Index entry + detail file per the approved wording: bake/bakelist keyed by an explicit target platform (store folder, exe suffixing, kit naming, presence, process-sweep tooling) with host personality only selecting defaults; stable punk::platform canon tags for cygwin-family hosts (MSYSTEM variance documented); per-entry mapping target as a minimal extension ceding schema to G-024; zipfs-less zip-type assembly via split + punk::zip::mkzip + cat (archive-start-relative offsets - user's correction); third-party tier REPRESENTATION in scope, publication/fetch flagged as a follow-on candidate; FreeBSD linuxulator expectation recorded with verification deferred to the planned linux-kit trial.

# G-122 make.tcl host/target platform split: bake by target, not host personality |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Status: proposed |
||||||
|
Scope: src/make.tcl (target-platform derivation; store folder, exe suffixing, kit naming, presence checks and process-sweep tooling keyed by target; platform-canon inline copy; zipfs-less zip-type assembly fallback); src/modules/punk/platform-999999.0a1.0.tm (stable canon tags for cygwin-family hosts, help platforms doc); src/runtime/mapvfs.config (per-entry target platform via minimal compatible extension - format ownership coordinated with G-024); bin/runtime/<platform>/ store tiers (as consumed; fixture tier for tests); src/tests/shell/testsuites/punkexe/ (characterization) |
||||||
|
Goal: make.tcl's kit surfaces (bake/bakelist/bin) operate on an explicit target platform rather than the driving tclsh's personality: any capable host (native windows tclsh, msys/cygwin-runtime tclsh, a FreeBSD host running linux binaries) addresses the same per-target runtime store, artifact naming and process handling for the kits it reports/bakes; non-native-personality runtime tiers (e.g third-party mingw64 builds served from punkbin or an alternative artifact server) are representable as first-class mapping entries with their own store tier; and zip-type kit assembly no longer requires zipfs in the driving tcl. |
||||||
|
Acceptance: an msys/cygwin-runtime tclsh driving bakelist/bake on windows reports - and for a changed kit, bakes and deploys - the same win32-x86_64 kit set with identical names and store addressing as a native tclsh, with the pre-deploy process sweep using windows tooling for win32 targets regardless of host personality; punk::platform and the make.tcl inline canon map MSYS_NT/MINGW64_NT/CYGWIN_NT/UCRT64-class hosts to stable documented tags (MSYSTEM-variance documented, no windows build number in the tag) and 'help platforms' lists them; a mapvfs entry declaring a non-default target platform lists in bakelist with its own tier's store presence and bakes to a correctly suffixed artifact, verified against a fixture store tier (a real third-party runtime is not required); a zipfs-less driving tcl (8.6) assembles a zip-type kit via runtime split + punk::zip::mkzip + concatenation (archive-start-relative offsets) and the artifact boots on a zipfs-capable runtime; the linuxulator expectation (a linux-personality tclsh on FreeBSD 14/15 addresses the linux-x86_64 store unchanged) is recorded here with verification deferred to the planned linux-kit-on-FreeBSD trial; native-windows behaviour stays characterization-stable (existing punkexe maketcl tests pass unchanged). |

|
## Context |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Field session 2026-07-26: the scoop msys2 tclsh8.6 driving `src/make.tcl |
||||||
|
bakelist` on windows showed every configured kit as runtime=missing (and |
||||||
|
deployed absent) from two compounding causes: the store folder derives from the |
||||||
|
HOST's platform canon (observed `mingw64-x86_64` under a MINGW64_NT os string - |
||||||
|
note the tag follows the MSYSTEM environment, so the same binary can canonize |
||||||
|
as msys/ucrt64/mingw64 in different shells), and the platform=unix branch |
||||||
|
probes suffixless filenames - an assumption that is false for the entire |
||||||
|
cygwin family, whose executables are `.exe` files (the msys tclsh itself is |
||||||
|
`tclsh8.6.exe`). The interim self-diagnosis shipped in punkshell 0.24.1 |
||||||
|
(bakelist store-folder WARNING with the canon derivation + `(FOLDER MISSING)` |
||||||
|
header mark; bake's no-runtimes exit note) tells the user what happened; this |
||||||
|
goal makes the tooling actually cater for it. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The underlying defect is a conflation: make.tcl's scattered |
||||||
|
`$::tcl_platform(platform) eq "windows"` tests mix three separable concerns - |
||||||
|
host process semantics (cp vs `cmd /c copy`, `ps`/`kill` vs |
||||||
|
tasklist/taskkill, path personality), target artifact naming (`.exe` |
||||||
|
suffixing, kit/output names), and store addressing (`bin/runtime/<canon>`). |
||||||
|
An msys host pulls them apart. The process sweep is the sharpest edge: msys |
||||||
|
`ps` sees only msys-descendant processes, so a natively-launched kit exe is |
||||||
|
invisible to the pre-deploy sweep (taskkill remains exec-able from msys). |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Direction (user, 2026-07-26): even if msys never becomes a zig buildsuite |
