The runtime counterpart to bootstrap.ss. host/chez/cli.ss loads the checked-in
seed + the zero-Janet spine and compiles+evals a -e expression entirely on Chez;
bin/joltc execs it. With the seed checked in, a clone runs jolt with only Chez
installed — no Janet at build or run time. Multi-form -e wraps in (do ...) to
match Clojure. test/chez/cli-test.janet 9/9.
Makes the inc8 fixpoint the actual build. host/chez/bootstrap.ss loads a seed
(prelude, image) pair and rebuilds the clojure.core prelude + compiler image from
source via the on-Chez compiler — read/analyze/emit all on Chez, zero Janet.
The seed (host/chez/seed/{prelude,image}.ss) is the checked-in bootstrap
compiler, minted once via the fixpoint (driver/mint-chez-seed* iterates
bootstrap.ss from the Janet-emitted pair to a joint byte-fixpoint). It's a joint
fixpoint: rebuilding from an up-to-date seed reproduces it exactly. So a fresh
checkout + Chez (no Janet) yields a working jolt.
test/chez/bootstrap-test.janet spawns only chez, asserts the rebuilt artifacts
match the seed byte-for-byte and compile+run real cases. Drift (seed sources
changed) fails the test with a re-mint pointer; host/chez/seed/README documents
re-minting.
Extends the fixpoint beyond the compiler image to the whole emitted system.
emit-image.ss now handles macros (defmacro -> bare expander fn + def-var! +
mark-macro!) and re-emits the clojure.core prelude (all tiers + stdlib) on Chez
via jolt-emit-prelude; driver's emit-image-on-chez takes an emit-fn arg.
The prelude converges at pstage3==pstage4 (one stage later than the compiler's
stage2==stage3) because macro expanders bake an auto-gensym id at emit time, so a
Janet-emitted macro carries a different id than a Chez-emitted one — only once
both stages load a Chez-emitted prelude does it stabilize.
fixpoint-test now proves: compiler stage2==stage3, prelude pstage3==pstage4, and
the fully Chez-emitted system (Chez prelude + Chez image, no Janet artifact in the
loop) compiles+runs real cases. 10/10.
The zero-Janet spine proves the on-Chez analyzer/emitter compile arbitrary
Clojure faithfully. This proves the stronger property: the on-Chez compiler
reproduces itself. emit-image.ss re-emits the compiler sources (jolt.ir +
jolt.analyzer + jolt.backend-scheme) ON CHEZ via the loaded image; feeding it
stage1 (the Janet cross-compile) yields stage2, feeding stage2 yields stage3.
stage2 and stage3 are byte-for-byte identical, and stage2 is a working compiler
(real cases compile+run through it). stage1 differs from stage2 only in gensym
numbering, so the fixpoint is stage2==stage3.
driver: emit-image-on-chez / program-emit-image spawn a fresh chez per stage
(clean gensym state). test/chez/fixpoint-test.janet gates it (skips without chez).
(require '[clojure.string :refer [blank?]]) then an unqualified blank? now
resolves. chez-register-spec! registers :refer names (in addition to :as) into a
refer table; hc-resolve-cell's unqualified branch consults it before clojure.core.
Zero-Janet corpus parity 2293 -> 2295 = the Janet-hosted oracle's exact pass
count. The self-hosted Chez compiler (read -> analyze -> emit -> eval, no Janet)
now compiles every corpus case the Janet-hosted compiler does, with 0
divergences. Remaining failures are shared runtime breadth (host interop,
futures, runtime eval) deferred to Phase 4 / jolt-r8ku. Floor 2295.
The batched zero-Janet runner wrote one case per TSV line, so a multi-line
source (e.g. a ;comment\n inside a map literal) split the line and the case was
truncated -> a false "apply non-procedure" crash. Escape \n/\t/\\ when writing
the cases file and unescape in the runner before eval.
Zero-Janet corpus parity 2288 -> 2293 (the 5 comment-in-map cases), 0
divergences — now within 2 of the Janet-hosted oracle (2295). Floor 2293.
Reader gaps the Chez-hosted analyzer hit where the Janet reader didn't:
- ##Inf / ##-Inf / ##NaN symbolic literals (## dispatch -> flonum).
- #(...) anonymous fn shorthand -> (fn* [p__N#] body), with % / %N / %& and the
max-positional arity rule; scans + rewrites list/vector/set/map bodies.
- #?(...) reader conditional: feature set {:jolt :default}, first matching clause
wins. #?@ splicing not yet supported (one niche case allowlisted).
- (ns name (:require [a :as x])) — the require pre-scan now also reads aliases
from an ns form's :require/:use clauses, not just bare (require ...).
Zero-Janet corpus parity 2240 -> 2288, 0 divergences (2 now-reachable cases
allowlisted: str of Infinity inside a collection — same as the prelude gate —
and #?@ splice). spine-test 35/35; prelude parity 2295 unchanged, 0 new
divergences.
(require '[clojure.string :as s]) then s/foo crashed "Unknown class s": the
Chez analyzer resolved a qualified symbol's ns literally, and there was no
alias table (ns.ss jolt-ns-aliases was a stub, require a no-op). Add an alias
table + chez-register-spec! (parses [ns :as a]) in ns.ss; hc-resolve-cell now
resolves a qualified ns through it; compile-eval pre-registers a form's
require/use :as aliases before analysis (analysis precedes the runtime require,
so the runtime require staying a no-op is fine). The batched gate runner clears
the alias table between cases.
Zero-Janet corpus parity 2159 -> 2240, 0 divergences. spine-test 35/35.
Point the Chez-HOSTED analyzer at the full parity corpus (read -> analyze ->
emit -> eval, all on Chez, no Janet) and close the divergences so the
self-hosted compiler is faithful: 0 divergences, 2159/2494 pass.
Keystone: the on-Chez emitter ran with prelude-mode off, so every call to a
non-native clojure.core fn tripped the "unsupported stdlib fn" out-of-subset
guard. The zero-Janet spine always has the full prelude loaded, so turn
prelude mode on in compile-eval.ss (22% -> 84% pass on a sample).
Faithfulness fixes (each was the Chez host/reader diverging from the Janet
analyzer; fixed in the keeper, not the seed):
- emit-const read a char's codepoint via (get v :ch) — the Janet rep; on Chez a
char is native. Route through a new form-char-code host-contract fn (41 cases).
- next over a lazy seq returned the empty-list terminator (truthy), not nil, so
butlast and other (if (next s) ...) loops ran one step too far — broke
some->/some->>/cond->>.
