Yogthos 5d0989a860 delay exception memoization, deftype cross-protocol method merge, more map-like dispatch 
Further clojure.core.cache fixes (198 -> 257 of its assertions):

- delay: a throwing body re-ran on every force and never became realized?. Run it
  once like Clojure's Delay — cache the exception, mark realized, re-throw the same
  on each deref. Fixes value-fn memoization / cache-stampede protection.
- deftype/defrecord: a method name appearing in two protocols with different
  arities (data.priority-map's seq is in IPersistentMap [this] AND Sorted
  [this asc]) registered per-protocol and shadowed; merge clauses by name across
  all protocols into one multi-arity fn.
- empty?/peek/pop (IPersistentStack) dispatch through a deftype's methods; (= a-
  deftype other) uses its equiv method (so caches compare to their backing map);
  seq handles a host iterator (iterator-seq over .iterator).
- pop of an empty PersistentQueue returns it, like the JVM (was an error).

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.
