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

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

Multiform per-form failure statuses (formstatus records, noformmatch errorcode
classes + -formerrors) are now sound suffix-viability verdicts: 'incomplete'
(viable) iff every supplied word was validly consumed as a prefix of the form
and the failure is pure exhaustion at end-of-input; anything already supplied
contradicting the form reports 'invalid'. Mechanism: viability-probe mode on
private::get_dict_form suppressing only the position-guarded pure-exhaustion
raises (count min-shortfalls, missing-required checks, adhoc option value at
end) while final validation of the consumed words stands as the soundness
backstop; multiform candidacy and parse_status's single-form formstatus record
confirm each classify-'incomplete' failure with one probe re-parse. Rendered
noformmatch form lines marked '(viable - needs more arguments)'/'(not viable)'
after the stable "form '<fid>':" anchor. Consumer contract documented in the
parse ('Multiform failure contract') and parse_status argdocs. Documented
conservatism: input ending inside a multi-member type clause reports invalid.
New testsuite formviability.test (acceptance scenarios, option position
guards, single-form record soundness, clause conservatism, message marking);
forms.test verdict pins deliberately updated (ms/idle incomplete->invalid for
type-screen rejections). punkshell 0.41.3 (patch: refined multiform error

User-directed: the bare-action carve-out is removed - 'make.tcl help
buildsuite build' now falls through to the punk::args diagnosis like any
other incomplete line (exit 1). Empirically the error table carries the
form's argument rows alongside the all-forms synopsis and per-form
reasons, so the diagnosis IS the form documentation and the carve-out
bought nothing but an exit code. Accepted lines gain a one-line
received-args report after the usage table, built from the parse
result's 'received' key (defaulted opts omitted):
'dry-run: line accepted (form build) - action = build | -test = 0 |
toolname = punkzip'. This makes punk::args' value-swallow visible
('kitname = punk91 -confirm 0' for the out-of-order line) - an interim
make.tcl-side clue until punk::args grows an annotated success render.

User-directed second refinement: 'make.tcl help <subcommand> ?arg ...?'
(and '<subcommand> ?arg ...? -help') now parses the words through the
subcommand's punk::args declaration exactly as dispatch would (form
auto-selection, choice prefixes). An accepted line renders the matched
action's single-form usage ('help tool build -test 0 punkzip', 'help
tool bu'); a rejected line (unknown action, option-first line, unknown
flag in option position) emits the same punk::args noformmatch
diagnosis dispatch gives - all-forms synopsis plus per-form reasons -
on stderr, exit 1: the error table is itself usage documentation, so
help verdicts mirror dispatch verdicts. Carve-out: a bare action
word/prefix renders its form directly, since forms with required
values ('buildsuite build' needs a suitename) would fail a strict
dry-run. Replaces 0.40.1's leading-word-only selection and option-first
whole-usage fallback. Empirical punk::args findings recorded (archived
goal file + probes): flag-like words at/after the first value position
parse as values; -regexprepass/-regexprefail are honoured during form
matching (a '-regexprefail {^-}' value disambiguates flag-led lines -
the punk::auto_exec::hash latent selection ambiguity). maketclhelp.test

User-directed reshape of the help-depth interface: 'make.tcl help
<subcommand> ?arg ...?' (and '<subcommand> ?arg ...? -help') now accepts
the subcommand's command line as typed and renders the usage most
specific to it - 'make.tcl help tool build -test 0 punkzip' shows the
tool build form via its leading action word (the same literal-leader
word punk::args form auto-selection keys on at dispatch). Words after
the action are tolerated and ignored; an option-first line falls back to
the whole subcommand's usage; single-form subjects (e.g 'help bake
punk91 -confirm 0') ignore the words entirely; an unknown action word on
a multi-form subject stays a pointed exit-1 usage error. The 0.40.0
numeric form-index acceptance ('help tool 2') is withdrawn as
unintuitive. Probe recorded: the repl 'i' (punk::ns::cmdhelp) tolerates
trailing argument words but does not form-narrow flat multi-form
commands - make.tcl help now exceeds it there. maketclhelp.test pins
updated (12 tests, all green + tool/colour suites); punkshell 0.40.1.

