jolt.host/record-ctor-key and record-type? were stubs returning nil since the
rehost, so phint-of always produced nil — a ^Record param hint (^Sphere s) was
silently dead. The inference only ever typed a record param when its callers
passed a concrete ctor (whole-program), so a fn called with an untyped value (a
vector element, a value threaded through recursion) read its fields generically.
Resolve the tag against the record registry (records.ss): chez-find-ctor-key maps
a ^Type tag to the ctor-key "ns/->Name" the inference seeds with, preferring the
compile ns and falling back to any registered record of that simple name (cross-ns
/ imported). record-type? / record-ctor-key call it. Runtime .ss — no re-mint (the
analyzer reaches record-ctor-key through the host var).
With this, a ^Sphere/^Ray-hinted hit-sphere in the ray tracer types its params, so
its 48 generic jolt-get field reads + boxed arithmetic become bare-index reads +
fl-ops: ray tracer 38.4s -> 23.9s (~1.6x), make test / shakesmoke green, selfhost
holds, 0 new divergences. A wrong hint stays safe — jrec-field-at falls back to
jolt-get for a non-record.
run-fieldnum.ss: a ^V-hinted param (no inferable caller) bare-indexes + unboxes,
with no generic jolt-get left.
