make.tcl modules/vfscommonupdate/bootsupport regeneration for increment 2:
_vfscommon.vfs/punkboot/core.tcl regenerated from the committed _config
master (every kit's merge now carries the boot core); layout copies of
src/make.tcl (basic, project-0.1, templates modpod source) pick up the
vfscommonupdate boot-core delivery step via the modules-step sync, with the
repacked punk::mix templates-0.2.0.tm promoted to _vfscommon and bootsupport.

punk_main.tcl is now the thin project-owned main: publishes launch_args +
main_script, declares (empty) project_subcommands and launch_defaults at
==CUSTOMIZE== points, locates the boot core and sources it. Core candidates:
<vfsroot>/punkboot/core.tcl (in-kit via the _vfscommon merge), parent-dir
punkboot/core.tcl (nested app/main.tcl, undroidwish G-129), sibling
punkboot_core.tcl master (source-tree execution - the kitmountpoint
characterization shape). punkboot_core.tcl carries the boot machinery
extracted verbatim from the monolith; delta beyond extraction: contract
preamble with serviceable defaults, normscript from ::punkboot::main_script
instead of [info script], registration-model subcommand selection (project
additions merge in, built-ins cannot be shadowed, declared noargs/unknownfirst
defaults) with a dispatching default arm, ::punkboot::core_version 0.1.0.
make.tcl vfscommonupdate now regenerates _vfscommon.vfs/punkboot/core.tcl
from the _config master.
Parity evidence: full punkexe suite 110 pass / 0 fail against freshly baked
punk902z; kitmountpoint 4/4 across 8.6-backport / 32-bit-modern / 64-bit
runtimes incl the unattributed-mount stderr pin; registration model exercised
end-to-end via a scratch kit; 11-kit default bake with only known-baseline
warnings; punk86 (metakit/starkit, tcl 8.6.17) smoke green. cookfs branch
carried verbatim - no cookfs kit is currently mapped in mapvfs.toml to
exercise it (stale bin/punk9cook.exe is an old vintage, untouched).

make.tcl modules/bootsupport/vfscommonupdate regeneration for increment 1:
utils-0.7.0.tm replaces 0.6.2 in src/bootsupport/modules and
src/vfs/_vfscommon.vfs/modules - the collision gate is now live for
make.tcl's guarded require (probed: a bootsupport-only tm path serves
0.7.0 and a collision fixture reports ok=0 status=collision). Layout
copies of src/make.tcl (basic, project-0.1, templates modpod source +
repacked punk::mix templates-0.2.0.tm in bootsupport/vfscommon) carry the
same gate hunks via the modules-step sync channel.

A source .vfs carrying an actual root main.tcl AND a root fauxlink resolving
to main.tcl (or several such fauxlinks) baked whichever boot script merge
traversal met last - merge_over's fauxlink branch overwrites without warning.
New punkboot::utils::vfs_startup_script_report (0.7.0) censuses root
startup-script suppliers by RESOLVED fauxlink name (empty-nominalname links
included; nested app/main.tcl exempt per G-129). make.tcl consumes it with
the same guarded-require degradation as the G-125/G-133/G-134 checks and
refuses affected kits per-kit under FAILED KITS before any build product is
written - kits from other folders proceed, deployed binaries untouched.
Fixture characterization: startupscript.test (12 tests incl. a
real-source-tree sweep proving today's folders are collision-free);
bootlibrary.test re-run green. Outputs (mint 0.7.0 + bootsupport/vfscommon
promotion) follow in a separate commit.

Scope adds src/vfs/README.md (boot-entry guidance), the punk::args moduledoc
home and the make.tcl collision gate. Goal/Acceptance now require:
project_main.tcl reborn as the commented thin-main sample, README boot-entry
sections (repo + project-0.1 layout via sync channels), a punk::args::moduledoc
package for the boot-core API shipped via _vfscommon, and per-kit bake refusal
when a source .vfs carries both a root main.tcl and a main.tcl fauxlink
(today silently traversal-order-dependent - merge_over fauxlink branch
overwrites unwarned). Approach/Alternatives/Notes record the 2026-08-02
evidence: project_main.tcl unmapped in mapvfs.toml (layout-template-only),
tomlish shared-_config + sample.vfs drop-in exhibits, moduledoc::punkexe
delivery precedent. Status remains proposed - activation is a separate flip.

