Description
Functions type hinted with void cause the ClojureDart compiler to crash.
Version
ClojureDart release tag: 0.9.20260822a
Example
(defn hi ^void []
(prn "hi"))
;; hint location makes no difference
;; (defn ^void hello []
;; (prn "hello"))
Result
clj -M:cljd compile
Compiling to Dart... @11:49:33
example.main
Execution error (AssertionError) at cljd.compiler/relocatable-class-name (compiler.cljc:3276).
Assert failed: oh noes void{:kind :class, :element-name "void", :canon-qname void, :qname void, :type-parameters [], :nullable false}
(qualified-symbol? relocatable-type)
Expected
clj -M:cljd compile
Compiling to Dart... @12:07:05
example.main
Compilation succeeded - I like when a plan comes together! 👨🦳 @12:07:13

Research direction
Reproduce the crash with the provided Clojure example using clj -M:cljd compile, then start at compiler.cljc:3276 in cljd.compiler/relocatable-class-name. Trace how the void type hint is represented and confirm that compilation succeeds for the example without the assertion failure.
