+- 2026-07-24 implementation design (recorded before staging work; from reading
+  tools/family_artifacts.tcl): family_artifacts.tcl runs AFTER kits are built (copies
+  finished exes, hashes them), so the embed happens at the kit-family staging step and
+  emission READS IT BACK: family_artifacts mounts each kit exe (tcl::zipfs::mount on
+  the file) and loads the embedded record, deriving the sidecar's shared fields
+  (build_id, origin, packager, schema...) from it - single source of truth, identical
+  build_id by construction, and every emission run inherently verifies the embed
+  exists (fail if absent). Staging generates build_id per member and writes the
+  embedded record WITHOUT sha1/size (finished-binary facts stay sidecar-only).
+  Embedded record filename namespaced per the G-025 reconciliation note.
+- Remaining for acceptance: locate/extend the kit-family staging step (embed write),
+  family_artifacts v1 fields + mount-read derivation + '#' field comments +
+  -Doriginurl/-Dpackager plumbing, family_check embedded-record verification,
+  punk-runtime 'info' action (ps1 + bash + cmd rewrap; zip central-directory read,
+  cooperative-probe fallback documented), punkbin AGENTS.md schema v1 docs, suite
+  rebuild + r2 re-emission + wrap trial (also verifies the G-118 items 1+7 patch rev
+  behaviour on rebuilt kits).
