New root ARCHITECTURE.md: descriptive, pointer-first map of boot/launch, interp/thread topology, console abstraction, module loading, build/provenance/kits and the test harness - own lane beside DOX (what you must do) and the goals system (what changed and why). In-flux subsystems documented as goal pointers only.
scriptlib/developer/architecture_lint.tcl validates the doc's reference contract: backticked repo paths exist, G-<id> references resolve against both goal indexes, 400-line size budget. Plain tclsh, no deps, mutation-tested.
Root AGENTS.md: Child DOX Index entry, Closeout item 5 (update-or-prune described mechanisms + run the linter), scriptlib/developer inventory.

- new punkexe suite (17 tests): dispatch contract (script-arg argv0/argv/
info-script state, honest exit codes, piped no-arg eval, stock arg forms,
lib: refusal) plus the piperepl launch-state contract on patched kits
(istty/dorepl/evalinput published, piped script-arg state all-zero,
unconsumed-piped-input safety default, evalinput opt-in ordering, script
consuming stdin itself) and the unpatched degraded-mode notice
- hang rule baked in: no test or fixture may set ::tclsh(dorepl) (the
console-reopen path blocks under a piped harness; G-106-recipe territory)
- patched-kit resolution: env PUNK_PIPEREPL_TEST_EXE, else the punkexe if it
probes patched, else bin/punk9_beta.exe / punk9bi_beta.exe
- encoding coverage is byte-level (utf-8 vs iso8859-1 fixture; [format %c 233]
keeps the .test file pure ascii, runner-encoding-proof)
- patches/README.md: corrected the tcl_interactive divergence note (console
script-arg runs READ 1 where stock reads 0 - piped launches identical; the
early link stays load-bearing for the piped prompt opt-in) and recorded the
'? reopen stdin from console' stdout residue as known

- a leading '-' argument is no longer treated as a script name: all args stay in
::argv and the subcommand proceeds to the repl (tty) or stdin evaluation
(piped), matching stock tclsh
- '-encoding name fileName' sources the script with the named encoding;
incomplete -encoding forms fall through to the argv path as stock does
- lib: scriptlib names are refused with a pointer to the 'script' subcommand
(exit 1): the tclsh subcommand keeps plain-tclsh semantics, no punk modules

Field report (jcross1, Windows PowerShell 5): Get-FileHash not
recognized during list -remote while Write-Host/Invoke-WebRequest
worked. Root cause class: Get-FileHash is a SCRIPT-defined function in
PS 5.1's Microsoft.PowerShell.Utility, resolved via PSModulePath
autoload - a damaged PSModulePath (pwsh7 path pollution, overridden env,
redirected user module dirs) removes it while the module's compiled
cmdlets keep working. Effects were wrong results, not just noise:
spurious UPDATE AVAILABLE rows (null local hash) and fail-closed fetch
verification.
New Get-PunkFileSha1 computes sha1 via .NET (SHA1.Create over a stream,
lowercase hex) at all three former Get-FileHash sites; works on any
PowerShell edition/state incl FIPS, and emits a one-time informational
note when the damaged condition is detected (chosen over
detect-and-offer-install/env-repair: nothing to install once the
dependency is gone, and persistent environment mutation from a fetch
tool is disproportionate). Bash payload already probes
sha1sum/shasum/sha1/openssl - unchanged. bin/AGENTS.md records the
no-script-module-cmdlets payload rule.
Verified: hash parity with Get-FileHash under powershell 5 and pwsh 7;
list -remote via the rewrapped .cmd (correct Same-version rows);
damaged-PS simulation (probe forced unresolvable): note printed once,
zero errors, hashing correct; scriptwrap roundtrip pin
runtimecmd_roundtrip PASS (payload + regenerated bin output committed
together). CHANGELOG bullet added under the in-flight 0.19.0 entry
(rides the user's pending release-notes commit).

