G-103: punk-in-name requirement for patched runtimes; punkbin push deferred to family artifacts
User direction 2026-07-21 recorded in G-103: piperepl-patched runtime
executables must carry 'punk' in the name (e.g tclsh905punk.exe) so
patched and unpatched are never confusable - now an Acceptance item, with
the open design questions captured (how to encode tcl patchlevel + punk
version, separator choice; existing sub-namespaces punkNNN kits /
tclsh-runtimes / punk- utilities; metadata carries authoritative versions
so filenames stay human-distinguishing). The suite's tclsh90spr/sprzip
are flagged as internal working names in patches/README.md pending the
scheme.
Also noted: punkbin pushes of suite runtimes are deferred until family
members carry Thread etc in the attached zip and the punk-named pr
variants exist - publication follows G-103's artifacts, not the interim
tclsh905/punk905 shapes. goals_lint clean.

Scope: src/buildsuites/suite_tcl90/ (kit assembly steps in recipe/driver; pattern for later suites), src/vfs/_config + src/runtime/mapvfs.config (as consumers of the new runtime names), punkbin repo layout + metadata (c:/repo/jn/punkbin; compatible repos), src/scriptapps runtime scriptset ('runtime.cmd' list/use - punk-runtime rename pending G-097)
Goal: buildsuites produce a defined FAMILY of runnable, self-contained runtime kits - executables whose info library and core batteries live in the initially attached zip, depending on no external filesystem tree: (1) a PLAIN tclsh kit carrying loadable Thread, tclvfs with as many vfs::* packages as we have, and tcllib+tcllibc; (2) a PUNK kit = the plain kit with the TCLSH_PIPEREPL patch applied and ENABLED BY DEFAULT (env opt-out, not opt-in - users wanting stock behaviour take the plain kit); (3) BI (batteries-included) punk kits additionally carrying libraries WE BUILD - Tk first; sqlite3/tdom/twapi as future build targets - all in the attached zip. These are the project's 'runtime' executables: punkbin candidates carrying metadata (variant, component versions, target platform, provenance) that runtime list/use subcommands can surface.
Acceptance: suite_tcl90 produces named artifacts for at least plain, punk, and one bi (+Tk) kit; each verified self-contained from a path with no external Tcl visible (info library resolves into the attached zip; package require checks for Thread, vfs + representative vfs::* packages, tcllib module + tcllibc acceleration engaged; bi adds Tk create/destroy) with the checks recorded here; the punk kit demonstrates piperepl active by default and disabled via the documented env opt-out, the plain kit demonstrates stock behaviour (no patch); artifact metadata (variant, versions, target, source provenance) is emitted alongside the binaries in the punkbin layout and surfaced by the runtime scriptset's list/use; the naming scheme for family members is documented and mapvfs.config consumes the punk/bi runtimes; the 8.6 family variant is explicitly deferred to the G-101 container investigation (static vfs / metakit patching questions).
