G-129 achieved 2026-07-27: flip + archive record + reference sweep
Detail file: Status flipped, Context table corrected (the LUCK backport HAS a ::zipfs ensemble - just no root subcommand), Progress + verification records added (both 32-bit kits boot and resolve from their mounts, four 64-bit kits byte-identical before/after, unattributable-mount stderr report demonstrated, both zip offset conventions verified on the backport, kitmountpoint.test 4/4, full suite at the exec-14.3-only baseline). Index entry moved to GOALS-archive. Reference sweep: achieved/archive markers added at the G-129 mentions in G-101, G-024, G-130 and G-131 (pending-tense Approach line rewritten); forward-pointing notes pushed to their targets - G-131 gets the factored-derivation shape, measured mount tables, app/main.tcl hook and the LUCK both-capability probe row; G-123 gets the bin/AGENTS.md kit-wrappable requirements as its publication criterion pointer.

G-129 + G-101: downstream back-pointers to G-131
Both pairs read as one-directional in goals_xref (G-131 -> G-129 scoring 3.55, G-131 -> G-101 scoring 2.03) because the dependency convention has the consumer point at its predecessor. Adding the reverse edge so a reader who opens G-129 or G-101 - the two goals likely to be activated first - sees what is waiting downstream. Non-contract Notes only; neither goal's Goal or Acceptance changes, and both still stand alone. G-129: G-131 generalises its derivation from "where is the zipfs image mounted" to "which container is attached at all". That does not change what G-129 delivers, but it does say something about HOW - keep the derivation factored as a step that answers a question about the running kit rather than inlining a zipfs assumption into the surrounding path assembly, so the metakit arm can be added beside it rather than around it. G-101: this is the more consequential one. G-131 wants a runtime that boots from EITHER container, which bears on how G-101's decision should be FRAMED - if G-131 is wanted, the useful outcome is not "pick one container for 8.6 and close the question" but "establish that metakit is carryable AND that the zipfs backport is carryable, and record which is the default". The file already surveys both candidates and both look additive; the two sections were written independently as competing options, and G-131 is the reason to read them as a possible pair. Recorded explicitly that this does not block G-101's decision - it can still be decided without committing to G-131. goals_xref now reports both pairs as linked.

punk-runtime list/use stop offering support files as runtimes (punkshell 0.27.3)
'bin/punk-runtime.cmd list -platform win32-ix86' listed a LUCK.url shortcut and a tclsh8.6.10-luck-zip.cfg build request as if they were selectable runtimes. Both payloads already filtered support files - .txt/.toml/.tm/.tmp/.log - so the mechanism existed and only the recognised set was too narrow. It was also duplicated across NINE filter sites in three syntaxes (a powershell array, a bash case pattern, a bash grep -E regex), and two of them had already drifted: the "not a selectable runtime" guard omitted .log and matched *_BUILDCOPY without a trailing wildcard. The set is now defined ONCE per payload - $PunkRuntimeSupportExt / Test-PunkRuntimeSupportName in the ps1, punk_support_ext_re / is_punk_support_name in the bash - and every site consults it, so the two payloads cannot drift apart. Their listings are required to agree byte-for-byte and now do so by construction. Recognised support files, by category: docs/text (.txt .md .html .htm .pdf .url), config/metadata (.toml .json .xml .yml .yaml .ini .cfg), dev leftovers (.tm .tmp .log .bak .old), checksums/signatures (.sha1 .sha256 .asc .sig) and archives (.zip .tar .gz .bz2 .xz .7z), plus any *_BUILDCOPY* name. Anything else is still treated as a runtime candidate - deliberately, so a stray binary is visible rather than silently hidden. Verified: the win32-ix86 listing drops from 6 entries to the 4 real runtimes; the bash helpers produce the identical four (the polyglot routes msys bash to the ps1 payload on windows, so the bash side was exercised directly). Re-wrapped per bin/AGENTS.md with checkfile ERROR-free; runtimecmd_roundtrip (byte-identity), runtimecmd_checkfile, runtimecmd_freshness (10/10, both payloads against the fixture server) and runtimebash_wsl (8/8) all pass, as does the full suite at its documented baseline. bin/runtime/README.md now states what a platform folder is FOR (a store tier keyed by the platform a runtime is for, not by this machine) and what is tolerated in it, with the recognised-support-file table and the warning that anything else will be offered as a runtime. It is force-added to git: /bin/* is ignored and a ! negation cannot re-include a file inside an excluded directory, so git add -f is the only mechanism - recorded in the .fossil-settings/AGENTS.md force-tracked one-off list, whose fossil counterpart is an explicit 'fossil add' at the next catch-up checkin. Also records in G-101 a survey of TEMP_REFERENCE/androwish for the zipfs-on-8.6 question the developer raised (non-contract findings; pointer added to TEMP_REFERENCE/AGENTS.md per its contract so the survey is not repeated). The undroidwish zipfs backport is ADDITIVE - generic/zipfs.c (6586 lines) + zipfs.h + a library/zipfs1.0 dir + one object line in the win and unix Makefiles - so it is carryable as a suite patch rather than a fork; it is C rather than C++ like mk4tcl; Tcl_StaticPackage registration is gated on ZIPFS_IN_TCL / ZIPFS_IN_TK, i.e. designed to compile into tcl or tk; and it is Christian Werner's, under the tree's Tcl-style license.terms. Its capability delta against Tcl 9 zipfs is recorded (no 'root', no ::zipfs ensemble, and not registered in child or thread interps), as is the exe-path mount convention that motivates G-129. Provenance of our specimen is established: LUCK is a CGI repacker that selects packages out of a prebuilt vanillatclsh binary's ZIP, so bin/runtime/win32-ix86/tclsh8.6.10-luck-zip.exe is a repack of androwish's own build - a working existence proof of zipfs-on-8.6 rather than a claim. Three open questions are recorded rather than guessed: whether it applies to 8.6.18 (the tree is 8.6.10), whether it builds under the pinned zig, and where the boot-time self-mount hook lives - stock tclAppInit calls Tclzipfs_Init only under #ifdef TCL_TEST, so it is in the vanillatclsh/undroidwish application main, which is also the hook a dual-container autodetecting boot would need.