User direction: the BAWT-shipped tclvfs 1.5.0 comes from the forTcl9
branch of the same core.tcl-lang.org/tclvfs repo our trunk ref trailed
at 1.4.2 - tcl9 suites move to it (a future suite_tcl86 keeps trunk;
recorded in sources.config). Both flows updated: sources.config ref +
build.zig.zon per-checkin tarball pin (75a2672991).
build_tclvfs_shared.zig gets the G-107 derivation treatment: every
version-derived name (package dir, dlls, rc fields, configured
vfs.tcl/pkgIndex.tcl) now follows the checkout's AC_INIT via
versionInfo() - the hardcoded 1.4.2 was the same stamped-mismatch class
as the thread 3.0.1 case. build905 consumers use the derived info
(szip staging, family staging, family_check args, artifact metadata).
forTcl9 build glue: export guard is now lowercase BUILD_vfs;
HAVE_SYS_STAT_H defined; and an include-order shim TU works around
zig's mingw headers defining __stat64 as a MACRO for _stat64 - tcl.h's
'typedef struct __stat64 Tcl_StatBuf' parsed before <sys/stat.h> binds
a forever-incomplete tag and forTcl9's direct Tcl_StatBuf field access
fails (MSVC has a real tag; upstream never sees this; -include trips
zig cc CacheCheckFailed, hence the generated-TU overlay).
Verification: all three family members PASS self-containment with vfs
1.5.0 incl the functional zip-mount round-trip; tclvfs test gate PASS
51/42/9/0 twice-deterministic - the branch CLEARED the whole 1.4.2-era
baseline (glob-nomatch drift entries now pass, network vfsFtp/vfsUrl
now skip) - baseline re-established empty. familyrev default bumped to
2 (r1 published+immutable; r2 emitted locally + staged to the runtime
store; r2 publication is a user decision). Wrapped kits confirm the
resolution skew the user found is gone: punk9bi_beta script-mode
'package require vfs' now 1.5.0 (boot loads the runtime's copy - both
tiers now agree).

User-requested audit of naive [package versions] selection: punk::apps'
appinfo 'latest' used a plain lexical lsort (misorders 1.10 vs 1.9) AND
took lindex 0 - the LOWEST version - as latest (the '#todo - natsort!'
site). Now lsort -command {package vcompare} taking the highest, with
empty (unversioned-main) entries excluded before comparison since
vcompare errors on empty operands; only-unversioned yields latest "".
Audit sweep results: every other punk-owned consumer already sorts with
vcompare (punk::lib repl/udp checks, libunknown, repl autocomplete,
loadedlib copy/promote, punk_main/project_main starkit selection - the
latter even carries the 'package versions does not always return
versions in increasing order!' warning comment); packagepreference's
uses are mappings/exact-pins, not max-picks. Naive sorts remain only in

User-approved draft from the publication-session design exchanges:
embed a copy of the artifact record in the attached image (embed-then-
hash ordering; sidecar + sha1sums stay the integrity authority) with a
punk-runtime 'info' action for stray/renamed binaries (zip-central-
directory read preferred over executing the target), AND harden the
record as schema v1: schema, build_id (embedded+sidecar correlation
uuid), origin (canonical repo built FOR - the timing-safe reframe of
first-published-on; mirrors preserve it), packager (declarative;
minisign noted as the verification complement), project/project_url,
license summary, build_host_platform. Emitted records gain brief toml
'#' comments for non-obvious fields (line-based consumers ignore them
by construction). Lifecycle fields deliberately rejected as repo-level
curation. Next emission after landing = r2; published r1 immutable.

The published r1 artifact metadata recorded 'unrecorded' checkout uuids
for tclvfs/tcllib/tklib: fossil only writes manifest.uuid when the
REPOSITORY enables the versioned 'manifest' setting, which those
upstreams do not (tcl/tk/thread do). The checkout-scoped setting is
ours to control: 'fossil settings manifest u' materializes manifest.uuid
immediately and keeps it current across updates - now applied
idempotently to every staged checkout on each build. Verified on the
live stage (tclvfs f082c47f, tcllib c784f6fd, tklib 2d53beaf now
recorded); future emissions carry full provenance (r1 stays immutable
as published). Zon-flow tarballs share the upstream limitation - their
checkin uuids are derivable from the per-checkin pin URLs; recorded in
the comment as the not-yet-wired follow-up.