- reader: radix literals (2r1010/16rFF/36rZ), #^ deprecated metadata, ^meta on
collections (lowers to a runtime with-meta form like the Janet reader),
map-literal source order (values eval left-to-right), and nested syntax-quote
over a literal collapses at read time.
- keyword "a/b" splits into ns/name like the seed (destructure {:keys [x/y]}).
- form-syntax-quote-lower implemented on Chez (was a throwing stub).
7 divergences allowlisted: the same print-method-multimethod / host-class set
the prelude gate defers. 328 crashes remain = shared runtime breadth (host
interop, missing core fns, eval/load-string) deferred to Phase 4 / jolt-r8ku,
not compiler faithfulness.
Gate + speedup: test/chez/run-corpus-zero-janet.janet (floor 2159). Its batched
runner (driver/eval-corpus-zero-janet) runs every case in ONE chez process —
load the runtime once, guard + reset the user namespace per case — instead of a
fresh process per case: 1379s -> 1.6s.
spine-test 35/35; Janet gate 151/0; prelude parity 2295/2494 unchanged, 0 new
divergences.
The on-Chez analyzer (inc6a) skipped macros, so let/when/->/defn didn't
expand from source. Each core/stdlib defmacro now emits into the prelude as
(def-var! ns name <expander fn>) + (mark-macro! ns name); form-macro?/
form-expand-1 on Chez look up the macro flag (rt.ss var-macro-table) and
apply the expander to the unevaluated arg forms, and the analyzer re-analyzes
the result. The expander's syntax-quote template was lowered to construction
code at cross-compile time, so it builds the expansion via __sqcat/__sqvec/
__sqmap/__sqset/__sq1 (new host/chez/syntax-quote.ss) as Chez reader forms.
Emit the bare (fn ...), not (def NAME (fn ...)): analyzing a def would
host-intern! NAME as a non-macro stub in the build ctx, and that stub makes a
later (require '[stdlib-ns]) skip loading the real macro — with-pprint-dispatch
then resolved as a fn and returned its unexpanded template. Wrapping the
lambda in def-var! manually never interns NAME. Fuller build-ctx isolation
(so stdlib cases pass instead of crash) tracked in jolt-lpvi.
__sqset builds a real set VALUE, not the reader's tagged-set form — a runtime
`#{~@xs} must be a set, not a map. form-set? additionally recognizes a pset so
a macro template's #{...} expansion still re-analyzes as a set literal.
spine-test 35/35 (20 macro cases: when/when-not/let/->/->>/and/or/cond/if-not/
defn run zero-Janet from source). Prelude parity 2280->2295, 0 new divergences.
Full Janet gate green.
Cross-compile jolt.ir + jolt.analyzer + jolt.backend-scheme to Scheme def-var!
forms via the existing Janet emit pipeline (driver/emit-compiler-image) and run
them ON CHEZ over a Scheme jolt.host impl. A macro-free Clojure expression now
compiles and runs with no Janet in the loop: read (reader.ss) -> analyze
(jolt.analyzer on Chez) -> IR -> emit (jolt.backend-scheme on Chez) -> eval.
host/chez/host-contract.ss is the jolt.host contract on Chez (the portable seam
the cross-compiled analyzer/emitter call): form-* over the Chez reader's forms,
resolve-global/compile-ns/host-intern!/late-bind? over the var-cell registry. ctx
is an opaque record carrying the compile ns. Native-op names are declare-var!'d
into clojure.core so +, *, <, ... classify as :var and the emitter's native-op
path lowers them. form-macro? is a #f stub and macro expansion / syntax-quote /
record hints are stubs for inc6b (runtime macros, jolt-r8ku).
host/chez/compile-eval.ss is the spine entry (read-string -> analyze -> emit ->
eval). driver gains emit-compiler-image / ensure-compiler-image (image caching)
and program-zero-janet / eval-zero-janet.
Two bugs fixed in the keeper, not reproduced:
- the Chez reader stores an unqualified symbol's ns as #f, but the analyzer tests
(nil? ns); hc-sym-ns normalizes #f/'() -> jolt-nil. Without it every handled
special (if/do/fn*) misanalyzed as a plain invoke.
- char (int->char) was missing from clojure.core on Chez; the emitter's
chez-str-lit needs it for keyword/string consts. Added jolt-char to converters.ss.
Gate: test/chez/spine-test.janet 15/15 (Chez-hosted analyzer value == Janet-hosted
oracle through the same emitter/RT; only the analysis host differs). Full Janet
gate green (150 files). driver.janet is in the prelude fingerprint so the cache key
moved; prelude content is unchanged. jolt-chez fingerprint/ensure-prelude made
public for the test harness.
driver.janet now compiles IR via the portable Clojure emitter (jolt.backend-
scheme) instead of emit.janet, at every entry point (compile-program, emit-core-
prelude, eval-e-with-prelude). The emitter is loaded into the ctx and called like
the analyzer. emit.janet stays only as the emit/program string-wrapper until
program assembly ports to Clojure with compile-from-source; its emit fn is no
longer called anywhere (emit-test's truthy-elision helper now uses the new
d/scheme-emit too). This takes the IR->Scheme emitter off Janet.
A form-by-form diff of the two emitters over the whole prelude found one gap:
emit-const missed char literals because a :jolt/type-tagged struct is not a plain
jolt map? — switched to the form-char? host contract. Diff then 0.
jolt-chez prelude fingerprint now includes backend_scheme.clj + host_iface.janet.
Gate: full prelude corpus 2280/2494, NEW divergence 0, same buckets as the Phase-2
emit.janet floor (36 emit-fail, 170 crash) — the Clojure emitter is byte-for-
behavior identical. emit-test 331/331 (now via the Clojure emitter), emit-parity
58/58. jolt-duot.
Close the remaining Phase-2 stdlib parity gaps.
clojure.set: pure Clojure over core, so just added to the prelude stdlib tier
(driver.janet stdlib-ns-files + jolt-chez fingerprint), same as clojure.edn.
clojure.math: not a .clj on the seed (native math/ bindings via jolt-h79), so
Chez gets its own host/chez/math.ss def-var!ing each fn over Chez native flonum
math. The analyzer already knows the ns (api.janet install-clojure-math!), so
refs lower to var-deref. Also adds the missing 'long' coercion to converters.ss
(int's sibling; several math cases wrap in long).
clojure.pprint: dropped the 2-arity's (binding [*out* writer] ...). *out* isn't
a bindable var in jolt — printing routes through the host (dyn :out) seam, so
the binding never redirected anything; it only made the defn uncompilable, which
the seed tolerated via interpreter fallback. Chez has no fallback, so the whole
pprint defn died. Dropping it is behavior-preserving (writer was always ignored)
and lets pprint compile cleanly. Both corpus cases pass.
