Julian Noble	7e7d515cd0	G-041 achieved: multi-form matching - automated form selection for parsing and documentation ... Acceptance reviewed clause-by-clause in the detail file: auto-selection on a unique clean match (forms.test GAPs flipped), candidate-naming noformmatch/multipleformmatches errors, -form list restriction across get_dict/parse/parse_status/arg_error, doc surface presenting the best-matching form(s) ('i after cancel <id>' presents the cancel form; 's after cancel someid' underlines the matching synopsis lines), explicit single -form unchanged, full punk::args/punk::ns suites pass (full tree 822/836 with only the exec-14.3 baseline failure). Flip edits: index entry to GOALS-archive.md (achieved 2026-07-13), detail Status flipped with acceptance review and live-verification record, reference sweep updates G-044 (candidacy API now available - parse_status formstatus), G-055 backlink, G-072 backlink. Detail-file move to goals/archive/ follows as a pure rename; goals_lint transiently unclean between the two commits.

Julian Noble	4707af6fc2	G-041 increment 2: doc surface presents the matching form (punk::ns 0.5.0, punk::args 0.11.0, project 0.12.15) ... cmdhelp ('i'): the -form option defaults to * (was 0) with parse's list semantics, and both render sites present the form the advisory parse selected - 'i after cancel <id>' presents the cancel form's argument table with its synopsis line underlined; 'i lseq 0 10 2' presents the range form info-scheme. When no form matches, the ranked candidates are passed to arg_error (best candidate's table, all candidates marked, message naming each form's failure); when several forms match, all matching forms are marked under the ambiguity message. punk::ns::synopsis ('s'): trailing argument words after a multiform command path underline the form(s) they match - matching forms from the advisory parse's formstatus, or the best candidate when none fully matches ('s after cancel someid' marks both cancel forms; 's lseq 0 10 2' marks the range form). Ordinal line position maps lines to declaration-order forms in both full and summary renders; marking is skipped under alias-currying excess or an explicit -form. punk::args 0.11.0: the documented @form -synopsis override now renders in punk::args::synopsis full and summary output (arg_error honoured it already) - the adjacent forms.test GAP flipped (forms_form_synopsis_override_rendered). Candidate ranking extended: form_literal_affinity treats required RESTRICTED-choice arguments as discriminators via choiceword_match (the tclcore models express subcommand words as -choices), so 'after cancel' ranks the cancel forms first instead of falling back to declaration order. Real-model findings recorded in the goal detail: 'after cancel someid' is genuinely ambiguous in the doc-faithful model (cancelid vs cancelscript - real Tcl disambiguates semantically); 'lseq 1 count 5' ambiguity traces to the expr-typed operands (noted in G-055 as a model-tightening candidate alongside TIP 746). Tests: cmdhelp.test gains the multiform doc-surface pins (autoselected form presented, noformmatch best-candidate table + candidate naming, synopsis marking present/absent). punk::ns 57/57, punk::args 198/199 (1 pre-existing skip); full source-tree suite in the detail record.

Julian Noble	d85608d685	G-041 increment 1: multi-form candidacy engine (punk::args 0.10.0, project 0.12.14) ... punk::args::parse/get_dict with the default -form * (or any multi-form selection) now attempts every permitted form instead of effectively parsing form 0 only. Exactly one clean match auto-selects (result gains a 'form' key; 'formstatus' reports every candidate when candidacy ran). No match raises a 'noformmatch' validation error naming each candidate form's first-line failure, ranked best-candidate first (leading-literal affinity with the supplied words, then incomplete before invalid, then declaration order). Several clean matches raise 'multipleformmatches' naming the forms - deliberately no silent preference (recorded in the goal detail); callers pass -form to disambiguate. -form now accepts the documented list of form names/indices across get_dict, parse, parse_status and arg_error via a shared resolver (private::form_selection). arg_error renders the argument table for the first listed form and marks all listed forms' synopsis entries; parse's error render passes the ranked candidate list so the closest form's argument table shows under the no-match message. parse_status: 'form' is now the matched (or best-candidate) form - the per-argument statuses and badarg marking are built for it - and the new documented 'formstatus' key carries per-form status/failureclass/badarg/ message (caller-attributed), the per-form compatibility surface the G-044 completion/hinting consumer needs on partial argument lists. Engine restructure: the single-form parse body of get_dict extracted verbatim to private::get_dict_form (argspecs resolved in the caller's context before selection; no caller-frame use inside - verified). Single-form definitions take the direct path unchanged. Tests: forms.test GAP pins flipped (forms_parse_autoselect, forms_parse_formlist_restriction) plus new coverage: shared-prologue arity discrimination, noformmatch ranking + errorcode payload, multipleformmatches + explicit -form disambiguation, formstatus in results and parse_status. punk::args 198 pass / 1 pre-existing skip, punk::ns 53/53, punk::lib 35/35.

Julian Noble	07481e9a47	goals: add G-073 (punk::args unavailable choices) ... User-approved draft from the 8.6-vs-9 string is dict forward-compat requirement: a new definition key (candidate -choiceunavailable) for choices that are recognised but not available in the current runtime - displayed among the choices with their -choicelabels notes, participating in prefix disambiguation via the shared choiceword_match resolver (so abbreviations colliding with forward-version choices are ambiguous everywhere), and rejected at parse with a tailored recognised-but- unavailable message. Adoption by the tclcore string is model gives 8.6 users the dict class annotated and reserved (deliberately stricter than real 8.6 for the di prefix - recorded as a user-sanctioned parity exemption; full-word behaviour stays parity-true), plus an i-string-is-dict documentation id generated from the static description.

