New goal (user-approved wording): punkshell exit paths on unix ttys restore
blocking on the shared tty file description and drain pending stdout/stderr
(bounded best-effort) before teardown - closing the tclIO behaviour where
stdin's non-blocking read windows make stdout non-blocking underneath,
'flush' silently no-ops once a background flush is scheduled, and TclInExit
discards EAGAIN'd buffers (measured 2026-08-03: 161/5000 lines survive exit
on a throttled WSL pty; ~498KB pending after a 'successful' flush). Guard
homes in punk::console, invoked after the G-038 eof-restart decision point;
acceptance includes complete delivery under a slow reader, bounded exit under
a dead reader, unchanged windows/piped behaviour, ARCHITECTURE.md exit-section
documentation, and a unix-pty-gated pin. Related: G-038, G-013, G-011, G-090
(+ archived G-036 lineage).

New goal (user-approved wording): 'make.tcl bakelist' gains per-kit payload/
runtime freshness verdicts answering "would a rebake change this kit?" without
baking - punkkit-stamp.toml schema 2 records content digests of each kit's
assembly inputs (payload vfs manifests via the assembler's existing per-entry
CRCs, runtime artifact digest, resolved mapvfs declaration, bake schema) and
bakelist compares them against the current tree. Verdicts degrade per kit to
'n/a (<reason>)' (pre-digest stamp, unreadable container, mk4 driver
unavailable) without aborting the listing; zip kits read pure-Tcl via
punk::zip, mk4 kits only where a metakit driver loads. Context records the
existing deployed column's real (narrower) role: deploy-hop integrity for the
locked-exe trap. Related: G-131, G-158, G-023, G-147, G-137.

get_size_using_tput invoked tput once with two capnames ('tput lines cols').
Multi-capname support varies by tput implementation: ncurses >= 6.1 and the
BSD tputs emit one value per capname, but older ncurses treats the second
capname as an (ignored) parameter of the first and emits only the first
value - lassign then set cols to "" and the mechanism returned
'columns {} rows <n>' without erroring. Because size_via_query_mechanisms
caches mechanisms fastest-first after a first-call timing probe, and a tput
fork outpaces the ANSI cursor round-trips on unix, the malformed tput result
won every call after the first (first call returns the probe pass's
cursorrestore result - hence 'worked first time' on WSL, then
'columns {} rows 66' and dependent failures e.g punk::ansi::example).
- get_size_using_tput: autodetect multi-capname support by result shape on
first use, cached per tput path (capable tputs stay single-fork;
single-cap-only tputs settle into two forks); results validated as
positive integers, else the mechanism errors and drops out.
- new get_size_using_sttysize mechanism: 'stty size' on the input tty -
single fork, fixed '<rows> <cols>' output shape (GNU/busybox/BSD),
slotted ahead of tput in the probe order; errors cleanly on non-tty input.
- size_via_query_mechanisms hardened with size_result_valid: mechanism
results must be well-formed {columns <int> rows <int>} dicts in the probe
pass, vt52 branch and cached loop - covers this regression class and the
ANSI mechanisms' {columns {} rows {}} timeout results (previously a
no-responder tty's first get_size returned that malformed dict).
- get_size_using_chanconfigure: note that tcl 9.0.2 unix tty channels expose
no -winsize (windows console channels do) and stacked/reflected stdout
masks the underlying tty's options.
Verified on WSL pty (266x66): sttysize/tput (multi-cap and forced two-fork
paths) all return columns 266 rows 66; get_size x3 consistent (pre-fix same
harness: first call malformed, user-reported columns {} thereafter). Windows
piped smoke: sttysize errors cleanly, tput fallback accepted, get_size
consistent 80x24 defaults, no errors. make.tcl modules mint OK.

