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numeric form-index acceptance ('help tool 2') is withdrawn as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
punkexe/maketclhelp.test (12 tests); full punkexe subtree green (114
tests, 0 fail). Goal flipped to achieved and archived; punkshell 0.40.0.

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.
Goal tiers: index entry archived to GOALS-archive.md, detail file moved
to goals/archive/ (G-143's pending-tense Related line rewritten to
reflect achievement + follow-through pointer: make.tcl's @form
-synopsis overrides are now optional, retirement under G-143 or a

0.39.5 -> 0.39.6 (patch: latent capability, no shipped definition
renders differently today).

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

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.

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

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

Scope lines are the index's discovery mechanism (path-grep + goals_xref path
overlap): after the G-024/G-115 migration the old filenames matched nothing on
disk, so agents editing src/runtime/mapvfs.toml or src/vfs/*.vfs.toml would
silently miss these goals. Minimal swaps, index + detail-file mirrors in step:

G-024 - kit mapping converted to toml (tomlish-parsed), same-day activation->achieved:
- src/runtime/mapvfs.toml: [kit.<name>] / [group.<name>] / [scheme.<name>] tables
(header comment = user-facing spec). All 12 active line-format mappings migrated
(order preserved - identical bakelist rows vs the legacy parse); historical
comments carried over; mapvfs.config deleted here AND in the project-0.1 layout
(converted to mapvfs.toml there).
- make.tcl reader family under the unchanged G-121 model surface: mapvfs_locate
(toml > legacy; PUNK_MAPVFS_CONFIG env override = characterization seam),
mapvfs_parse dispatching on extension, strict mapvfs_parse_toml, deprecated
mapvfs_parse_config fallback (un-migrated generated projects keep baking, with a
NOTE; toml wins when both files exist). Shared toml helpers hoisted to
punkboot::lib (inline toml_untag copies removed).
- Strict entry-named validation: unknown keys/types/schemes, conflicting targets,
duplicate outputs, parse failures fatal (exit 3 pre-build). Full-bake
unresolvables split by nature: missing vfs folder (repo content) fatal per
entry; missing runtime file (environment - part-populated stores are legitimate)
entry-named recapped BUILD-WARNING + skip.
- Groups: @<group> selection in bake/bakelist, group/default/scheme notes columns
+ detail lines, groups listed in errors and argdoc choices. verify-ix86 wraps
the G-129 kits; bake_default=false excludes entries from full bakes.
- G-023 versioned scheme declared live ([scheme.punk8]/[scheme.punk9], group
versioned, bake_default=false pending G-023 activation): parse-time expansion
from punkproject.toml to punk<gen>-<version> / punk<gen>-dev / release-gated
punk<gen>; kit loop creates the plain name when absent and never overwrites it
on a normal bake. punk9-dev baked end-to-end; punk9 gate skip demonstrated.
- Consumer dedupe fix: several entries may share one runtime on one vfs -
kit-output enumeration and the kit-loop runtimes list process each distinct
runtime once (latent multiplication in the legacy format, unreachable there).
G-115 - declarative .vfs composition with drop-in preservation, same-day
activation->achieved:
- Sibling declarations src/vfs/<name>.vfs.toml ([payload.<name>]: source,
source_root src|packages, target, supersedes, replace) materialized by the new
VFSPAYLOAD phase (bakehouse/bake/vfslibs; selective bakes narrow; strict
entry-named errors). Drop-in-wins precedence via punkcheck -overwrite
synced-targets: undeclared or modified-since-install files preserved and
reported (changed-but-preserved NOTE = files_skipped minus sources_unchanged);
supersedes/replace are the explicit exceptions; an undeclared .vfs is untouched.
- vendorlib_vfs.toml relationship settled: folded/superseded - all six install
entries migrated into per-.vfs files for the 13 participating folders (first
materialization run reproduced every payload with zero tracked-content change);
file deleted; a leftover copy warns and is ignored.
- Demonstration kit punkdeclare (group declare-demo, bake_default=false,
smokerequire udp+tcllibc): VCS carries only the boot fauxlink; the whole
lib_tcl9 payload (tcludp vendor tree + tcllibc consent-gated packages tier)
rematerializes from the declaration - clean-tree rebuild smokes pass in-kit,
and drop-in survival was proven live (a foreign pkgIndex.tcl and an undeclared
note both survived; the foreign file genuinely won until removed, caught by the
G-133 smoke probe as designed). Payload ignored in both VCS (.gitignore +
derived ignore-glob; ignore-sync verification clean).
- Docs: src/vfs/README.md (format + precedence spec), src/vfs + src/runtime +
src + bin AGENTS.md, ARCHITECTURE.md (+lint clean), workflow text and
summaries/helptexts/argdoc; layout store seeds the convention (vfs README +
mapvfs.toml; machinery travels via the established make.tcl sync).
Verification: legacy-vs-toml identical kit rows; punkluck86 force-rebuilt under
both formats content-identical (identical 1.73MB runtime+stamp prefix, identical
2993-member payloads; whole-artifact byte identity is not a pipeline property -
consecutive same-config rebuilds differ in zip timestamp metadata, pre-existing);
punkexe suite 98 tests 0 failures incl. 5 new G-024 characterizations

