Static-embed experiment (untracked build86_mk4embed.zig variant in the
suite _build staging, preserved at TEMP_REFERENCE/metakit-mk4embed/):
tclsh86ts-mk4.exe = kit-class static shell + engine + Mk4tcl + mk4too
via Tcl_StaticLibrary registration; increment-4 smoke transcript passes
identically; import table measured IDENTICAL to stock (zero new dll
deps from C++ embed - G-130 prediction now measured). Acceptance
resolution recorded at fork pin 6a92b479; remaining list EMPTY; Status
flipped achieved 2026-08-02. Archive move + index swap + reference
sweep follow in the companion commit (pure-rename discipline).

Goal: the punkshell-maintained metakit fork (c:/repo/jn/metakit_punk - gitea jn/metakit - pooryorick 2.4.9.8 porting baseline with the dead upstreams preserved as in-repo reference snapshots) builds standalone under the pinned zig toolchain as a Tcl-agnostic C++ core library plus the Mk4tcl binding in both loadable-dll and static-embed shapes, for win32-x86_64 and win32-ix86 alike, and a suite-built 8.6 shell loads and exercises the dll - so the G-101 mk4 container candidate rests on a first-party, commit-pinned, provenance-carrying source referenced by the buildsuites the punkzip way (gitea commit pin in sources.config plus zon tarball record) rather than on dead third-party upstreams or a wholesale vendor copy.