User-directed follow-on to G-155 (2026-08-02): with punkshell alpha,
single-machine build infra and no evidenced third-party users, the

- goals/G-156-alpha-window-identifier-alignment.md: contract (proposed) -
punkcheck installer-identity migration (mint-named surface + ledger
strategy: rewrite vs rebuildable-cache re-record), BUILDCOPY -> BAKECOPY,

Pure-rename move goals/G-101-tcl86-kit-container-strategy.md ->

G-131 Depends-on rewritten (the metakit arm now EXISTS - kithead step,
kithead.c/boot.tcl = the mk4 half of its detection; zipfs-backport open
items move there); G-130 both pending-tense sites updated (mk4 decided,
ix86 head = follow-on parity item 4); G-110 gains the measured
dll-from-vfs temp-copy fact; G-141/G-147 survey mentions gain achieved
markers; archived G-153 record+detail Scope path fixed (goals/ ->
goals/archive/, the sanctioned broken-path fix). xref report: no

Increment 3 - the kit-head (opt-in suite step "kithead"):
- build_kithead86/kithead.c: static Mk4tcl+vfs registration, preinit
reading boot.tcl from the exe's own mk4 file, post-init main.tcl pivot
(kbskit kitInit.c reduced to the 8.6 mk4 case; the 8.6.18 headers have
no Tcl_StaticLibrary - stock tclAppInit.c's file-local compat define
mirrored).
- build_kithead86/boot.tcl: kbskit boot.tcl mk4-only/8.6-only (tclInit
override, raw mk::select hand-eval of vfsUtils/vfslib/mk4vfs, mount +
encoding remount, in-kit init.tcl, auto_path reset).
- tools/mk4kit_attach.tcl: setupvfs role under the suite dynamic shell
(mount rw, lib trees + lf-normalized boot.tcl, tclvfs scripts with the
pkgIndex vfs entry rewritten to "load {} vfs").
- build86.zig: kithead exe (core+reg/dde+stubs as tclsh86ts, two-anchor
tclAppInit overlay, engine+binding via build_mk4tcl86 pub lists, static
tclvfs w/ STATIC_BUILD); artifact bin/tclsh8.6.18-mk4-r1.exe; smoke
asserts info library INSIDE the exe. No rechan needed (vfslib memchan
rides 8.6 reflected channels).
Increment 4 - the demonstration (hermetic env, PATH=System32, bare dir):
- head boots with library inside itself on a Tcl-free path;
- the RUNNING head ran sdx and wrapped a SEPARATE COPY of itself
(self-mount rider as specified);
- the starpack runs main.tcl from inside, reads vfs data, loads a
kit-only package, and loads thread2813t.dll FROM the vfs (dll clause
measured, not inherited).
Goal detail: Progress 3+4, Assessment (four candidates vs the four kit
expectations), Decision (mk4 = the 8.6 container and punk86 default;
zipfs backport stays the recorded G-131 second arm), Follow-on-to-parity
list; Status -> achieved 2026-08-02. Archive move follows separately.

sdx.kit runs under the suite-built tclsh86t with NO tclkit in the chain:
starkit 1.3.3 + vfs::mk4 1.10.1 resolve from the suite-installed
lib/vfs1.4.2 (tclvfs trunk ships both scripts - the fact the 2026-07-26
survey missed), Mk4tcl 2.4.9.8 is the increment-1 fork-built battery, and
the wrap surface is proven not just the launch: qwrap WROTE an mk4 kit,
lsk/unwrap read it back, and the wrapped kit itself runs under tclsh86t
mounted at its own path. Goal detail: sdx-section RESOLVED marker +

lazy record (url+hash re-verified live via zig fetch at landing).

(mk4tcl.cpp + bundled mk4too.cpp, USE_TCL_STUBS + BUILD_Mk4tcl) against
the suite stub lib; package version parsed from the staged
Tcl_PkgProvide; installs lib/mk4tcl2.4.9.8/{Mk4tcl.dll,pkgIndex.tcl}.
- build86.zig: build-mk4tcl step + install hook, pkg_smoke gains Mk4tcl,