Julian Noble	deb8f17d72	G-051 achieved: doc-walk choice-prefix parity + truthful doconly cmdtype (punk::ns 0.4.0, punk::lib 0.4.1, project 0.12.13) ... Space-form docid prefix parity: cmd_traverse's space-delimited child docid jump, on an exact-word miss, now resolves the word against the current level's choices-bearing first leader via punk::args::choiceword_match (the shared G-040 resolver - -choiceprefix, -nocase, -choicealiases, denylist, reservelist honoured) and retries with the canonical word. 'i string is tr' resolves to the "::tcl::string::is true" documentation exactly when 'string is tr 1' executes; 'string is bool' -> boolean; ambiguous ('d'), unknown ('zz') and denied words stay at the parent exactly when parse rejects them. resolvedargs records the canonical, mirroring parse normalization. No second matching rule exists. Truthful cmdtype: cmdinfo classifies cmdwhich-notfound + non-empty docid as 'doconly' (was 'notfound') - documentation-only levels below real commands (per-class ids like "::tcl::string::is true", documented TclOO method docids; the method case adopts doconly per the recorded design decision, refinable by G-052). Consumers audited: cmdhelp/synopsis/eg are docid-driven, cmdtrace tests only for 'proc', punk::help topic fallback uses cmdwhich; punk::lib script analysis updated in step (doconly accepted alongside notfound, bucketing unchanged). Tests: the four G-051 GAP pins flipped and renamed (cmdhelp_pseudo_command_cmdtype_doconly, cmdhelp_spaceform_docid_prefix_honoured + ambiguous/unknown guard, cmdhelp_string_is_true_pseudo_doconly, cmdhelp_string_is_prefix_honoured). punk::ns 53/53 (cmdflow + non-GAP cmdhelp unchanged), punk::args 193 pass / 1 pre-existing skip, punk::lib 35/35; full source-tree suite result in the detail file. Live verification (punk902z src): 'i string is tr' renders byte-identical to 'i string is true' except the failure banner echoing the typed words. Flip edits: G-051 index entry to GOALS-archive.md (achieved 2026-07-13), detail Status flipped with acceptance review and verification record, reference sweep updates G-052 Notes.

Julian Noble	d4519f41d3	G-071 achieved: punk::args 0.9.0 allocation choice screen - lseq-class optional-element arglists parse in-form (project 0.12.11) ... Root cause: get_dict_can_assign_value blanket-satisfied the member check for any argument carrying choices, so an optional restricted-choice value (the lseq '..'/'to' noise word) consumed any word whenever arity permitted, starving later elements/clauses and failing validation with a confusing trailing-choices error ('lseq 0 10 2' shape). Fix: an allocation choice screen using choiceword_match (the shared G-040 implementation - exact/alias/prefix/nocase semantics; -choicemultiple words screened per list member within min/max), applied only where allocation has an alternative: -optional arguments and further occurrences of -multiple arguments. Required arguments are deliberately not screened - the word must fill them and validation's choiceviolation reporting stays informative (the existing parsestatus/cmdhelp/choices pins forced and now document both refinements). -choicerestricted 0 behaviour unchanged. Results: the allocation.test GAPs flipped ('1 2 3' and '1 2 by 3' parse with correct clause shapes {{} 3}/{by 3}; '1 2 3 4' gets the plain excess-values rejection instead of blaming the unrelated optional); prefix normalization survives the screen; all noise-word variants and if-shape guards unchanged. lseq moduledoc matrix parses per lseq.n under -form range, and 'i lseq 0 10 2' works end-to-end. Remaining lseq divergences trace to G-041 form selection or the -type expr laxity recorded in G-055 - not allocation. Also corrected an increment-1 mis-premise: parse_status ALREADY accepts -form before the withid/withdef tail per its documented synopsis - the probe had passed it trailing. GAP replaced by parsestatus_form_option_order (correct-order acceptance incl. the form key, trailing rejection). No code change was needed for that acceptance clause. Verification: punk::args suite 193 pass / 1 pre-existing skip / 0 fail; punk::ns 53/53; full source-tree suite 813 pass / 13 skip / 1 fail = exec-14.3 only (known baseline) - zero regressions (tclsh 9.0.3; lseq verification in punk902z src, Tcl 9.0.2). Flip edits: G-071 index entry moved to GOALS-archive.md (achieved 2026-07-12), detail Status flipped with the acceptance review and before/after record; reference sweep updates G-041 (prerequisite fixed, parse_status correction) and G-072 Notes.

Julian Noble	17b8a6dbbd	G-071 increment 1: allocation characterization suite + retreat-path debug silencing (punk::args 0.8.3, project 0.12.10) ... G-071 flipped proposed -> active (user direction 2026-07-12). New allocation.test (7 tests) with reduced fixtures isolating the failing shape from the tclcore moduledoc: the lseq-range shape (start ?sep? end ?by-step clause?) reproduces the moduledoc failures exactly. Current mis-allocation pinned as GAP tests ("1 2 3" -> invalid blaming sep, "1 2 by 3" -> incomplete blaming end, "1 2 3 4" correctly invalid but misblaming sep), noise-word variants and the if-shape noise-word clauses pinned as regression guards, parse_status -form absence pinned as GAP. Also silenced four more unconditional debug puts on get_dict allocation retreat paths ((111)/(222)/(333)/(444)) - these printed to stderr during NORMAL successful parses at every optional-skip retreat, polluting interactive help/parse output for noise-word-modelled commands. Behaviour unchanged; the retreat logic they marked is exactly this goal fix target. Full punk::args suite 193 pass / 1 pre-existing skip / 0 fail (tclsh 9.0.3).