fetch - the executable-retrieving act - now gates at entry when the
origin is non-canonical (PUNKBIN_URL override): the explicit
-trust-server flag or PUNKBIN_TRUST_SERVER=1 env (unattended form) is
the acknowledgement, one vocabulary with make.tcl libfetch's gate
(G-139). The canonical punkbin origin gates nothing (G-058's unattended
tclsfe constraint fetch is unchanged); metadata-only actions
(list -remote, platforms -remote) never gate; never an interactive
prompt. Refusal wording mirrors libfetch's.
ps1: -trust-server is pre-scanned before parameter binding (hyphenated
dynamic-parameter names are fragile under the PS 5.1 binder the windows

plus a derived provenance_class row, disagreement-checked; help texts
updated to the v1/v2 wording.
bash defect fixed: 'info -platform <p>' was advertised in both help
texts but silently ignored - 'info' was missing from the option-scan
action list (punk-runtime.bash case arm). The per-name report now
honours the tier argument like the ps1 payload (proven by the
tier-named not-found path).
bin/punk-runtime.cmd re-wrapped via the documented multishell
invocation under punk905. Verification: bash -n clean; staged v2
third-party fixture smoke shows parity output in both payloads
('[tcl=9.9.9 class=third-party]' + provenance_class row);
runtimecmd_checkfile PASS (no 512B label crossing after payload
growth); runtimecmd_freshness PASS (13 fixture tests, both routes);
runtimecmd_roundtrip PASS byte-identical under the tclsh9.0.5-punk
baseline runner (plain native tclsh lacks struct::stack for tomlish -
runner-choice trap noted in the goal Progress).

family_artifacts.tcl and the build905.zig embedded-record literal move
schema 1 -> 2, adding [provenance] class = "suite-built" with the
lib-tier ordering-caveat comment (G-138 lineage - [artifact] class stays
the first 'class =' line; whole-text single-key scanners see that one).
The embedded-vs-sidecar consistency gate expects v2, and
family_check.tcl asserts embed_schema 2 plus the literal
'class = "suite-built"' line (its flat scanner would see [artifact]
class first, per the caveat). Verified: zig ast-check clean, both tools
parse; functional family-build proof is the next step - published v1
records stay valid pre-v2 records, v2 appears from the next family
revision.
Companion punkbin commit 1f10390 (local, unpushed): 12 retroactive
schema-v2 sidecars covering every pre-family runtime artifact across
the five tiers, evidence-based classes (binary markers, punkbin git
history, live kit probes), additive-only (artifact bytes + sha1 rows
unchanged), AGENTS.md runtime-v2 section + README refresh.
Goal Progress records the baseline survey findings (tier argument
already present on fetch/list/use; bash 'info -platform' defect; no
client-side server-trust gate; ps1 Scope path correction pending user
approval).

Index entry + detail file. 'make.tcl libfetch' (G-139) fetches every
declared libpackages.toml artifact regardless of what the host or bake
consumes - already pinching on WSL (win32-x86_64 zips downloaded for a
linux-only bake; G-140 worked around it via the PUNK_LIBFETCH_CONFIG
test seam) and set to grow as G-004 migrates more vendored trees to
the punkbin lib tier. The goal derives the default fetch set from the
consumption declarations already in the tree (PACKAGES host needs +
the kit set's packages-sourced vfslibs targets) with narrow/widen
overrides, derivation reporting, and a VFSLIBS missing-source hint
naming the fetch the failing bake needs. Overlap survey recorded

