Yogthos 2de0543613 More library-compat fixes from porting the examples (markdown, malli) 
Reader / loader:
- #?@ splicing reader conditionals now actually splice the matched collection's
  items into the enclosing sequence; the splice flag was read but ignored, so a
  binding vector like [a #?@(:clj [b (.foo b)])] lost its alignment.
- the file loader reads by position and skips a top-level form that reads as
  nothing (a :cljs-only #?, a #_ discard, a trailing comment) instead of
  treating it as EOF — which silently dropped the rest of a large .cljc file.
- jolt's reader feature set now includes :clj (was {:jolt :default}). jolt is a
  Clojure/JVM-compatible host that emulates clojure.lang.* and java.* interop,
  so it reads the :clj branch of a .cljc library, not :cljs. This also lets four
  more reader-conditional corpus cases pass (floor 2726 -> 2730).

Backend:
- munge-name escapes ' (prime) -> _PRIME_; a Clojure symbol like f' otherwise
  emitted a bare ' into Scheme, which is the quote reader macro and unbalanced
  the output.

Host shims:
- clojure.java.io/writer (pass through a StringWriter, file-back a path) and a
  readLine on the string reader, so line-seq over (io/reader …) works (markdown).

A better "unsupported destructuring pattern: <pat>" error message.

Chez bootstrap seed

These two files are the bootstrap compiler for jolt-on-Chez — the seed that makes the build self-hosting with no Janet in the loop:

  • 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.