G-125 achieved: a kit that cannot boot is not deployed (punkshell 0.27.0)
The kit machinery already knew when it had failed to extract anything from a source
runtime, and under G-122 that notice became a recapped BUILD-WARNING - but the build
still assembled an artifact, DELETED the deployed kit and copied the new one over it,
closing running instances of the kit first. Field-observed 2026-07-26: an msys2-hosted
bake of punk91 produced a 49,501,792-byte bin/punk91.exe that failed at startup with
"application-specific initialization failed: Cannot find a usable init.tcl", by which
point the previously working kit was already gone. G-124 removed the particular cause;
this removes the class. A build tool should not make a working executable worse.
A bake now refuses any kit whose merged .vfs supplies no tcl library: the kit is listed
under FAILED KITS with a reason naming the cause and NOTHING is written - no
src/_build/<kit>, no deploy, and the previously deployed bin/<kit> is left byte-identical.
The gate sits immediately after the _vfscommon.vfs + <kit>.vfs merges and before the
kit-type assembly switch, the last point at which no build product exists; a refusal
appends to failed_kits, ends the punkcheck event FAILED and continues, so the punkcheck
records stay consistent with what is on disk. The merged src/_build/<kit>.vfs tree is
deliberately left behind - it is the evidence for the refusal.
It gates on the BOOT PRECONDITION, not on the extraction step having run. Some .vfs
folders legitimately supply their own tcl library (src/vfs/punk8_statictwapi.vfs,
punk9test.vfs and mkzipfix.vfs do today), and those must keep building - so the check
reads the merged tree. It is structural and executes nothing, which also makes it valid
for cross-target kits this host could never run, and costs 0.63ms per kit (measured over
200 iterations against the real src/_build/punk905.exe.vfs), so it runs unconditionally.
The predicate is punkboot::utils::vfs_boot_library_report (0.2.0 -> 0.3.0), called through
a guarded require modelled on the existing get_src_provenance_warnings: a stale or missing
bootsupport snapshot degrades the gate to a NOTE rather than failing every kit. Both
branches were observed live - before the bootsupport propagation 'make.tcl check' reported
UNAVAILABLE, after it ACTIVE. Scope was extended at activation (user-approved) to put the
predicate in that module rather than private to the build script, because a gate that
cannot be exercised cannot be characterized, and punkboot::utils is already where
make.tcl's provenance gate helper lives.
What qualifies as a tcl library: tcl_library/init.tcl (zipfs-attached kits) or
lib/tcl<major>.<minor>/init.tcl (starkit-style), AND at least one companion file beside it
(tm.tcl, package.tcl, auto.tcl, clock.tcl, history.tcl, word.tcl) or an encoding/
directory. The companion test is load-bearing: every punkshell kit carries
lib/BWidget1.10.1/init.tcl, so a check that looked for any init.tcl anywhere would pass a
kit with no tcl library at all. lib/tcllib2.0 is correctly not matched by the lib/tcl[0-9]*
glob. Verified against all 10 assembled trees in src/_build - both conventions are
represented (tcl_library for punk902z/punk905/punk91/punk9_beta/punk9bi_beta/punkmagic,
lib/tcl8.6 for punk86/punkbi/punksys, lib/tcl9.0 for punkshell902).
The no-extraction BUILD-WARNING was reworded from "will not initialise unless src/vfs/<x>
supplies one" - a consequence the build then ignored - to "will FAIL the boot-precondition
gate unless src/vfs/<x> supplies one". It stays a warning rather than becoming the failure,
because a .vfs that supplies its own library needs no extraction.
