bigdec values existed but +,-,*,/ and compare threw — the header even said
"arithmetic contagion is not modelled". Add the scale-aware engine on the
{unscaled, scale} pair (jbd-add/-sub/-mul/-div + comparison helpers) following
java.math.BigDecimal's rules: add/sub align to the larger scale, multiply adds
scales, divide gives the exact quotient at minimal scale or throws
ArithmeticException on a non-terminating expansion. Clojure contagion: a bigdec
mixed with an integer stays bigdec, a flonum operand wins (result is a double).
Wire it into the value-position shims only — jolt-add/-sub/-mul/-div (what
(reduce + bigs)/(apply * bigs) lower to) and compare — so the inlined native hot
path is untouched. A call-position (+ 1.5M 2.5M) still reaches the raw Chez op;
that needs the analyzer's :bigdec type (next).
Runtime .ss only, no re-mint. 13 JVM-certified corpus rows.
The host/chez directory mixed jolt's own runtime (value model, seq, reader,
vars, ns, multimethods) with the shims that emulate the JVM: java.* / javax.*
classes, clojure.lang interfaces, and the host-class registry they hang off.
Move that JVM-emulation layer into host/chez/java/ so it reads as a distinct
unit instead of being interleaved with the platform runtime.
Moved (content unchanged): host-static, host-static-methods,
host-static-classes, host-class, dot-forms, records-interop, byte-buffer,
io, io-streams, inst-time, java-time, bigdec, natives-queue, natives-str,
natives-array, math, concurrency, async, ffi.
The load paths in rt.ss/cli.ss and the build.ss runtime manifest are updated
to point at java/; the build inliner follows the (load ...) strings, so the
AOT path needs no other change. All runtime shims, no seed source touched
(the three .clj edits are doc comments), so no re-mint.
Gate green: make test (selfhost fixpoint, certify 0-new, sci 211, infer),
shakesmoke (4 apps byte-identical).
