+## Progress
+
+Increment 1 landed 2026-08-02 (metakit_punk commit b9670b3, local master -
+push to the gitea origin pending): pooryorick core + regress suite ported
+byte-identical (src/include 6 headers, src/core 40 files + config.h fork
+addition, src/tests 18 sources + 248-file ok/ set + fixtures/reversed from
+upstream unix/); root build.zig + build.zig.zon (package .metakit_punk 0.1.0,
+min zig 0.16.0) + tools/regress_check.zig host driver; root LICENSE (MIT/X11
+license.terms verbatim). VERIFIED: 'zig build' plus 'zig build test
+-Dtarget=x86_64-windows' and -Dtarget=x86-windows all green under the pinned
+zig 0.16.0 (6/6 build steps each; 32-bit regress executed natively via WoW64;
+independent rerun of each arch binary + 'diff -r --strip-trailing-cr
+src/tests/ok' clean at 248 files per arch) - the acceptance's first clause is
+met by the current tree and re-verifies at the final pinned commit.
+
+Port findings worth keeping (details in the fork's src/AGENTS.md + build.zig):
+- The Approach's C++ spike question is answered: the core is exception-free
+  (zero throw/try/catch sites) and RTTI-free; -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti are
+  live fork flags, so the ix86 EH story is a non-issue. The regress harness's
+  try/catch compiles away under __GNUC__ (q4_NOTHROW).
+- zig cc's default trapping UBSan fires on 2007-era formal UB
+  (derived.cpp:308 c4_FilterSeq::PreChange binds a reference to a null
+  c4_Cursor on non-insert notifications) -> -fno-sanitize=undefined
+  -fno-sanitize-trap=undefined, the suite's tcl/tk/zlib accommodation. A
+  source-level UB-hygiene pass would be a fork improvement project, not port
+  scope.
+- config.h (autoconf/CMake product upstream) is a tracked fork file:
+  HAVE_MEMMOVE is its only live setting on clang/mingw targets; q4_I86/M68K
+  CPU flags are defined-but-unused, format portability is byte-level by
+  design.
+- Container layer q4_UNIV default (std.cpp excluded) per upstream CMake;
+  library installs as lib/mk4.lib (0.16 name) + include/{mk4*.h,*.inl} - the
+  linkLibrary(dep.artifact("mk4")) consumer shape the suite arm needs.
+
+Remaining for acceptance:
+- KitCreator mk4tcl patch-set audit (eight patches vs 2.4.9.7) with per-patch
+  disposition recorded here as fork commits citing origin.
+- Mk4tcl binding as stubs-linked dll against the suite tcl core-8-6-branch pin
+  (1d1d5cbd91; lazy zon dep + -Dtcl-src option per Approach) + tclsh86t load
+  and mk::file round-trip transcript recorded here.
+- x86_64 <-> ix86 mk4 datafile interchange check (both directions).
+- Static-embed shape (Tcl_StaticPackage) into a kit-class shell copy, or its
+  blocker recorded here.
+- Fork commit pinned + ready-to-land sources.config and build.zig.zon record
+  text captured here (drafts above become concrete once the port is pushed).
