The new 'src' package_mode loads unbuilt modules and libraries from the project's src/ tree (src/modules, src/lib, src/bootsupport, src/vendormodules) instead of built output. It differs from 'dev' mode which points at built <projectroot>/modules. The src mode also runs an inline #modpod package-ifneeded scanner using Tcl builtins only (since no punk modules are loaded at boot time) and sets package prefer latest so 999999.0a1.0 dev modules are preferred over stable bootsupport/vendored copies. The exhaustive permutation switch for package_mode parsing was replaced with token-by-token validation that scales to any number of modes. Verified: punk902z src launches an interactive shell with package provide punk returning 999999.0a1.0.
The codethread init_script now propagates package prefer via a new %packageprefer% scriptmap entry. The code interp (punk/0 repltype) creation replaces the manual epoch-only copy with punk::lib::interp_sync_package_paths code -libunknown 1, which propagates tm list, auto_path, package prefer, and libunknown epoch+init from the codethread to the code interp. This fixes the issue where package prefer latest set in punk_main.tcl was not inherited by the REPL's code interp, causing 999999.0a1.0 dev modules to be passed over in favour of stable VFS-bundled versions.
snapshot_package_paths returns a script string reproducing the caller's tcl:™️:list, auto_path, and package prefer for use in thread::create init scripts. With -libunknown 1 it also copies the punk::libunknown epoch and sources+inits libunknown in the target. interp_sync_package_paths now propagates package prefer (was missing) and accepts optional -libunknown 1 flag for epoch copy + libunknown init in the child interp. Both procs have PUNKARGS argdoc documentation. Includes 6 tcltest tests covering basic propagation, version selection with package prefer latest, ordering preservation, snapshot script validity, -libunknown flag, and regression.
Both tm_path_additional_ifneeded call sites now pass \ as required by the 0.3.0 API. The second call site also passed the wrong path (../modules instead of ../modules_tcl\) due to a copy-paste bug, so Tcl-major-specific #modpod modules were never scanned. Added a zipper #modpod verification test that confirms package require zipper resolves to the 999999.0a1.0 #modpod version via the ifneeded mechanism and that initialize/addentry/finalize work correctly. All 4 tests pass under tclsh90.
tm_path_additional_ifneeded referenced an out-of-scope \ variable that was never a parameter or local, causing 'can't read project_root: no such variable' whenever a #modpod module was found. The proc now requires project_root as a 2nd parameter. Additionally, the #modpod directory pattern was hardcoded to 999999.0a1.0 which the build system replaces with the real version (e.g 0.3.0) during make.tcl modules — breaking pattern matching in built bootsupport copies that looked for #modpod-*-0.3.0 directories which don't exist on disk. The proc now extracts both modname and version dynamically from the #modpod-<modname>-<version> directory name by splitting on the last dash, making it version-agnostic. Punk::lib::tm_version_magic convention was considered but dynamic extraction is preferred here as it will also work in the future src package_mode boot context where punk modules aren't loaded yet.
runtests_failure_summaries now includes errorinfo, result_was, and result_expected when present in the parsed testdict, so the json report (which iterates keys) and downstream consumers get the full failure context. runtests_print_failure_details prints an errorInfo fenced block for ERROR-status failures and result_was/result_expected fenced blocks for FAILED-status mismatches, with full multi-line text. The compact report appends one-line truncated message=, actual=, and expected= fields (120/80/80 chars) so compact mode stays compact while still being actionable for agents. src/tests/AGENTS.md Local Contracts and Work Guidance updated to document the new failure-detail surfacing.
parse_testrun now keeps the full Tcl errorInfo in testcase_fails entries for ERROR-status failures (previously parsed then discarded), and captures the actual vs expected result blocks for FAILED-status result mismatches via a new result_stage sub-state. Test name extraction in the took/PASSED/SKIPPED handlers is fixed to use the full substring between the structural delimiters instead of lindex \ 1, which corrupted timing associations and testcase_passes/testcase_constraintskips keys for any test name containing spaces; the took handler uses string last to allow test names that themselves contain the word 'took'. The closing-FAILED microseconds lookup now keys on \ (authoritative) instead of the stale \. New dict keys are additive; existing consumers using dict exists/dict get are unaffected.
- disableAnsi was defined as a duplicate enableAnsi in the windows
no-twapi branch, leaving disableAnsi undefined there
- get_size_using_cursormove flushed stdout instead of the supplied
output channel
- get_size_using_chanconfigure: removed unreachable code after its
unconditional error
- cell_size: query path now passes its -console spec to get_size
instead of always querying the default console; bad-format error
message named punk::sixel instead of punk::console
- test_string_cursor: undefined $test_string reference in the no-ansi
path; rowoffset/columnoffset return labels were swapped
- ansi::move_emit vt52 branch called nonexistent punk::ansi::v52move_emit
(now vt52move_emit)
- move_emit_return re-expanded {*}$args inside its per-triple loop,
duplicating emissions when extra row/col/data triples were supplied
- dec_has_mode unknown-mode error message named dec_get_mode
Console module test suites pass (27/27, Tcl 9.0.3).