Julian Noble	803b44bd6c	goals: add G-071 (optional-element allocation correctness) and G-072 (compound clause types) ... Both user-approved drafts from the G-041 prework probe findings: - G-071: value-allocation correctness for optional standalone values + trailing optional-member clauses (the lseq "0 10 2" in-form failure), error-blame quality, and parse_status -form support. A G-041 prerequisite: no lseq form accepts those arglists under the current allocator, so form auto-selection alone cannot fix them. - G-072: named compound clause types with per-alternate element typing and arity for heterogeneous repeating clauses (try on/trap handlers), building on the design sketches embedded in the ::try moduledoc notes. Includes a recorded examination of Elixir gradual set-theoretic types (user direction): punk::args -type | and literal() are already a fragment of the set algebra; negation would subsume reserved-word deny-lists; per-alternate arity falls out of union-of-shapes.

Julian Noble	58da288d45	G-041 prework: if/switch/try/lseq real-vs-model probe findings recorded; punk::args 0.8.2 debug-leak fix (project 0.12.9) ... Probing (punk902z kit, Tcl 9.0.2) of the tclcore moduledoc models against the real builtins, driven by user concerns about variable-length clauses with optional elements before G-041 activation. Findings recorded in the G-041 detail file (auto-selection evidence on real commands, the allocator prerequisite, parse_status -form gap) and the G-055 detail file (modelability over-acceptance list: try compound handler types, reserved-word clause allocation, "-" fallthrough constraints, switch two-argument option suppression, unvalidated -type expr, TIP 746 version-conditionality for lseq operands; plus the user doc-direction guidance that definitions split into @form entries where source docs simplify). Key result: the per-form models are doc-faithful (lseq.n synopsis maps 1:1; switch separate/block parse correctly under explicit -form; try mixed on/trap interleaving and finally positioning all agree with the real command) - but the value allocator mishandles an optional single-word choice value followed by a required value plus trailing optional-member clause, so lseq range arglists without the ../to noise word ("0 10 2", "0 10 by 2") fail in-form. No lseq form accepts them, so G-041 form selection alone cannot fix "i lseq 0 10 2" - allocator fix flagged as a candidate prerequisite goal. Fix included (punk::args 0.8.2): unconditional debug puts on the clause type-check path (get_dict_can_assign_value) commented, companion to the 0.2.3 find.

Julian Noble	b3b9992457	goals: add G-069 (splitter tclparser cross-check lint) and G-070 (pure-Tcl tclparser) ...

Julian Noble	66df76c82e	G-045 achieved: punk::args 0.8.1 define quoting documentation; flip + archival edits (project 0.12.8) ... Increment 5 (final): the container quoting rules pinned by defquoting.test now appear in the punk::args::define -help documentation - braced values fully literal (backslash sequences survive as typed); double-quoted values get Tcl backslash semantics at record parse while $ and [] stay literal with no substitution outside tstr placeholders; the backslash-escaped placeholder idiom renders a literal placeholder. Rendered section verified in punk902z src (meta-escapes display correctly). punk::args suite 186 pass / 1 pre-existing skip / 0 fail. Acceptance review recorded in the detail file: all criteria satisfied across increments 1-5 (@cmd -unindentedfields 0.6.1, i help alignment punk 0.2.4, -& record continuation 0.7.0, @normalize + define_docs consumer proof 0.8.0/punk 0.2.5, quoting documentation 0.8.1; suite grown 128 -> 187 tests, GAPs flipped, none weakened, full source-tree suite zero regressions). Flip edits: G-045 index entry moved to GOALS-archive.md (achieved 2026-07-12), detail file Status flipped with evidence in Progress, reference sweep updates G-053 notes.

Julian Noble	22606faebe	G-045 increment 4: punk::args 0.8.0 @normalize directive; define_docs converts as consumer proof (project 0.12.7) ... New bare @normalize directive: opts a definition into indent normalization of BLOCK-FORM multi-line field values (first line whitespace-only, as authored by opening a braced literal with a newline). The structural first newline and a whitespace-only trailing line are dropped, the content lines' common leading whitespace is the block's base indent, the first content line is unindented fully and subsequent lines are re-based to the standard 4-space continuation convention (deeper relative indents preserved; whitespace-only inner lines become empty). Fields in a record's -unindentedfields are exempt. Implemented as a resolve pre-pass over the split records (private::normalize_records / rebase_multiline_value); @normalize with options is an error. Head-form values are never altered - their base indent is unknowable (continuations uniformly at 6 may be base-4 with the deliberate +2 relative convention, or base-6 flush; re-basing would flatten the former). The idempotence test caught exactly that on a file-style definition during implementation, narrowing the user-confirmed re-base semantics to block form only - which also makes @normalize a proven no-op on conforming file-style definitions. Consumer proof (punk 0.2.5, per the recorded user decision): ::punk::helptopic::define_docs converts from interim left-margin authoring to indented block-form values under @normalize, dropping its -unindentedfields declarations; 'i help' and 'i help_chunks' verified aligned in punk902z src, including the blank-line separator in the combined basehelp+extra block. Tests: new normalize.test (5 tests: block re-base, block left-margin, head-form boundary, exemption byte-exactness, file-style idempotence); rendering.test P4 characterization stays pinned as the deliberate unopted default with its text updated to reference @normalize. punk::args suite 186 pass / 1 pre-existing skip / 0 fail; punk::ns 53/53; full source-tree suite 806 pass / 13 skip / 1 fail = exec-14.3 only (known baseline) - zero regressions (tclsh 9.0.3). define doc documents the directive.

