Yogthos c9316dd372 Chez Phase 0a+0b: value model + host-neutral contract gate 
0a (host/chez/values.ss): Jolt value model on Chez — nil sentinel distinct from
#f/'(), interned keywords, ns+meta symbols, exactness-aware = and consistent
hash. Chez numeric tower gives ratios/bignums free. 33/33 tests.

0b (test/chez/): extract test/spec/*.janet defspec tables into corpus.edn (2655
cases, valid as both EDN and Janet data), and a runner that drives ANY jolt
binary via the CLI boundary with per-case subprocess isolation. Pluggable target
(JOLT_BIN) so the same corpus gates every host. Baseline vs Janet build/jolt:
2641/2655, 14 known CLI divergences allowlisted; gate fails only on NEW ones.

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.