suite_tcl90: critcl_zig.config gains the linux-x86_64-zig cross target
(zig cc -target x86_64-linux-gnu.2.17 - the dynamic-glibc floor decision,
recorded in the goal file and fed to G-105). build905.zig gains the
tcllibc-linux step (critcl driver on the windows suite shell, stubs
linkage, no linux host; uuid.tcl excluded matching upstream's own
native-linux package shape) gated by the new tools/elf_gate.tcl
(G-133-equivalent ELF64/LSB/ET_DYN/x86_64 structural check - the
load-smoke stand-in for cross lanes). library-artifacts emits
lib/linux-x86_64/tcllibc-tcl9-r<N>.zip in the same run: target =
linux-x86_64, build_host_platform = win32-x86_64, full provenance set,
deliberately no [tests] section. build_id seeds now include the tier
path so same-named artifacts in different target tiers get distinct
identity digests (both suites' tool copies kept byte-identical). Step
lists (build905.zig -Dsteps default, suite.tcl) and README document the
lane and invocation.
Consumption: libpackages.toml declares tcllibc-tcl9-linux (target
linux-x86_64); vendorlib_vfs.toml install.tcllibc_tcl9_linux switches
punk9linux.vfs/lib_tcl9 - replace retires the hand-dropped tcllibc,
supersedes removes the stray tcllibc2.0 - so the last provenance-less
accelerator hand-drops in any kit payload are gone. punkshell902 baked
(G-133 payload arch scan: 6/6 match target linux-x86_64) and
WSL-verified: materialized-tier accel smoke plus baked-kit smokes
(default paths + a pinned variant proving the kit's own lib_tcl9
artifact tree loads with the accelerator engaged). Finding recorded:
the tclkit-902 runtime bundles its own lib/tcllibc2.0 which wins
default precedence - the origin of the retired stray folder name.
Determinism: back-to-back re-emission byte-identical for all three
artifacts; the zig Run session-env cache finding extended (FOSSIL_HOME
and invocation mode churn the key; the linux ELF .so observed
bit-stable across critcl re-runs, unlike the windows PE). Goal flipped
achieved with evidence in the detail file; G-105 notes carry the libc
decision as prior art. Docs: buildsuites AGENTS.md child index,
ARCHITECTURE.md buildsuites paragraph, CHANGELOG + punkproject 0.32.2.

New proposed goal, flagged at the G-139 achieved flip: punk9linux.vfs's
linux-built tcllibc + stray tcllibc2.0 are the last provenance-less
accelerator hand-drops in any kit payload. G-140 commits a narrow zig
-target lane on the existing windows suite: critcl driving zig cc with an
explicit linux target section (stubs linkage - no cross-built runtime, no
linux build host), emitted as lib/linux-x86_64/tcllibc-tcl9-r<N>.zip through
the established G-138 machinery (record target=linux-x86_64,
build_host_platform=actual host), verified by a host-side ELF check +
byte-identical re-emission + a WSL accel smoke under an existing punkbin
linux Tcl 9 runtime, consumed via the G-139 declaration idiom
(libpackages.toml + vendorlib_vfs.toml supersedes/replace + a punkshell902
cross-target bake with in-kit record + WSL kit smoke). The libc/triple
decision (dynamic glibc floor direction) is recorded as direct input to
G-105's dynamic-libc and mapping items - back-pointer added to G-105 Notes
(non-contract). tcl8 generation dispositioned out of the committed set (no
linux tcl8 kit).
Overlap survey run (goals_xref paths across the scope): G-105 the strongest
live intersection (carried as Related with the lands-first framing);
G-116/G-130/G-060/G-123/G-004/G-065 carried; G-108/G-110/G-131 co-location

Acceptance met in full (walk in the detail file's Progress): libfetch with
sha1 verification + beside-toml metadata + server-trust consent proven LIVE
against the canonical origin post-publication; PACKAGES_tcl<N> libs-step
materialization with punkcheck provenance; vendorlib_vfs.toml declarations
(source_root=packages + replace) with supersedes removing tcllib1.21 incl.
nested tcllibc 0.4 + md5c from the 8.6-family kits; punk86 kit-hosted
runtests vs the same-day baseline IDENTICAL (zero differences to
disposition); vendored trees removed in their own commit after the proven
bake (70d1838c); the post-removal verification bake shipped kits with
verifiable embedded provenance from the tcllib-vendorless checkout;
derived-project decision recorded (fc2376ca).
Index entry -> GOALS-archive.md record. Reference sweep: G-004's
pending-tense retirement line updated to delivered (+ the remaining
vendored trees named as its outstanding scope with the tcllib pattern as
template); actionable pointers pushed to G-006 (libfetch's trust gate = the
interim consent instance to absorb), G-065 (the artifact-fetch pattern to
absorb/reference), G-027 (derived-project library story via the layout
sync), G-123 (materialization twin + the live interim consent flag to
coordinate with). make.tcl workflow text updated to the landed consumption
shape (fetch -> tier -> PACKAGES phase + vfslibs packages lane); vfslibs
summary/help texts cover both source roots. Project 0.32.0 + CHANGELOG