Agents must not add new executable binaries (or zip-based .tm modules
embedding executables). Existing committed binaries are intentional
interim state pending goals G-004/G-005/G-006 and must not be flagged

Harness-agnostic technical project goal system. GOALS.md holds the canonical one-line index with format spec, status taxonomy, maintenance rules, and an agent-authoring workflow so agents asked to 'help me write a goal for X' ask the right questions. GOALS-archive.md is the achieved-goals archive stub. goals/AGENTS.md is the DOX child doc covering naming (G-<id>-<slug>.md), when a detail file is warranted, and the no-orphans/archive rule. goals/archive/.gitkeep tracks the archive dir.

Resolves the build-maintenance TODO: built module trees no longer accumulate
superseded intermediate versions, and .punkcheck state stays consistent because
every deletion is recorded through punkcheck's event mechanism.
punkcheck (0.3.0):
- installsource_add_virtual + installevent method targetset_addsource_virtual:
'virtual' named-value SOURCE records (-type virtual -path virtual:<id> -value <v>)
compared by stored value, participating in targetset_source_changes. Needed
because successive module versions are built from the same physical source
files - the recorded virtual module_name/module_version identify which
product of the source fileset a target is, at install and delete time.
punk::mix::cli (0.5.0):
- lib::prune_superseded_target_modules: deletes lower-version .tm siblings only
when records prove the same module line (virtual module_name match, or legacy
fallback: recorded sources share the keep-version's source folder(s) and name
prefix). Unrecorded files are never deleted - reported to stderr instead.
- lib::prune_sourcevanished_targets: mirror-prune of recorded targets whose
recorded source files no longer exist (layout bootsupport copies, vendormodule
copies) - intentional multi-version vendoring is preserved.
- build_modules_from_source_to_base prunes after each module install/skip and
records virtual module identity sources on installs.
make.tcl:
- bootsupport: non-glob include_modules.config entries track only the latest
version - superseded recorded snapshot versions pruned; project-layout copies
mirror-pruned; virtual identity recorded on snapshot installs. Calls guarded
(info commands) so a stale bootsupport snapshot degrades to a warning and the
two-pass modules+bootsupport bootstrap self-heals.
- vendormodule copies in root modules*/ mirror-pruned after install.
docs/config:
- include_modules.config headers now document the entry format (non-glob =
latest-only + prune; glob chars = keep all matches; unrecorded never pruned)
- src/AGENTS.md TODO replaced with the durable prune contract;
src/bootsupport/AGENTS.md + src/tests/modules/AGENTS.md updated
tests: src/tests/modules/punk/mix/testsuites/cli/prune.test (19 tests) covering
virtual source recording/comparison and prune identity/safety rules.
Suites: punkcheck 64/64, full suite under Tcl 9.0.3 green except pre-existing
exec-14.3.
payload sync: bootsupport snapshots, project layouts and _vfscommon.vfs pruned
of superseded intermediates (~570k lines of stale .tm copies removed).

