punk::lib 0.5.0: has_tclbug_nestedswitch_tracelines check (behavioural probe of tktview 5d5b1052280c976ea3d4)
New check pair in punk::lib::check, in the established style (G-076
console_deadspin exemplar: pure facts-in/verdict-out classifier
tclbug_nestedswitch_tracelines_signature + has_tclbug_* proc returning the
standard buginfo dict {bug bugref description level}, auto-surfaced through
the help tcl warning report via the info procs enumeration).
Unlike the version-gated checks, this one is a LIVE behavioural probe (safe
and cheap - no console interaction): a dynamically-defined proc with a
nested 4-word switch is enterstep-traced for inner arm 1 (affected split-
list index 1 - reports line 3) and the default arm (index 5, beyond the
command word count - reports line 2 correctly), matched against the
characterized wrong/right signature. Detection therefore flips
automatically on a Tcl runtime containing the upstream fix - no fixed_in
version variable needed. Probe layout note: a 2-arm probe would put the
default body at affected index 3 and hide the signature (both arms
mismark) - the middle arm exists to push default to safe index 5 (this
initially bit the probe itself, confirming the law once more).
Followup-when-fixed documented in the proc: re-verify with
scriptlib/developer/tcl_switch_traceline_repro.tcl, flip the
ns/cmdtrace.test GAP pins and fixed-canary, update the punk::ns::cmdtrace
argdoc caveat, note the fixed-in version. New canary test
cmdtrace_upstream_bug_check_canary asserts the check still reports the bug
- on a fixed Tcl it fails first and points at that workflow.
Verified: punk/ns 69/69 and punk/lib 37/37 under Tcl 9.0.3; cmdtrace.test
6/6 under 8.7; all has_tclbug_*/has_libbug_* procs exercised help-tcl style
without error; probe self-cleans (no temp proc/var residue).

## [0.12.32] - 2026-07-14
- punk::lib 0.5.0: new punk::lib::check::has_tclbug_nestedswitch_tracelines (+ pure signature classifier) - live behavioural probe of the upstream nested-switch trace-line mis-attribution (tcl tktview 5d5b1052280c976ea3d4), surfaced in the 'help tcl' warning report (level medium) alongside the existing has_tclbug_* checks. No version gate: the probe matches the characterized wrong/right arm signature, so it flips automatically on a fixed Tcl runtime; a fixed-canary test in ns/cmdtrace.test then fails first, triggering the documented followup (flip GAP pins, update cmdtrace argdoc caveat, record fixed-in version).
## [0.12.31] - 2026-07-14
- punk::ns 0.6.0: cmdtrace gains -pause 0 for non-interactive use (bypasses the enter-key pause so the marked-up traced-body report can be captured by scripts/tests). The nested-switch line-mismark was characterized with a punk-free minimal repro (identical on Tcl 8.6.17/8.7a6/9.0.3) confirming the bug upstream (core.tcl-lang.org tktview 5d5b1052280c976ea3d4): arm bodies whose split-list index lands on a literal word of the switch command report container-relative lines; new ns/cmdtrace.test pins correct flat/2-word-form marking and GAP-pins the upstream mismarks; cmdtrace argdoc caveat updated with the ticket and pattern.
set description "Execution traces on a nested single-block switch mis-attribute lines for the arm bodies\nwhose split-list index lands on a literal word of the switch command (options/--/block):\nthose arms report lines as if their body began at the switch command's line, while other\narms report correctly arm-relative. Debug/trace tooling line markers (e.g punk::ns::cmdtrace)\nare wrong for the affected arms - which arms are affected varies with the switch options used."
