run-tests.janet runs the same file set as `jpm test` across a pool of worker
processes (one `janet FILE` each, ev-based). The full gate goes from ~790s
serial to ~98s here (8x), and more on CI where the heavy files don't thrash on
swap. CI and the docs point at it; `jpm test` still works serially.
Three things dominated the wall:
- Nine integration tests cold-built a compile ctx (~8s each); switch them to
api/init-cached so they share the prebuilt image. The cache key already
fingerprints the ctx-shaping env vars, so the direct-link ones share one DL
image and the rest share the plain one.
- core-bench's main ran on every gate (~35s of benchmark loops that assert
nothing); gate it behind JOLT_BENCH=1.
- cli-test spawned `janet src/jolt/main.janet` ~20 times at ~8s cold each
(340s under parallel load, and it was the whole wall); prefer build/jolt
(~20ms baked ctx) when present, fall back to from-source for an unbuilt tree.
type-check-test stays on cold init: a snapshot-loaded ctx loses the success
checker's op/msg detail (jolt-vley). jolt-pria tracks caching from-source
startup generally, which would let cli-test drop the build/jolt preference.

The inference now tags a :local it proved to be a vector with :hint :vector, and
the back end specializes (count v) -> pv-count (skipping core-count's dispatch
chain) and the 3-arg (nth v i default) -> pv-nth. The 2-arg nth is deliberately
NOT specialized: pv-nth returns nil out-of-bounds where Clojure nth throws.
Sound, conformance 335/335 x3 and full jpm test pass; type-infer-phase2-test
pins the specialization and the 2-arg exclusion.