Verified 2026-07-27 end-to-end against a temporary fixture kit (a mapvfs entry pointing a
zip kit at a payload-free runtime, plus a vfs with no tcl library), with sentinel files
standing in for a previously deployed kit and a previous build product. Across the failing
run bin/punkgatefixture.exe (sha1 2a0700eb...) and src/_build/punkgatefixture.exe (sha1
12c50567...) were byte-identical with unchanged mtimes, and the kit was reported under
FAILED KITS with the cause named. Adding tcl_library/{init.tcl,tm.tcl} to that same fixture
vfs - extraction still yielding nothing - made it build and deploy normally, which is the
other half of the criterion. The fixture was removed afterwards and mapvfs.config restored
byte-identical to its backup. Real-kit bake through the gate: punk905 builds, deploys and
boots.
Characterization: 12 tests in modules/punkboot/utils/testsuites/utils/bootlibrary.test
(both conventions, the companion-file requirement and its BWidget decoy, near-miss
reporting, missing/empty trees, and a sweep asserting every assembled src/_build/*.vfs
tree still passes so the gate cannot fail kits that boot today) and 2 in
shell/testsuites/punkexe/maketclbootgate.test (the ACTIVE/UNAVAILABLE report, ESC-free per
the G-113 piped policy). Existing punkexe suites pass unchanged.
Documented in src/AGENTS.md with the remedy when a kit is refused, in ARCHITECTURE.md
beside the provenance gates, and in the embedded 'make.tcl workflow' data flow as key note
K10 (verified under the default and PUNKBOOT_PLAIN=1 paths, within the 100-column budget).
The achieved flip archives the entry and the detail file, and sweeps the live tier: G-127
(its output location inherits the never-written guarantee as long as the gate stays
upstream of the artifact write, and its payload/target mismatch reporting should share this
vocabulary), G-028 (the sibling "why bin/<kit> was not updated" surface in the same deploy
step) and G-101 (a new container type must land its library where the gate looks, or extend
the location list).

G-124 achieved: dependency-free zip reading in punk::zip (punkshell 0.26.0)
punk::zip could write a zip and split an executable-prefixed one, but nothing in the tree
could READ a zip without zipfs, vfs::zip or tcllib's zipfile::decode - a system package
punkshell does not vendor, with exactly one consumer: make.tcl's zipfs-less kit
extraction. Measured at drafting: msys2's /usr/bin/tclsh8.6 has no tcllib, so a bake
driven from that host could not lift the runtime's own zip (its tcl_library) into the kit
and the artifact did not boot.
punk::zip 0.1.1 -> 0.2.0 adds three commands, stock Tcl only. archive_info reports where
the archive begins inside its host file and which offset convention it uses; members
walks the central directory and returns one dict per entry without decompressing
anything; unzip extracts all or part of it with every member's crc32 verified,
directories materialized, and the writer's 2MB whole-member-vs-streaming threshold
mirrored. All three accept a plain .zip or a zip attached to an executable or script
prefix, so "what is inside this kit / runtime / modpod" is now answerable on a runtime
without zipfs.
The offset derivation is stated once and shared: offsetbase = cdiroffset - diroffset.
Positive means an external preamble with archive-relative offsets, zero means the offsets
are file-relative (or there is no preamble); dataoffset is the split point either way.
Because every surface reads the ORIGINAL file at that base, the file-relative shape stops
being a special case - the broken split-off intermediate is never produced.
tclsh90b4_piperepl.exe is the store's one file-relative artifact: the old
split-then-tcllib path still fails on it with exactly "Bad zip file. Bad closure.", and
it now extracts all 841 members crc-verified in 735ms.
extract_preamble consumes that machinery instead of carrying its own scan, and two
defects went with the refactor: it read 28 bytes of a 30-byte local file header, and it
derived the file-relative base from the FIRST central directory record only (its own
'#todo! loop through all cdr file headers'). The shared walk takes the minimum over ALL
records and then validates that a PK\3\4 really sits there. Its five puts stdout debug
lines are gone.
Refusals are decided for every selected member before any file is opened, so an
unsupported archive cannot leave a half-populated directory: encrypted entries, zip64
size/offset fields, unknown compression methods, crc mismatch (partial file removed) and
member paths that would escape the target are each named. Store and deflate only,
mirroring the writer's own primitives.
make.tcl's zipfs-less extraction now calls punk::zip::unzip on the original runtime and no
longer creates the extracted_<runtime>.zip intermediate. No punkshell code requires
zipfile::decode any more. Two categories of hit remain and are deliberate: tcllib's own
zip/decode.tcl shipped as a LIBRARY inside some .vfs payloads, and one guarded optional
probe inside the vendored third-party ooxml1.10/ooxml.tcl.