Julian Noble	52ad1211a2	G-045 increment 3: punk::args 0.7.0 - record-continuation token -& (project 0.12.6) ... An unquoted trailing -& element on a definition record line continues the record on the next line. Implemented in private::split_definition_records: the token is dropped and the next line joins after a single space with its leading whitespace collapsed - exactly how the Tcl parser joins backslash-newline continuations before a braced definition ever reaches the splitter - so a -& record assembles byte-identical to its backslash-continued equivalent. Motivation: constructed (string-built) definitions cannot author backslash-newline ergonomically (the building code's own quoting consumes it); -& is plain text and survives any construction. Collision rules (analysis and decision recorded in the goal detail file): bare word preceded by whitespace (or whole line), trailing whitespace tolerated; braced/quoted -& is data ({-&} escapes a literal trailing value); mid-line -&, word-suffix abc-&, and -& inside still-open braced/quoted values are data. Element-count disambiguation rejected (action-at-a-distance; positional rule is locally decidable). Backslash authoring unchanged - continuation is additive. Tests: new recordcontinuation.test (6 tests) incl. backslash-twin parse+render byte-equality and the constructed-def chaining case. Full punk::args suite 181 pass / 1 pre-existing skip / 0 fail; full source-tree suite 801 pass / 13 skip / 1 fail = exec-14.3 only (known baseline) - zero regressions (tclsh 9.0.3). define doc documents -& alongside backslash continuation. Also recorded: tclparser considered and rejected for the splitter (ANSI unbalanced-bracket data, dialect semantics outside Tcl grammar, binary dependency vs G-004); dev-time parse cross-check lint flagged as candidate.

Previously: the @cmd -help braced literal carried ~16 spaces of source indent into the constructed definition (constructed defs get no whole-block normalization, pinned P4 characterization), so the Description block rendered continuations +12 right of the first line; the \n-relative topic -help rendered its first line +4 (the injected display prefix). Both blocks now render flush. Help text content unchanged (manual ~70-col folding retained). Verified in punk902z src (arg_error render + i help end-to-end); punk::ns suite 53/53; make.tcl modules builds clean.

The single transform site feeds both the table and string renderers, so left-margin-authored @cmd help renders its first line flush with continuations in both. @cmd -summary carries no indent transform in any renderer, so -unindentedfields for -summary is vacuously honoured. No in-tree definitions set -unindentedfields on @cmd - existing rendering is unchanged. define doc for -unindentedfields now states where the option is valid.

Julian Noble	bac122da9f	G-039 achieved: punk::repl 0.5.0 dead-console watchdog stops orphaned-shell CPU spin (project 0.12.2) ... An interactive shell orphaned by its hosting console dying (killed conhost/terminal) previously spun ~2 cores forever: the Tcl 9 windows console driver never delivers the dead-console state to the script as a fileevent (tclWinConsole.c ConsoleEventProc only notifies on buffered data) while its reader thread busy-loops on the persistent channel error, so the script level is completely blind and nothing ever closes the channel. Fix: repl::console_watchdog - a self-rescheduling liveness poll (default 5s, repl::console_watchdog_ms; read-only GetConsoleMode probe via chan configure -inputmode) armed by repl::start only for a tcl9 console input channel serving the process-default console on windows. On probe failure it closes the input channel (stopping the driver's reader thread) and finishes the repl via the normal eof done-path; app-punkshell then finds no console reopenable and exits cleanly. Piped, foreign-console and tcl 8.6 inputs never arm it. repl::start's post-vwait reader deregistration now tolerates a watchdog-closed channel. Verification (2026-07-12): kill procedure post-fix exits the orphan in 1.5-2.0s with no traceback (src mode and rebuilt kits punkbi/punk91/ punk902z); 25s live-console soak shows no spurious trigger, CPU delta 0; piped stdin unaffected; repl consolebackends 3/3 and punk::console suites 88 pass / 1 skip; root cause verified against plain tclsh 9.0.3.

New goals (user-approved drafts, all proposed) covering the declarative vendoring direction: - G-065 declarative vendoring: toml-declared external packages with version/commit pinning, retrieval provenance, binary-scan gating with punkproject.toml override; manual drop-ins stay supported (surfaced as undeclared); agent-free by design - G-066 pkgIndex.tcl-to-.tm repackaging: lib.copyasmodule expansion with embedded LICENSE/metadata datafile and distribution-unit tracking for multi-package upstreams (tcllib-style) - G-067 module artifact channel: publish/retrieve prepared .tm modules against configurable artifact servers, sharing the G-006 consent-gating and source-override pattern - G-068 agent-assisted moduledoc generation workflow for vendored third-party libraries (G-055 pattern generalized), decoupled from basic vendoring G-063 contract extended (user-approved): vendored-package license indications additionally carry verification provenance (method, verifier, date), reported by the audit surface. Proving case recorded in G-065 notes: the hand-trimmed tcl_oauth2_library copy was load-tested then removed before ever being committed, so the first vendoring of it runs end-to-end through the declaration; the TEMP_REFERENCE clone remains the upstream stand-in. goals_lint: clean.

Julian Noble	456fa80500	goals: G-021 fold in capture-privacy model (Tier 1) ... Contract update (user-approved): Goal/Acceptance now make capture disposition policy-governed - snapshots yield an opaque capture token by default (no path or pixels in output), analysis relays token+prompt to user-policy-permitted endpoints (local-only or allowlist) returning text only, raw-image release (path/base64) is gated on explicit user config with the default refusing, and every capture/disposition is audit-logged. New "Privacy model (capture disposition)" section specifies the mechanism: opaque tokens, mechanism-side endpoint checking, expose_pixels policy (default analyze-only), policy config in user-profile scope outside the repo, audit trail, AGENTS.md guidance as an additional layer rather than the gate, and the honest enforcement ceiling (unrestricted same-user exec can capture outside punk; target is private-by-default sanctioned path + deliberate/auditable circumvention). Notes record further hardening as a potential future task: separate- principal broker with admin-owned config, and consent prompts - including the trap that G-020 input injection can click an ordinary consent dialog, so any prompt mode needs a surface SendInput cannot reach.