#0.5.0 - new check pair punk::lib::check::has_tclbug_nestedswitch_tracelines + tclbug_nestedswitch_tracelines_signature (pure facts-in/verdict-out classifier, G-076 console_deadspin style): live behavioural probe of upstream tcl tktview 5d5b1052280c976ea3d4 (execution-trace line mis-attribution for nested single-block switch arm bodies whose split-list index lands on a literal word of the switch command; punkshell-author-reported; punk-free repro scriptlib/developer/tcl_switch_traceline_repro.tcl, identical 8.6.17/8.7a6/9.0.3). The probe defines a dynamic-body proc, enterstep-traces inner arm 1 (affected index 1 -> reports 3) vs the default arm (index 5, beyond the 4-word command -> reports 2) and matches the characterized wrong/right signature - so detection flips automatically on a fixed Tcl (no version gate; followup steps for that day documented in the proc: re-verify with the repro script, flip the ns/cmdtrace.test GAP pins + canary, update the cmdtrace argdoc caveat, note fixed-in version). Surfaced via 'help tcl' warnings (level medium) alongside the other has_tclbug_* checks; probe is self-cleaning (temp proc/var removed in finally).
#0.4.3 - G-076: buginfo dicts gain an optional mitigated/mitigation axis (mitigated boolean + mitigation text) orthogonal to level - a check whose defect is covered by a shipped punkshell mitigation reports it so 'help tcl' can render the warning subdued while keeping the severity classification. has_tclbug_console_deadspin populates it: mitigated when punk::repl >= 0.5.0 (console liveness watchdog) is available to the runtime (udp-check-style version discovery without loading), with the watchdog scope described in the mitigation text (non-repl console reads remain exposed).
#0.4.2 - G-076: new punk::lib::check::has_tclbug_console_deadspin + tclbug_console_deadspin_applies classifier - version-based detection of the tcl9 windows dead-console defect (f10d91c2d3, root-caused in G-039: dead console never delivered as a fileevent + core reader thread busy-loop). Gate variable check::tclbug_console_deadspin_fixed_in (empty = no fixed release known - all Tcl 9 windows affected); shared by the 'help tcl' warning and repl::start's watchdog arming.
#0.4.1 - G-051 call-site adaptation: tclscript analysis accepts cmdinfo's new 'doconly' cmdtype alongside 'notfound' (subcommand-walk stop condition and the dispatchwords bucketing switch) - bucketed identically to notfound to preserve prior analysis behaviour; a future refinement may count doconly (a documented pseudo-command such as 'string is xdigit') as a valid command word.
- `punk/ansi/` — punk::ansi tests (`testsuites/ansi/`): ansistrip/ansimerge, plus characterization of the ANSI-at-position mechanisms (`ansistring.test`: INDEX/INDEXCODE/INDEXCHAR/RANGE/INSERT grapheme indexing with SGR-prefix merging, INDEXCOLUMNS/COLUMNINDEX double-wide column mapping, trim/VIEW), code splitting invariants (`ta.test`: detect/detectcode distinction, split_codes/split_codes_single/split_at_codes shapes and round-trip) and single-code/effective-state semantics (`codetype.test`: is_sgr_reset/has_sgr_leadingreset, has_any/all_effective, sgr_merge, sequence_type classify), grepstr characterization (`grepstr.test`: return modes incl summarydict (linemap pinned as always-present - the -help says -n-only, reconciliation deferred to the planned hygiene pass), exact highlight SGR wrapping, -n line numbering, invert + empty-highlight strip, -C context/breaks, capture groups, and the tab deficiency: warns once per call on stderr, single-pass tab line survives - the multi-pass mangling is pinned at consumer level in punk/ns corp.test), and untabify characterization (`untabify.test`: -stops int/list/terminal, -with spaces/unicode/custom-pair, multiline, errors, plus the EXPERIMENTAL -plastic elastic-tabstop mode deliberately pinned-as-interim and retained for possible repl editbuf use). Console queries (get_tabstops/get_size + punk::console::tabwidth) are mocked per the overtype renderline.test pattern - they emit live terminal queries that block/error headless. ANSI codes in these tests are literal escape strings so results are colour-state independent
