The testinterp replaces auto_path wholesale (project src/lib dirs, root
lib_tcl<N>/<arch>, [info library] + parent). Under a kit executable that
parent is e.g //zipfs:/app, and tclPkgUnknown scans only an entry plus its
immediate children - so kit-bundled packages under //zipfs:/app/lib_tcl<N>/
<pkg> (e.g tcllib's tcl::chan::fifo2, required by the shellrun harness at
testinterp setup) were unreachable. Unnoticed in punkshell because the
project's own root lib_tcl9/win32-x86_64 carries tcllib2.0; projects
without that payload (e.g tomlish) failed every file at
'package require shellrun' when run under a punk kit exe.
Now the kit's internal lib/lib_tcl<N> dirs are appended when present,
mirroring the internal-path classification in src/vfs/_config/punk_main.tcl:
zipfs app mount, tclkit ::tcl::kitpath exe dir-shadow, cookfs //cookit:/
volume (default mount name only, as per punk_main.tcl). No-op under native
tclsh. Verified: punk902z + tclsh902z suites pass; classification probed OK
under tclkit 8.6.17, punk9cook (cookit), punk91 (zipfs 9.1), native Tcl903;
tomlish suite under punk902z/punk91 goes 0 -> 149/149 with the same edit.

makeFile/makeDirectory output previously landed in the working directory -
aborted core exec.test runs littered src/tests with untracked helper files
(cat, echo, gorp.file ...). Unless -tcltestoptions supplies -tmpdir, a
fresh directory from 'file tempdir' (TMPDIR/TEMP/TMP + pid fallback for
tcl 8.6) is configured and deleted before exit; a hard-aborted run now
leaves litter in the OS temp area rather than the source tree.
Takes effect in single-process mode; multi-process mode still does not
forward tcltest options to child processes (pre-existing todo).
Contract documented in src/tests/AGENTS.md.

shellfilter::run now wraps everything between tee-stack add and removal in
try/finally so the callers stdout/stderr are always restored, and the
decorative stack-status table rendering in log::critical blocks is
catch-guarded. Previously an error there aborted the run after diverting
the channels and before restoring them, leaving process stdout/stderr
broken with all subsequent output silently lost - observed when a stale
same-version textblock snapshot (old option-value syntax) called the new
punk::ansi sgr_merge_singles inside the stack-status render during tomlish
test runs.
runtests.tcl:
- testinterp tm path order: bootsupport moved to last test_tmlist element
so it wins same-version module ties over vendormodules. Rules verified
experimentally on Tcl 9.0.3 (identical under standard package unknown
and punk::libunknown): tcl:™️:add prepends each argument, head of
tcl:™️:list wins same-version ties, so the last element of a
single-call add list wins.
- testinterp auto_path gains the parent of [info library] so binary
packages such as Thread (needed by shellrun) resolve in projects
without a root lib_tcl<N>/<arch> payload.
Project version 0.2.6. Verified: full shellspy suite at baseline (517
pass / exec-14.3 known); tomlish ported suite 184/184; reconstructed
stale-module scenario now completes with captured results and live
stdout instead of silent loss.

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.
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.
