Yogthos 21895cb932 Class-name symbols self-evaluate; extends? matches host classes; ISO_INSTANT 
A slash-free dotted symbol with a Capitalized final segment (java.util.Map,
clojure.lang.Named, java.time.Instant) now self-evaluates to its name string
instead of resolving to nil — jolt models a class as its name, so a library
can extend a protocol to, or instance?-check, a host class jolt has no shim
for. hc-resolve-global classifies these as :class; the analyzer emits a const.

extends? now matches when either the query or the registered tag is a dotted
suffix of the other, so (extends? P java.util.Collection) finds the impl
extend registered under the canonical short tag.

Add DateTimeFormatter/ISO_INSTANT (UTC, trailing Z).

These unblock loading clojure.data.json, which dispatches JSONWriter on
java.util.Map/Collection/CharSequence/Instant and defaults a formatter to
ISO_INSTANT.

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.
