(recur (inc acc) (rest xs)) re-entered the fn through its varargs collector,
so the rest seq came back wrapped in a fresh 1-element rest list — xs never
emptied and the interpreter hung (jolt-4df; the compile path was already
correct). recur now re-enters through a dedicated entry that binds the LAST
arg directly as the rest param (n-fixed + 1 args, Clojure's contract), in
both the single-arity and multi-arity fn* paths; the shared body runner keeps
the ns-swap/restore in one place, and fixed arities still re-dispatch through
the arity dispatcher exactly as before.
Six spec rows: the original repro, zero-fixed variadic, rest-empties-to-nil,
multi-arity variadic recur, nil rest, and a fixed-arity control.
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).
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).
Add spec suites for conditionals/logic/let/loop/iteration/threading, functions
(definition, application, combinators), and destructuring across let/fn/loop/
doseq/for. Bug caught and fixed: loop* assumed simple-symbol bindings, so
(loop [[a b] [1 2]] ...) errored; it now destructures each binding via
destructure-bind, supporting patterns in loop bindings (and recur). jpm test green.
