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.

Direction agreed 2026-07-20: the whole buildsuite pipeline becomes
drivable with only the pinned zig toolchain present. Pre-tclsh phases
(fetch, configure-product generation, compile) move into the zig build
layer with sources in a content-hashed zon-shaped manifest (fossil
sources pin as per-checkin tarballs - '-refresh' becomes 'bump the pin';
fossil-checkout flow retained as the dev alternative); post-tclsh phases
(tcllib/tklib installers, critcl, parsed-totals test gate) stay Tcl
scripts run by the FRESHLY BUILT suite tclsh as build steps. Acceptance
includes a PATH-scrubbed no-tclsh end-to-end demonstration, preservation
of the copy-and-tweak retargeting property, and the recorded rejection of
a bash+powershell polyglot for this layer (polyglot craft remains the
acquisition layer's mechanism - punk-getzig/getpunk first contact).
Cross-references: G-096 direction note marked RESOLVED -> G-102 (its
remaining items close on the current suite.tcl shape regardless); G-099
sequencing now weighs birthing suite_tcl86 onto the chosen driver shape.