tool/buildsuite/help are multi-form punk::args definitions (one @form per
action, literal single-choice action leaders + choicelabels): 'help tool' /
'help buildsuite' render one synopsis line per action; 'make.tcl help
<subcommand> <action>' - equivalently '<subcommand> <action> -help', or a
0-based form index ('help tool 2') - renders that action's single-form
usage; unknown actions and out-of-range indexes are pointed punk::args
errors (exit 1). tool dispatch parses through the definition (unknown
actions/flags: exit-1 usage errors). User-approved deviation: the declared
positional model puts options before tool names ('tool build -test 0
<name> ...'); docs/agent guidance updated to match and a flag-shaped tool
name earns a stderr hint; the PUNKBOOT_PLAIN degraded scan keeps the
historic flag-anywhere parse. buildsuite driver-arg passthrough unchanged.
G-144 consumer follow-through: all 17 per-subcommand @form -synopsis
overrides retired (automatic @cmd -name bracket-notation synopses;
top-level make.tcl override kept deliberately). Pinned by new

Auto-generated synopses for (script)-prefixed constructed definition ids
now lead with the declared @cmd -name (the invocation name - e.g
'make.tcl modules' for (script)::punkboot::modules) instead of the raw
id, across punk::args::synopsis full/summary renders and the
usage/arg_error synopsis sections that funnel through them (punk::args
0.12.7 -> 0.13.0).
The fallback is gated on the (script) prefix only (user-confirmed
narrowing): (autodef) ids are excluded - their id-minus-tag IS the
invocation (arg_error's existing tag strip surfaces it) while their
@cmd -name is a display label ('destroy', 'Object: ::x');
(shared)/(package)/(default)/(widgetcommand) doc ids declare no
invocation-style -name today and render the id as before. Real command
ids render byte-identical (full args testsuite passes with no pin
updates). Six new synopsis.test pins: (script) full/summary/multiform/
surfaces, no-name constructed id, autodef unchanged, real-id
byte-identical.

0.39.5 -> 0.39.6 (patch: latent capability, no shipped definition
renders differently today).
Bootsupport refresh (make.tcl modules + bootsupport): snapshot gains
args-0.13.0.tm and picks up two lagging source syncs -
mix/commandset::layout 0.2.0 -> 0.3.0, mix/commandset::project
0.4.0 -> 0.4.1, and the shellfilter 0.2.4 G-145 comment; superseded
copies pruned.

G-146 [proposed] Fossil binary-glob seeding for generated projects:
the trailing fossil initial commit of a generated project aborts on
binary payload (layout bin/sdx.kit, injected zip-based .tm modules,
incoming G-136 .ico) because thin layouts ship no binary-glob setting.
Deferred twice already (G-087 -> G-012 territory); scoped as its own
goal with the glob-value and seeding-path decisions recorded as open
options and relationships to G-136/G-086/G-027/G-114/G-047 surveyed.

Layout .gitignore payloads are now stored inert as gitignore.in and
materialized to .gitignore at project generation, ending the
self-censoring-template hazard (live nested .gitignore files silently
untracked template content in git while fossil managed it fine):
- punk::mix::commandset::layout 0.3.0: layout_materialize_renames map;
layout_stage_chain renames inert payloads after composing all overlay
layers (.anti markers keep targeting store names); layout_materialize
withholds the in-place fast path from inert-payload folders so the
store is never renamed; inert+live name conflict errors loudly
- make.tcl thin-layout sync refreshes every vendor/punk layout's
gitignore.in from the canonical repo-root .gitignore (punkcheck-tracked
sync_layouts events); workflow text updated
- the four vintage payload variants eliminated as drift: all payloads
now byte-identical mirrors of root; modpod copy carried and its stale
.gitignore pruned
- materialize.test +5 G-012 characterization tests (25/25; mix subtree
71 pass / 1 known skip)
Verified end-to-end: generation from each affected layout yields a
byte-identical .gitignore (othersample .anti case yields none); root
edits propagate to payloads via make.tcl libs in both directions; the
fc1c474c force-added template files are back to ordinary git tracking
with no ignore rule matching them; modpod payload README trees are now
visible as ordinary trackable files.
Goal flipped achieved 2026-08-01 (user-confirmed; the custom/_project
acceptance clause is stale - that store level was retired by G-087
stage 5 after drafting; recorded in the archive record and detail
evidence). Reference sweep + archive moves per the flip protocol.
Project version 0.39.5.

