Yogthos 8ffc2f68c5 Fix general divergences surfaced by clojure-test-suite 
Five fixes shaken out by running jank-lang/clojure-test-suite:

- = short-circuits on identity like Util.equiv's k1 == k2, so (= s s) on an
  infinite lazy seq answers true instead of walking forever. Numbers keep the
  exactness-aware arm ((= ##NaN ##NaN) stays false like the JVM's).
- Calling a non-fn names the operator's CLASS in the ClassCastException, like
  the JVM — never the value, whose printed form may be unbounded: ((range))
  must throw, not hang rendering an infinite seq.
- realized? on a seq cell answers by its forced flag (the rest of a realized
  lazy chain is a cseq under jolt's seq model), and the overlay's unsupported-
  type error names the class, not the (possibly infinite) value.
- clojure.test/is dispatches a REGISTERED assert-expr method before its by-name
  inline paths, like clojure.test where the built-ins are just pre-registered
  methods — so an alias-qualified p/thrown? (the suite's portability helper)
  isn't captured by the built-in thrown? path, which read its body as a class.
- clojure.test tracks tests and fixtures per namespace: deftest records its
  defining ns, use-fixtures registers under the calling ns (no more cross-ns
  clobbering), (run-tests 'ns ...) runs only those namespaces like clojure.test,
  and each run-tests call prints/returns its own summary (global counters stay
  cumulative for the n-pass/n-fail harness API).

Re-mint (20-coll.clj is seed; prelude only). +2 JVM-certified corpus rows;
the clojure-test fixture pins the alias-qualified assert-expr, per-call
summaries, and ns filtering.

Chez bootstrap seed

These two files are the bootstrap compiler for jolt — the seed that makes the build self-hosting:

  • prelude.ss — the clojure.core prelude (all tiers + clojure.string/walk/ template/edn/set/pprint) as Scheme def-var! forms.
  • image.ss — the compiler image (jolt.ir + jolt.analyzer + jolt.backend-scheme) as Scheme def-var! forms.

Both are generated, not hand-written. They are checked in because a fresh checkout must be able to build jolt-on-Chez using only Chez: host/chez/bootstrap.ss loads this seed, then rebuilds the prelude + image from the .clj/.ss sources via the on-Chez compiler (read → analyze → emit, all on Chez). The seed is a joint byte-fixpoint: rebuilding from an up-to-date seed reproduces it exactly. make selfhost (host/chez/selfcheck.sh) runs host/chez/bootstrap.ss and diffs the rebuilt artifacts against the checked-in seed.

Re-minting

When the seed sources change (the core tiers, the compiler namespaces, the host contract, the reader, emit-image.ss), the seed drifts and make selfhost fails. Re-mint it by running host/chez/bootstrap.ss and writing the freshly rebuilt prelude/image back to host/chez/seed/prelude.ss / host/chez/seed/image.ss, then commit the refreshed files.
