Yogthos 14547bd1d5 JVM-semantics fixes and small cleanups 
- take-last / drop-last return seqs, not vectors: take-last wraps in seq; drop-last
  is the JVM (map (fn [x _] x) coll (drop n coll)) form (lazy, () when empty).
- cycle is lazy ((lazy-seq (concat coll (cycle coll)))) so it no longer counts its
  argument and terminates on a lazy/infinite input.
- fold's foldable-call catch uses :default, matching the rest of jolt-core and
  also catching a raw host condition from a folding primitive.
- alts! rejects non-channel ports with a clear error (put specs / :default are
  unsupported) instead of crashing inside ac-poll!.
- Misc: drop the unreachable second getCause clause; jolt-nth on a string raises
  'nth "index out of bounds" like the vector branch; name the inline fixpoint cap;
  bld-sh-capture rejoins lines with newlines; clarify a couple of comments.

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.
