Audited all 43 realize-for-iteration call sites. Result: every? was the one
transformer-style leak — it realized the whole coll before iterating, so
(every? pos? (range)) hung instead of short-circuiting on the first false
(Clojure short-circuits). Now walks lazy input cell-by-cell via realize-ls and
stops at the first false; not-every? inherits the fix.
Everything else is a legitimate realization boundary (reverse/sort/into/vec/set/
list/str-join/doall/apply/transient/to-array/hash-*/shuffle/rand-nth — must see
all elements) or forces only finite/concrete input (drop-while's eager branch,
cycle's seed, nth's concrete branch). some is already lazy (overlay). realized?
reads the :realized flag without forcing. first/nth/take pull only as far as
needed.
Regression: deadlined (every?/not-every? pos? (range)) cases — would hang if the
leak returned.
Gate: conformance 249x3, lazy-infinite 42/42, fixpoint, self-host, specs+unit green.