Julian Noble	99af43c8be	goals: G-062 achieved archival + archive-loss prevention (sweep rules, backlink markers, goals_lint) ... Finalises the G-062 achieved flip staged by the prior session (punkshell 0.12.1): LICENSE.txt (BSD-2-Clause, Julian Marcel Noble 2023-2026) at the repo root, README/punkproject.toml/AGENTS.md license declarations, index record to GOALS-archive.md and detail file to goals/archive/. Archive-loss prevention, from the G-015 incident (its achieved-status verification parenthetical was silently dropped by the 2026-07-11 two-tier restructure's Status-line normalisation; the text is restored to the G-015 archive file's Notes with provenance): - root AGENTS.md 'Doc Restructures': deleted-line conservation check before committing bulk doc migrations, structured-field-normalisation hazard (relocate prose to body sections first), moves separated from edits - goals/AGENTS.md: lintable header field grammar (one line per field, bare Status values), flip-time verification evidence recorded in the body, the archive move content-identical, and a new archive-time reference sweep: pending-tense mentions of the archived goal updated in the live tier, and actionable archived notes pointed to from the affected live goal's Notes - GOALS.md maintenance rules: achieved-flip clause extended to require the evidence write-up and the reference sweep Retroactive reference sweep over all 12 archived goals (25 live detail files): pending-tense fixes (G-002 G-008 G-013 G-016 G-017 G-021 G-022 G-031 G-042 G-044 G-050 - G-017's Goal/Acceptance annotated as gate-satisfied, contract meaning unchanged), forward pointers pushed from archived notes (G-062 license-seeding follow-on -> G-012/G-027, G-037 vendorlib/vfs drift semantics -> G-024, G-058 static-baseline mechanism -> G-005), and one 'Archived-goal references' Notes bullet per remaining referencing file so every live mention of an archived goal is resolvable without consulting the archive index. scriptlib/developer/goals_lint.tcl (new, plain tclsh): validates detail-file header grammar, strict status values in both tiers, orphan rules in both directions, Status/Scope mirror consistency, plus an informational (never fatal) warning for live files referencing an archived goal with no achieved/archive marker - baseline now zero warnings.

Flagship test: a scripted remote terminal answers CSI 6n over a socket pair and size resolves 100x30 through punk::console machinery querying the socket * opunk::console::tk / ::opunk::TkConsole - Tk text widget as terminal: widget path in the inherited in/out slots (documented non-channel reuse), terminal_class tk-text, size from widget char dims, at_eof via backend marker (opunk::console::tk::set_eof) or widget destruction; no Tk require at module load.

Julian Noble	3a5a68ec9b	G-059 achieved: WSL capability probing + native-filesystem staging for unix-side tests from windows ... - new src/tests/testsupport/wslprobe.tcl (::punktest::wsl): memoized capability probe for the wsllinux constraint - default distro launches and unames as Linux, tools present (bash/mktemp/wslpath + sha1 tool), native tempdir file round trip; any failure -> skip with reason, so wsl.exe-present-but-unusable installs cannot false-positive. Staging helpers (staging_create/copy_in/run_in/cleanup) enforce the design: execution on the distro NATIVE filesystem only, shared /mnt used for one-way copy-in/out, the windows checkout never operated on from inside WSL (DrvFs slowness + cross-boundary stat differences that make git re-hash its index and fossil see phantom changes). Probe uses wsl -e invocations only (wsl --status/-l emit UTF-16) - multishell.test: scriptwrap_multishell_exec_wsl_sh - the polyglot sh payload produces its marker under the distro bash from native staging (the direct isunix twin still skips on windows) - new shell/testsuites/binscripts/runtimebash_wsl.test (8 tests): runtime.bash first-ever execution on real unix - multi-candidate run errors listing candidates, use/list/run round trip with argument passing, PUNK_ACTIVE_RUNTIME override, unknown/unselectable use errors, stale-active guidance, single-candidate fallback, offline list -remote (crafted cached sha1sums.txt + PUNKBIN_URL forced fetch failure), and the checkout-untouched guard (git status --porcelain identical before/after per acceptance) - green on tcl 9.0.3 + 8.7 against Ubuntu-24.04/WSL2; suites skip cleanly when the probe fails; enablement/limitations in src/tests/AGENTS.md (known limitation: a present-but-HANGING wsl can stall the probe) - GOALS.md G-059 flipped to achieved 2026-07-11; detail file records the outcome incl the UTF-16 discovery and the 512-byte label regression this work surfaced (caught by the guardrail suite as designed) Assisted-by: harness=claude; primary-model=claude-fable-5; api-location=anthropic.com	5 days ago

Native-filesystem execution is a design constraint: per-test artifacts staged into a WSL-native tempdir with one-way copy-in/out, no repo checkout inside WSL for these cases, future full-suite mode via a separate native clone - the Windows checkout is never operated on via /mnt (DrvFs slowness + cross-boundary stat differences force git index re-hashing and fossil phantom changes; two VCS clients must not share a working tree). Acceptance includes verifying the Windows checkout git/fossil state is untouched by a WSL-gated run. - G-060: QEMU guests as strictly external tooling behind a hypervisor-agnostic guest-driving contract (provision/stage/run/collect, push-based - same pattern as G-059; guests never share a working tree with the host). GPL-safe posture recorded: external-process invocation only, no QEMU binaries or derived code in punkshell or punkbin, guest OS images not redistributed - fetched/built per machine.

