Yogthos 448611a5df Match Clojure's lazy seq realization model 
jolt's seq layer realized one element ahead of Clojure, so a side-effecting
lazy seq ran its producer too eagerly. Four changes bring it in line:

- rest is Clojure's more(): it returns the tail without realizing it. An
  unforced tail (vector / string / lazy-seq cell) comes back as a deferred
  seq, so (rest (iterate f x)) does not call f. next still realizes one.
- iterate applies f lazily, inside the tail thunk, so (first (iterate f x))
  is x with no call to f (clojure.lang.Iterate parity).
- take realizes exactly n: the last element terminates without touching the
  rest, instead of forcing one more element of the source.
- an empty realized lazy seq is still a sequence value, printing "()" not
  "nil" (a JVM LazySeq is never nil).

Also: the map transducer's step fn now takes multiple inputs
([result input & inputs]) so a multi-collection transduce applies f across
all of them. Fixes medley's join/window/sequence-padded laziness and
multi-input transducer tests (now 293/293). The rest change also fixed a
latent overrun in distinct/dedupe over a map's empty tail.

iterate is a seed source, re-minted.

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.