vfslibs processed all declared trees (45 installs): every win32 tcl9 tree's
tcllib2.0 clean-slate replaced by the artifact copy (nested md5c/tcllibc
strays gone), sibling tcllibc-tcl9 installed, stray tcllibc2.0 names
superseded; tcl8 kits upgraded - tcllib1.21 (with nested tcllibc 0.4 + md5c)
superseded out, tcllib2.0-tcl8 + tcllibc-tcl8 in; punk86bawt's bare tcllibc
refreshed; punk9linux keeps its linux-built accelerator siblings (win32
artifacts deliberately not declared there). Every installed tree carries its
embedded punkbin-artifact.toml record into the kit payloads.
Selective bake punk86 + punk905 (punk91/punksys/punk9_beta are live user
shells - trees switched, bakes at next natural rebake): both deployed;
punk905 arch scan OK (tcllibc exempt under its platform subdir); punk86's
only warning is the recorded pre-existing zint i386 defect. Kit provenance
verified both container types: punkzip central-directory read (punk905 zip
kit) and in-vfs record probe (punk86 metakit kit) - records name their
source artifacts + build_ids.
VALIDATION (acceptance): kit-hosted runtests bracket isolating exactly the
kit payload switchover - baseline (pre-switchover punk86) 1125/1099/18/8 in
5 files (exec.test, ns/nslist, ns/nsprimitives, zip/zipaccel,
stdin/runstdin; 1960s); post-switchover IDENTICAL totals, files, and
per-test outcome extraction (1119 lines, empty diff). Differences to
disposition: none - the 8 failures pre-exist on the old payload.
punkcheck-managed vfs tree changes batched per the src/AGENTS.md carve-out.

The decision (per the acceptance, recorded in the goal detail): derived
projects obtain library binaries via the SAME fetch entrypoint by default -
generated projects receive make.tcl (libfetch + the PACKAGES phase) through
the established layout-sync/G-027 channels and declare their artifacts in
their own src/runtime/libpackages.toml; the copy-and-tweak in-project suite
build per G-104's self-description contract remains the documented
alternative (a tcllib/tcllibc-only suite needs no Tcl source tree - critcl
bundles its headers).
The pre-G-096 samplesuite1 sketch in the project-0.1 layout
(download_and_build.config, mingw64/gcc-era, self-described as SKETCH ONLY)
is removed and replaced by src/buildsuites/README.md in the layout,
documenting both routes for generated projects - the disposition the goal
Approach named. Goal Progress also records the r1 publication (punkbin
ee571ed, pushed) and the live canonical-origin libfetch verification.

New 'make.tcl libfetch' subcommand (argdoc'd; workflow text + plain help
updated): fetches the punkbin LIB-TIER artifacts declared in the new
src/runtime/libpackages.toml ([artifact.<name>] name/target; the four G-138
r1 artifacts, both generations) from <origin>/lib/<target>/ into the
untracked bin/packages/<target>/ input tier - zip + .toml sidecar, each
sha1-verified against the server's per-target sha1sums.txt (local tier copy
kept, the punk-runtime store idiom) - then materializes each verified zip
via punk::zip::unzip (crc-verified, mtimes restored, accelerator-eligible)
into bin/packages/<target>/tcl<N>/<pkgfolder>/ (generation subdirs: both
generations install identically-named folders). Idempotent: present
artifacts re-verify and skip; a materialized tree is current while its
embedded record names the declared artifact (the G-138 self-description
payoff); -force overrides.
Consent keyed to server trust (the G-123 posture): the canonical punkbin
origin (punk-runtime raw-base convention) gates nothing; any other origin
(-serverurl or env PUNKBIN_URL) refuses before network access without the
explicit -trust-server flag - never an interactive prompt. file:// origins
served natively (mirrors/fixtures); http(s) transport: Tcl http (+tls) when
loadable, else curl, else PowerShell. The dispatch block sits before the
build-command whitelist gate per the standalone-command pattern and exits
itself.
Emission-side amendment (both suites' library_artifacts.tcl): sidecar tomls
now ride the per-tier staging sha1sums.txt, matching the punkbin repo's
build_sha1sums.tcl coverage so staging-derived mirrors serve verifiable
sidecars.
Verified against a file:// mirror assembled from both suites' staging:
trust-gate refusal, consented fetch of all 4 artifacts (sha1-verified),
materialization of all 4 trees, fully idempotent re-run, and a package-load
proof from the tier (md5 2.0.9 + tcllibc accel=1 under the plain family
kit, ifneeded paths in bin/packages). bin/packages is already ignored in
both VCS via the /bin/* rules. Docs: bin/AGENTS.md tier section,
src/runtime/AGENTS.md libpackages.toml bullet. Project version 0.31.0 +
CHANGELOG (new make.tcl subcommand = product surface). Remaining G-139 work