Record splitter factored to private::split_definition_records. Also per G-046 acceptance: - @dynamic multiline -help substitutions align at the insertion column (rendering_atdynamic_multiline_help_insertion GAP flipped) - prefix/alias choice normalization keeps single-element-clause values plain-string ({\Deleted} list-wrap shape bug; choicegroups_imap_prefix_shape GAP flipped) - -return string renderer aligns cmd-help continuations under the Description: label (characterization updated) and its Example: line shows the example, not the doc url - punk::ns cmdhelp shows plain info-scheme usage when no argument words are supplied for a leader/value-requiring definition ('i string is', 'i punk::args::define') - advisory parse runs -errorstyle minimal so the discarded error no longer renders a second usage table (timing parity with pre-change: ~5.3s/4.1s on punk91 src) Tests: deferredhelp.test (new); suites green on tcl903 + tcl87; full source-tree run baseline-clean (exec-14.3 only).

Five user-approved proposed goals with detail files, grounded in the 2026-07-10 characterization work (GAP pins in usagemarking.test/cmdhelp.test map to these): - G-049 punk::args parse-status data model with machine-parsable cmdhelp returns: documented per-argument status structure consumed by both arg_error renderers, cmdhelp -return dict; fixes badarg coverage (type/allocation failures), scheme honoured on failure path, caller attribution, and the stateful shared colour-array scheme handling (nocolour fallthrough + dash-spelling leak). - G-050 synopsis argument-validity marking and status-aware returns: 's' gains the goodarg/badarg marking via the G-049 structure; replaces the curried-alias excess-args length arithmetic with a parse against the resolved definition. - G-051 cmdinfo truthful cmdtype for doc-only pseudo-commands + space-form docid prefix parity via the shared choiceword_match resolver ('i string is tr'). - G-052 TclOO method-level autodef: undocumented methods get an (autodef) from the introspected parameter list instead of the class-summary-only fallback. - G-053 punk::args range-valued -multiple: {min max} occurrence ranges alongside the legacy booleans, expressing "at most once, repeat is an error" without a separate duplicates flag (mirrors the -choicemultiple precedent; motivated by the runtests -include-paths last-wins incident).

Julian Noble	b7dc51e2c0	G-048 proposed: textblock::table punk::args parsing with inline constructor define blocks ... textblock::table uses an unvalidated dict merge with no choice validation; its PUNKARGS is incomplete and the -return -choiceprefix documentation mismatch is the last open item from the punk::args -choices audit. This goal proposes refactoring textblock::class::table's constructor to carry inline punk::args define blocks (the class_ansi pattern) so the constructor's documented option set becomes the single source of truth that textblock::table's PUNKARGS references rather than a parallel hand-typed list.

Julian Noble	a012142512	G-047 refined: per-developer commit-target override + fossil machinery carve-out ... Rework the proposed G-047 for mixed git/fossil-preferring teams: committed [workflow] vcs in punkproject.toml declares the team primary (authoritative interchange); the same key in an uncommitted punkproject.local.toml redirects an individual developer's unqualified commit instructions. Resolution order: local override > project field > filesystem detection. Drops the one-directional batched-checkin claim (developer committing granularly to the secondary owns batching up to the primary) and records that punk internal machinery (punkcheck related-project tracking, G-027 pull, G-016 discovery) stays standardized on fossil regardless of the declared field. New detail file records rejected alternatives and rationale. Assisted-by: harness=claude; primary-model=claude-fable-5; api-location=anthropic.com	7 days ago
Julian Noble	675aa22701	G-045, G-046 proposed: punk::args authoring ergonomics; deferred -help resolution + rendering/value-shape fixes ... Both user-approved, drafted from the 2026-07-09 characterization findings with their acceptance criteria anchored to the pinned GAP tests. - G-045 (authoring ergonomics): parser-recognised record continuation (candidate: unquoted trailing -& with collision rules and an element-count disambiguation alternative recorded), @cmd honouring -unindentedfields, constructed (string-built) definitions able to opt into the whole-block indent normalization file-style definitions get (de-hacking ::punk::helptopic::define_docs as the consumer proof), and the braced-vs-quoted container quoting rules promoted from defquoting.test into the define documentation. - G-046 (deferred -help + fixes): headline item per user emphasis at approval - argument resolution stops processing -help/display-only fields, deferring their tstr expansion to display time with separate parse-vs-display caching (per the existing in-source review note), for measurable first-parse gains and fixing the reentrancy class reproduced with punk::ansi::mark_columns (~3.94s first call: its -help calls a proc that calls mark_columns, whose parse resolves the same still-resolving definition). Plus: @dynamic second-round multiline paramindent alignment, prefix-normalization value shape (list-wrap of backslash-containing choices), -return string renderer cmd-help continuation alignment, and the misleading goodargs 'Bad number of leading values...' prefix in 'i <cmd> <args>' output.

