Emit a :quote node by reconstructing the raw reader form as RT constructor calls: symbol -> jolt-symbol, list (array) -> jolt-list, vector (tuple) -> jolt-vector, map -> jolt-hash-map, set -> jolt-hash-set, scalars via emit-const. The runtime value of a quote is just that literal data (the interpreter returns the reader form verbatim). Quote exposed a latent seq.ss bug: empty map/filter results were jolt-nil, but Clojure's (map f []) is an empty seq, so (= () (map f [])) must be true. Return jolt-empty-list (which seqs back to nil, so it's still a valid lazy-tail terminator) instead — matching jolt-take/drop/rest/list. Prelude emit reach 334 -> 342/355. Subset probe 632 -> 664/664 compiled, 0 divergences (quote + the seq fix pull 32 corpus cases into the subset). emit-test 110/110 (added 16 quote cases). corpus.edn regenerated (the 3 malformed-catch spec rows). Full gate green.

# Chez port — Phase 0 test contract harness
|
|
|
|
The host-neutral correctness gate for the Chez re-host (epic jolt-cf1q). The
|
|
spec corpus is data, so the SAME contract validates every host.
|
|
|
|
## Files
|
|
- `extract-corpus.janet` — parses `test/spec/*.janet` `(defspec …)` tables as
|
|
data and writes `corpus.edn` (2655 `[label expected actual]` cases). The file
|
|
is valid as BOTH EDN (a future Chez-jolt runner) and Janet data (the runner
|
|
below). Regenerate: `janet test/chez/extract-corpus.janet`.
|
|
- `corpus.edn` — the extracted contract (generated; checked in for convenience).
|
|
- `run-corpus.janet` — drives a TARGET jolt binary, one fresh subprocess per case
|
|
(fresh ctx = per-case isolation), checking `(= expected actual)` prints `true`
|
|
at the CLI, or that a `:throws` case exits non-zero. Pluggable target:
|
|
- `janet test/chez/run-corpus.janet` # default build/jolt
|
|
- `JOLT_BIN=build/jolt-chez janet test/chez/run-corpus.janet` # Phase 1+
|
|
- `JOLT_CORPUS_LIMIT=400 …` # every-Nth stride, fast
|
|
- `known-divergences.edn` — allowlist of cases that diverge at the CLI boundary.
|
|
The gate fails only on a NEW divergence; known ones are reported but tolerated.
|
|
- `values-test.ss` / `../../host/chez/values.ss` — Phase 0a value model + tests.
|
|
|
|
## The reference baseline (2026-06-17, Janet `build/jolt`, compile mode)
|
|
2641/2655 pass; 14 known divergences. They split into:
|
|
- **interpret-vs-compile leniency** — `:throws` cases where interpret mode raises
|
|
but compile mode returns (`< nil`, `> with nil`, `neg? keyword`, `max`/`min-key`
|
|
on non-numbers). Several are also non-canonical vs JVM Clojure.
|
|
- **invoke-collection-as-fn** — the `transient / invokable lookup` suite invokes
|
|
transients/collections as fns (`((transient {:x 7}) :x)`); compile mode (and
|
|
JVM Clojure) reject it.
|
|
- **`xml-seq walks`** — one structural case.
|
|
|
|
The compile-only Chez host (JVM-canonical oracle) should MATCH OR FIX these. The
|
|
gate's job is to catch *regressions* the port introduces, not to bless these.
|
|
|
|
## Why the CLI boundary
|
|
The runner tests through `jolt -e`, exactly how the Chez host will be exercised —
|
|
not the in-process `eval-string` the Janet `defspec` harness uses. The two differ
|
|
on a handful of cases (the allowlist), and the CLI boundary is the portable one.
|
|
|
|
## Phase 1 — first parity number (subset probe)
|
|
The full `run-corpus.janet` gate drives an `-e`-capable jolt binary; the Chez
|
|
host can't answer arbitrary `-e` until all of clojure.core is bootstrapped onto
|
|
Chez (Phase 2). Until then, `run-corpus-chez.janet` reports parity for the subset
|
|
the Phase-1 back end (`host/chez/emit.janet`) can already compile: each case is
|
|
run through the live analyzer → Scheme emitter → Chez via `host/chez/driver`.
|
|
Cases that reference unimplemented stdlib/host fns fail to EMIT (a clean
|
|
compile-time signal) and are counted "out of subset", not as divergences.
