Yogthos 3d80bdc10b Fix general gaps the hiccup suite shook out 
Six correctness fixes, each a general gap (not hiccup-specific):

- deftype is not a map. jolt treated every deftype instance as a map
  (map?/record?/seqable over its fields); in Clojure only a defrecord is
  map-like, a bare deftype is an opaque object. defrecord now marks its type;
  map?/record?/coll?/seq/empty? gate on it, while a deftype implementing a
  collection interface still dispatches through its methods.

- cross-ns extend-protocol on an imported deftype. register-method built the
  type tag from the *calling* ns + bare name, so (extend-protocol P Raw …) in
  one ns missed a Raw value defined in another. A simple-name index resolves
  the bare name to the type's real tag (local ns still wins).

- str vs print. str of a collection is its readable form (nested strings
  quoted: (str ["x"]) => ["x"]); print leaves them raw. jolt defined print
  as str, conflating the two. Split via a __print1 seam.

- clojure.test thrown? now honors the exception hierarchy (instance?), so
  (thrown? IllegalArgumentException …) matches an ArityException subclass.

- java.net.URI is value-equal (= and hash by string form).

- clojure.walk/macroexpand-all was missing; an unresolved qualified var made
  the analyzer report "Unknown class walk".

deftype/defrecord + print are seed sources, re-minted. hiccup 365->381 of its
own suite; the rest are charset-encoding / var-meta niches.

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.
