jolt no longer satisfies :clj in reader conditionals. The shortcut was a
measured net liability: :clj branches carry JVM interop and JVM-specific
test expectations jolt fails, and they shadowed :default branches jolt
passes. A/B over the suite: clj,default = 4967 assertions / 4324 pass / 119
errors; jolt,default = 5069 / 4470 / 81 (+146 pass, -38 errors, +8 clean
files). Baselines raised to 4470/86.
Matching is now by CLAUSE order like Clojure — the first clause whose key is
in the feature set wins (#?(:default 5 :clj 6) is 5 everywhere); the old code
scanned for :clj first, then :default, regardless of position.
Foreign clj-targeted libraries are a property of the LOADING CONTEXT, not the
platform: reader-features-set! opts a load into a compatibility set, and the
SCI bootstrap/runtime tests load SCI under ["jolt" "clj" "default"] (its
.cljc selects implementations via :clj with no :jolt branches).
JOLT_FEATURES remains the process-wide override.
RFC 0002 records the decision with the measured data; spec 02-reader S18 is
now normative (clause order, documented feature set, per-context override).
Reader tests updated to the portable set + an opt-in round-trip.