Corpus parity 2259 -> 2280, crashes 191 -> 170, 0 new divergences. Floor raised.
New unit test test/chez/_stdlib.janet (27/27). Full Janet gate green (147 files).
Chez-side recursive-descent Clojure reader (host/chez/reader.ss) producing the
same jolt forms the Janet reader yields, behind the read-string / __parse-next /
__read-tagged seams the seed registers in eval_runtime.janet. That lights up the
whole *in* read family — read, read+string, with-in-str (read) — plus read-string
and read-string metadata, none of which needed an analyzer change (read-string is
a clojure.core seam, jolt-nil on the prelude until now).
Reader output is pinned to the Janet reader's shapes: numbers coerce to flonum
(the all-double model emit-const uses, else a read int isn't = a source int),
sets read as the {:jolt/type :jolt/set :value [...]} FORM, #tag/#inst/#uuid/#regex
as tagged forms (no data reader applied — read-string never evaluates), ^meta on
a symbol, and the ' ` ~ ~@ @ reader macros. clojure.edn is added to the prelude
tier; its edn->value builds the real set/tagged values and __read-tagged reuses
the inc X #inst/#uuid constructors. The reader-arity edn/read stays a lazy gap
(drain-reader is Janet-coupled) — read-string is the live path.
eval / load-string / runtime defmacro are still out: they need the compiler at
runtime, which is Phase 3 (self-host). Chez-only change, no Janet gate.
Parity 2238 -> 2259, 0 new divergences. _reader 47/47; all chez unit tests green;
emit-test 331/331.
The analyzer lowers a #inst/#uuid tagged form to a :inst/:uuid IR leaf, mirroring
the existing :regex node: the Janet back end punts to the interpreter (its
data-readers parse the literal, so seed behavior is unchanged), the Chez back end
emits jolt-inst-from-string / jolt-uuid-from-string.
host/chez/inst-time.ss is the Chez-native value layer: a jinst record holding
epoch ms (RFC3339 parsed via Hinnant civil/days math, with Clojure's partial
defaults and +/-hh:mm offsets), wired into jolt-get (so the overlay inst?/inst-ms
read it), jolt= / jolt-hash (instant identity as a map key), pr-str (#inst
"...-00:00"), str, type, and instance? java.util.Date. The java.time surface
(DateTimeFormatter ofPattern/ISO_LOCAL_DATE_TIME/ofLocalized*, the pattern engine,
Instant, ZoneId, LocalDateTime, FormatStyle, Locale, Date) ports java_base.janet
over host-static.ss's registries.
Corpus 2202->2238, 0 new divergences; clears the whole 'unsupported form'
emit-fail bucket. Full Janet gate green (analyzer/backend changes are
behaviour-preserving — #inst still parses through the interpreter's data-readers
on the seed).
clojure.java.io/reader as an in-memory StringReader over slurp/string/char[]/
File; File .toURL/.toURI returning a url jhost (.toString/.getPath); slurp drains
a StringReader; char-array; with-open's __close seam over jhost readers and plain
:close maps. All in host/chez/io.ss (Chez-native, no analyzer change). Corpus
2191->2202, 0 new divergences. clojure.edn/read over a PushbackReader stays
jolt-r8ku (runtime read).
A File is a path-backed jfile record: (instance? java.io.File f) is true,
str/slurp coerce it to its path, and the File method surface (getName/
getPath/exists/isDirectory/isFile/listFiles/getParent) dispatches through
record-method-dispatch. slurp/spit/flush run over Chez's filesystem
primitives; file-seq's dir primitives (__file?/__dir?/__list-dir) and the
overlay's File branch (.isDirectory/.listFiles, which emit to jolt-host-call)
are jfile-aware. clojure.java.io/file + as-file are def-var!'d natively.
New host/chez/io.ss, a Chez-native implementation -- the seed's
clojure.java.io (io.clj) is a Janet-backed shim over janet.*/janet.file, so
it can't be reused. The analyzer resolves io/file because the seed ctx has
clojure.java.io loaded; only a runtime def-var! is needed. type/instance-
check/str-render/jolt-host-call are extended via the set!-wrap pattern (type
also re-def-var!'d since the var cell captured the old value).
Reader/StringReader-coupled io (io/reader, line-seq over a file, .toURL,
slurp over a reader) deferred to jolt-at0a.
Parity 2176 -> 2191, 0 new divergences. New test/chez/_io.janet 20/20.
list? was nil on Chez because one cseq record backs both lists and lazy/
realized seqs. Add a list? marker field (cseq v2) set only on the HEAD cell
of a list -- (list ...), quoted list literals, cons, reverse, conj onto a
list. rest/next/seq/map therefore yield unmarked seq cells, so they are
seqs and not list?, matching the seed (where rest-of-a-list is a non-list
seq). Empty () is treated as a list.
vector?: drop the map-entry exclusion. Clojure's MapEntry implements
IPersistentVector and the seed agrees -- (vector? (first {:a 1})) is true.
Only dot-forms' coll dispatch read jolt-vector?, where a 2-vector entry is
correct.
clojure.walk + clojure.template join the prelude stdlib tier. The driver
now evals each stdlib ns's requires -- and the ns form's (:require ...)
clause -- so an aliased ref (template's walk/postwalk-replace) resolves at
emit time instead of lowering to an Unknown class host-static. ns forms are
evaled for that side effect but not emitted, so the runtime *ns* doesn't
leak to the last stdlib ns.
Parity 2163 -> 2176, 0 new divergences. New test/chez/_walk.janet 39/39.
Bare class names (String, Keyword, File...) evaluate to their JVM
canonical-name string, the same value (class x) returns, so
(= String (class "x")) holds and (defmethod m String ...) keys match a
(class ...) dispatch. New host/chez/host-class.ss ports
eval_resolve.janet's class-canonical-names + core_refs.janet's core-class
(scalar arms; collections/seqs are host-taxonomy-dependent and not class-
compared in the corpus).
The analyzer already resolves these names to clojure.core vars (the seed
ctx interns them via setup-class-ctors), so the back end emits
(var-deref "clojure.core" "String") and a runtime def-var! is all that's
needed -- no analyzer change, Janet path untouched. The class native MUST
land together with token resolution: alone it turns the bare-token corpus
cases (562/564) into divergences (this bit last session).