First tests punk::zip has ever had (src/tests/modules/punk/zip/), covering the three
archive shapes from one source tree, the introspection output, the named refusals, and
the mkzip -> read round trip - the first coverage that what punkshell WRITES is readable.
Verification, all 2026-07-26. Reference host for the dependency-free claim: msys2
tclsh8.6 8.6.12, probed as zipfs / vfs::zip / zipfile::decode all ABSENT - suite driven
there harness-free, 28 passed, 2 skipped (the zipfs-gated cross-checks only), 0 failed.
30/30 under Tcl 9.0.3, 28 + 2 skipped under native 8.6. Full source-tree suite after the
change: 1142 tests, 1 failure - core/tcl exec-14.3, the documented baseline. Independent
cross-check: 868 members of tclsh905.exe extracted byte-identical against the same
archive mounted with tcl zipfs. Bake demonstration: 'bake -confirm 0 punk905' driven by
the msys2 tclsh8.6 (host=msys-x86_64, target=win32-x86_64) produced
extracted_tclsh905.exe/{tcl_library,lib} with no intermediate .zip, and the deployed kit
boots with tcl_library at //zipfs:/app/tcl_library, 95 encodings, msgcat 1.7.1, http
2.10.2 - and reads itself with the new reader.
Trap worth keeping: zlib stream inflate's 'get' returns only what the stream has already
produced, so one get per put silently truncates a large member to the first few chunks
(measured 327680 of 5048890 bytes on both 8.6.12 and 9.0.3). The inner drain loop is
load-bearing, and the >2MB streaming test exists to catch its removal.
Standing question answered and pinned: zipfs does NOT misidentify punk::zip::mkzip
directories. It keys on the trailing slash (which punk::zip::walk always emits), not the
stored permission bits, exactly as the current cli-999999.0a1.0.tm wording says - the
older, less precise wording survives only in frozen module snapshots under
src/vfs/mkzipfix.vfs and src/vfs/project.vfs. The real difference from zipfs mkzip is
that zipfs writes no directory entries at all.
The achieved flip archives the entry and the detail file, and sweeps the live tier: G-034
(the reader is its extract-rather-than-mount alternative, plus the measured finding that
make.tcl on 8.6 cannot mount its own templates modpod), G-101 (the read half of a
zipfs-less 8.6 container is solved), G-125 (the gate now has a named failure reason to
report), G-126 (the member-dict keys and fixture set its parity suite must reproduce, and
a back-pointer to G-128 whose only recorded bridge was this goal), G-128 (archive_info
answers "is this artifact safe to move the overlay of?" in one call).
One acceptance clause is reported for review rather than claimed silently: "NO
zipfile::decode requirement remains anywhere in the shipped tree" is satisfied for
punkshell's own code, with the vendored-third-party residue named above.
The archived detail file's diff is a rename plus the flip's evidence write-up.

G-124/G-125/G-126 drafted (user-approved): punk::zip reader, unbootable-kit deploy gate, vendored punkzip accelerator
Three goals arising from the G-122 work, each drafted with its overlap survey and approved before writing. G-124 - dependency-free zip reading in punk::zip. Nothing in the tree can READ a zip without zipfs, vfs::zip or tcllib's zipfile::decode, which is a system package punkshell does not vendor and which has exactly one consumer: make.tcl's zipfs-less kit extraction. The goal removes that requirement outright (not as an optional fallback), adds an introspection surface so punk::zip is useful to script programmers, and gives the writer its first round-trip coverage. Measured motivation recorded in the detail file: msys2's tclsh8.6 has no tcllib and so bakes an unbootable kit, and extract_preamble's live '#todo - need to adjust offsets' means a FILE-relative prefixed executable (tclsh90b4_piperepl.exe) splits into a .zip tcllib rejects with "Bad closure" - reading the original file at its derived base offset removes that failure mode by construction. G-125 - a kit that cannot boot is not deployed. Today a failed extraction emits a recapped BUILD-WARNING and then deletes and replaces the deployed kit anyway; field- observed 2026-07-26 replacing a working punk91.exe with one that dies on init.tcl. The gate tests the boot precondition on the assembled vfs, so a kit whose payload legitimately supplies its own tcl library still builds. G-126 - punkzip as a VENDORED zip accelerator behind G-124's pure-Tcl floor, with zig kept optional (a tclsh-only clean checkout must still build and bake). Feasibility measured and recorded: the source builds clean under its declared zig 0.15.2, and under 0.16 fails on one surfaced error (std.process.argsAlloc), with the OS-facing surface confined to 3 of ~20 files while the ~10k-line compression core is untouched; zig 0.16.0 is already unpacked in bin/tools. Benchmarks captured for the speedup claim. Non-contract Notes back-pointers added to G-034 (the reader is a candidate for its own Acceptance's "alternative modpod mount path" branch) and G-101 (an 8.6 container has no zipfs, so it needs a reader that works without one).