opunk::console (0.3.0):
- base size method resolution order: -winsize fast path -> capability gate (settled or heuristic
can_respond; unresponsive consoles get default_size with no query emission) -> pluggable
::opunk::console::size_query_provider -> default_size. The provider hook follows the
waiting-store pattern: the class carries no punk::console dependency, and non-channel
subclasses (tk widget / channel-environment terminals) simply override size.
punk::console (0.1.7):
- get_size dispatches object-governed calls through the virtual ::opunk::Console::size method
after first-use settling - subclass size overrides are honoured from every punk::console
call site
- ANSI/tput mechanisms + per-pair timing cache factored into size_via_query_mechanisms, shared
by the legacy channel-pair path and the registered provider (console_size_provider)
- integration wiring consolidated into once-latched ensure_object_integration (probe-byte store
redirect + provider registration, respecting customised providers), invoked from
default_console, console_spec_resolve lazy-require sites and the get_size object path
- legacy path returns the documented 80x24 fallback instead of erroring when undetermined
tests: WidgetishConsole subclass override returned through punk::console::get_size for both
anchored-name and object-value specs; class-level provider consultation/capability-gating with
a counting fake provider; provider registration assert. Console suites 27/27 + 10/10; punkexe
6/6, goals 8/8; full suite green except pre-existing exec-14.3.

opunk::console (0.2.0):
- probe-byte waiting store changed from dict to array (::opunk::console::waiting_chunks) and made
pluggable via waiting_chunks_arrayvar: integrating layers redirect it to their established
cooperative store so bytes consumed by opunk::Console probe reads stay visible to active readers.
The class remains free of punk::console dependencies - redirection is the integrator's act.
punk::console (0.1.6):
- default_console redirects the opunk::console store to punk::console::input_chunks_waiting
(closing the split-store hazard that previously made opunk-level probes invisible to the
punk repl reader)
- get_ansi_response_payload performs first-use active settling for persistable console specs,
guarded by a recursion latch around settle_can_respond's own probe: every query path
(get_cursor_pos, get_device_status, ...) now pays at most one settling probe instead of a
fresh timeout per call on unsettled ambiguous consoles
punk::repl (0.1.6):
- repl::init routes default console construction through punk::console::default_console
(deduplicates creation logic and gains the store unification)
tests: store-unification and get_cursor_pos first-use settling cases in consolespec.test
(zero-emission and persistence asserts); consoleclass.test store assertions converted to array
form. Console suites 25/25 + 9/9; punkexe 6/6, goals 8/8; full suite green except pre-existing
exec-14.3.
Assisted-by: harness=claude; primary-model=claude-fable-5; api-location=anthropic.com
punk::console (0.1.5):
- settle_can_respond: layered active settling of a console's response capability, persisted on
the anchored opunk::console instance. Layer 1 certainty (input eof -> 0, no emission),
layer 2 strong-negative heuristic (plain pipe, no terminal hints -> 0, no emission - piped/CI
output streams stay clean), layer 3 active CSI 6n probe with timeout, only in the ambiguous
zone (real consoles / pipe-presenting terminals such as mintty without winpty). -force
unsettles and re-probes; -timeout_ms overrides can_respond_probe_timeout_ms (default 500).
Unmatched input consumed while waiting is preserved via input_chunks_waiting.
- get_size triggers first-use settling for persistable specs only (anchored instance name or
the auto-attached default) so unanchored object values cannot cause per-call probes
- get_ansi_response_payload only cycles console raw mode when the input channel is a
console/tty: pipe-targeted probes no longer flip the real console's mode as a side effect,
and a repeat-cycle deadlock under captured-channel environments (runtests runx) is fixed.
(Latent enableRaw_twapi/disableRaw_twapi restore asymmetry noted for future attention.)
punk::repl (0.1.5) / opunk::console (0.1.1): docs reference the active settling mechanism
(no behaviour change; probe machinery stays in punk::console so the class remains free of
that dependency)
tests: 5 new settle_can_respond cases in consolespec.test - certainty and clean-pipe settling
with zero-emission asserts, ambiguous probe timeout with emission and input-preservation
asserts, response arrival settling 1 with realistic event-loop delivery then -force
transition to 0, and get_size first-use settling. Console suites 23/23; full suite green
except pre-existing exec-14.3.

Built module trees accumulate superseded versions which vfscommonupdate/bootsupport propagate
into _vfscommon.vfs, bootsupport snapshots and shipped binaries. Records the planned prune step
and its punkcheck constraint: deletions must be reflected in (or pruned from) the affected
.punkcheck files so change detection stays sound.