Julian Noble	850b7f23cc	G-040 achieved: punk::args -choicealiases with shared choiceword_match resolver; doc-lookup parity; punk::help topic collapse ... Activated and completed under user direction (2026-07-08). Aliases for choice values are now first-class: accepted at parse, normalized to their canonical choice in results, folded into the canonical entry in usage display, and resolved identically by the punk::ns doc-lookup walk. - punk::args 0.3.0: * -choicealiases {alias canonical ...} on argument lines; dict shape validated in the option switch, alias->existing-choice and no-collision cross-validated after spec merge (surfaces at resolve time - define is lazy) * the choice-word matching chain extracted from get_dict into the shared resolver punk::args::choiceword_match {word nocase allchoices choicealiases choiceprefix denylist reservelist} -> {matched exact canonical}; get_dict delegates to it (writeback/lset logic stays at the call site) - one implementation for parser and doc walk * exact aliases match under any -choiceprefix/-nocase setting; alias names join the prefix-calculation pool when -choiceprefix is true; deny applies to the matched NAME (denied alias requires the full alias; a canonical reached via its alias is exempt from the canonical's own deny entry) * display: aliases fold into the canonical entry as an '(alias: x)' / '(aliases: x|y)' label note (single convergence point covers all render paths); alias names join the display prefix calculation so highlighted minimal prefixes stay truthful * define doc gains the -choicealiases section - punk::ns 0.1.2: cmd_traverse resolves subcommand words via choiceword_match - -choiceprefixdenylist/-choiceprefixreservelist now honoured in doc lookup (the two pinned parity GAP tests flipped to agreement), aliases normalize before choiceinfo lookup, -nocase honoured in the walk - punk 0.2.3: punk::help adopts the feature - 'i help' lists one entry per registered topic (topics+help, tcl, env+environment, console+term|terminal); topic words accept aliases and unique prefixes with the user-decided minimum-prefix policy recorded in ::punk::helptopic: denylist {help} (h/he/hel stay command words), reservelist {c to tc} (fall through to command lookup; e/en and te/ter fall through naturally as ambiguous). Argless 'help' output byte-identical to the strict-80 baseline. - tests: choices.test +5 (alias exact/prefix normalization, noprefix exact- only, nocase, the punk::help policy matrix, resolve-time validation); cmdflow.test parity tests flipped from GAP to agreement + alias-traverse and display-fold assertions (+flowaliased fixture) - suites: punk/args 98 pass + 1 skip, punk/ns 28 pass, punk/lib 21 pass - G-040 flipped active -> achieved 2026-07-08; detail file records implementation and verification - project 0.4.10 (CHANGELOG entry) Assisted-by: harness=claude; primary-model=claude-fable-5; api-location=anthropic.com	1 week ago
Julian Noble	0505397590	G-037 achieved: make.tcl vfslibs propagates vendorlib packages into kit vfs lib_tcl trees; 8.6 kits to tcludp 1.0.13 ... New 'make.tcl vfslibs' step (also run inside 'make.tcl project' before kit vfs assembly): propagates declared vendored platform-library packages into kit vfs lib_tcl<N> trees, ending the hand-copying that let kits ship a known-buggy tcludp through three make invocations (the G-036/G-037 motivating case). - declaration: src/runtime/vendorlib_vfs.toml, parsed with bootsupport tomlish (no ad-hoc parsing; G-024's mapvfs toml conversion NOT required first - this file is recorded as a candidate for absorption into it). [install.<name>] entries: source (relative to src/), targets (kit vfs lib folders relative to src/vfs/), optional supersedes (folder names removed from each target before install - explicit, no silent mixed-version provision per G-035 concerns). - participation is per-package per-kit; authority is the declaration - nothing syncs undeclared, so the known vendorlib/kit twapi drift is deliberately untouched (resolves the direction/authority design question). - punkcheck provenance at src/vfs/.punkcheck (gitignored, outside kit payloads); skip-if-unchanged proven (rerun: 0 copied, 9 skipped per target); malformed/unresolvable entries fail the build naming the entry (exit 3). - 8.6 kits upgraded (the G-036 loose-end decision, recorded): tcludp 1.0.13 is dual-generation (pkgIndex selects tcl9udp1013.dll on 9+, udp1013t.dll on 8.5+) so the single vendorlib_tcl9 source serves punk8win.vfs/lib_tcl8; superseded udp1.0.12 removed. - verified on rebuilt kits: punksys/punkbi (8.6.13) and punk902z (9.0.2) all report package require udp == 1.0.13 loading the generation-appropriate dll from their vfs; no udp1.0.12 remains under src/vfs; punksys piped-shell exit smoke clean. - G-037 flipped proposed -> achieved 2026-07-08 under user direction (no intermediate active stop). - includes project-build byproducts via established channels: bootsupport snapshots refreshed to punk-0.2.1 / punk::lib-0.3.0 (from today's version bumps) and make.tcl synced into layout copies. - project 0.4.8 (CHANGELOG entry) Assisted-by: harness=claude; primary-model=claude-fable-5; api-location=anthropic.com	1 week ago
Julian Noble	48dccbe8c1	G-036 achieved: tcludp thread-exit bug detection (punk::lib 0.3.0 has_libbug_udp_threadexit, surfaced via 'help tcl') ... Completes G-036's remaining acceptance item - version-based detection of the vulnerable combination (tcludp < 1.0.13 on Tcl 9 Windows: the per-thread exit handler closes the process-global sockListLock/waitForSock events, silently freezing every other udp-using thread's event loop after any udp-loaded thread exits; root-caused and fixed-by-upgrade in 0.4.3). - punk::lib 0.3.0: has_libbug_udp_threadexit gathers live facts (loaded udp version, else best available registered version discovered without loading the binary via an unsatisfiable package require triggering the index scan) and delegates the verdict to the pure classifier libbug_udp_threadexit_applies (facts in, verdict out - testable). has_libbug_* is the new check family for bundled/vendored library bugs; buginfo dicts may carry a full 'url' reference key for non tcl-core trackers. - punk 0.2.1: 'help tcl' scans has_libbug_* alongside has_tclbug_*, renders the url key when present, and no longer errors on a triggered check carrying a reference without a description (latent unset-indent fix). - new checkbugs.test: classifier combination matrix, live-check dict shape and classifier consistency, and a buginfo-contract test across all existing check procs. - verified: current kit (udp 1.0.13) reports bug=0 with no warning; a simulated triggered has_libbug_* check renders description + url in the help tcl warning block. Suites: punk/lib 21 pass, punk/ns 26 pass. - G-036 flipped to achieved 2026-07-08 (index acceptance REMAINING annotated DONE; detail file gains the Detection section). Open non-gating decisions recorded in the detail file: punk8win (8.6) kit udp 1.0.12 swap; optional upstream tickets for residual tcludp trunk weaknesses. - project 0.4.7 (CHANGELOG entry) Assisted-by: harness=claude; primary-model=claude-fable-5; api-location=anthropic.com	1 week ago
Julian Noble	687c0113d1	G-044 proposed: punk::args-driven repl command completion/hinting; cross-goal weaves ... User-approved goal for interactive command completion and hinting in the repl (raw mode primary), driven by the punk::args documentation corpus: - command-word resolution via the same doc-lookup flow as 'i' (ensembles, subcommands, ensemble parameters - characterized in cmdflow.test), argument position via the definitions (options, choices with parse-consistent prefix/deny/reserve matching, literals, multi-form awareness per G-041) - activation preserves the editbuf's literal-tab support (tab is content in this shell - completion cannot exclusively claim plain Tab; trigger scheme decided and recorded at implementation) - per-subshell completion-provider seam: the punk::args completer is the default provider; a subshell can declare an alternative or none - minimum bar is a clean disable for language subshells such as an interactive xtal session (full xtal completion out of scope, not precluded) - introspection must not execute candidate commands (arginfo principle); no per-keystroke terminal queries added when idle (G-013 approach note) Detail-file weaves from the same direction: - G-041: form candidacy should be exposed as an API accepting PARTIAL argument lists (per-form compatibility while typing) for the G-044 hinting consumer - G-043: subshell definitions gain a repl-behaviour composition aspect (completion/syntax provider); xtal-style language subshells recorded as the motivating scenario, an actual xtal session deferred to its own future goal - G-013: raw editor essentials noted as G-044's prerequisite; the editbuf literal-tab constraint recorded as a standing approach note Assisted-by: harness=claude; primary-model=claude-fable-5; api-location=anthropic.com	1 week ago
Julian Noble	9948810b9b	G-042, G-043 proposed: subshell help topics via punk::config; subshell definition plugins (punk.subshell capability) ... Both user-approved after a review of the intended plugin facility (punk::mix::init pluginmgr todos, the punk::pluginmgr 0.5.1 tcllib fork, punk::cap provider/handler system, punk::cap::handlers::templates pathtype resolution, punk::overlay commandset composition and its toml-CLI todo). - G-042: a named subshell declares help topics (name/aliases/summary/text) in punk::config stored configuration, registered into the ::punk::helptopic registry on entry and restored on exit, with an explicit shadowing policy. Text-content only - config is data; code-bearing topics belong to the plugin path where the trust story lives. Detail file records the registry seam (punk 0.2.0), dependencies (hard on G-014; beneficial G-040/G-008/G-009), and the plugin-facility relationship from the review. - G-043: the umbrella for that plugin path - a punk.subshell capability whose providers supply commandset bindings (punk::overlay import), help topics (G-042's registry API) and config defaults per named subshell, with a validating punk::cap handler, an equivalent data-only stored-config declaration path (absorbing punk::overlay's ".toml configuration files for defining CLI configurations" todo), and punk::pluginmgr as the discovery/ safe-interp trust layer for untrusted providers. Also absorbs punk::cap housekeeping found in the review: pkg_unregister api-object cleanup and unhandled-capability discoverability (the deliberate punk.isbogus silence).

