Persistent vector as a 32-way trie (#225)
The persistent vector was a flat Scheme vector with copy-on-write: every conj
copied the whole backing array, so building an n-element vector was O(n^2). On the
collections bench that's vec-sum building 7500 elements with 227MB of copies, 90%
of the bench's allocation.

Replace it with Clojure's PersistentVector — a 32-way trie plus a trailing tail
chunk. conj appends to the tail and, when it fills, path-copies it into the trie,
so conj is O(1) amortized and a linear build is O(n). nth/assoc/pop are
O(log32 n). make-pvec (build a trie from a flat vector) and pvec-v (materialize
back) stay as compatibility shims, so the ~14 callers that read the backing array
— all one-shot conversions in =, hash, seq, meta-copy, transients, the reader —
are untouched; only this file's internals change.

vec-sum 70ms/227MB -> 1ms/3MB; collections 10.4x -> 4.0x vs JVM, under the 5x
target. 5 new corpus rows plus boundary stress (level transitions at 32 and 1024,
pop-collapse, assoc at every index) cover the trie.

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.