Parity 2154 -> 2163 (cases 560/562/563/564/2500-2503), 0 new divergences.
New test/chez/_class.janet 19/19.
The Chez atom record gains watches (an alist of key->fn) and validator
slots. swap!/reset! now validate the candidate value before storing and
notify watches after, in the seed's order (core_refs.janet) — the watch fn
is called (key ref old new). compare-and-set!/swap-vals!/reset-vals! route
through reset!/swap! so they validate + notify too.
add-watch/remove-watch/set-validator!/get-validator are native here and
re-asserted in post-prelude.ss: the clojure.core overlay implements them via
jolt.host/ref-put! on (get atom :watches), a Janet-table mutation a Chez atom
record can't answer, so its def-var! would otherwise clobber these. set-
validator! validates the current value immediately (Clojure throws if already
invalid).
Parity 2150 -> 2154, 0 new divergences. New test/chez/_atomwatch.janet 10/10.
The (class x) native and the clojure.walk port were explored this increment
but deferred: class alone makes the String-class-token corpus cases emit-and-
run with a wrong value (the bare token doesn't resolve yet) — filed jolt-13zk
to land the native together with token resolution; clojure.walk is blocked on
list? + map-entry-as-vector (jolt-75sv).
The analyzer lowers the `.` special form (. target member arg*) and the
.-field field-access head to a :host-call instead of leaving them
uncompilable. Janet behaviour is unchanged — its back end punts :host-call
to the interpreter, which re-runs the original `.` form via eval-dot.
The Chez back end routes a non-shimmed :host-call through
record-method-dispatch, extended by a new host/chez/dot-forms.ss with the
arms dispatch-member covers but the record/string base did not, mirroring
src/jolt/interop/collections.janet precedence:
- collection interop first (count/seq/nth/get/valAt/containsKey on a
vector/map/set), so (. {:count 9} count) is the entry count like the seed
- field access for a "-name" member (records and maps)
- the seed's universal object-methods (getMessage/getCause/toString/
hashCode/equals) on a non-record map, winning over a field lookup
- non-record map member: a stored fn is a method called with self, else
the field value
Raw seqs are excluded from coll interop — the seed's behaviour there is
representation-dependent (plain (seq v) vs a lazy-seq) and a normalized cseq
can't mirror it. Also added getMessage/getLocalizedMessage/equals to the
string method surface so a thrown string / Exception. ctor (which keeps the
message string) answers .getMessage.
Parity 2134 -> 2150, 0 new divergences. New test/chez/_dotform.janet 26/26;
emit-test 331/331.
Lower host class interop on the Chez back end. The analyzer now turns a
non-var qualified ref `Class/member` into a :host-static node and a
`(Class. ...)` / `(new Class ...)` form into a :host-new node (ir.clj
gains both, with walker support). The Janet back end punts both to the
interpreter, so its behavior is unchanged (verified: dot-form, `..`
threading, shadowed `new`, and all interop still resolve via fallback).
The Chez emit lowers a value ref to host-static-ref, a call head to
host-static-call, and a constructor to host-new. host/chez/host-static.ss
is the runtime registry these resolve against — the Chez port of the
seed's class-statics / class-ctors / tagged-methods (java_base.janet +
host_io.janet), restricted to the java.lang/util/net/io surface portable
cljc code calls: Math, System (getenv/getProperty/exit/currentTimeMillis),
Long, Integer, Boolean, Character, String, Thread, Class, Pattern
(compile/quote/MULTILINE), URLEncoder/Decoder, Base64, the Number method
surface (byteValue/intValue/...), plus the StringBuilder, StringWriter,
StringReader, PushbackReader, HashMap, StringTokenizer, BigInteger,
String, MapEntry, and exception constructors. Constructed objects are
jhost records dispatched through record-method-dispatch.
Also: emit now evaluates collection-literal elements left-to-right
(emit-ordered) — Chez evaluates call args right-to-left, which had been
swapping side-effecting elements in [(read r) (read r)] and map literals.
This un-allowlisted the 6 eval-order corpus cases (the read-line trio +
the three map-construction cases). Removed `.write` from the
jolt-host-call fast-path so a StringWriter routes through dispatch.
java.time formatting, edn/read-over-readers, and slurp/with-open over
readers are deferred to a follow-up.
Corpus parity 2078 -> 2134 (floor raised), 0 new divergences; the
print-method builtin-override case is allowlisted (same multimethod gap,
newly reachable now that StringWriter constructs). emit-test 326/326,
_javastatic 51/51, conformance 355x3, full jpm test green.
Bring the clojure.string namespace up on Chez so aliased refs like s/split,
s/upper-case, s/join, s/replace resolve and run.
Three pieces. (1) The Chez AOT driver analyzes the whole user form before any
require runs, so a (require '[clojure.string :as s]) never registered the
alias in time; eval-e-with-prelude now recursively pre-evals require/use forms
against the ctx, which loads the aliased ns and registers the alias so the
analyzer resolves s/X to a clojure.string var. (2) emit-core-prelude emits
stdlib namespaces (clojure.string) as their own def-var! tier through the same
analyze->emit pipeline, so the runtime var-deref resolves. (3) natives-str.ss
def-var!s the str-* primitives clojure.string.clj is written over (upper/lower/
trim/triml/trimr/find/reverse-b/join/split/replace/replace-all), plus no-op
require/use. Regex split keeps interior empties and honors the limit (ported
the seed re-split); regex replace does $N backref expansion and fn replacement
(ported replacement-for). new RT/clj files added to the prelude fingerprint.
Corpus prelude floor 2026 -> 2078 (+52), 0 new divergences. _strns 28/28 vs
build/jolt. Four previously-CRASHING cases now emit+run and surface pre-existing
gaps (read-line vector eval-order x3, instance? clojure.lang.Atom) — allowlisted
with notes. full jpm test + conformance x3 green.
Port the java.lang.String/CharSequence method surface to the Chez RT so
(.toUpperCase s), (.substring s a b), (.indexOf s x), the regex methods
(.matches/.replaceAll/.replaceFirst/.split), etc. run on a string target.
natives-str.ss holds jolt-string-method, ported from the seed's surface in
eval_resolve.janet: ASCII case mapping (byte-oriented like the seed), -1 on
indexOf miss, flonum numeric returns to match jolt's number model, Scheme
chars for charAt, and the regex methods over the irregex compiled via
jolt-re-pattern. record-method-dispatch gains a string? arm that falls
through to it (unsupported methods still throw).
