Yogthos 522ff10d62 spec.alpha: reify ILookup get, NPE/CCE, quoted #inst/#uuid, anon-fn class, kwargs map 
Close clojure.spec.alpha's remaining gaps — its conform/explain/describe/multi-spec
suite (clojure.test-clojure.spec, multi-spec) now passes fully.

- (get reify k) / (:k reify) routes to a reify's clojure.lang.ILookup valAt. spec
  reifies fspec/regex specs as ILookup and reads (:args spec) off them, so before
  this instrument never saw the args spec.
- A failed numeric comparison reports the JVM class: a nil operand is
  NullPointerException, a non-number is ClassCastException (was an opaque :object
  condition). conform-explain checks the thrown class.
- A quoted / macro-form #inst / #uuid literal constructs its Date/UUID value, like
  the JVM reader (which builds it at read time). emit-quoted was emitting the raw
  tagged form, so #inst "1939" and #inst "1939-01-01T00:00:00.000-00:00" weren't =.
- An anonymous fn reports class clojure.lang.AFunction$fn (the $fn marker), so
  spec's fn-sym returns ::s/unknown for it, matching the JVM's ns$fn__N.
- A fn with & {:as m} kwargs accepts a trailing map (Clojure 1.11): (f :a 1 {:b 2})
  and (f {:a 1}) both bind m, by merging an odd trailing map over the pairs.
- A thread responds to .getStackTrace (empty — jolt does TCO).

clojure.test-clojure.instr does not fully pass: its ::caller assertions need the
calling fn's stack frame, which TCO erases (an inherent host divergence, like the
JVM keeping tail frames).

make test green (+4 corpus rows, 0 new divergences), shakesmoke byte-identical.
Re-mint (backend emit-quoted + the destructure macro).

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.
