Yogthos f5455115a0 deftype/record: clojure.lang collection interfaces + protocol identity 
Running clojure.core.match (a macro-heavy library that builds its compiler out
of deftypes implementing clojure.lang interfaces) shook out a cluster of general
gaps. Its own suite goes from not-loading to 111/115 assertions.

- deftype/defrecord implementing a clojure.lang collection interface now drives
  the core fns: Indexed -> nth, Counted -> count, Associative -> assoc, ILookup
  -> get/valAt (non-field keys only, so a method's own field bindings don't
  recurse), ISeq -> seq/first/rest, IPersistentCollection -> conj, IFn -> the
  value is callable. A jrec is still a map of fields by default; the interface
  method wins when declared.

- Multi-arity inline methods are grouped into one fn (a type with (nth [_ i]) and
  (nth [_ i x]) kept only the last before). Built as data, not a nested
  syntax-quote, so a `(= ~ocr ~l) method body keeps its unquotes.

- instance?/satisfies? recognize a protocol a type implements, including a MARKER
  protocol with no methods (core.match's IPseudoPattern) — deftype/defrecord now
  record protocol satisfaction even with zero methods. Added ILookup/Indexed/
  Counted to the instance? taxonomy for the built-in collections.

- Syntax-quote: a fully-qualified class name (clojure.lang.ILookup) stays bare
  instead of being namespace-qualified; (unquote x) is detected in a lazy seq
  (a macro that builds its template with map, e.g. deftype's rewrite-set).

- clojure.set union/intersection/difference are variadic (& sets) + union 0-arity.
- java map view methods: keySet/values/entrySet/size/isEmpty.
- deprecated java.util.Date getters (getYear/getMonth/...) + the multi-arg
  (Date. year-1900 month0 date hrs min) constructor.

Seed change (deftype/defrecord macros + clojure.set) -> re-minted; the rest are
runtime. 11 JVM-certified corpus rows; make test + shakesmoke green.

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.
