Yogthos 09a9ad8c75 Add bigdec min/max (review follow-up) 
Review found (< 1M 2M) worked but (min 1M 2M) threw — incoherent. Wire min/max
the same way as the other ops: value-position jolt-min/jolt-max shims (new in
seq.ss, added to core-value-procs) and call-position via bd-spec/bd-ops ->
jbd-min/jbd-max.

min/max return the original operand by value, not a coerced copy, matching
Clojure: (min 1M 2.0) -> 1M, (max 1M 2.0) -> 2.0, (min 1.50M 2M) -> 1.50M; a tie
keeps the second operand ((max 1.5M 1.50M) -> 1.50M). bigdec mixed with a flonum
in call position stays in the documented :any/contagion gap (value position
handles it). Re-mint; 6 more JVM-certified rows.

Chez bootstrap seed

These two files are the bootstrap compiler for jolt — the seed that makes the build self-hosting:

  • prelude.ss — the clojure.core prelude (all tiers + clojure.string/walk/ template/edn/set/pprint) as Scheme def-var! forms.
  • image.ss — the compiler image (jolt.ir + jolt.analyzer + jolt.backend-scheme) as Scheme def-var! forms.

Both are generated, not hand-written. They are checked in because a fresh checkout must be able to build jolt-on-Chez using only Chez: host/chez/bootstrap.ss loads this seed, then rebuilds the prelude + image from the .clj/.ss sources via the on-Chez compiler (read → analyze → emit, all on Chez). The seed is a joint byte-fixpoint: rebuilding from an up-to-date seed reproduces it exactly. make selfhost (host/chez/selfcheck.sh) runs host/chez/bootstrap.ss and diffs the rebuilt artifacts against the checked-in seed.

Re-minting

When the seed sources change (the core tiers, the compiler namespaces, the host contract, the reader, emit-image.ss), the seed drifts and make selfhost fails. Re-mint it by running host/chez/bootstrap.ss and writing the freshly rebuilt prelude/image back to host/chez/seed/prelude.ss / host/chez/seed/image.ss, then commit the refreshed files.