||||||
|
target, third-party-built runtime tiers (e.g an msys2-packaged tclsh) served |
||||||
|
from punkbin or an alternative artifact server must be supportable as kit |
||||||
|
runtimes - REPRESENTATION (mapping entry + store tier) belongs here; |
||||||
|
publication/fetch is the flagged follow-on goal. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
FreeBSD linuxulator parallel (user): a linux-personality tclsh running on |
||||||
|
FreeBSD via the linux compat layer is expected to self-identify as linux and |
||||||
|
address `bin/runtime/linux-x86_64` correctly - the planned |
||||||
|
linux-kit-on-FreeBSD-14/15 trial doubles as verification that target-keyed |
||||||
|
stores follow runtime personality, not host OS identity. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Zip offsets (user correction, 2026-07-26): tcl zipfs kits mount with |
||||||
|
archive-start-relative offsets - cat-style construction (split the original |
||||||
|
runtime first, then append a freshly written zip) is valid; `zipfs mkimg`'s |
||||||
|
file-relative offset adjustment is one convention, not a mounting |
||||||
|
requirement. The existing zipcat kit type is the in-repo proof, and its |
||||||
|
machinery already has zipfs-less fallbacks. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Approach |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- One `target_platform` derivation: default from the host canon, with |
||||||
|
cygwin-family hosts on windows defaulting to target `win32-x86_64`; |
||||||
|
per-entry mapping override for non-default tiers (a minimal compatible |
||||||
|
extension of the current vfsconfig entry - e.g a fourth element - whose |
||||||
|
schema home is G-024's toml conversion; the parsed-model seam (G-121, |
||||||
|
achieved - see goals/archive/G-121-bakelist-selective-bake.md) keeps every |
||||||
|
consumer format-agnostic while the format moves). |
||||||
|
- Key store folder, suffixing, kit/artifact naming, presence checks and the |
||||||
|
process-sweep tool selection by TARGET; keep copy commands, path handling |
||||||
|
and prompt behaviour host-driven. |
||||||
|
- punk::platform canon: explicit MSYS_NT/MINGW64_NT/CYGWIN_NT/UCRT64 mapping |
||||||
|
to stable documented tags with the MSYSTEM-variance caveat; the make.tcl |
||||||
|
inline canon copy stays in sync per its existing comment contract. |
||||||
|
- zip-type fallback for zipfs-less driving tcls: reuse the zipcat machinery |
||||||
|
(extract_preamble split + punk::zip::mkzip + concatenation). |
||||||
|
- Characterization against a fixture store tier so no real third-party |
||||||
|
runtime is required; the msys-hosted acceptance run uses the dev machine's |
||||||
|
msys tclsh where present (else recorded env-gated, per punkexe suite |
||||||
|
conventions). |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Alternatives considered |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Per-site host patches (special-case each windows test) - rejected: the |
||||||
|
three-concern conflation just re-accumulates with each new host class. |
||||||
|
- Full self-hosted msys platform lineage (msys-personality kits, accelerator |
||||||
|
builds, own test baselines) - out of scope: the third-party tier direction |
||||||
|
covers the need without a new first-party build lineage. |
||||||
|
- Status quo (require a native tclsh to drive make.tcl) - rejected: field |
||||||
|
friction (the all-missing bakelist), and upcoming linux/FreeBSD hosts make |
||||||
|
host-personality assumptions untenable regardless of msys. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Notes |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Related: G-024 - owns the mapping format; the per-entry target platform is |
||||||
|
drafted as a minimal compatible extension and its schema home is that |
||||||
|
goal's toml conversion (make.tcl's own comments already pair the platform |
||||||
|
column with the toml change). |
||||||
|
- Related: G-105 - cross-target zig builds populate first-party non-native |
||||||
|
store tiers; this goal is the consuming/addressing side. |
||||||
|
- Related: G-114 - same punk::platform canon vocabulary, applied to |
||||||
|
per-platform tm module roots. |
||||||
|
- Related: G-101 - 8.6 kit containers ride the same mapping/store surfaces; |
||||||
|
lister/bake stay kit-type-agnostic (per the archived G-121 decision). |
||||||
|
- Related: G-057 - per-entry mapping extension precedent (per-vfs icon |
||||||
|
override rides the same entry shape). |
||||||
|
- Related: G-023 - kit naming schemes; target-keyed naming must not collide |
||||||
|
with its version-named binaries direction. |
||||||
|
- Follow-on candidate (flagged, drafted separately for approval): third-party |
||||||
|
runtime tier publication/fetch via punkbin or alternative servers |
||||||
|
(punk-runtime payloads, server platform manifests, consent gating per |
||||||
|
G-006, artifact-channel kinship with G-067). |
||||||
|
- Out of scope: msys pty raw-mode console/repl behaviour - the cursor-row-1 |
||||||
|
field finding of 2026-07-26 is recorded in G-013's Notes. |
