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. Root AGENTS.md
scriptlib/developer ownership note widened to cover developer utilities.

- 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

Policy (GOALS.md maintenance rules, mirrored in root AGENTS.md and goals/AGENTS.md):
- agents apply goal-entry adds/edits only on user request, proposal-first: show the
proposed wording and get explicit approval before writing (replaces "only the user
adds or edits goals" - the user was applying agent-drafted edits by hand anyway)
- suggesting candidate goals is welcome and encouraged when grounded in the work at
hand; a suggestion is a flagged proposal, never a file edit; bulk goal surveys stay
out of bounds
- detail-file updates from user-directed work on a goal proceed without pre-approval,
reported in the completion summary; index stays canonical
- unchanged: achieved-flip on met acceptance (reported), no proposed->active flips
G-038 (user-approved):
- Acceptance gains a post-restart terminal-query clause: a code-interp query (e.g.
'help console') must succeed instead of being refused by the stale settled
can_respond=0 anchor
- detail file records the proven mechanism for the post-restart console failure
(piped phase settles can_respond=0; punkshell.tcl opens CONIN$ as a new channel
leaving the repl thread's stdin as the exhausted pipe; the anchored default console
keeps the dead pair; forced resettle honestly re-settles 0 via layer-1 eof), the
rebind requirements (re-point {in out} AND unsettle), and the hidden-console
repro/regression harness

G-036: the CloseHandle trap script is embedded in the detail file (was a
dangling reference to session-ephemeral scratchpad). G-038: the
repl::reopen_stdin race analysis from the G-036 investigation is written in
(the prior cross-reference pointed at content that existed only in
conversation), and the goal now explicitly owns that path's fate - it runs
for real on console-EOF at an interactive prompt, and the caller-driven
restart should cover that scenario so reopen_stdin can be retired. G-037:
twapi vendorlib(5.0b1)/kit-vfs(5.2.0) drift recorded - divergence exists in
both directions, so the sync step needs explicit authority semantics.

User note recorded: with per-subshell configs (G-008/G-009), piping
`subshell <name>` then going interactive should reasonably land IN that
subshell (quit unwinding to the initial shell). Does not fall out of the
continuity changes automatically - the subshell stack is repl control flow
and unwinds at pipe-EOF under the current nested model. Options recorded:
re-enter captured subshell stack on restart (fights nesting) vs the natural
fit under G-002 non-nested subshells with console targeting (reattach
reopened console to innermost active subshell). Also noted: a -subshell
flag on the shell subcommand as the primary entry (G-032 launcher-args
candidate).

User identified the general least-surprise violation beyond the original
error-retention draft: `'set ::jjj blah' | punkexe` reaches an interactive
prompt where ::jjj does not exist - the piped-EOF restart silently swaps in
a fresh codethread/code interp, discarding variables, procs, packages, cwd
and errorInfo. Goal reworked to session continuity via the caller-driven
restart identified during G-036 (repl::start eof-restart done-mode without
codethread teardown; app-punkshell restarts on the reopened console without
repl::init). Error inspectability becomes an acceptance criterion that
likely falls out free (no re-init means no boot-noise re-stamping of
errorInfo); the standalone error-record mechanism is demoted to a recorded
fallback. Detail file renamed to match (slug change, ID preserved).
