Yogthos 4fdc9f165e Thread an immutable env through the type-inference walk 
types.clj drove inference through ~14 module-level atoms; the infer walk was
non-reentrant and depended on hidden set-*! install order. Thread one immutable
env (mk-env) through infer instead: it snapshots the installed config
(rtenv/vtypes/record-shapes/protocol-methods/map-shapes?) and carries the
per-run flags and accumulator/guard cells (diags/calls/checking-set/diag-memo).
A fresh env per run makes the pass re-entrant — isolated-diag-count's probe now
runs under a sub-env with its own diags cell instead of save/restoring a shared
atom.

Only state whose lifecycle spans separate API calls stays module-level: a
config-box the set-*! API writes, the escapes/user-sig sweep registries, and a
bridge holding the last checking run's diags for take-diags!. record-type-from-
entry/field-type-from-tag now take the shapes map directly rather than reading a
global.

jolt-ogib.10. Behavior pinned by the new infer gate (23 cases) plus selfhost +
buildsmoke. Re-minted seed.

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.
