Yogthos e6aa2aace7 core.logic constraint layer: fixes for the CLP/unifier failures 
Follow-on to the core.logic relational-engine work. These clear every crash in
core.logic's constraint-logic-programming and unifier layers (33 errors -> 0) and
most of the value mismatches; the suite goes 504 -> 523 passing assertions. All
are general gaps, not core.logic-specific.

- symbols intern their ns/name strings (JVM Symbol.intern .intern()s them): two
  separately-read `?a` symbols now share one name-string object. core.logic's
  non-unique lvars compare names by identity (via (str sym)), so without this a
  term's lvar and a constraint's lvar built from different `?a` reads never matched
  and constraints silently never fired.
- (str x) of a single arg returns its rendering directly instead of copying through
  string-append, and a symbol stringifies to its (interned) name — JVM (str x) is
  x.toString(). Needed for the identity comparison above.
- a clojure.core-qualified special form dispatches correctly: syntax-quote
  namespace-qualifies a macro like letfn to clojure.core/letfn (matching Clojure,
  where it's a macro), and the analyzer now maps that back to the special form
  instead of treating it as an invoke of a nil var. core.logic's fnc/defnc emit
  (clojure.core/letfn ...). Re-mint.
- (disj nil ...) is nil (JVM), instead of crashing in the set path — core.logic's
  constraint store does (disj (get km v) id) where the get can be nil.

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.
