New 'make.tcl vfslibs' step (also run inside 'make.tcl project' before kit vfs
assembly): propagates declared vendored platform-library packages into kit vfs
lib_tcl<N> trees, ending the hand-copying that let kits ship a known-buggy
tcludp through three make invocations (the G-036/G-037 motivating case).
- declaration: src/runtime/vendorlib_vfs.toml, parsed with bootsupport tomlish
(no ad-hoc parsing; G-024's mapvfs toml conversion NOT required first - this
file is recorded as a candidate for absorption into it). [install.<name>]
entries: source (relative to src/), targets (kit vfs lib folders relative to
src/vfs/), optional supersedes (folder names removed from each target before
install - explicit, no silent mixed-version provision per G-035 concerns).
- participation is per-package per-kit; authority is the declaration - nothing
syncs undeclared, so the known vendorlib/kit twapi drift is deliberately
untouched (resolves the direction/authority design question).
- punkcheck provenance at src/vfs/.punkcheck (gitignored, outside kit
payloads); skip-if-unchanged proven (rerun: 0 copied, 9 skipped per target);
malformed/unresolvable entries fail the build naming the entry (exit 3).
- 8.6 kits upgraded (the G-036 loose-end decision, recorded): tcludp 1.0.13 is
dual-generation (pkgIndex selects tcl9udp1013.dll on 9+, udp1013t.dll on
8.5+) so the single vendorlib_tcl9 source serves punk8win.vfs/lib_tcl8;
superseded udp1.0.12 removed.
- verified on rebuilt kits: punksys/punkbi (8.6.13) and punk902z (9.0.2) all
report package require udp == 1.0.13 loading the generation-appropriate dll
from their vfs; no udp1.0.12 remains under src/vfs; punksys piped-shell exit
smoke clean.
- G-037 flipped proposed -> achieved 2026-07-08 under user direction (no
intermediate active stop).
- includes project-build byproducts via established channels: bootsupport
snapshots refreshed to punk-0.2.1 / punk::lib-0.3.0 (from today's version
bumps) and make.tcl synced into layout copies.
- project 0.4.8 (CHANGELOG entry)