|
|
|
|
JOLT_CHEZ_CORPUS=1 janet test/chez/run-corpus-chez.janet
|
|
|
|
Baseline after inc 3f (quoted literals): **664/664 compiled cases pass**, 0
|
|
divergences; 1994/2658 out of subset (await clojure.core on Chez). Inc 3e
|
|
(throw/try + ex-info) was 632/632; inc 3f's quote support + a seq.ss fix (empty
|
|
`map`/`filter` results are `()` not nil, matching Clojure) pulled 32 more corpus
|
|
cases into the subset. `emit-fn` lowers multi-arity fns to a Scheme `case-lambda`
|
|
and variadic fns to a rest-arg lambda (rest list coerced to a jolt seq, nil when
|
|
empty).
|
|
|
|
## Phase 1 — clojure.core prelude emission (inc 3d, jolt-ocvi)
|
|
The `-e`-capable jolt-chez path: emit the clojure.core tiers
|
|
(`jolt-core/clojure/core/NN-*.clj`) through the same analyzer → emit pipeline as a
|
|
Scheme PRELUDE of `def-var!` forms, so user code's `(var-deref "clojure.core" …)`
|
|
resolves the fn at runtime. `emit/set-prelude-mode!` flips a switch: in the default
|
|
(subset) mode a non-native `clojure.core` ref is rejected ("out of subset"); in
|
|
prelude mode it lowers to a runtime `var-deref` so core fns chain through each
|
|
other. Host interop (`:host`) and unhandled IR ops still error in both modes —
|
|
those are the real gaps that need a hand-written RT shim or new emit support.
|
|
|
|
`core-prelude-probe.janet` (gated behind `JOLT_CHEZ_PRELUDE=1`) measures reach and
|
|
catalogs the gaps; macros are skipped (analyze-time only, not a runtime value):
|
|
|
|
JOLT_CHEZ_PRELUDE=1 janet test/chez/core-prelude-probe.janet
|
|
|
|
Baseline after inc 3f (quoted literals): **342/355 non-macro core forms emit** to
|
|
Scheme (was 334 at inc 3e, 303 at inc 3d). A `:quote` node reconstructs the raw
|
|
reader form as RT constructor calls — symbol → `jolt-symbol`, list → `jolt-list`,
|
|
vector → `jolt-vector`, map/set → `jolt-hash-map`/`jolt-hash-set`, scalars via
|
|
`emit-const`. Prior: `:throw` → `jolt-throw` (Scheme `raise` of the raw jolt
|
|
value); `:try` → `guard` (catch, class dropped → catch-all) + `dynamic-wind`
|
|
(finally); `ex-info` native-op building the tagged jolt map, so the tier
|
|
ex-data/ex-message/ex-cause read it over `get` for free. Remaining 13 gaps: Java
|
|
host interop `.write`/`.isDirectory` (6, io tier), `letfn` (4), `declare`/
|
|
def-no-init (2), one edge (`parse-uuid`). The probe has a regression floor.
|
|
|
|
Prior, inc 3b (seq tier + dynamic IFn, jolt-5pso): 595/595 compiled, 0 divergences,
|
|
2060/2655 out of subset. The seq tier brought up a list/lazy-seq type with
|
|
first/rest/next/seq/cons/list, map/filter/reduce/into/remove,
|
|
range/take/drop/concat/apply, keys/vals, and nth/peek/pop over seqs; dynamic IFn
|
|
dispatch (a keyword/vector/coll held in a local and called as a fn) routes through
|
|
the `jolt-invoke` fallback, closing the 3 ex-known divergences. The probe exits
|
|
non-zero on any NEW divergence.
|
|
|
|
(Prior, inc 3a: 433/436 compiled, 3 known IFn divergences, 2219 out of subset.
|
|
Inc 2: 182/182 compiled, 0 divergences, 2473 out of subset.)
|
|
|
|
It's a slow report (a Chez subprocess per case), so it's gated behind
|
|
`JOLT_CHEZ_CORPUS` out of the default suite, like the benches.
|
|
`test/chez/emit-test.janet` is the fast Phase-1 unit gate (real analyzer → Chez
|
|
parity for fib/mandelbrot + collections + regressions); both skip cleanly when
|
|
`chez` isn't on PATH.
