Julian Noble	6af0fd541e	punk::args 0.12.0: formcheck on-demand multiform ambiguity analysis + @form -overlapallowed sanction (G-074 achieved) New punk::args::formcheck <id> ?-return dict\|summary?: reports the form pairs of a multiform definition that some argument list could cleanly match simultaneously (the multipleformmatches inputs). Static pairwise pass over the resolved FORMS enumerates each form's positional word-slot chains (leaders then values; -optional and ?-wrapped clause-member branching; -multiple capped; options excluded - order-free), screens aligned equal-length chains per position (discriminator words via choiceword_match, type witnesses from a small table), and CONFIRMS every candidate witness arglist with a real single-form parse against both forms (parse_status - no raise, no user-supplied words, no define/resolve cost). Findings are therefore witnessed - discriminated form pairs cannot false-alarm; misses (exotic types, option-requiring forms, enumeration caps) are the documented conservative direction. Classes: type_weakness (discriminator aligned with a permissive non-validating type - any/none/string/ansistring/globstring/expr/script) vs structural (forms genuinely share an argument shape). New @form key -overlapallowed <formname-list> sanctions a KNOWN overlap on either pair member: the finding reports with sanctioned 1 and leaves the result's unsanctioned list (the actionable/gate subset). Parse behaviour is never affected; unknown form names are rejected at definition resolve (end-of-forms cycle). @form directive doc updated. tclcore moduledoc 0.3.4: the documented after cancelid/cancelscript overlap (runtime-liveness ambiguity, 0.3.0 record) sanctioned on the cancelid form - ::after now reports zero unsanctioned findings while 'after cancel <id-shaped>' still raises multipleformmatches. ::lseq deliberately unsanctioned: formcheck reports range/start_count (witness {1 count 1}) AND range/count (witness {1 by 1}) - both real, both rooted in the expr-typed end slot, kept visible pending an expr syntax-validating type (G-069/G-070). Tests: new args/formcheck.test (7) - no-finding cases (parse withid/withdef pair, afterish/sharedform fixtures), class+sanction fixture, unknown-form rejection, -return summary, ::lseq/::after pins with witnesses re-verified, sanction parse-neutrality. punk::args suite 210/210, punk::ns 57/57. G-074 achieved and archived (acceptance review in the detail file); G-055 verification gate gains the formcheck step (unsanctioned must be empty for regenerated multiform commands).

Julian Noble	2e603413e6	tclcore 0.3.1: after id-shape harvest via tstr placeholders in the argdoc defspace (project 0.12.18) Authoring-style change only, user-directed: the interim %AFTERIDPREFIX% string map is replaced by plain tstr placeholders, with the harvest variable set in the argdoc namespace - the defspace registered PUNKARGS definitions resolve placeholders in when an argdoc child exists (the rule documented in punk::args 0.11.1). One mechanism now serves both the -type parse field (expanded at first resolve) and the -help display fields (expanded at display time); the module showcases the placeholder style, with string map reserved for genuinely build-time cases. Behaviour identical to 0.3.0: resolved -type stringstartswith(after#), form discrimination, parity pins and rendered help re-verified. punk::args 201/202 (1 pre-existing skip), punk::ns 57/57. G-055 workflow note updated to name the tstr-in-argdoc pattern as preferred. Assisted-by: harness=claude; primary-model=claude-fable-5; api-location=anthropic.com	3 days ago
Julian Noble	a3d3088b03	tclcore/G-055: correct the parse-field tstr finding - expansion happens in the argdoc defspace, not never The 0.3.0 record claimed tstr placeholders in non-display fields are not expanded for plain PUNKARGS definitions. Controlled probes show all authoring styles (direct define, registered PUNKARGS, argdoc-subns variable) DO expand parse-field placeholders - the ::after attempt failed because update_definitions resolves registered definitions in the argdoc subnamespace whenever one exists, while the harvest variable had landed in the parent namespace, and an unresolvable param is left silently literal. Module comment, buildversion changelog line and the G-055 workflow note corrected; the silent-literal fallback noted in G-055 as a diagnostic gap (a literal placeholder reaching a parse field is always an authoring error and could warn).

