Yogthos 45876998ad Docs: Chez-only, drop the Janet-era references and obsolete migration notes 
Bring the docs in line with the actual implementation now that Chez is the sole
substrate.

Deleted the migration/spike/handoff artifacts that only documented the Janet
era or the port effort: the port plan, phase-0 and foundational-runtime spike
writeups (+ the stray root-level copy), the self-hosting design notes, the
architecture-refactor plan, and spike/chez/RESULTS.md.

Rewrote the current reference docs against the Chez facts: building-and-deps and
tools-deps (no jpm/build step — bin/joltc off the checked-in seed, deps via
jolt.deps into ~/.jolt/gitlibs), libraries (SQLite is built-in jdbc.core over
libsqlite3, not a Janet driver), the conformance/spec test-flow docs (the Chez
corpus runner + certify, no .janet harnesses), and the transient / type-hint /
seed-overlay design notes (Chez representations: mutable transients, flat
copy-on-write vectors, HAMT maps, the seed/overlay twin). Fixed the README
collections line (vectors aren't 32-way tries) and added the ffi/transient gate
targets. rfc 0001's numerics open-question is resolved (the Scheme tower).

Renamed the built-in HTTP adapter to jolt.http.server only (dropped the
ring-janet.adapter alias — a Janet-era name).

Chez test harness

The correctness gate for jolt. Pure Chez (+ Clojure for the JVM oracle). Correctness is judged against the JVM-sourced conformance spec; the spec itself lives in test/conformance/ (see its SPEC.md). Run the whole gate with make test from the repo root.

The spec corpus

corpus.edn is the contract: ~2920 rows {:suite :label :expected :actual}, with :expected sourced from reference JVM Clojure by test/conformance/regen-corpus.clj. It is frozen (the canonical source) — add or change cases here, then re-source the answers with regen-corpus.clj and re-certify with test/conformance/certify.clj.

The gate runners (host/chez/)

  • run-corpus.ss — runs every corpus case through the spine (read → analyze → IR → emit → eval, all on Chez), comparing each result by value-equality against the JVM :expected. A known-fail allowlist covers cases jolt can't match because Chez has no JVM host (Java classes, arrays, BigDecimal, opaque host-object printers, …); the gate fails only on a NEW divergence or if the pass count drops below the floor.

    chez --script host/chez/run-corpus.ss
JOLT_CORPUS_LIMIT=200 …            # every-Nth stride, fast iteration
JOLT_CHEZ_ZJ_FLOOR=N …            # override the floor (default 2678)

  • run-unit.ss — host-specific unit cases (test/chez/unit.edn) that aren't in the JVM-portable corpus: dot-forms, java statics, io, reader, walk, vars/namespaces, refs. Each :expr is evaluated in-process and its printed value compared to a baked :expected (:throws asserts a raise).

  • selfcheck.sh — self-host fixpoint: bootstrap.ss rebuild byte-equals the checked-in seed (host/chez/seed/).

  • smoke.sh — real bin/joltc -e CLI smoke.

Other Chez tests

  • values-test.ss — the value model (nil/truthiness/collections). make values.
  • bench-chez.ss — compute bench through the pipeline (opt-in; not in the gate).

All runners assume chez on PATH.