Publication side-effects handled ahead of the punkbin push (b5c258f
there - first family -r1 artifacts + metadata + defaults flip to
tclsh9.0.5-punk-r1.exe):
- remote-only rows skip support files (the six metadata tomls now ride
in the server's sha1sums beside the runtimes; same extension set as
the local candidate filter).
- the '(= server default)' active marker also matches via the active's
beside-toml artifact identity: the default names an immutable -r<N>
artifact while the active is typically its materialized WORKING name,
so exact-name matching alone would never fire post-family.
Live-verified against the pushed server: no-name fetch resolves

Final acceptance item closed by the punk9_beta/punk9bi_beta kit-wrap

punkcheck no-change), and probes UNDER each kit verified 9.0.5,

punk9bi_beta's Tk necessarily from the runtime's attached image
(punk9win_for_tkruntime.vfs carries none). Every acceptance clause is
now met; evidence recorded in the detail file.

User policy 2026-07-22: doc examples for the polyglot bin utilities show
the .cmd extension (bin/punk-runtime.cmd ...) - extensionless windows
invocation resolves the .ps1 twin, which is ExecutionPolicy-gated and
runs under the invoking powershell edition, while .cmd always executes
via the wrap-pinned tested path. The same .cmd file runs on unix shells
unmodified, so one form serves all platforms with path-separator style
as the only remaining per-platform difference. Sweep confirmed no
existing user-facing guidance contradicts (none exists yet).
Assisted-by: harness=claude; primary-model=claude-fable-5; api-location=anthropic.com
The user-observed ordering discrepancy decomposed into two edition
divergences, both now handled:
- launch paths run DIFFERENT powershells: the .ps1 twin executes under
the invoking shell (pwsh 7) while the .cmd routes via the wrap-pinned
'cmd.exe /c powershell' (Windows PowerShell 5);
- between those editions BOTH Hashtable key enumeration order AND
culture-sensitive Sort-Object collation differ (NLS vs ICU treat
hyphens differently). Fix: ordinal comparison for every name ordering
(candidates, platforms dirs, list -remote local+remote-only rows) in
ps1, LC_ALL=C glob/ls/sort in bash - verified byte-identical
list -remote output across cmd->powershell5, pwsh7-on-twin, and bash.
bin/AGENTS.md .ps1-twin paragraph corrected (was stale): the twin is
SELF-MATERIALIZED by the polyglot's batch layer - created when missing,
fc-compared and re-copied when content differs - so it self-heals after
a re-wrap on the next .cmd launch; no manual copy step (verified:
deleted twin regenerated byte-identical). Documented caveats: a
direct-.ps1-only user can ride a stale twin until a .cmd launch heals
it, and payload code must avoid edition-specific behaviour. Rewrapped;
roundtrip pin PASS; layout copy refreshed (twin deliberately NOT
hand-copied - the mechanism owns it now). Project 0.18.7.

Both payloads in parity (rewrapped; roundtrip pin PASS; twins + layout
copy refreshed): the remote comparison now answers "is my active runtime
the recommended one?" at a glance - summary lines show the platform's
server default (defaults.txt, best-effort fetch with cache; absent
server = markers gracefully omitted) and the locally active runtime
(annotated '(= server default)' on match); rows gain the local listing's
'*' active marker and a '(server default)' annotation on the default's
row, whether it is locally present or remote-only.
Also fixes the latent bash bug the verification exposed: CRLF server
sha1sums made locally-present runtimes ALSO appear as remote-only rows
(bash read keeps the \r that msys grep strips, so the \r-suffixed name
failed the local-existence test) - the remote-only loop now strips \r,
and punkbin's build_sha1sums.tcl writes LF sha1sums going forward
(punkbin 4b403a3). Project 0.18.6.

The per-platform default fetch runtime is a punkbin RELEASE DECISION, so
it now lives as server data (punkbin defaults.txt, c4d948f there) rather
than values baked into the payloads: updating the recommendation is a
one-line punkbin edit in the same change-set that publishes the artifact
it points at - immediate effect for every deployed punk-runtime, no
punkshell release, validated by punkbin's maintenance script, and
mirror-curatable. No pre-convention fallback per user direction (no
mirrors exist yet) - a server without the file gets an actionable
name-it-explicitly message, as does a platform without a recorded line.
Both payloads in parity (rewrapped; roundtrip pin PASS; twins + layout
copy refreshed): baked rt_default/runtime_available prong values removed
(the linux-arm one had already drifted from the server's actual artifact
name - the config-in-code failure mode this removes); default lookup
keys on the RESOLVED platform, so no-name 'fetch -platform <p>' now
works for foreign staging too (supersedes the foreign-name-required
rule); cached-copy fallback on network failure. ps1 fix: $arch? in
usage strings parsed as a variable NAMED 'arch?' - brace-delimited.
Verified: file:// happy path (local + foreign default), no-entry
platform, missing-manifest, and the LIVE server's 404 path (graceful
until punkbin c4d948f is pushed). Project 0.18.5.