f4031b209f |
G-101 pre-activation survey: reference inventory + sdx wrap.tcl provenance capture
Notes-only on the goal; the new tracked material is the sdx patch capture. G-101 gains four sections and an extended Scope line naming the surveyed trees and bin/sdx.kit: a reference-material inventory giving the metakit boot chain in reading order with file:line anchors (kbskit kitInit.c pre-init -> boot.tcl raw mk::select bootstrap -> setupvfs.tcl -> mk4tcl.cpp Mk4tcl_Init, with KitCreator's storage-switch variant as the comparison reference for scoping cookfs/zipvfs); sdx provenance; the self-mount shadowing gotcha; and metakit-under-Tcl-9 feasibility. Two findings bear on the container choice: 8.6's core zlib cannot do mk4vfs streaming (kbskit boot.tcl states it - forces whole-blob decompression, relevant to a battery-carrying kit), and TEMP_REFERENCE/metakit is UNPATCHED upstream while KitCreator carries eight 8.x-era fixes. Self-mount shadowing verified live rather than inferred: inside a running tclkit [file type [info nameofexecutable]] is 'directory', so a kit cannot read or copy itself as a file and cannot be handed to sdx as -runtime (wrap.tcl LoadHeader is a plain file read). make.tcl:4995-5005 already works around this with _BUILDCOPY; recorded as a requirement to preserve. Container-agnostic - zipfs has the same shape via its /app anchor. src/buildsuites/suite_tcl86/patches/ captures the bin/sdx.kit delta into tracked form. bin/sdx.kit is tracked and is what make.tcl resolves for the 'kit' wrap path, but it is NOT stock sdx: unwrapping it and stock 2011-03-17 sdx gives 64 identical files except lib/app-sdx/wrap.tcl, whose entire difference is a two-line binary-mode read of tclkit.inf before stringfileinfo patches the PE version resource. That evidence previously existed only in gitignored scratch/ and TEMP_REFERENCE/ copies - one git clean from gone. Stock baseline, patched file and diff are all byte-exact (hashes in the README); the patch round-trips to the patched file byte for byte under 'patch --binary'. The stock baseline is kept in full because upstream (svn://svn.equi4.com/sdx/trunk) no longer exists. Both .tcl files are CRLF and must stay CRLF - vendored fidelity artifacts, exempt from the repo's LF-on-edit preference. Scope-limiting facts recorded rather than assumed: the patched path is DORMANT for present builds (fires only with -runtime + a .exe runtime + a tclkit.inf in the source .vfs, and no tclkit.inf exists in this repo), and the fix itself is UNVERIFIED - plausible as a CRLF-corruption fix but no reproducer was recorded with it. Confirming or retiring it is part of this goal's characterization work, alongside the bootstrap circularity noted in the goal (sdx.kit is itself a metakit starkit, so wrapping a suite-built 8.6 runtime currently needs a prebuilt third-party tclkit of exactly the kind G-101 exists to replace). Of the two proposed acceptance riders, this commit discharges the first (capture the patch before any sdx rebuild). The second stands: the end-to-end demonstration must wrap a SEPARATE COPY of the runtime so the shadowing path is exercised rather than accidentally avoided. A back-pointer to these findings was added to TEMP_REFERENCE/AGENTS.md so the survey is not repeated; that tree is VCS-ignored, so it is not part of this commit.

G-100 achieved: suite_tcl86 dependency set (Tk 8.6, tklib, tcllib + tcllibc) and an 8.6 runtests census
Extends the 8.6 buildsuite with the remaining pieces punkshell's Tcl 8 testing
depends on, all built from source with the pinned zig 0.16.0 toolchain only.
Tk 8.6.17 (build_tk86/build_tk86.zig) is a RE-DERIVATION from the staged 8.6
win/makefile.vc + rules.vc, not a port of suite_tcl90's build_tk.zig:
- no generic/tkPkgConfig.c in 8.6 -> no CFG_* defines at all
- rules.vc TCL_MAJOR_VERSION==8 arm -> tk86t.dll + lib/tk8.6 (vs tcl9tk90.dll)
- @TK_WIN_VERSION@ substitutes $(DOTVERSION).0.0, not the tcl-style
<dotversion>.<releaselevel>.<patchlevel> formula
- 8.6 TKOBJS carries no tkIcu/tkImgListFormat/tkImgSVGnano/tkWinGDI/tkWinIco/
tkWinSysTray; XLIBOBJS is a first-class makefile macro here (the 9.0
derivation had to recover those files by hand)
USE_TCL_STUBS + USE_TCLOO_STUBS against libtclstub86.a is the stock rules.vc
arrangement and keeps the dll loadable by both suite shells. tkMain.c is
compiled twice per makefile.vc, the ansi copy forced with -UUNICODE/-U_UNICODE
(verified the pinned zig cc defines neither for x86_64-windows-gnu, so the 8.6
core's ANSI/TCHAR arrangement is matched exactly).
tklib 0.9 and tcllib 2.0 install via their own installer.tcl (batch, packages
only, explicit -pkg-path so the installer's tcl_pkgPath-derived default can
never write off-tree); tcllibc is built by critcl 3.3.1 driving zig cc (tracked
critcl_zig.config, target pinned win32-x86_64-zig - critcl otherwise probes PATH
and falls back to its builtin msvc target). critcl compiles against its own
bundled headers chosen by the driving shell's version, which is why one config
serves both generations.