Julian Noble	5a553b4ff3	tclcore 0.3.0: after cancel-id discrimination via harvested id shape (project 0.12.16) The cancelid and info forms' id argument is typed stringstartswith(<prefix>) with the prefix harvested from the running interpreter at define time (safe create+cancel probe; after# on 8.6.11 and 9.0.3) - substituted via a build-time %AFTERIDPREFIX% string map because tstr placeholders in non-display fields are not expanded for plain PUNKARGS definitions (G-046 defers display fields only; noted in G-055 for the regeneration workflow). -typesynopsis id keeps the synopsis as the man page's 'id'; both ids gain man-page-derived help. Effect under G-041 form candidacy: 'i after cancel someid' resolves cleanly to the cancelscript form, matching real Tcl's silent script-match no-op; 'after info <non-id>' is model-rejected where real errors at runtime (parity-true). An id-SHAPED word after cancel stays truthfully ambiguous (cancelid+cancelscript) - real Tcl resolves that junction by id liveness at runtime, which no static type expresses. Dead-id over-acceptance on 'after info' recorded as the accepted runtime-liveness boundary. Tests: three parity pins added in tclcoreparity.test (id-shape harvest agreement with live ids, cancel discrimination incl the liveness ambiguity witness, info error-vs-ok parity + accepted dead-id divergence). punk::args 201/202 (1 pre-existing skip), punk::ns 57/57. Live-verified on punk902z src ('i after cancel someid' renders info scheme). Assisted-by: harness=claude; primary-model=claude-fable-5; api-location=anthropic.com	3 days ago

Julian Noble	7e7d515cd0	G-041 achieved: multi-form matching - automated form selection for parsing and documentation Acceptance reviewed clause-by-clause in the detail file: auto-selection on a unique clean match (forms.test GAPs flipped), candidate-naming noformmatch/multipleformmatches errors, -form list restriction across get_dict/parse/parse_status/arg_error, doc surface presenting the best-matching form(s) ('i after cancel <id>' presents the cancel form; 's after cancel someid' underlines the matching synopsis lines), explicit single -form unchanged, full punk::args/punk::ns suites pass (full tree 822/836 with only the exec-14.3 baseline failure). Flip edits: index entry to GOALS-archive.md (achieved 2026-07-13), detail Status flipped with acceptance review and live-verification record, reference sweep updates G-044 (candidacy API now available - parse_status formstatus), G-055 backlink, G-072 backlink. Detail-file move to goals/archive/ follows as a pure rename; goals_lint transiently unclean between the two commits.

Julian Noble	4707af6fc2	G-041 increment 2: doc surface presents the matching form (punk::ns 0.5.0, punk::args 0.11.0, project 0.12.15) cmdhelp ('i'): the -form option defaults to * (was 0) with parse's list semantics, and both render sites present the form the advisory parse selected - 'i after cancel <id>' presents the cancel form's argument table with its synopsis line underlined; 'i lseq 0 10 2' presents the range form info-scheme. When no form matches, the ranked candidates are passed to arg_error (best candidate's table, all candidates marked, message naming each form's failure); when several forms match, all matching forms are marked under the ambiguity message. punk::ns::synopsis ('s'): trailing argument words after a multiform command path underline the form(s) they match - matching forms from the advisory parse's formstatus, or the best candidate when none fully matches ('s after cancel someid' marks both cancel forms; 's lseq 0 10 2' marks the range form). Ordinal line position maps lines to declaration-order forms in both full and summary renders; marking is skipped under alias-currying excess or an explicit -form. punk::args 0.11.0: the documented @form -synopsis override now renders in punk::args::synopsis full and summary output (arg_error honoured it already) - the adjacent forms.test GAP flipped (forms_form_synopsis_override_rendered). Candidate ranking extended: form_literal_affinity treats required RESTRICTED-choice arguments as discriminators via choiceword_match (the tclcore models express subcommand words as -choices), so 'after cancel' ranks the cancel forms first instead of falling back to declaration order. Real-model findings recorded in the goal detail: 'after cancel someid' is genuinely ambiguous in the doc-faithful model (cancelid vs cancelscript - real Tcl disambiguates semantically); 'lseq 1 count 5' ambiguity traces to the expr-typed operands (noted in G-055 as a model-tightening candidate alongside TIP 746). Tests: cmdhelp.test gains the multiform doc-surface pins (autoselected form presented, noformmatch best-candidate table + candidate naming, synopsis marking present/absent). punk::ns 57/57, punk::args 198/199 (1 pre-existing skip); full source-tree suite in the detail record.

