- GOALS.md: "Goals-system: v2" front matter; canonical "Goals system versions"
section; Scope structure rule (elements separated by '; ' at top level,
commas only inside parens/braces); Child DOX Index note in root AGENTS.md
- goals_lint.tcl: new finding for top-level commas in Scope lines
(paren/brace depth-aware)
- goals_xref.tcl: repo-local configuration via goals/xref.conf (path roots,
stop words, file extensions, reference containers, module dirs,
bare_path_roots, prefix_anchors); defaults byte-identical to previous
behaviour (verified on this tree)
- goals/AGENTS.md: cross-repo goal references drop the G- prefix; xref.conf
documented in Verification
- Scope delimiter normalisation across GOALS.md, GOALS-archive.md and all
detail files, live and archived: 224 lines, top-level commas only;
conservation verified (goals_xref report byte-identical pre/post, diff
hunks are Scope lines only). Archived tier converted under explicit user
approval; sanctioned exception recorded in GOALS-archive.md.

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.

The G-101/G-105 notes added earlier today referenced G-058 without its
achieved/archive marker - goals_lint flagged both. Marked per the sweep-rule
form (achieved 2026-07-10, archive path).

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.

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 (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.
