Point the Chez-HOSTED analyzer at the full parity corpus (read -> analyze ->
emit -> eval, all on Chez, no Janet) and close the divergences so the
self-hosted compiler is faithful: 0 divergences, 2159/2494 pass.
Keystone: the on-Chez emitter ran with prelude-mode off, so every call to a
non-native clojure.core fn tripped the "unsupported stdlib fn" out-of-subset
guard. The zero-Janet spine always has the full prelude loaded, so turn
prelude mode on in compile-eval.ss (22% -> 84% pass on a sample).
Faithfulness fixes (each was the Chez host/reader diverging from the Janet
analyzer; fixed in the keeper, not the seed):
- emit-const read a char's codepoint via (get v :ch) — the Janet rep; on Chez a
char is native. Route through a new form-char-code host-contract fn (41 cases).
- next over a lazy seq returned the empty-list terminator (truthy), not nil, so
butlast and other (if (next s) ...) loops ran one step too far — broke
some->/some->>/cond->>.
- reader: radix literals (2r1010/16rFF/36rZ), #^ deprecated metadata, ^meta on
collections (lowers to a runtime with-meta form like the Janet reader),
map-literal source order (values eval left-to-right), and nested syntax-quote
over a literal collapses at read time.
- keyword "a/b" splits into ns/name like the seed (destructure {:keys [x/y]}).
- form-syntax-quote-lower implemented on Chez (was a throwing stub).
7 divergences allowlisted: the same print-method-multimethod / host-class set
the prelude gate defers. 328 crashes remain = shared runtime breadth (host
interop, missing core fns, eval/load-string) deferred to Phase 4 / jolt-r8ku,
not compiler faithfulness.
Gate + speedup: test/chez/run-corpus-zero-janet.janet (floor 2159). Its batched
runner (driver/eval-corpus-zero-janet) runs every case in ONE chez process —
load the runtime once, guard + reset the user namespace per case — instead of a
fresh process per case: 1379s -> 1.6s.
spine-test 35/35; Janet gate 151/0; prelude parity 2295/2494 unchanged, 0 new
divergences.
