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

New lean app package src/lib/app-punkscript behind the (previously stub)
script subcommand in punk_main.tcl:
- `<commands> | <punkexe> script` runs piped stdin to EOF - no trailing
exit needed; `<punkexe> script <file> ?args?` runs a file with
conventional ::argv0/::argv (bare non-subcommand first arg still
reclassifies to the file form). Script may itself read stdin in the
file form.
- Default punk shell environment via shared definitions (package punk
registers deck aliases e.g dev; punk::aliascore::init adds the utility
aliases) - no local alias lists, no boilerplate in piped one-liners.
- Honest exit codes: 0 success, 1 on error with errorInfo on stderr,
script''s own exit honoured. No shellfilter stacks/transforms, no
logging side effects, no interactive fallback (terminal stdin with no
scriptname is a usage error, never a blocking read or shell).
- Stdin form echoes the script''s final result when non-empty (one-shot
eval ergonomics: return-value commands like `dev projects.work <glob>`
emit their table without a puts wrapper); file form keeps pure script
semantics.
Verified on both generations (punk902z/tcl9 from _build - bin deploy was
file-locked; punksys/tcl8.6 from bin): piped success/error/exit-code,
file form with args and stdin passthrough, missing-file error, motivating
one-liner `dev projects.work *tomlish*` emitting the project table with
exit 0, `src` mode combination (dev modules load), and `shell` subcommand
regression smoke. G-015 flipped to achieved 2026-07-07 per GOALS.md
rules; goal detail records the verification and the manual console
spot-check item. Project version 0.3.0 (new user-visible shell
capability - minor bump).

Not a mode of app-punkshell. The acceptance is defined by absence (no
shellfilter stacks, no logging side effects, no interactive fallback),
which a package that never loads that machinery guarantees by
construction; app-punkshell''s load-time behaviour (shellfilter stacks
with syslog/file targets writing punkshell_*.log into the caller''s cwd,
logging threads) is wrong for one-shot calls; isolation caps the blast
radius of shell-path machinery. Duplication mitigation: the default punk
shell module/alias environment definition is factored into a shared
module-level definition (punk::aliascore as seed) consumed by both app
packages - share definitions via modules, not launcher control flow.
Package shape previews the G-031 registration model, as app-tomlish
demonstrated.

G-030 (proposed): make.tcl - the first surface a developer sees - parses
subcommands/options via punk::args and showcases the tabled usage for
help and argument errors; every interactive y/n prompt gains a declared
flag equivalent (interactive stdin prompts as today; flag proceeds;
non-interactive stdin without the flag fails fast with usage instead of
hanging or half-aborting) so agents drive make.tcl with arguments rather
than piped y/n; punk::args joins the bootstrap-tracked staleness set.
Degradation is a hard requirement: boot stays self-contained and the
repair commands (check/bootsupport/modules) keep working with plain
fallback help when the bootsupport punk::args or the ANSI rendering
stack is stale/unavailable - this week''s stale-fileutil and
stale-textblock incidents are the cautionary tales.
G-015 detail: recorded the runx -tcl result-shape observation (dict keyed
{result stdout stderr}, no exitcode key unlike exec mode).
G-020 detail: stamped the 2026-07-07 decision - acceptance gates on a
full testable Windows system without requiring other platforms first.

G-015: complete the punk executable `script` subcommand - run a script file
or piped stdin (scriptname optional) in an interp preloaded with the default
punk shell modules/aliases, honest exit codes, no shellfilter transforms, no
interactive-shell fallthrough. Replaces the fragile `...;exit | punkexe`
repl-pipe pattern (currently a stub in punk_main.tcl that only emits stderr
diagnostics). Lean bare-script execution deferred to a later `tclsh`
subcommand expansion.
G-016: extend `dev projects.work` to discover git-based projects alongside
fossil (git has no central registry - enumeration-source candidates recorded
in the detail file).
G-017 (index-only): once G-015 lands, direct agents via repo guidance to
locate sibling projects with a piped projects.work call instead of scanning
the filesystem.
