Yogthos 7c4f9bb974 Compile capturing regexes with the backtracking matcher
irregex builds a POSIX leftmost-longest DFA for a pattern when it can, and jolt
used it for everything. For a pattern with an alternation whose branches have
capturing groups, that DFA leaks a non-participating branch's group: e.g.
#"(?:([0-9])|([0-9])r([0-9]+))" on "2r11" left group 1 = "2" instead of nil, so
tools.reader (rewrite-clj's dep) misread 2r1100 as 2 and 16rFF as 16.

java.util.regex is itself a leftmost-first backtracking engine, so compile a
capturing pattern with irregex's backtracking matcher ('backtrack): its submatch
semantics match the JVM and it clears a losing branch's group. Non-capturing
patterns keep the DFA — with no groups to read, its whole-match result is all a
caller sees, and it avoids backtracking's worst case. The submatch count comes
from a first cheap compile; a capturing pattern recompiles once and caches.

This clears the last rewrite-clj parser-test failure (now 772/0/0). Corpus rows
for the alternation-group case and the radix read. make test green.

Chez test harness

The correctness gate for jolt. Pure Chez (+ Clojure for the JVM oracle). Correctness is judged against the JVM-sourced conformance spec; the spec itself lives in test/conformance/ (see its SPEC.md). Run the whole gate with make test from the repo root.

The spec corpus

corpus.edn is the contract: ~2920 rows {:suite :label :expected :actual}, with :expected sourced from reference JVM Clojure by test/conformance/regen-corpus.clj. It is frozen (the canonical source) — add or change cases here, then re-source the answers with regen-corpus.clj and re-certify with test/conformance/certify.clj.

The gate runners (host/chez/)

  • run-corpus.ss — runs every corpus case through the spine (read → analyze → IR → emit → eval, all on Chez), comparing each result by value-equality against the JVM :expected. A known-fail allowlist covers cases jolt can't match because Chez has no JVM host (Java classes, arrays, BigDecimal, opaque host-object printers, …); the gate fails only on a NEW divergence or if the pass count drops below the floor.

    chez --script host/chez/run-corpus.ss
    JOLT_CORPUS_LIMIT=200 …            # every-Nth stride, fast iteration
    JOLT_CHEZ_ZJ_FLOOR=N …            # override the floor (default 2678)
    
  • run-unit.ss — host-specific unit cases (test/chez/unit.edn) that aren't in the JVM-portable corpus: dot-forms, java statics, io, reader, walk, vars/namespaces, refs. Each :expr is evaluated in-process and its printed value compared to a baked :expected (:throws asserts a raise).

  • selfcheck.sh — self-host fixpoint: bootstrap.ss rebuild byte-equals the checked-in seed (host/chez/seed/).

  • smoke.sh — real bin/joltc -e CLI smoke.

Other Chez tests

  • values-test.ss — the value model (nil/truthiness/collections). make values.
  • bench-chez.ss — compute bench through the pipeline (opt-in; not in the gate).

All runners assume chez on PATH.