tee_to_pipe declared the transchan 'clear' op; the Tcl core delivers 'clear'
before every write when declared (the G-145 defect class - see
goals/archive/G-145-piped-usage-ansi-remnants.md) and the handler discarded
o_encbuf, the held partial multi-byte character. The following chunk then began
with orphan continuation bytes and could never decode (the tail-backoff only
trims the end), so whole chunks accumulated in o_encbuf and successive clears
discarded them - eating contiguous multi-KB ranges of multibyte-dense output on
the unix repl console stack: 'i <cmd>' help tables displayed with missing
paragraphs, fused mid-word seam lines, or truncated bottom rows (WSL and native
linux ttys; windows unaffected). Isolation repro: 393/600 lines lost with
clear-per-write vs 0/600 without.
- tee_to_pipe: 'clear' no longer declared in initialize, so the core never
delivers it (same shape as the G-145 fix in ::punkboot::ansistrip); the
method is kept as a state-preserving no-op with a warning comment.
- flush repaired in tee_to_pipe, tee_to_log and logonly: all three referenced
an undeclared o_buffered variable (copy-paste from the o_buffered-bearing
ansiwrap/ansistrip classes) and threw on every invocation. Each now holds an
undecodable partial char in o_encbuf for the next write and emits any
decodable remainder per its class semantics.
- Verified: transform isolation harnesses clean at all chunk sizes with
clear-per-write; WSL end-to-end (linux kit visitor mode on a script(1) pty)
shows all previously-missing define/list table content present;
'make.tcl modules' mint OK.

make.tcl bootsupport: commandstack-0.6.0.tm now pulled from minted root
modules per the repointed manifest; superseded bootsupport copies
removed - packagepreference-0.2.0 auto-pruned (punkcheck DELETE),
commandstack-0.3/0.4 removed by hand (their punkcheck lineage names the
departed src/vendormodules source, so the prune conservatively left
them; the manifest is non-glob single-version intent).

commandstack is first-party (src/modules source, minted to root modules/
since the module left vendormodules) - the manifest still pointed at
src/vendormodules, which carries no commandstack-*.tm, so bootsupport
was frozen at the stale 0.3/0.4 copies. Repoint to base `modules` (the
packagepreference pattern) in include_modules.config and the tclpackages
toml record so `make.tcl bootsupport` promotes the minted 0.6.0.
Layout manifest copies sync on the next make.tcl modules run.

commandstack 0.6.0:
- tokenid unique+monotonic per (renamer,command): counter increments the
real namespace variable (was an apply-local copy stuck at 1). Same-
renamer re-renames chain through the full stack, are removable by
exact token, and a third rename no longer collides on the parked name.
- get_next_command resolves via a maintained token->implementation dict
(O(1) dispatch, no lsearch stack scan; parked stacks keep dispatching).
- get_IMPLEMENTOR: ::tcl::info::cmdtype qualified in guard and call -
the builtin classification branch is reachable (undetermined on 8.6).
- debug validates its argument with a clean error naming on_off.
- Channel discipline: informational warnings debug-gated on stderr,
stray bare 'puts stderr' removed, errors stay errors.
- Records carry trailing did_rename 0|1 (leading token/renamer key order
contract unchanged); no-rename returns {implementation {} did_rename 0}.
- rename_command errors when -renamer appears in a non-leading position.
- get_stack raw-key-first (Rename_stack-parked stacks retrievable);
Rename_stack returns 1/0; Delete_stack errors while records are live.
- New delegation helper commandstack::next (PUNKARGS-documented, in help).
- known_renamers defaults reconciled to the vendored packages' actual
renamer strings (packagetrace packagesuppress).
punk::packagepreference 0.2.1: install re-install guard reads record key
'renamer' (was 'rename' - a second install threw instead of returning 0).
Tests: the five _GAP_ defect pins flipped to fixed-behaviour pins; new
pins for did_rename/key-order + token-map consistency, silent cycle with
debug off, -renamer misplacement, commandstack::next delegation incl
caller context, Rename_stack/get_stack parking, Delete_stack guard;
new packagepreference installguard.test (double-install returns 0,
uninstall/re-install cycle with fresh tokenid). commandstack suite 33/33,
packagepreference 6/6 - green on tclsh90 (9.0.3) and punk86 (8.6).

