The corpus certifier (test/conformance) flagged four cases where jolt's
hand-written :expected matched a real defect rather than Clojure. Fixed in the
jolt-core overlay, corrected the spec :expected, re-certified against JVM Clojure:
- ex-message: returns nil for a non-throwable (dropped the lenient string branch);
still returns the message for ex-info. (jolt-l8e8)
- munge: preserves the argument's type — a symbol munges to a symbol, not a string.
(jolt-hc35)
- print: (print nil) emits "nil", not "" (top-level nil guard; str yields "").
(jolt-pqio)
- bounded-count: uses the counted? fast path (full count), else counts up to n via
seq — was (min n (count coll)), wrong for counted colls. Added an uncounted-coll
spec case. (jolt-2507)
Removed the 4 :bug entries from known-divergences.edn (now certified), regenerated
corpus + profile, re-minted the Chez bootstrap seed (clojure.core changed). Gates:
Janet 155/0, JVM certify clean, both Chez corpus gates 2534 (floors raised),
bootstrap 6/6, fixpoint intact.
Makes the host-neutral corpus a first-class language specification with
conformance levels, not just a regression suite.
- [suite label] is now a unique, stable case id (extract-corpus disambiguates
duplicate labels with ' (N)' — one collision existed).
- certify.clj --profile emits test/conformance/profile.edn: every non-portable
case classified by the host feature it requires (numerics/double-only,
concurrency/snapshot, host/jvm-interop, host/arrays, host/janet,
async/core-async, runtime/eval, reader/jolt, printer/jolt, strictness/jolt,
impl/representation, bug). 2670 of 2919 cases are portable (pass on any faithful
Clojure); 249 are feature-gated.
- SPEC.md documents the contract: row schema, the JVM oracle, conformance levels,
the feature vocabulary, and a worked new-runtime harness — so hosting jolt
elsewhere and proving it correct is read-one-file mechanical.
Janet gate 155 files 0 failed; certify + zero-janet gates green.
The corpus only ever saw test/spec/*-spec.janet; the 355 hand-written cases in
test/integration/conformance-test.janet (inline Janet, the lazy-seq / IFn /
destructuring / transducer essentials) were invisible to it and to any non-Janet
runtime. extract-corpus.janet now also pulls that (def cases ...) vector, deduped
by :actual, organized into 41 'conformance / <section>' suites recovered from the
file's ### headers. Corpus 2658 -> 2919 rows (+261 unique).
JVM certification: only 1 new divergence ((/ 2) => 0.5 vs 1/2, the all-double
numeric model) — classified. Chez gates: +1 known host gap (instance? Atom, atom
class identity, Phase 4) allowlisted in both runners; parity rose 2295 -> 2533 on
both, floors raised. Janet gate 155 files 0 failed; certifier green (0 new/stale).
Deferred: 41 non-literal core-async spec rows ((a "src") async-harness wrapper)
need harness context the corpus format doesn't carry — left for inc3.
The transient assoc! accepted an odd key/val count and silently assigned
nil to the dangling key — non-Clojure, and inconsistent with the seed's
own plain assoc (which throws) and Clojure's assoc!. Make it throw.
Updates the 4 'assoc! odd args' transient spec rows to 3 :throws + 1
even-args positive, and regenerates corpus.edn. The Chez host already
threw on these, so this only realigns the corpus contract.
Emit a :quote node by reconstructing the raw reader form as RT constructor
calls: symbol -> jolt-symbol, list (array) -> jolt-list, vector (tuple) ->
jolt-vector, map -> jolt-hash-map, set -> jolt-hash-set, scalars via emit-const.
The runtime value of a quote is just that literal data (the interpreter returns
the reader form verbatim).
Quote exposed a latent seq.ss bug: empty map/filter results were jolt-nil, but
Clojure's (map f []) is an empty seq, so (= () (map f [])) must be true. Return
jolt-empty-list (which seqs back to nil, so it's still a valid lazy-tail
terminator) instead — matching jolt-take/drop/rest/list.
Prelude emit reach 334 -> 342/355. Subset probe 632 -> 664/664 compiled, 0
divergences (quote + the seq fix pull 32 corpus cases into the subset). emit-test
110/110 (added 16 quote cases). corpus.edn regenerated (the 3 malformed-catch
spec rows). Full gate green.
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.