Julian Noble	58da288d45	G-041 prework: if/switch/try/lseq real-vs-model probe findings recorded; punk::args 0.8.2 debug-leak fix (project 0.12.9) Probing (punk902z kit, Tcl 9.0.2) of the tclcore moduledoc models against the real builtins, driven by user concerns about variable-length clauses with optional elements before G-041 activation. Findings recorded in the G-041 detail file (auto-selection evidence on real commands, the allocator prerequisite, parse_status -form gap) and the G-055 detail file (modelability over-acceptance list: try compound handler types, reserved-word clause allocation, "-" fallthrough constraints, switch two-argument option suppression, unvalidated -type expr, TIP 746 version-conditionality for lseq operands; plus the user doc-direction guidance that definitions split into @form entries where source docs simplify). Key result: the per-form models are doc-faithful (lseq.n synopsis maps 1:1; switch separate/block parse correctly under explicit -form; try mixed on/trap interleaving and finally positioning all agree with the real command) - but the value allocator mishandles an optional single-word choice value followed by a required value plus trailing optional-member clause, so lseq range arglists without the ../to noise word ("0 10 2", "0 10 by 2") fail in-form. No lseq form accepts them, so G-041 form selection alone cannot fix "i lseq 0 10 2" - allocator fix flagged as a candidate prerequisite goal. Fix included (punk::args 0.8.2): unconditional debug puts on the clause type-check path (get_dict_can_assign_value) commented, companion to the 0.2.3 find. Full punk::args suite 186 pass / 1 pre-existing skip / 0 fail. Assisted-by: harness=claude; primary-model=claude-fable-5; api-location=anthropic.com	3 days ago
Julian Noble	99af43c8be	goals: G-062 achieved archival + archive-loss prevention (sweep rules, backlink markers, goals_lint) Finalises the G-062 achieved flip staged by the prior session (punkshell 0.12.1): LICENSE.txt (BSD-2-Clause, Julian Marcel Noble 2023-2026) at the repo root, README/punkproject.toml/AGENTS.md license declarations, index record to GOALS-archive.md and detail file to goals/archive/. Archive-loss prevention, from the G-015 incident (its achieved-status verification parenthetical was silently dropped by the 2026-07-11 two-tier restructure's Status-line normalisation; the text is restored to the G-015 archive file's Notes with provenance): - root AGENTS.md 'Doc Restructures': deleted-line conservation check before committing bulk doc migrations, structured-field-normalisation hazard (relocate prose to body sections first), moves separated from edits - goals/AGENTS.md: lintable header field grammar (one line per field, bare Status values), flip-time verification evidence recorded in the body, the archive move content-identical, and a new archive-time reference sweep: pending-tense mentions of the archived goal updated in the live tier, and actionable archived notes pointed to from the affected live goal's Notes - GOALS.md maintenance rules: achieved-flip clause extended to require the evidence write-up and the reference sweep Retroactive reference sweep over all 12 archived goals (25 live detail files): pending-tense fixes (G-002 G-008 G-013 G-016 G-017 G-021 G-022 G-031 G-042 G-044 G-050 - G-017's Goal/Acceptance annotated as gate-satisfied, contract meaning unchanged), forward pointers pushed from archived notes (G-062 license-seeding follow-on -> G-012/G-027, G-037 vendorlib/vfs drift semantics -> G-024, G-058 static-baseline mechanism -> G-005), and one 'Archived-goal references' Notes bullet per remaining referencing file so every live mention of an archived goal is resolvable without consulting the archive index. scriptlib/developer/goals_lint.tcl (new, plain tclsh): validates detail-file header grammar, strict status values in both tiers, orphan rules in both directions, Status/Scope mirror consistency, plus an informational (never fatal) warning for live files referencing an archived goal with no achieved/archive marker - baseline now zero warnings.

Julian Noble	ae04b3f8c9	GOALS: two-tier index restructure - summary-only GOALS.md, canonical Goal/Acceptance in detail files, archive-on-flip - GOALS.md collapsed to summary entries (ID/status/title/Scope/detail pointer): 104.6KB -> 23KB so a full read stays cheap; Scope lines kept verbatim so path-grep goal discovery still works - canonicality split: index canonical for ID/status/title/Scope, detail file canonical for Goal:/Acceptance:; all 61 detail-file headers reconciled from the index (fixes stale copies, e.g. G-036 detail acceptance predated the achieved rework), bodies preserved untouched - detail files created for the three index-only goals G-017, G-034, G-054; every goal now has one - 10 achieved goals (G-007 G-015 G-036 G-037 G-040 G-046 G-049 G-054 G-058 G-059) archived: summary records appended to GOALS-archive.md, detail files moved to goals/archive/; archive-on-flip replaces the ~30-achieved-entries trigger - GOALS.md preamble/rules reworked: read workflow (read index in full, then detail files of scope-intersecting goals before editing), contract spans both tiers with proposal-first unchanged, next-free-ID counts the archive, achieved flip judged against the detail-file Acceptance and includes archiving - progress convention codified from G-001 increment-1 practice: index entries carry status only, never progress; incremental progress lives in the detail file's ## Progress section (landed/remaining); achieved flip requires the remaining-work list resolved - a partial increment never flips a goal - goals/AGENTS.md rewritten for the split (required 4-field header, one detail file per goal, orphan rules covering archive/); root AGENTS.md Child DOX Index + Repo-wide Notes updated; GOALS-archive.md preamble updated - stale detail-file paths updated to goals/archive/ in src/lib/app-punkscript/punkscript.tcl (comment), runtimebash_wsl.test, wslprobe.tcl and the G-042 detail file; propagated copies (root lib/, src/vfs/_vfscommon.vfs, src/_build) left to refresh via normal build steps - no project version bump: governance docs and source comments only, no user-visible shell behaviour Assisted-by: harness=claude; primary-model=claude-fable-5; api-location=anthropic.com	4 days ago
