Documentation-only. The define -help gains two sections: 'Registration
styles' (direct define vs deferred lappend-PUNKARGS registration - the
lazy scan/on-demand definition mechanics, why moduledocs and the module
template use it, PUNKARGS_aliases, punk::args::status timings) and
'Interpolation (tstr placeholders) and the defspace' (display-field
deferral vs parse-field expansion vs @dynamic; the defspace rule with
the argdoc-child subtlety; the silent-literal fallback; safe patterns
for load-time-computed values). Motivated by the ::after id-shape
harvest misattribution - corrected record in goals/G-055.

## [0.12.17] - 2026-07-13
- punk::args 0.11.1 (documentation-only): the define help now documents the two definition-registration styles (direct define vs lazy PUNKARGS/register::NAMESPACES registration used by module templates and moduledocs) and the tstr interpolation rules - display-field deferral, parse-field expansion at first resolve, the defspace rule (argdoc child namespace wins when present), the silent-literal fallback for unresolvable placeholders, and the safe patterns for load-time-computed values.
## [0.12.16] - 2026-07-13
- tclcore moduledoc 0.3.0: 'after cancel <word>' and 'after info <id>' now discriminate by the after-id shape, harvested from the running interpreter at load time (user-directed). 'i after cancel someid' resolves cleanly to the cancel-script form exactly as real Tcl treats it (silent script-match no-op), and only genuinely id-shaped words ('after#N') report the cancelid/cancelscript ambiguity - the junction real Tcl itself resolves by id liveness at runtime. Parity pins added (tclcoreparity.test) including the accepted dead-id over-acceptance boundary.
#0.11.1 - documentation-only: define -help gains a 'Registration styles' section (direct define vs deferred lappend-PUNKARGS + register::NAMESPACES registration - lazy @id scan and on-demand definition via update_definitions, the module-template/moduledoc style, PUNKARGS_aliases, punk::args::status timings; prefer deferred for anything large) and an 'Interpolation (tstr placeholders) and the defspace' section (display-field deferral vs parse-field expansion at first resolve vs @dynamic re-expansion; defspace rule: direct define = calling namespace, registered PUNKARGS = the argdoc child namespace when it exists even if the PUNKARGS variable is in the parent; unresolvable placeholders left silently literal - check the defspace when a literal ${...} appears; robust patterns for load-time-computed values: explicit tstr pre-expansion, build-time string-map token, or setting the variable in argdoc). Motivated by the ::after id-shape harvest misattribution (2026-07-13, corrected record in goals/G-055).
#0.11.0 - G-041 increment 2 (doc-surface support): synopsis renderer honours the documented @form -synopsis override - the stored override now replaces the auto-calculated synopsis line in punk::args::synopsis full and summary renders (arg_error's synopsis section honoured it already; the per-form dict gains a 'synopsis' key when overridden, FORMARGS unchanged for dict consumers) - forms.test GAP forms_form_synopsis_override_stored_not_rendered_GAP flipped to forms_form_synopsis_override_rendered. Candidate-form ranking extended to choice discriminators: form_literal_affinity now treats a required argument with a RESTRICTED choice set as a discriminator (matched via choiceword_match, the shared G-040 resolver) alongside literal()/literalprefix() types - the tclcore models express subcommand-ish literals as -choices (e.g after's cancel/idle/info), so 'after cancel' now ranks the cancel forms first in noformmatch errors and parse_status best-candidate selection instead of falling back to declaration order.
#0.10.0 - G-041 multi-form candidacy: punk::args::parse/get_dict with the default -form * (or any multi-form selection) now attempts every permitted form instead of effectively parsing form 0 only - a clean match against exactly one form is auto-selected, no match raises a 'noformmatch' PUNKARGS VALIDATION error naming each candidate form's first-line failure (candidates ranked best-first: leading-literal affinity with the supplied words, then incomplete before invalid, then declaration order - private::form_selection/form_literal_affinity/rank_form_failures), and several clean matches raise 'multipleformmatches' naming the forms (no silent preference - deliberate, callers pass -form to disambiguate). -form now accepts a list of form names/indices as documented (get_dict, parse, parse_status, arg_error; supplied order preserved - arg_error renders the argument table for the first listed form and marks all listed forms' synopsis entries; parse's error render passes the ranked candidates). Parse results gain a 'form' key (the parsed form; keys appended after 'id' - positional consumers unaffected) and, when candidacy ran, a 'formstatus' key reporting every attempted form's outcome; parse_status 'form' is now the matched/best-candidate form (per-argument statuses and badarg marking built for it) and gains the documented 'formstatus' key (per-form status/failureclass/badarg/message with caller attribution) - the per-form compatibility surface the G-044 completion/hinting consumer needs. Engine body extracted verbatim to private::get_dict_form (single-form parse; argspecs resolved before selection - no caller-frame use). forms.test GAP pins flipped (auto-selection, -form list restriction) + new coverage (shared-prologue arity discrimination, noformmatch ranking/errorcode, multipleformmatches, formstatus in results and parse_status).
#0.9.0 - G-071: allocation choice screen - get_dict_can_assign_value no longer blanket-accepts any word for an argument with a RESTRICTED choice set; where allocation has an alternative (the argument is -optional, or a further occurrence of a -multiple argument) the candidate word is screened with choiceword_match (the shared G-040 implementation: exact/alias/prefix/nocase semantics; -choicemultiple words screened per list member within min/max), and a non-matching word yields onward to later elements/clauses instead of being consumed and failing validation. Fixes the lseq-class in-form failures: an optional choice noise word between required values plus a trailing optional-member clause ('lseq 0 10 2', '0 10 by 2', '1 5 by 0' now parse; noise-word variants and prefix normalization unchanged; genuinely invalid arglists now get the plain excess-values rejection instead of blaming the unrelated optional). REQUIRED arguments are deliberately not screened - the word must fill them and validation's choiceviolation reporting stays informative. -choicerestricted 0 behaviour unchanged. allocation.test GAPs flipped; parse_status -form documented-order behaviour pinned (a prior mis-premise: -form was already supported before the withid/withdef tail per its synopsis).