Two user-approved proposed goals from the 2026-08-03 commandstack
characterisation arc (git 145e785c):
- G-160 commandstack hygiene pass: fix the suite-pinned defects (tokenid
stuck at 1 with duplicate-token dispatch bypass, unreachable
get_IMPLEMENTOR builtin branch, debug arg validation, stray bare puts,
Delete_stack live-rename recursion, packagepreference rename/renamer
guard key) and land the ergonomics items (did_rename record key appended,
-renamer placement errors, O(1) token dispatch, delegation helper,
Rename_stack/get_stack parking retrievability, known_renamers defaults
reconciliation). Acceptance keyed to the _GAP_ test flips; overlap survey
surfaced only G-035 (sibling surface on packagepreference, related-noted).
- G-161 tcltestrun failure parsing robust to multi-line test descriptions:
the parser currently misses multi-line opening banners, misreads the
closing banner as an opener and swallows all later events including the
summary line; goal makes it tolerant so the src/tests/AGENTS.md
single-line-description contract can stand down to style guidance.
Overlap survey: no intersecting live goals.
goals_lint: clean (84 active-index goals, 77 archived).

Module (src/modules/commandstack-999999.0a1.0.tm, 0.4.1 -> 0.5.0):
- commandstack::help now returns a real dependency-free API overview (was
an empty string): rename/remove workflow, COMMANDSTACKNEXT delegation
contract, inspection commands, in-tree users.
- PUNKARGS documentation blocks added for every API proc (help, debug,
get_stack, get_next_command, basecall, rename_command, remove_rename,
show_stack, Delete_stack, Rename_stack, util::get_IMPLEMENTOR,
lib::splitx, lib::split_body), registered lazily via
::punk::args::register::NAMESPACES - no punk::args dependency added.
Tests (new src/tests/modules/commandstack/testsuites/commandstack/commandstack.test,
29 tests, green on tclsh90 9.0.3 + punk86 8.6):
- usage-driven characterisation of the behaviours in-tree consumers rely on
(punk::packagepreference, packagetrace, packagesuppress, punk auto_execok,
punk::nav::fs cd): record shape/key-order contract, implementation {} as
the no-rename signal, COMMANDSTACKNEXT/COMMANDSTACKNEXT_ORIGINAL
delegation, multi-renamer stacking with removal in any order, builtin
renames, remove_rename argument forms, show_stack fallback render,
get_IMPLEMENTOR/split_body/splitx, help, lazy punk::args registration.
- known defects pinned as _GAP_ tests: per-renamer tokenid stuck at 1
(apply-local counter var) so same-renamer re-renames stack duplicate
tokens whose dispatch bypasses intermediate layers, and a third rename
collides on the parked-implementation name; get_IMPLEMENTOR builtin
branch unreachable (unqualified info commands pattern inside
commandstack::util); Delete_stack under a live rename self-delegates to
recursion; stray bare puts stderr writes literal stderr to stdout.
- behavioural tests run in fresh child interps (module sourced by path,
::puts shim captures module warnings for assertion).
Docs:
- src/tests/AGENTS.md: new contract - test descriptions must be single
content line (multi-line descriptions make tcltest failure banners
multi-line; punk::tcltestrun parser then swallows all later events
including the summary line - discovered authoring this suite).
- src/tests/modules/AGENTS.md: commandstack child index entry.
- punkproject.toml 0.49.2 + CHANGELOG entry.

The G-135 checker's directory walk skipped only {.git _build} - authored
2026-07-28, before the G-155 _build -> _mint/_bake workdir renames. A

The bin-folder launch shim sourced main.tcl from ../src/_build/<kit>.vfs
trees - the pre-G-155 kit-assembly workdir. Since the src/_bake rename
those paths resolve only to the stale leftover _build trees, so the shim
would silently launch outdated payloads. Nothing references or deploys
it (no punk_wrap.toml scriptset, no bin/punk.tcl copy; bin/punk.ps1 is
an unrelated multishell polyglot), and its fauxlink fallback comments
predate current vfs practice. Removed at user direction rather than
retargeted to src/_bake.