Julian Noble	91bd14e138	G-041 proposed: punk::args multi-form matching - automated form selection for parsing and documentation ... User-approved goal recording the multi-form feature gap characterized 2026-07-08 with an after-like fixture: - punk::args::parse without -form (default *) does not attempt non-zero forms - input matching only a later form (e.g. 'cancel after#1') fails with form 0's type/arity error, so the appropriate form must currently be specified manually - -form is documented as accepting a set/list of forms but accepts only a single form name or integer index - the documentation surface does not determine/mark the closest form ('i after cancel <id>' presents the default form; 's after cancel someid' lists all synopses unmarked) Detail file records the probe findings, an approach sketch (form candidacy with a leading-literal fast path, -form list support, doc-surface marking), the requirement that explicit single-form restriction remains available, and the test-first sequencing (forms.test GAP pins flip when this goal is implemented).

Julian Noble	e45fea9b16	G-040 proposed (punk::args -choicealiases); choice-flow characterization tests; -choice* doc clarifications ... - GOALS.md: G-040 punk::args choice aliasing with parse normalization, display folding, and doc-lookup parity (user-approved); detail file records the prefix/deny/reserve collapse analysis from the punk::help work, the cmd_traverse divergence, the c/to/tc minimum-prefix policy question, and the test-first sequencing - new punk/ns cmdflow.test (10 tests): cmdwhich/cmdinfo/cmd_traverse docid flow - direct, via-alias and subhelp-choiceinfo resolution (exact + unique prefix), unknown-word fallback to parent docid, -choiceprefix 0 exact-only, space-delimited ids, cmdhelp -return string smoke; the parse-vs-doc-walk divergence (deny/reserve lists honoured by punk::args::parse, ignored by the cmd_traverse walk) pinned as GAP tests pending G-040 - choices.test: 4 new unrestricted-mode (-choicerestricted 0) tests - prefix normalization to the canonical choice, unknown/ambiguous passthrough, denylist and reservelist passthrough, and the punk::help collapse recipe (prefix+deny+reserve on a -multiple leader) - punk::args 0.2.2 (doc-only): define doc -choice* fields now state the -choicerestricted 0 passthrough semantics, -choiceprefix result normalization + minimal-prefix display highlighting, denylist behaviour for shorter prefixes in both restricted modes, and the reservelist phantom-entry idiom for per-choice minimum-prefix control - suites: punk/args 74 pass + 1 skip (was 70+1), punk/ns 18 pass (was 8) Assisted-by: harness=claude; primary-model=claude-fable-5; api-location=anthropic.com	1 week ago