Acceptance met in full (walk recorded in the detail file's Progress): emission
step landed in BOTH suites and demonstrated end-to-end - exceeding the
demonstrate-90/record-86-follow-through minimum - with byte-identical
re-emission verified, provenance-complete schema-v2 class=library records,
sidecars + per-tier sha1sums in the same step, publication left a deliberate
user step, punkbin layout docs recording the tier (punkbin repo commit
c38686a), and md5c dispositioned (dropped; tcllib's md5 prefers tcllibc,
which bundles the accelerator).
Index entry -> GOALS-archive.md record (file's established arrow-format
convention retained). Reference sweep: G-139 Context/Alternatives/Related
updated with achieved markers + archive path, and G-138's actionable
outcomes pushed to their consumers - G-139 (settled naming, md5c drop,
staging locations of the emitted r1 artifacts), G-123 (schema v2 landed
first for the library class - runtime-side v2 rides the lineage), G-004
(lib tier = the route for library binaries out of the tracked tree),
G-066/G-067 (zip tier recorded as the interim carrier for the .tm long
game). goals_xref report shows no unlinked pairs bridged only by G-138.
ARCHITECTURE.md buildsuites paragraph gains the lib-tier sentence

New tools/library_artifacts.tcl (suite_tcl90 + identical suite_tcl86 copy):
emits the punkbin LIB tier from verified suite builds - installed-shape
package folders as immutable <folder>-<tcl8|tcl9>-r<N>.zip artifacts
(lib/allplatforms for pure-tcl tcllib, lib/<target> for the tcllibc critcl
accelerators) with an embedded schema-v2 class=library punkbin-artifact.toml
at the package root (embed-then-hash: sha1/size/built stay sidecar-only),
toml sidecars and per-tier punkbin-format sha1sums.txt. Provenance:
[provenance] class=suite-built (the G-123 schema-v2 lineage), tcllib/critcl
checkout uuids, critcl version from the package's own teapot.txt,
driving_tcl_patchlevel, toolchain/optimize.
Determinism: punkzip assembly (sorted members) over a staging copy with
file/dir mtimes synced from the install tree, the embedded record's mtime
pinned to the package's pkgIndex.tcl - re-emission over an unchanged install
verified BYTE-IDENTICAL in both suites. The dlls inside are not
bit-reproducible across zig rebuilds, so -Dlibrev bumps only on deliberate
publish (default 1 - nothing published yet).
Wiring: 'library-artifacts' zig step in build905.zig (runs under the plain
family kit - proof-doubling per kit-family-artifacts) and build86.zig (runs
under the installed static shell; brings the G-117 identity options to that
recipe), in the default step lists (suite.tcl + bootstrap steps parity).
punkzip staged as an upstream git source like critcl (sources.config record
+ lazy build.zig.zon pin, commit 0882f0373e = v2.3.1, generation-neutral)
and compiled host-native by the recipes (ReleaseSafe - real deflate work).
Verified 2026-07-30: suite_tcl90 emitted tcllib2.0-tcl9-r1.zip (871 members)
+ tcllibc-tcl9-r1.zip; suite_tcl86 emitted the -tcl8- pair (different bytes,
same shape - the generation tag is identity, not decoration). Materialized
load tests: packages extracted from the zips resolve and load under the
plain family kit (tcl9) and the static 8.6 shell, critcl accelerator engaged
from the extracted tcllibc, sources proven via package ifneeded paths (the
8.6 first run tripped the recorded tm-path shadowing trap - hermetic re-run
clean). md5c dispositioned: NOT published - md5x.tcl prefers tcllibc, which
bundles the md5 accelerator. Evidence and decisions in the goal detail
Progress section; suite READMEs document the step; punkbin layout-docs
update is the remaining acceptance item.
