- GOALS.md: "Goals-system: v2" front matter; canonical "Goals system versions"
section; Scope structure rule (elements separated by '; ' at top level,
commas only inside parens/braces); Child DOX Index note in root AGENTS.md
- goals_lint.tcl: new finding for top-level commas in Scope lines
(paren/brace depth-aware)
- goals_xref.tcl: repo-local configuration via goals/xref.conf (path roots,
stop words, file extensions, reference containers, module dirs,
bare_path_roots, prefix_anchors); defaults byte-identical to previous
behaviour (verified on this tree)
- goals/AGENTS.md: cross-repo goal references drop the G- prefix; xref.conf
documented in Verification
- Scope delimiter normalisation across GOALS.md, GOALS-archive.md and all
detail files, live and archived: 224 lines, top-level commas only;
conservation verified (goals_xref report byte-identical pre/post, diff
hunks are Scope lines only). Archived tier converted under explicit user
approval; sanctioned exception recorded in GOALS-archive.md.

A word rejected by an OPTIONAL argument's allocation screen (G-071
restricted-choice screen, or the basic int/double/bool/number/dict type
screen) that subsequently overflows the argument list now reports the
specific rejection instead of "Received more values than can be assigned":
- choiceviolation naming the word and allowed choices, with -badarg/-badval
and the final-validation message template (Leading/Trailing argument
attribution), for choice-screen rejections
- typemismatch naming the declared (normalized) type, with -badarg/-badval,
for basic-type screen rejections
Mechanism: private::get_dict_can_assign_value returns a 'rejection' record
(single-member clauses only; literal-category mismatches deliberately not
recorded); get_dict_form collects first-rejection-per-word from the three
allocation call sites (leader/value split trial, leaders loop, values loop)
into a per-form store; the two toomanyarguments raise sites prefer a
recorded rejection for the unassignable word. Genuinely-surplus words still
report toomanyarguments; words consumed by later slots parse unchanged;
multiform selection (rank_form_failures) untouched.
errorselection.test _GAP pins flipped to the pointed expectations (pre-fix
behaviour pinned in the previous commit). punk::args buildversion
0.12.0 -> 0.12.1.
Closeout: G-082 flipped achieved + archived (index -> GOALS-archive.md,
detail -> goals/archive/ with mechanism/verification/residue recorded);
G-073 note updated to point at the new rejection-record seam;
src/modules/AGENTS.md authoring-ergonomics bullet re-documented (-optional 0
workaround no longer needed on >= 0.12.1; make.tcl keeps it - it runs
against the bootsupport 0.12.0 snapshot). Project version 0.12.28 +
CHANGELOG.
Verified: full punk/args suite 228/224/0-failed (4 intended skips) and
punk/ns 57/57 under Tcl 9.0.3; errorselection.test 7/7 under Tcl 8.7;
make.tcl frobnicate still pointed; goals_lint clean.

Set G-082 active (user-directed). New errorselection.test pins current
single-form error selection before the fix:
- _GAP pins: an optional choice-restricted leader (make.tcl dispatch shape),
an optional choice-restricted value, and an optional typed (int) value each
reject a word that then overflows - all report generic
{toomanyarguments N index I} with no -badarg/-badval attribution,
discarding the specific rejection (regression vs punk::args 0.5.0)
- reference pins: the -optional 0 equivalents report pointed choiceviolation
with -badarg/-badval and Leading/Trailing argument messages
- guards: genuine surplus stays toomanyarguments; a rejected word consumed by
a later slot parses cleanly; multiform failures still route through
rank_form_failures (noformmatch)
Verified: 7/7 pass against the unfixed module under Tcl 9.0.3.

New proposed goal G-082: single-form parse error selection should prefer an
optional argument's specific choice/type rejection over the generic
"more values than can be assigned" overflow (regression vs punk::args 0.5.0
found while dogfooding in G-030; the -optional 0 workaround sites in make.tcl
and the AGENTS authoring-ergonomics bullet are flagged for revisiting when it
ships).
Sibling notes parked in existing proposed goals:
- G-028: make.tcl's name-only process-sweep misidentification (unrelated
same-named executables) - full-path matching rides the same
process-identification infrastructure as the locker report.
- G-025: punk-exe-hosted make.tcl runs the kit's pre-loaded module copies, not
bootsupport snapshots - a self-report surface for running-interp module
provenance would make the mixing observable.
- G-073: reciprocal relation to G-082 (both want the "surface the specific
rejection" seam in validation error reporting).
- G-075: synopsis renders the definition id rather than @cmd -name - consider
a fallback for non-command ids when reworking id rendering.
goals_lint: unchanged (only the pre-existing G-078/G-081 index-mirror findings).