- `punk/args/` — punk::args tests (`testsuites/args/`): parsing, choices/choicegroups, forms, rendering/indentation characterization, synopsis display characterization (`synopsis.test`: basic italic argname/`<type>` styling, longopt `--x=` alias forms, literal/literalprefix/stringstartswith/stringendswith type-alternates rendering unitalicised, option alternate parenthesization, multi-element clause display incl `?type?` members and argname tail-word hints, `-typesynopsis` value-element lists and option passthrough incl documenter ANSI, and the small-restricted-choice-set literal rule: 1-3 restricted choices render as unitalicised `|`-joined literals in leader/option/value positions with choicegroups counted, >3 or `-choicerestricted 0` falling back to italics, `-typesynopsis` taking precedence), usage-marking characterization (`usagemarking.test`: -parsedargs/-badarg/-parsestatus/-scheme marking primitives plus goodchoice highlighting of selected/default-in-effect choice words, asserted by SGR-parameter subset against the live colour arrays; the G-049 nocolour/colour-leak GAP pins flipped 2026-07-10 to scheme-statelessness assertions), the G-049 parse-status structure (`parsestatus.test`: punk::args::parse_status overall/per-argument statuses, badarg for type/allocation failures, -caller attribution, errorcode -argspecs stripping), -parsekey characterization (`parsekey.test`: result/received/solos/multis keying, shared-key required satisfaction and defaults, mash-path and prefix-abbreviation keying, plus GAP pins for last-defined-member default precedence, cross-member -multiple value loss, parsekey/optname collision conflation, and values/leaders parsekey breakage - desired-behaviour pins disabled behind punkargsKnownBug in `testsuites/dev/parsekey-knownbugs.test`), and tclcore doc/interpreter behavioural parity (`tclcoreparity.test`, G-054, gated on have_tclcoredocs: 'string is' class choices equal the live-harvested set, per-class docids exist, error-vs-ok agreement across the probe matrix, version-note labels conditional on class presence - expectations derived from the running interpreter, green on 8.6/8.7/9.0; under 8.6 run the file directly via a plain tclkit + tcltest driver since runtests' harness needs newer infrastructure)

- `punk/mix/` — punk::mix::cli tests (prune helpers, punkcheck virtual sources), punk::mix::commandset::repo fossil move/rename characterization tests (`testsuites/repo/`, FOSSIL_HOME-isolated; GAP-marked tests pin behaviour G-022 will change), punk::mix::commandset::loadedlib tests (`testsuites/loadedlib/libsearch.test`: 'dev lib.search' match semantics via -return list — wrap-glob default, =exact prefix, case rules, explicit globs, version aggregation — plus the loadedlib 0.2.0 contract: deep discovery by default (deep .tm modules found without -refresh, registration persists), -refresh = genuine re-scan (epoch incr + rediscovery picks up .tm files added to already-scanned dirs), and highlight working without the shell-global a+ alias; shared provisioned child interp sourcing the source-tree libunknown directly — see the file's ORDERING NOTE), and the MULTISHELL polyglot build machinery (`testsuites/scriptwrap/multishell.test`: scriptset wrap via the punk.multishell.cmd template - structure/LF-only/determinism, checkfile 512-byte label validation of fresh wraps AND the committed bin/runtime.cmd, the runtime scriptset round-trip byte-identity pin, and platform-gated execution smoke: cmd.exe→powershell payload on windows, sh payload on unix or via the `wsllinux` capability constraint from `src/tests/testsupport/wslprobe.tcl` - staged to the WSL distro's native filesystem, G-059)
- `punk/lib/` — punk::lib tests (`testsuites/lib/`): range/index/parse/compat/interp_sync utilities, G-058 static-baseline seeding (`staticseed.test`: interp_sync_package_paths/snapshot_package_paths propagate a simulated ::punkboot static baseline and seed `load {} <prefix>` ifneeded mappings; no-op without a baseline), and the repl command-completeness engine (`commandcomplete.test`: punk::lib::system::incomplete pending-opener stacks - the info-complete quoting quirk progression (`set x "{*}{"` standalone vs in-proc-body), single openers, tabs, escapes, incomplete<->info-complete parity property; pre-repl-refactor characterization, see goals/G-044 detail preserve-list)
