0c: persistent HAMT on Chez is ~41x faster than Janet's HAMT on the collections
map-churn (258.6 -> 6.3 ms), ~15x off mutable-native (inherent persistence cost).
Decision: self-host the persistent collections in Clojure; substrate is not the
bottleneck. See docs/chez-phase0-results.md.
0a hardening: NUL-separated keyword intern key (no ns/name collision), non-finite
-safe jolt-hash. 37/37.
0a (host/chez/values.ss): Jolt value model on Chez — nil sentinel distinct from
#f/'(), interned keywords, ns+meta symbols, exactness-aware = and consistent
hash. Chez numeric tower gives ratios/bignums free. 33/33 tests.
0b (test/chez/): extract test/spec/*.janet defspec tables into corpus.edn (2655
cases, valid as both EDN and Janet data), and a runner that drives ANY jolt
binary via the CLI boundary with per-case subprocess isolation. Pluggable target
(JOLT_BIN) so the same corpus gates every host. Baseline vs Janet build/jolt:
2641/2655, 14 known CLI divergences allowlisted; gate fails only on NEW ones.