New evidence tools, run on every build:
tools/tk_smoke.tcl maps a real toplevel with classic + themed widgets,
updates, then destroys it - a load-only check passes
even with no usable display
tools/accel_bench.tcl same payload through sha1's critcl and pure-Tcl
implementations with the digests compared:
4MB -> critcl 5.7ms vs pure-tcl 2736ms = 477x
Test tiers (G-107 policy pattern): test-tcllib/test-tklib on the record tier
inside test-libraries, plus an opt-in test-tk (winDialog/winMsgbox excluded by
default - their message-injection automation blocks on a human under a batch
shell). First censuses on tclsh86ts.exe 8.6.18:
thread 142 run / 0 failed GATE PASS
tklib 796 run / 0 failed record
tcllib 64259 run / 41 failed record (names in the summary artifact)
tclvfs 51 run / 4 failed GATE PASS after baseline extension
The tclvfs baseline grew vfsFtp-1.1..1.3: they sit behind an 'ftp' constraint
needing tcllib's ftp package - absent at the G-099 capture, satisfied now that
the suite installs tcllib - so they run and reach the retired ftp.tcl.tk, the
same external-service class already baselined for vfsUrl-1.2/2.1.
punkshell runtests census (both runs 2026-07-26, identical flags, default
single-process sequential - 8.6 has no tcl::process so -jobs re-convoys):
native Tcl 8.6.17 1003 total / 986 passed / 10 skipped / 7 failed
suite tclsh86ts 1003 total / 987 passed / 10 skipped / 6 failed
runtests_parity.tcl finds exactly ONE difference: punkcheck
concurrency_two_writers_no_corruption failed in the BASELINE run and passed on
the suite runtime - a full-suite-load flake (6/6 twice in isolation on both
runtimes). Zero suite-runtime-only failures. Tk-dependent suites ran unskipped
(repl consolebackends 3/3, including the tkconsole backend on the suite Tk).
Two defects fixed in passing:
- scrubTclEnv never cleared TCL<major>_<minor>_TM_PATH, so suite shells
silently preferred machine/repo tm modules over what the suite had just
installed (a repo-built sha1-2.0.4.tm shadowed tcllib's 2.0.5, md5 2.0.8
shadowed 2.0.9) - any census through such a shell measures the machine. The
scrub list now covers TCL8_0..8_7 + TCL9_0/9_1 in all three sites (per-step,
suite.tcl process-level, bootstrap nested build). suite_tcl90 has the same
exposure via TCL9_0_TM_PATH and is deliberately untouched here (out of this
goal's scope) - pointers recorded in G-108 and G-116.
- build.zig.zon's .fingerprint was hand-authored, so 'zig build' from the
tracked suite dir died with 'invalid fingerprint' - the no-tclsh bootstrap
flow could never have run. Corrected to zig's computed value (its low half
is a checksum of the package name); 'zig build stage' now verified.
Goal flipped to achieved 2026-07-26 and archived; reference sweep updated G-005,
G-101, G-105 and ARCHITECTURE.md, and the archive-time xref pair G-101 <-> G-116
(whose only bridges were the archived G-100/G-103) gained a direct Related
pointer. No project-version bump - arm's-length build tooling, not shipped shell
behaviour.

G-099 achieved: suite_tcl86 zig buildsuite for Tcl 8.6 (runtime, thread 2.8, tclvfs, core-test gate)
Builds a Tcl 8.6.18 windows runtime from core-8-6-branch sources with the
pinned zig 0.16.0 toolchain only (no MS toolchain), forked from suite_tcl90
(duplication-with-a-note posture). Products (stock threaded-release naming -
rules.vc keeps the 't' SUFX on 8.6):
bin/tcl86t.dll + tcl86t.lib shared core (static zlib compiled in; no zlib1.dll)
bin/tclsh86ts.exe static shell (kit-class; dde/registry static)
bin/tclsh86t.exe dynamic shell against the dll
lib/libtclstub86.a stub lib for extensions
lib/tcl8.6/... script library tree (dde/reg dlls inside)
lib/tcl8/{8.5,8.6}/... tm modules; lib/thread2.8.13, lib/vfs1.4.2
Companions: thread 2.8.13 (thread2813t.dll, TEA installed shape from the
checkout's own pkgIndex.tcl.in) and tclvfs 1.4.2 (vfs142t.dll) build and load;
registry 1.3.5 / dde 1.4.6. No zipfs in 8.6 - exe+dll+on-disk lib tree only,
resolved hermetically (exe/dll-relative, TCLLIBPATH/TCL_LIBRARY unset in all
child runs).