The Tcl core delivers 'clear' to a transform stack before EVERY write op
(output-buffer flush-down; tclIORTrans.c ReflectOutput, gated on METH_CLEAR -
intentional and test-pinned, but under-documented: doc/transchan.n and TIP 230
scope clear to seek/read-side buffers). ::punkboot::ansistrip::transchan's
clear handler ran 'dict unset carry $chanid', discarding a split sequence's
held ESC tail at every write-chunk boundary: the next chunk's ESC-less
remainder ('0;1m', '1m') passed through unstripped as orphan fragment text in
piped usage tables, while the dropped ESC bytes kept the G-113 zero-ESC pin
green. The transform is write-only with no read-side state, so its
contract-conformant clear is a no-op - it no longer declares the op, the
per-write calls never fire, and the split-sequence carry survives every chunk
boundary. finalize still drops an end-of-stream partial sequence. No change in
textblock/punk::ansi (pre-transform stream verified well-formed during
diagnosis; exonerated).
Pin: maketclcolour.test gains maketcl_colour_help_tables_zero_remnants -
piped 'tclsh src/make.tcl help' for all 20 declared SUMMARIES subjects plus
bare 'help'/'-help', asserting exit 0, zero ESC bytes, zero orphan fragments
(two-step detector: strip complete sequences, then scan for [0-9;]+m not
preceded by ESC or an open bracket - a raw scan false-positives on ';1m' inside complete
multi-parameter SGR). Failing-first evidence: pre-fix the pin names exactly
the 5 fragmenting invocations (help, -help, help libs, help info, help
bootsupport); the 22-invocation NO_COLOR+PUNK_FORCE_COLOR pre-transform
corpus carries no legit text matching the detector.
Verified (tclsh 8.7a6, win32-x86_64): all 22 invocations byte-level clean;
PUNK_FORCE_COLOR=1 output intact (1177 complete sequences, 0 orphans); the 3
G-113 colour-policy pins pass unchanged; shell/testsuites/punkexe family (15
files, 102 tests) and shell/*** (127 tests) green, warnings pre-existing only;
'make.tcl packages' verified, layout + modpod make.tcl copies synced by the
build (punkcheck-managed outputs batched here per the carve-out).
Bookkeeping: goal flipped active -> achieved 2026-08-01, detail file archived
(goals/archive/G-145-piped-usage-ansi-remnants.md), G-056 Notes gains the
exoneration pointer; src/AGENTS.md colour bullet + src/tests/shell/AGENTS.md
suite description updated; project version 0.39.4 (patch) with CHANGELOG
entry.

Investigation record only - no fix yet (goal remains proposed).
Root cause: the Tcl core delivers the transform 'clear' op before every
write (output-buffer flush-down; tclsh 8.7 and 9.0.3), and
::punkboot::ansistrip's transchan handles 'clear' with 'dict unset carry'
- discarding a split sequence's held tail at every chunk boundary. The
tail's remainder (e.g. 0;1m) passes through unstripped while the held
ESC[ bytes are never emitted, so the zero-ESC pin (maketclcolour.test)
stays green while fragments leak. Evidence: pre-transform stream captured
via NO_COLOR+PUNK_FORCE_COLOR is fully well-formed (textblock/punk::ansi
exonerated; G-056 not the mechanism); the verbatim strip proc is correct
for every possible 2-chunk split and 512..8192 block sizes; an identity
logging transform under ansistrip captured the boundary byte-exactly;
minimal isolated repro on a bare file channel reproduces both the
per-write 'clear' op sequence and a fragment. Deterministic per table
geometry, matching the observed intermittency.
Upstream (TEMP_REFERENCE/tcl9 survey): per-write 'clear' is intentional,
test-pinned core behavior (ioTrans.test iortrans-7.1 "chan write, write
clears read buffers") but transchan.n and TIP 230 document it as
seek-only and read-side-scoped - an upstream documentation gap, not an
implementation bug; no existing Tcl ticket found. A write-only
transform's contract-conformant 'clear' is a no-op; fix layer recorded
in the goal file (drop 'clear' from the supported-methods list or make
it a no-op; 'finalize' keeps dropping the carry).

G-143 make.tcl help depth: multi-form tool/buildsuite definitions and
per-action usage - @form sections with literal action leaders so help
shows which actions take <toolname>/-test, 'help <sub> <action>' renders
the single form, tool dispatch becomes fully declared, buildsuite keeps
its passthrough driver-args contract.
G-144 punk::args auto-synopsis @cmd -name fallback for non-command ids -
unblocks dropping make.tcl's hand-written ?...? @form -synopsis lines in
favour of the automatic bracket notation (retires the G-030 workaround
for (script):: ids).
G-145 remnant-free piped usage tables - root-cause and eliminate the
orphan CSI fragments ([0;1m / [0m / lone m) observed beside table borders
in piped help output; extends the G-113 zero-ESC guarantee to zero
sequence-fragment text.
All three born from the 2026-08-01 argdoc restyle evaluation (mechanisms
verified live on bootsupport punk::args 0.12.7). Overlap surveys recorded
in each detail file; goals_lint clean (83 active-index goals); xref score
reviewed per goal - the top term-scored unlinked pairs for G-143 (G-085,
G-021) checked and judged lexical-only, no relation recorded.
