- GOALS.md collapsed to summary entries (ID/status/title/Scope/detail pointer): 104.6KB -> 23KB so a full read stays cheap; Scope lines kept verbatim so path-grep goal discovery still works
- canonicality split: index canonical for ID/status/title/Scope, detail file canonical for Goal:/Acceptance:; all 61 detail-file headers reconciled from the index (fixes stale copies, e.g. G-036 detail acceptance predated the achieved rework), bodies preserved untouched
- detail files created for the three index-only goals G-017, G-034, G-054; every goal now has one
- 10 achieved goals (G-007 G-015 G-036 G-037 G-040 G-046 G-049 G-054 G-058 G-059) archived: summary records appended to GOALS-archive.md, detail files moved to goals/archive/; archive-on-flip replaces the ~30-achieved-entries trigger
- GOALS.md preamble/rules reworked: read workflow (read index in full, then detail files of scope-intersecting goals before editing), contract spans both tiers with proposal-first unchanged, next-free-ID counts the archive, achieved flip judged against the detail-file Acceptance and includes archiving
- progress convention codified from G-001 increment-1 practice: index entries carry status only, never progress; incremental progress lives in the detail file's ## Progress section (landed/remaining); achieved flip requires the remaining-work list resolved - a partial increment never flips a goal
- goals/AGENTS.md rewritten for the split (required 4-field header, one detail file per goal, orphan rules covering archive/); root AGENTS.md Child DOX Index + Repo-wide Notes updated; GOALS-archive.md preamble updated
- stale detail-file paths updated to goals/archive/ in src/lib/app-punkscript/punkscript.tcl (comment), runtimebash_wsl.test, wslprobe.tcl and the G-042 detail file; propagated copies (root lib/, src/vfs/_vfscommon.vfs, src/_build) left to refresh via normal build steps
- no project version bump: governance docs and source comments only, no user-visible shell behaviour

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).