Recipe: build86.zig + build_common.zig + build_zlib86/build_tclthread86/
build_tclvfs86 helpers; tools/ and src/main.zig copied verbatim (suite-agnostic).
Two load-bearing 8.6 findings recorded in the README DERIVATION and recipe
comments: MP_FIXED_CUTOFFS (the in-core libtommath ships no bn_cutoffs.c) and
TCL_BROKEN_MAINARGS + console subsystem for the gcc-class main() entry.
Test gates (suite.tcl test -> zig build test-gate/test-libraries) parse all.tcl
totals (exit codes untrusted) and gate against tracked dispositioned baselines.
First census + two-consecutive-run deterministic PASS (machine SuperBee):
core 46525 run / 2 failed (filename-16.12/16.13 admin-share self-globbing)
thread 142 run / 0 failed (empty baseline)
tclvfs 51 run / 2 failed (vfsUrl-1.2/2.1 external ftp.tcl.tk dependency)
Goal flipped to achieved 2026-07-26 and archived; reference sweep updated G-005,
G-100 (now unblocked), G-101 and ARCHITECTURE.md. No project-version bump
(arm's-length build tooling, not shipped shell behaviour).

G-121 achieved 2026-07-26: flip + archive record + reference sweep
Acceptance verified in full (evidence recorded in the detail file's Progress section): bakelist under plain tclsh + punk902z with per-entry presence and deployed state; selective 'bake punk91' refreshing only that kit's _build/bin artifacts and punkcheck records (stat + punkcheck diffs, negative grep clean); unknown-name no-build errors; bare bake kit-set parity; help/workflow contract updates; maketclbakelist.test 4 PASS; punkshell 0.24.0 minor bump. Index entry moved to GOALS-archive.md. Reference sweep: no pending-tense live-tier mentions existed; mapvfs.config pointer updated to the archive path; forward-pointing notes pushed as back-pointers to the live goals they serve (G-024 parsed-model reader swap, G-023 scheme-expansion entry point, G-115 per-kit payload detail, G-057 single-kit icon verification, G-028 deployed -state reporting sibling, G-101 kit-type non-assumption). Detail-file move to goals/archive/ follows in the adjacent commit as a pure rename (root AGENTS.md Doc Restructures).

G-120 achieved: flip, archive, reference sweep (std-slot recycling restored)
Acceptance verified on the rebuilt punk91 kit (plain script mode): recipe 'chan close stderr; open NUL w' yields a channel auto-named stderr with working puts stderr; console+repl+libunknown suites 105/105. Detail file archived content-identically with evidence recorded; GOALS-archive record appended; sweep: G-101 launch-ladder item (2) rewritten to reflect achievement (in-place stdio repair now available on the 9.1 kit), G-011 gains a recycled-stderr consumer pointer. goals_xref report shows no orphaned shared-archived-ref bridges for G-120; goals_lint clean.

G-103 achieved: runtime kit family - flip, archive, reference sweep (wrap trial PASS)
Final acceptance item closed by the punk9_beta/punk9bi_beta kit-wrap trial (user go-ahead; quiet tree): make.tcl project wrapped both kits over the family runtimes (the user's own earlier same-day build agreed - punkcheck no-change), and probes UNDER each kit verified 9.0.5, //zipfs:/app/tcl_library, PIPEREPL MACHINERY PRESENT, Thread 3.0.7 winning over the vfs payload's legacy thread3.0.1, vfs/tcllib/tcllibc engaged, punk::args from the vfs side, and Tk create/destroy in both - punk9bi_beta's Tk necessarily from the runtime's attached image (punk9win_for_tkruntime.vfs carries none). Every acceptance clause is now met; evidence recorded in the detail file. Flip mechanics: Status achieved 2026-07-22; detail file to goals/archive/ (content-identical move after edits); index entry to GOALS-archive.md; reference sweep across 13 live goal files (archive markers per the G-058 precedent - non-contract text only, Scope lines untouched; pending-tense updates in G-099 arc-unblocked, G-108 family production landed, G-018/G-023 naming-authority pointers). Forward pointers pushed to live goals: G-101 (8.6-family deferral target), G-067 (family -rN artifacts exist; publication user-gated with the defaults.txt flip process). Flagged (completion report): tcltls bi-battery line loses its goal home with this archive - candidate goal on request; punk9wintk905.vfs legacy thread3.0.1 payload cleanup can ride a future payload refresh; beta promotion is the user's interactive trial per the *_beta convention.

