neg? throw on non-numbers; odd?/even? throw on non-integers
(nil, infinities, NaN, fractional) via need-num/need-int helpers
- comparisons < > <= >= throw on non-number args (1-arity stays true, no check)
- max/min throw on non-number args
- quot/rem/mod throw on zero divisor and non-finite operands
odd?/even?/lt/gt/lt_eq/gt_eq suite files now clean; pass 3691->3738.
Updated systematic-coverage-test (zero? nil now throws). spec:
numbers/strictness (15). jpm test green.
Numbers printed via Janet's (string v) rendered infinities/NaN as inf/-inf/nan.
Add fmt-number so str/pr-str (and collection rendering) emit Infinity/-Infinity/
NaN. str.cljc 3->32 pass. Remaining str fails are the integer-valued-double
divergence ((str 0.0) is "0" not "0.0" since 0.0 == 0 in Janet).
spec: numbers/printing-of-inf-&-nan (5). jpm test green.