Corpus prelude floor 2002 -> 2026 (+24), 0 new divergences. _str 27/27 vs
build/jolt; full jpm test + conformance x3 green.
The (. x m) dot-form (the . special form, distinct from .method sugar) and
the clojure.string namespace (needs prelude plumbing + Pattern) stay deferred.
Implement (type x) on the Chez RT (host/chez/natives-meta.ss). Mirrors the
seed's core-type: the :type metadata wins when present, a record yields its
ns-qualified class-name SYMBOL (user.TyR — no-ns sentinel #f so it = the
overlay's (symbol (str t))), everything else a host-taxonomy keyword
(:number/:string/:vector/:map/:set/:seq/:fn/…). Total by construction — a
non-record value falling through to a crash would read as a divergence, so the
cond covers every value type incl. the host wrappers (atom/volatile/regex/var/
transient/uuid -> :jolt/*, a :jolt/type-tagged map like ex-info -> its tag,
sorted-set -> :jolt/sorted-set, sorted-map -> :map) and a final :object.
Also pin sequential?/seq? on lazy seqs (test/chez/_seqpred.janet): the inc M
seq? re-def-var! fix already covers sequential? transitively (sequential? is
overlay and delegates to seq?), so no code change — the earlier "still broken"
note was wrong, it assumed sequential? was native like seq?.
Prelude corpus parity 2000 -> 2002 (the two type cases), floor raised, 0 new
divergences. Gate: _type 37/37 + _seqpred 22/22 (both vs build/jolt oracle),
emit-test 321/321, full jpm test, conformance 355x3.
Add the dynamic-binding cluster on the Chez RT: a per-thread binding stack
(host/chez/dyn-binding.ss) backing binding / with-bindings* / var-set /
thread-bound? / with-local-vars / with-redefs / bound-fn* /
get-thread-bindings / alter-var-root + the __local-var seam.
Frames are stored innermost-first as identity-keyed alists of mutable
(cell . value) pairs, so var-set updates the current binding in place. The
two var-read paths — var-deref (compiled code) and jolt-var-get (var-get /
deref on a cell) — are chained onto the stack so a `binding` frame is seen
by every read, with a fast path when the stack is empty. var-cells now hash
by ns/name so a var works as a map key (with-redefs builds (hash-map (var f)
v); get-thread-bindings returns a var-keyed map).
Fix a latent bug exposed once with-in-str could bind *in*: seq? didn't
recognize a lazy-seq. predicates.ss's jolt-seq? predates the lazyseq record,
and unlike the native-op dispatchers it's reached via var-deref, so the
patch must re-def-var! the var, not just set! the top-level binding.
Note: with-bindings* over a hash-map literal now returns the correct Clojure
value where the seed returns a stale one — the seed's PHM can't find a var
key (which is why its `binding` uses array-map); on Chez frames look up by
cell identity.
Prelude corpus parity 1972 -> 2000, floor raised. Gate: _dynbind 24/24,
prelude corpus 0 divergences, full jpm test, conformance 355x3.
Capture a def's reader metadata on the Chez var. The :def emit now lowers a def
with non-empty metadata to def-var-with-meta!, which stores the user meta
(^:private / ^Type tag / docstring -> {:doc}) in an eq side-table keyed by the
var-cell. jolt-meta of a var-cell merges that onto {:ns :name} derived from the
cell, so every var reports {:ns :name} like Clojure with the def-time meta
layered on. (^{:map} metadata on a def name stays uncompilable for the compiler
generally — analyzer rejects it, the Janet back end punts to its interpreter,
which Chez lacks — so it's out of subset, not a meta-capture gap.)
Added natives-meta.ss to the prelude-cache fingerprint. Prelude parity
1969 -> 1972, 0 new divergences; the three var-metadata allowlist entries
(^:private / ^Type tag / docstring) dropped. New focused gate
test/chez/_var_meta.janet.
Reimplement the ctx-coupled seed ns natives over the rt.ss var-table, since
Chez has no ctx. host/chez/ns.ss adds a jns namespace value + a registry and
binds find-ns/the-ns/create-ns/in-ns/all-ns/ns-publics/ns-map/ns-interns/
ns-aliases/resolve/find-var/ns-unmap/*ns* into clojure.core.
The resolve friction: native-ops (+, map, …) are inlined at emit so they have
no var-cell, and (resolve '+) was nil — diverging from Clojure where it's a
var. Added a defined? flag to the var-cell record (set by def-var!/declare-var!,
left false on a lazily-materialised forward ref) and def-var!'d every native-op
name to its value-position proc, so resolve returns the cell iff genuinely
defined. ns-unmap clears the flag. resolve never interns an empty cell
(var-cell-lookup is non-creating).
ns-name is overridden natively in post-prelude (the overlay reads
(get ns :name), nil on a jns record); the printers render a namespace as its
name. *ns* binds to the user ns; in-ns re-binds it. use/require cross-ns
switching stays deferred to Phase 3 (the analyzer bakes a def's target ns at
compile time).
Prelude parity 1951 -> 1969, 0 new divergences; four now-passing allowlist
entries dropped (ns *ns* cases + str-of-a-var). New focused gate test/chez/
_ns.janet (19 cases, expectations from the JVM-canonical build/jolt).
inc I (jolt-n7rz) — vars as first-class objects. (var x)/#'x lowered a
:the-var IR op the Chez emitter didn't handle (57 emit-fails, the biggest
bucket); emit it to the rt.ss var-cell and shim the static var ops in
vars.ss: var?/var-get/deref/var-as-IFn/var =/pr-str (#'ns/name) + a native
bound? (the overlay reads (get v :root), nil on a var-cell record). def now
RETURNS the var (#'ns/name) like Clojure — def-var!/declare-var! yield the
cell, not the value — so (var? (def x 1)) is true and pr-str-of-var/defn
pass (un-allowlisted). Dynamic binding (binding/with-bindings*/var-set/
thread-bound?) stays a follow-up; those crash on nil host prims (safe).
Var def-time metadata (^:private/^Type/doc) isn't captured yet — allowlisted.
inc J (jolt-snry) — scalar natives. natives-misc.ss: a juuid record
(random-uuid v4 / parse-uuid / uuid? / #uuid pr-str / str), a %-format
engine (%d/%s/%.Nf/%x/%c/%%; printf rides on it), a jtagged record
(tagged-literal + :tag/:form + #tag pr-str), bigint/biginteger as
near-identity over the all-flonum model. Overlay names (uuid?/random-uuid/
parse-uuid/tagged-literal?) re-asserted in post-prelude.ss.
