Bring the docs in line with the actual implementation now that Chez is the sole
substrate.
Deleted the migration/spike/handoff artifacts that only documented the Janet
era or the port effort: the port plan, phase-0 and foundational-runtime spike
writeups (+ the stray root-level copy), the self-hosting design notes, the
architecture-refactor plan, and spike/chez/RESULTS.md.
Rewrote the current reference docs against the Chez facts: building-and-deps and
tools-deps (no jpm/build step — bin/joltc off the checked-in seed, deps via
jolt.deps into ~/.jolt/gitlibs), libraries (SQLite is built-in jdbc.core over
libsqlite3, not a Janet driver), the conformance/spec test-flow docs (the Chez
corpus runner + certify, no .janet harnesses), and the transient / type-hint /
seed-overlay design notes (Chez representations: mutable transients, flat
copy-on-write vectors, HAMT maps, the seed/overlay twin). Fixed the README
collections line (vectors aren't 32-way tries) and added the ffi/transient gate
targets. rfc 0001's numerics open-question is resolved (the Scheme tower).
Renamed the built-in HTTP adapter to jolt.http.server only (dropped the
ring-janet.adapter alias — a Janet-era name).
Two thread-safety bugs in the native FFI layer.
The HTTP server's accept/recv/send were plain foreign-procedures. A thread
inside a foreign call stays active for the stop-the-world collector, so the
accept loop sitting idle in accept() froze GC for the whole process whenever
another thread (a future, an async block) allocated. Mark the three blocking
calls __collect_safe so the thread deactivates for the call's duration —
collection proceeds while the accept thread waits. The args are an fd and
foreign-alloc'd buffers (outside the Scheme heap), so a collection mid-call has
nothing to move.
jolt.http-client built its -D header-file path from an unguarded (set! counter
(+ counter 1)) and counter mod 90000, with no per-process component. Concurrent
requests could compute the same path and clobber each other's headers. Use a
mutex-guarded monotonic counter plus the pid.
test/chez/ffi-server-test.ss exercises both (a (collect) while the server is
idle in accept(), temp-path uniqueness across threads, and a live request) and
is wired into the gate as `make ffi`.
sqlite.ss: jolt.sqlite + jdbc.core (jolt-lang/db's API) over the system
libsqlite3 — open/close, exec, a prepared query returning row maps, text/int/
double parameter binding, last_insert_rowid. The sqlite3 C API is non-variadic
so it binds directly.
http-server.ss: a minimal HTTP/1.1 server over BSD sockets (socket/bind/listen/
accept/recv/send via FFI), one connection at a time on a background accept
thread, synchronous Ring handlers. Parses the request line + headers + a
Content-Length body into a Ring request map (:body a StringReader), formats a
Ring response map back. Exposed as jolt.http.server and, for the example, as
ring-janet.adapter/run-server. macOS and Linux socket-option constants handled.