register_all_tm (deep .tm discovery at every namespace depth, used by
'dev lib.search') knew only the pre-G-155 _build workdir name: the
filesystem directory walk skipped _build dirs and the tm-file filter
dropped */_build/* paths, but the renamed staging area <srcdir>/_mint
(and the src/_bake kit workdir) were scanned - loose staged .tm files
were registered as junk modules (measured against src/modules: 9 junk
registrations - _mint::gridplus, punk::mix::_mint::templates,
test::punk::_mint::* etc).
Both sites now skip _build, _mint and _bake (the tm-file filter also
guards the zipfs whole-tree listing branch); register_all_tm help text
updated. Manual-version bump mechanics applied per src/modules/AGENTS.md

tm_path_additional_ifneeded (punk::tcltestrun) and its inline equivalent in
src/modules/test/runtestmodules.tcl called punk::path::subfolders with
-exclude {**/_build/** **/_build} - the G-155 _build -> _mint staging rename
never reached these call sites, so staged pods in <srcdir>/_mint were being
registered as bogus modules (e.g punk::mix::_mint::templates 0.2.0; measured
99 leaked _mint subfolder entries under src/modules across the two staging
trees src/modules/_mint + src/modules/punk/mix/_mint).
Both call sites now use the full option name and the pruning ***-tail form:
-exclude-paths {**/_build/*** **/_mint/***} (_build kept for legacy
checkouts). The ***-tail form prunes descent per punk::path 0.5.0, and
kit-baked punk::path 0.4.0 already accepts both the literal -exclude-paths
name and *** segments (G-093), so kit-child shadowing scenarios stay
compatible.

new built-in 'help' subcommand + '-help' / '<subcommand> -help' render
tabled usage from the moduledoc::punkexe ids plus live registrations
(per-kit resolved_def clones (script)::punkexe.launcher/.launcherhelp);
unknown first arg naming no existing file (and no lib:* reference) is
refused with usage (stderr exit 1) instead of a silent script attempt;
buildinfo enforces its no-arguments contract through punk::args (pinned
one-liner + tabled usage, exit 2 unchanged). Registration extension
::punkboot::project_subcommand_info (summary/argsid/package/parse -
documented by moduledoc::punkboot 0.2.0): project subcommands appear in
help by registration alone and may opt arguments into declared parsing.
Carve-outs: tool-style kits keep help flags routed to their processor
(tomlish parity); tclsh intercepts a help flag only as sole argument
(stock dash parity); argsid-less registrations keep -help passthrough.
G-030 degradation doctrine: lazy guarded requires (normal boots never
load punk::args), PUNKBOOT_PLAIN=1 hook, plain-list fallback, rendering
degrades independently of parsing. 8.6 trap fixed en route: punk::args
choices-grid render needs punk::lib's lpop shim - guarded require added
(verified tabled help on metakit punk86).
moduledoc::punkexe 0.4.0: (script)::punkexe::help definition; top-level
refusal rule + help discovery; per-subcommand -help notes; buildinfo
rejection shape; passthrough-vs-parsed decision recorded.
Verified on zipfs (punk902z, punk91) and metakit (punk86) kits;
launcherhelp.test 22/22 (incl fake-thin-main registration harness +
metakit leg); punkexe subtree 140/136/4skip/0fail; full suite failures
(4) are pre-existing in untouched subsystems. Goal flipped achieved +
archive record + live-tier sweep (G-038 rewrite, pointers to G-077 and
G-089); detail-file move to goals/archive follows as a pure rename.
Layout _config trio + _vfscommon core seed hand-swept (byte-identical
to masters). GOALS.md staged as the G-032-removal hunk only - the
uncommitted G-159 draft entry is left to its author.

Acceptance fully met: per-defect dispositions recorded, module tarjar-free,
suite green (punk91 7/7, tclsh90 7/7, punk86 6/7 with the 8.6 zipfs
limitation recorded per G-034), 0.1.6 re-vendored with suite passing,
tarjar-artifact dispositions user-confirmed (all five keeps, none deleted).
Index entry moved to GOALS-archive.md; sweep updates pending-tense mentions
in G-029/G-109/G-157 and pushes actionable findings to G-034 (redirect =
zero-dep load path; 8.6 vfs::zip dll-load measured) and G-110 (8.6
copy-to-temp datapoint). Detail-file rename to goals/archive/ follows as a
pure-move commit.