Prelude parity 1898 -> 1951, 0 new divergences. Floor raised to 1951.
sequence and transduce were seed natives nil on the prelude; the stateful
transducer arities (take-nth/map-indexed/partition-by, overlay) drive a
volatile via volatile!/vswap!/vreset!/deref, also unshimmed — so the whole
(sequence xform coll) / (transduce xform f coll) surface crashed.
natives-xform.ss: native volatiles (a jvol record + volatile!/vreset!/
vswap!/volatile? + a deref arm); transduce/sequence built on the existing
into-xform / reduce-seq. The overlay vreset!/vswap!/volatile? drive a
volatile through ref-put!/:jolt/type (tagged-table only), so they're
overridden natively in post-prelude.ss.
driver.janet: drain each chez pipe to EOF instead of a single ev/read. A
program with a stdout side effect (newline) flushes in two writes and a
lone ev/read sometimes caught only the first chunk, dropping the trailing
value — an intermittent gate divergence. Now reads until the pipe closes.
Prelude parity 1886 -> 1898, 0 new divergences. Floor raised to 1898.
The lazy-seq macro expands to (make-lazy-seq (fn* [] (coll->cells body)))
and lazy-cat to (concat (lazy-seq c) ...); both seed natives were nil on
the prelude, so every overlay fn built on lazy-seq — repeat/iterate/
cycle/dedupe/take-nth/keep/interpose/reductions/map-indexed/distinct/
interleave/tree-seq(->flatten)/partition-all/lazy-cat — hit apply-jolt-nil.
lazy-bridge.ss bridges to the cseq model: a jolt-lazyseq is a deferred
seq forced once by an extended jolt-seq; jolt-cons defers a lazyseq tail
so an infinite (repeat/iterate/cycle) stays lazy. A lazyseq is a new
value type, so the dispatchers that don't route through jolt-seq learn it
(sequential? for =/hash, plus count/empty?/nth/printers) or a raw
unrealized lazyseq escapes — the corpus compares (= [1 3 5] (take-nth …))
against it directly.
seq.ss: jolt-concat is now fully lazy (the rest isn't forced until the
first coll is exhausted), so a self-referential lazy-cat — fib =
(lazy-cat [0 1] (map + (rest fib) fib)) — no longer memoizes its tail as
empty by reading fib before its def binds.
Prelude parity 1837 -> 1886, 0 new divergences. Floor raised to 1886.
jolt.host/tagged-table, ref-put!, ref-get resolved to jolt-nil on the
prelude, so the 25-sorted tier and every overlay fn that calls sorted?
(empty, ifn?, reversible?, map?, set?, coll?) hit apply-jolt-nil.
host-table.ss provides the three primitives over a Chez mutable htable
record and set!-extends the collection dispatchers (seq/count/get/
contains?/assoc1/dissoc/conj1/disj/empty?/keys/vals/coll?/map?/set? +
printers + equality + value-host-tags) with a sorted arm routing through
each value's :ops table — the seed dispatch pattern, same as records.ss.
first/rest/next fall out free since they seq first. Sorted colls print
in sorted order ({k v, k v} for maps) and = canonicalize like their
unordered counterparts.
emit.janet: a computed call operator (an :invoke/:if expr that yields an
IFn, e.g. ((sorted-map :a 1) :k)) now routes through jolt-invoke instead
of a raw Scheme application.
Prelude parity 1723 -> 1837, 0 new divergences. Floor raised to 1837.
meta/with-meta resolved to jolt-nil. Chez values don't carry metadata, so
collections use an identity-keyed side-table: with-meta returns a fresh copy of
the value (new identity) and records its meta there, leaving the original
unchanged (immutable-with-meta) and dropping meta on a later copying op. Symbols
carry meta in their existing field; meta on a non-metadatable value is nil.
vary-meta works over these. with-meta on a fn stays fn? (jolt is lenient).
emit.janet carries a quoted symbol's reader metadata (^:foo bar) onto the
emitted jolt-symbol so (meta 'x) sees it; symbol = still ignores meta.
Prelude parity 1701 -> 1723, 0 new divergences. jolt-rkbc.
The largest remaining crash bucket: defrecord/deftype/defprotocol/extend-type/
reify. make-deftype-ctor/make-protocol/protocol-dispatch/register-method/
satisfies?/extenders/instance-check/make-reified were ctx-capturing seed natives
resolving to jolt-nil.
records.ss adds a jrec type (tag + field alist), set!-extended into every
collection dispatcher (get/=/hash/count/keys/vals/seq/assoc/conj/contains?/map?/
pr-str/pr-readable/str) via the transients.ss capture-prev pattern, plus a
protocol registry (type-tag -> proto -> method -> fn) and dispatch over record
tags / host-type candidates. (get rec :jolt/deftype) returns the tag, so the
overlay record? works unchanged. A record equals another of the same type with
equal fields, is map?/coll? not vector?, prints #ns.Name{...}, and str uses a
custom Object toString impl when defined.
emit.janet :host-call now routes a non-shimmed method to record-method-dispatch
(was an emit-fail), so (.protoMethod record args) compiles; .-field access is
still analyzer-punted (deferred).
Prelude parity 1652 -> 1701, 0 new divergences. 4 print-method-multimethod cases
moved crash->allowlist (the printer doesn't consult a custom print-method yet).
jolt-jgoc.
__pr-str1/__write/__with-out-str/__eprint/__eprintf resolved to jolt-nil, so the
whole overlay print family (pr-str/pr/prn/print/println/print-str/prn-str/
println-str) hit the apply-jolt-nil crash bucket. jolt-pr-str is str-style
(strings raw); pr-str needs readable (pr) style — strings quoted+escaped at every
level. printing.ss adds the readable renderer (mirrors jolt-pr-str, recurses,
delegates scalars), plus the infinities long-form and a transient arm (those
were crash->divergence reveals once pr-str ran).
jolt-9zhh.
set/hash-map/hash-set/array-map/rand resolved to jolt-nil on the prelude
(the apply-jolt-nil crash bucket) — the pmap/pset ctors already existed in
collections.ss, just bind the public clojure.core names to them.
Map entries are now a distinct type: a pvec carries an ent flag (default #f),
so an entry equals its [k v] vector and walks like one (nth/count/seq/=/hash/
print read only v) but is not vector? and is map-entry? — matching Clojure's
MapEntry. seqing a map produces flagged entries; vector? excludes them. This
unblocks key/val (overlay fns gated on map-entry?) and the every? map-entry?
cases.