goals: record tclkit dynamic-libc insight + TIP 741 temp-cleanup characterization
Self-contained-but-loads-binaries (the tclkit model) resolved: tclkitsh binaries are self-contained via an embedded Metakit/zip VFS yet DYNAMICALLY linked to libc - that dynamic libc is what makes dlopen/'load' work; extensions reach Tcl via the stubs table handed through the interp (no host symbol export needed). "Self-contained" and "static libc" are orthogonal. - G-105 (Notes were empty): the dynamic-libc first-linux-target choice is the tclkit model; fully-static-musl 'load' limitation stands; compiled-in alternative is G-058. - G-101 (Notes were empty): the prebuilt tclkit86bi/tclkit-win64-dyn runtimes it replaces are dynamic-libc Metakit kits; loadable binary batteries imply a dynamic-libc runtime; container choice is orthogonal to libc linking. - G-103: temp-copy dll cleanup wart the family runtimes inherit - Tcl core TIP 741 (DRAFT, windows-framed: TclpFinalizeLoad; extract-to-temp preserved vs TIP 709). Requirement (user): test on ALL target platforms (windows, linux/WSL, G-060 guests) that temp-dll/dir accumulation does not happen or is characterized. Applies to G-101's Metakit kits too. - G-060: one-line cross-platform test item pointing at the G-103 requirement. Notes only; no contract changes. goals_lint clean.

G-103..G-105 [proposed]: runtime kit family, make.tcl buildsuite surface, cross-target builds
User requirements batch 2026-07-20 integrated: - G-103 runtime kit family: buildsuites produce self-contained kits whose info library and batteries live in the initially attached zip - PLAIN tclsh kit (Thread + tclvfs/vfs::* + tcllib/tcllibc), PUNK kit (piperepl applied, ENABLED BY DEFAULT with env opt-out - gating review agreed; the plain kit serves stock semantics), BI kits adding libraries we build (Tk now; sqlite3/tdom easy/moderate futures; twapi flagged needs-investigation under the zig-only policy). tcllib+tcllibc in all members (user lean, agreed). Artifact metadata in punkbin (+compatible repos) surfaced by the runtime scriptset list/use. G-018 flagged as substantially subsumed. 8.6 variant deferred through G-101 (static-vfs/metakit questions noted there). - G-104 make.tcl buildsuite surface: list / info <suite> / build <suite> with suites SELF-describing (info contract survives the G-102 driver migration; copied trees appear automatically). mapvfs single-kit/list wishes noted as sibling ergonomics. - G-105 cross-target builds: -target as an invocation dimension (suite folders stay version-named), linux x86_64 first verified via local WSL with its own test baseline; zig tier findings VERIFIED and recorded - the freebsd asymmetry suspicion is inverted (freebsd AS TARGET was the gap, closed in zig 0.16 for FreeBSD 14+ with CI-tested x86_64/aarch64; building FROM freebsd was already fine); macOS-as-target (SDK/frameworks) recorded as the hard case; fully-static-musl dlopen limitation drives a dynamic first linux target. Cross-edits: G-096 piperepl matrix gains the kit-default policy update (punk kits opt-out not opt-in); G-101 records the 8.6 kit-family dependency; G-102 notes the family/target/surface as build-graph products. goals_lint clean.

G-098 achieved; propose 8.6 arc: G-099 suite_tcl86 buildsuite, G-100 Tk/tcllib set, G-101 kit container strategy
G-098 (suite_tcl90 Tk+tklib, tcllib/tcllibc via critcl, test gating) flipped to achieved 2026-07-20 and archived - all acceptance items recorded in the goal file across increments 1-7 (Tk 9.0.2 + tklib, tcllib+tcllibc ~248x hashing speedup, parsed-totals test gate with dispositioned baseline, full punkshell runtests parity with the Tcl903 baseline including Tk suites unskipped, kit-hosted runs fixed). New proposed goals mirror the arc for fossil core-8-6-branch (8.6 stays punkshell's real Tcl 8 target; current punk86-class kits ride prebuilt third-party tclkits - a provenance gap): - G-099: suite_tcl86 core - zig-only 8.6 runtime + thread 2.8-branch + tclvfs + parsed-totals core-test gate with its own dispositioned baseline. Records expected differences (no zipfs, entry-point/bundled lib divergences, no tcl::process). - G-100: Tk 8.6 + tklib + tcllib/tcllibc via critcl on the 8.6 runtime + punkshell runtests census against a native 8.6 kit baseline. - G-101: kit container strategy without zipfs (metakit/tclkit lineage vs cookfs vs zipvfs boot; TEMP_REFERENCE/metakit + KitCreator guidance) - separated so the well-understood ports stay incrementally landable. Sequencing recorded in each goal: recommendation is to close G-096's remainder and run the punk905_beta trial to promotion before activating the 8.6 arc, so shared suite scaffolding settles before it is forked. goals_lint clean.