Tar-era connection API removed from modpod (connect/disconnect/get,
system::connect_if_not/myname/myfullname - broken since the tarjar era, no
callers anywhere); is_valid_tm_version fixed (versionparts substitution
error); make_mountable_zip debug output removed (the undeclared ansistring
dependency made -offsettype file error under the module's declared deps;
stray ::last_header global gone); struct::set dependency dropped; module
greps tarjar-free. The load stub gains the unwrapped #modpod-<pkg>-<ver>
redirect: an extracted folder beside the .tm is sourced directly - loads
with neither zipfs nor vfs::zip available.
Re-vendored 0.1.6 through the established channels (modpod checkout mint ->
vendormodules -> bootsupport -> modules staging -> vfscommon). First modpod
testsuite at src/tests/modules/modpod/testsuites/modpod/roundtrip.test:
wrap/load round-trips - real-disk + zipfs module paths, both -offsettype
forms, unwrapped redirect, probe-discovered binary payload (no committed
binaries). Green: punk91 tcl9.1 kit 7/7, native tclsh90 7/7, punk86 8.6.17
6/7 (zipfs-container test skips on 8.6 - recorded per G-034).
G-111 activated at user request (activation overlap survey recorded);
per-defect dispositions, run evidence and tarjar-artifact assessment
proposals in goals/G-111-modpod-tidy-tests.md - artifact dispositions
await user confirmation. GOALS.md G-111 Scope version reference repaired
to glob form per goals-system v3 drift rule.

New proposed goal consuming G-101 follow-on items 1-3: punkshell 8.6
kits bake on the suite-built mk4 head via make.tcl (sdx ladder
suite-shell rung as a shared seam with G-157 step 4, bi-class head
variant, parity bakes for kit.punk86/kit.punkbi passing existing gates,
clean-path boot comparison vs tclkit-baked siblings, no new committed
binary, third-party-tclkit disposition record). Detail file carries the
2026-08-03 overlap survey (strongest: G-157; G-131/G-130/G-110/G-116/
G-137 related; libfetch/bin siblings judged not related) and the
drafting decisions approved at review.
GOALS.md staged hunk-scoped: the concurrent uncommitted G-111
activation + modpod re-vendor working state is left untouched for its
own commit.

Follow-on to G-004, extending the commit ban from executables to
opaque-container VFS artifacts (metakit/cookfs and similar non-zip
containers), executable-headed or not. Index entry + detail file with
overlap survey; tracked instances inventoried (bin/sdx.kit,
src/bin/sdx.kit, layout-shipped project-0.1 copy); goals_lint clean.

Both goals flip achieved with full acceptance verification recorded in their
detail files (G-031: componentized boot proven on punkshell kits, a generated
project and tomlish; G-025: buildinfo stamp/report verified across kit,
renamed-copy, code-interp, tclsh-hosted and unstamped contexts). Detail files
move to goals/archive/ (pure renames; flip edits committed with the move);
index entries move GOALS.md -> GOALS-archive.md records. Reference sweep per
goals/AGENTS.md Archive rules: pending-tense mentions rewritten with archive
markers and actionable outcomes pushed to G-018, G-023, G-026, G-032
(registration model + buildinfo now concrete render sources), G-038 (piped
exitinfo quirk re-measured and recorded as its territory), G-089
(boot_state IS the packagemode hint surface), G-131 (mains collapsed - land
detection in the core), G-137 (stamp exists - reconcile RT_VERSION against
it). goals_lint clean (81 active, 75 archived).

shellspy/punk/script/shell report the missing package by subcommand name and
exit 1 instead of a raw package-require trace - found adopting the shared
core in the tomlish kits (app-tomlish only; proven there first, master
replay identical by diff). Layout _config/_vfscommon copies refreshed.
tomlish adoption itself is committed in its own fossil (bbc68a3f) - the
G-031 derived-project proof.