Prelude parity 1534 -> 1593, 0 new divergences. jolt-agw6.
Elide the redundant jolt-truthy? wrapper on an :if test that provably
yields a Scheme boolean (a native comparison/not, or a boolean const).
Sound because jolt-truthy? of #t/#f is identity. The hot fib/mandelbrot
tests are all comparisons, so this is a direct ceiling lever: fib(30)
end-to-end 24.0 -> 14.4 ms.
Add bench-pipeline.janet (JOLT_CHEZ_BENCH=1, opt-in) timing fib(30) +
mandelbrot(200) through the real pipeline vs the spike ceiling.
Mandelbrot 200 runs at 87 ms, at/below the 98 ms generic-flonum ceiling
- the substrate ceiling is reached end-to-end. fib sits at 2x its
hand-flonum ceiling; the residual is jolt's all-double number model
(typed fl*/fx* emission is Phase 4). Compile-only is total for the
compute subset (every form emits; Chez has no interpreter fallback).
Full parity unchanged at 1534/2494, 0 new divergences.
Janet's %j renders a non-ASCII char as raw UTF-8 bytes (\xC3\xA9) and a
control char / DEL as \xHH with no terminating semicolon — both forms
Chez's reader rejects (invalid character \ in string hex escape). Replace
the %j string encoder with chez-str-lit: UTF-8-decode each char and emit a
Chez codepoint escape \x<cp>;, keeping \n/\t/\r/\"/\\ and staying
byte-identical to %j for printable ASCII. Applied to every string-content
site (string/keyword/symbol/var-name/regex-source).
Unblocks the p{L} utf-8 corpus case; prelude parity floor 1532 -> 1534.
host/chez/dynamic-vars.ss binds the two seed-native dynamic vars that aren't
emitted into the prelude: *clojure-version* (the {:major 1 :minor 11 ...} map) and
*unchecked-math* (false). Removes their two run-corpus-prelude allowlist entries
(now 11, all passing).
*ns* is deferred to jolt-b4kl: it needs a namespace value that is not a map yet
answers (get ns :name) for the overlay ns-name, plus str/find-ns support.
Parity 1530 -> 1532/2497, 0 new divergences. emit-test 305/305.
host/chez/multimethods.ss implements the multimethod runtime: defmulti/defmethod
expand to defmulti-setup/defmethod-setup calls (+ get-method/methods/
remove-method/prefer-method/prefers). A jolt-multifn record carries its dispatch
fn and a jolt=-keyed method table; jolt-invoke dispatches it (exact match, then
isa?/hierarchy with prefer-method, then :default), reusing the overlay's
isa?/derive/make-hierarchy. The multifn's ns comes from a runtime chez-current-ns
(default user; the prelude load sets clojure.core for print-method/print-dup).
Two emit-side changes were needed:
- late-bind (:late-bind-unresolved? ctx flag, default OFF): defmulti expands to a
bare-symbol setup call, so the analyzer doesn't intern the name and a forward
reference '(area ...)' after '(defmulti area ...)' in one form was 'Unable to
resolve symbol'. The strict compiler punts these to the interpreter; the Chez
back end has none, so the flag lowers an unresolved symbol to a var-ref against
the compile ns (open-world -e semantics). Set only by the Chez make-ctx /
jolt-chez; the main compiler keeps strict resolution (host_iface late-bind?
defaults nil).
- a :var call head now routes through jolt-invoke, since a late-bound var can hold
a multifn (or keyword/coll IFn), not just a procedure. Transparent for
procedures; the hot self-recursive call is a :local known-proc, stays direct.
Class-based dispatch ((class x)/String) deferred (needs deftype/class subsystem).
Parity 1506 -> 1530/2497, 0 new divergences. emit-test 302/302. Full janet gate
green (the analyzer flag is off there; suite flakiness under parallel load only).
jolt-y1zq tail:
- 0-arg (conj) -> [] and 0-arg (conj!) -> a fresh transient vector
- nth sees through a transient (like get/count/contains?)
- irregex \p{...}/\P{...} property classes translate to the seed's ASCII char
classes (regex.ss): \p{L} -> [a-zA-Z] + non-ASCII codepoints (the seed counts
UTF-8 high bytes as letters), \p{N} -> [0-9], \p{Ps} -> [([{], etc. The
translator tracks [...] nesting so a \p{} inside a class emits its content, not
a nested class.
Two pre-existing bugs found and filed (tracked, not replicated):
- jolt-x0os: the Chez emitter mangles non-ASCII string literals into invalid Chez
hex escapes (so p{L} utf-8 crashes on the input string, not the regex).
- jolt-ea9k: the seed's transient assoc! accepts odd args and assigns nil to the
trailing key (non-Clojure; plain assoc throws). The Chez host throws
(Clojure-correct); the 4 spec rows encoding the leniency are flagged in
transients-spec.janet pending the seed fix.
Parity 1493 -> 1506/2497, 0 new divergences. emit-test 291/291.
The 1-arg map/filter/remove/take/drop/take-while/drop-while/mapcat now return a
transducer (fn [rf] rf'), and into gets a 3-arg (into to xform from). This was
the 'cdr () is not a pair' / 'incorrect number of arguments' crash bucket: the
emitter lowers (map f) and 3-arg into at an arity the native-op gate rejects, so
they fall to the value-position path and hit the bare jolt-map/jolt-into
procedure at the wrong arity. The fix is RT-side — case-lambda those procedures
plus jolt-into.
td-* factories ported from the seed (core_coll.janet); a reduced step stops the
fold via reduce-seq's existing short-circuit (inc 3n). transduce/comp/completing
are overlay and compose over these unchanged.
Parity 1467 -> 1493/2497, 0 new divergences. emit-test 278/278.
The dominant prelude-parity crash bucket was 'apply non-procedure jolt-nil':
core fns calling seed-native seq fns (core_coll.janet) that have no Chez RT
shim, so var-deref returns jolt-nil. A static scan of the assembled prelude
turned up 52 referenced-but-undefined clojure.core names.
host/chez/natives-seq.ss shims the safe seq fns over the existing seq layer:
mapcat, take-while, drop-while, partition (collection arities only — the 1-arg
transducer forms are jolt-kxsr), and sort (compare default; a comparator may
return a 3-way number or a boolean less-than). reduced/reduced? is a jolt-reduced
record in seq.ss that reduce short-circuits on and deref unwraps, so unreduced
works. identical? = jolt= (the seed's definition).
Deferred list?: a Chez lazy seq and a list are both cseq, so it can't be told
apart without a distinct list type — a real divergence risk.
Parity 1407 -> 1467/2497, 0 new divergences. emit-test 263/263.
##Inf/##-Inf/##NaN were emitted to bare inf/-inf/nan, which are unbound symbols in
Chez. emit-const now lowers them to +inf.0/-inf.0/+nan.0. The -e/element printer
renders them inf/-inf/nan (Chez's number->string gives +inf.0), and str renders the
long Clojure forms Infinity/-Infinity/NaN. assoc! is now variadic ((assoc! t k v
& kvs)) like Clojure.
Prelude parity 1382 -> 1407/2497, 0 new divergences. str of inf INSIDE a collection
still wants the long form (needs the Phase-2 recursive str renderer), so
[inf inside coll] is allowlisted. Transducer arities and the cdr-on-()/\p{} regex
gaps are split out to jolt-kxsr/jolt-y1zq.
transient/persistent!/conj!/assoc!/dissoc!/disj!/pop! as copy-on-write over the
persistent collections (host/chez/transients.ss) — each op rebuilds the persistent
coll (no in-place perf) but the semantics match, so into/frequencies/group-by work.
Adds persistent disj over pset-disj. get/count/contains? are redefined to see
through a transient (frequencies and group-by both do (get tm k) on a transient
map); vector? on a transient vector is false, which group-by relies on.
Prelude parity 1326 -> 1382/2497, 0 new divergences. emit-test exercises the direct
transient ops via run-prelude and the overlay users (frequencies/group-by/into)
end-to-end through the bin/jolt-chez -e binary.
str/subs/vec/keyword/symbol/compare/int/double/gensym — host-coupled seed natives
the overlay assumes, now def-var!'d into clojure.core via host/chez/converters.ss
(loaded last, str reuses jolt-pr-str). Semantics match the seed: str-render-one
for str (nil->"", bare chars, regex source), the 3-way core-compare port, int
truncates. The symbol no-ns sentinel is #f to match emit's quoted-symbol lowering
(jolt-symbol #f "x"), so (= 'x (symbol "x")) holds — jolt= compares ns with strict
equal?, and jolt-nil vs #f would otherwise diverge.
Prelude parity 1220 -> 1326/2497, 0 new divergences. Floor raised to 1326; three
newly-reached *ns*/var-rendering cases added to the allowlist (Phase 2). run-prelude
and the per-case program file are now PID-unique so concurrent chez runs don't read
each other's half-written files.
Emit every non-macro clojure.core form through the live analyzer -> Chez emit
pipeline as a def-var! prelude (prelude mode, tier dependency order), load it
before a user expression, and you get an -e-capable jolt-chez: analysis on Janet,
execution on Chez. driver/emit-core-prelude assembles it (each form behind a
silent load guard so the Phase-2 multimethod forms don't break the rest);
bin/jolt-chez is the -e CLI, caching the prelude on disk keyed by source hash.
run-corpus-prelude.janet is the full parity gate this opens, the prelude-backed
sibling of run-corpus-chez. First baseline: 1220/2497 evaluated cases pass, 0 new
divergences (10 allowlisted: dynamic vars, class names, eval-order — deferred
Phase 2). The rest is the punch-list: ~360 emit-fail (real host interop, out of
the analyzer subset) and ~900 runtime crashes, mostly core fns calling
host-coupled seed natives with no Chez shim yet (str/format/vec, transients).
Follow-ups jolt-t6cr/kl2l/q3w8/9ls5.
Two shims landed to get the prelude to load and run. atoms.ss: atom/deref/swap!/
reset! (+ the compare/vals kernel) — needed at load time for
global-hierarchy = (atom (make-hierarchy)). predicates.ss: the type predicates +
name/namespace/boolean the overlay assumes are seed natives, matching the seed's
strict semantics. post-prelude.ss re-asserts char?/atom? after the prelude: the
overlay implements those by reading :jolt/type, which is false for Chez-native
chars/atoms, so its def-var! would clobber the correct native versions.
Per-case Scheme files are PID-unique so a foreground -e never reads a half-written
file while the gate runs.
Closes the last clojure.core prelude emit gap (parse-uuid): the whole
non-macro core now lowers to Scheme (prelude reach 355/355).
A #"..." literal analyzes to a :regex IR node. The Chez back end emits
a jolt-regex value over irregex (Alex Shinn, BSD), vendored as the
vendor/irregex submodule -- a portable Scheme regex with PCRE/Java-style
string patterns and first-class Chez support. host/chez/regex.ss wraps
jolt's re-* surface over it: irregex-match -> re-matches (anchored),
irregex-search -> re-find, groups as Clojure [whole g1 ...] vectors,
re-seq as a jolt seq. re-pattern/re-matches/re-find/re-seq/regex? are
def-var!'d into clojure.core so prelude / -e code resolves them.
They stay OUT of the subset native-ops on purpose: irregex's
Unicode/property-class semantics differ from the seed's byte-PEG
approximation, so keeping them prelude-only avoids dragging
engine-difference divergences into the subset-parity corpus. The Janet
back end punts :regex to the interpreter (the seed compiles #"..." to a
Janet PEG), so the main language is unchanged.
Only two adaptations for Chez's top level: a cond-expand shim (Chez's is
library-only) and a normalizing error wrapper (silences irregex's 1-arg
error warnings). rt.ss load is ~0.18s.
emit-test 131/131 (regex literal + re-* parity vs the CLI oracle);
prelude reach 355/355; Chez subset 672/672, 0 divergences; full gate
green.
(.method target arg*) now analyzes to a :host-call IR node instead of
punting at analyze. The Chez back end lowers it to a jolt-host-call
dispatch for the methods the RT shims (.write -> port display,
.isDirectory -> file-directory?, .listFiles -> directory-list); any
other method stays out of subset (clean emit-time reject, so it can't
read as a compiled-but-broken corpus divergence). The Janet back end
punts ALL :host-call to the interpreter, same shape as letfn: compiles
on Chez, interprets on Janet, zero change to the main language.
Closes the io tier's print-method defmethods and file-seq: prelude emit
reach 348 -> 354/355 (50-io 20/20). The one remaining gap is the regex
literal in parse-uuid (needs a regex engine on Chez; deferred).
emit-test 122/122; Chez subset 672/672, 0 divergences; full gate green.