User direction: 32-bit windows joins the canon marked for what it is -
status supported with runtime+lib tiers (hosting for available
third-party runtimes/libs), buildsuite CANDIDATE (zig can target it;
whether we add a buildsuite is undetermined) - the hosting-vs-building
axis expressing exactly that split. Name win32-ix86 = platform::generic's
own 32-bit x86 token (no normalization needed); normalize additionally

windows hosts (PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE x86 without ARCHITEW6432 - a
32-bit shell on a 64-bit OS keeps the x86_64 default: the runtime

Raw-file artifact servers have no directory listing, so served-platform
discovery rides a root-level platforms.txt manifest, now part of the
punkbin layout contract (generated by punkbin's src/build_sha1sums.tcl;
committed in punkbin locally - 7b8a244 - push remains the maintainer's
call; third-party mirrors using the layout carry the same file).
Both payloads in parity (rewrapped; roundtrip pin PASS; layout copy +
.ps1 twin refreshed): 'platforms' lists local bin/runtime/* folders with
the local platform marked; 'platforms -remote' fetches the manifest
(cached-copy fallback), marks local platform / local-dir presence /
local-only dirs, and points at 'list -remote -platform <name>' for
per-platform runtimes. Servers without the manifest get an actionable
message naming the -platform escape hatch and the canon reference
('help platforms'). Verified end-to-end through the wrapped cmd against

User-approved draft from the binary-policy framing discussion: per-.vfs
toml declarations materialize payload from suite build products, punkbin
artifact classes (consent-gated) and vendor trees, making kit payloads
buildable on a clean binary-free tree (G-004) - while the folder remains
the operative assembly area: declarations optional, undeclared drop-ins
preserved (permissive derived projects and gitignored test .vfs keep
drop-in simplicity). Context records the precedents (vendorlib_vfs.toml,

Non-contract Context/Notes updates from the user's long-term framing:
- G-004: the two further motivations (third-party distribution platforms
that disallow binaries; the consent promise as an auditable product
commitment); binaries must still OPERATE in the tree post-achievement
(local uncommitted experimentation + permissive derived projects - scan
polices the committed tree only, ignore rules double as drop-in
enablement); exit-path assessment for the src/vfs interim exception
(prefer suite batteries + per-package punkbin library artifacts; whole
.vfs zip archives recorded as an open third-class option).
- G-006: the consent gate recorded as a product commitment, not just
anti-surprise hygiene.
- G-067: buildsuites as a producing source - per-platform library .tm
artifacts as punkbin's second artifact class (platform canon + G-103
metadata pattern); retrieval-target/G-004 ignore interplay.
- G-114: provenance boundary - binary .tm arrive via G-067/local drops,
never checked into punkshell; drop-in acceptance ties to G-004's
operate-in-tree requirement.
Goal/Acceptance contract lines untouched throughout.

src/vendormodules_tcl8 is a tm root - a pkgIndex-style directory there is

leftover; added in an early bulk commit). Its designed home is the
platform vendor-library tree: pkgIndex-based, win-x64 dll, Tcl 8 ->
src/vendorlib_tcl8/win32-x86_64/ (reachable via make.tcl's bootstrap
lib paths and the libs build; kit inclusion stays declarative via
src/runtime/vendorlib_vfs.toml - no kit content change from this move).

(supported|planned|candidate|none): whether OUR zig buildsuites produce
runtimes for a platform. Deliberately a separate axis from tiers -
punkbin-structured repos (or third-party equivalents) can host runtimes
built by any mechanism, so runtime-tier hosting coexists with
buildsuite=none (netbsd/dragonflybsd-class examples, per user review).
openbsd/netbsd/dragonflybsd records now carry the runtime tier.

- G-109 notes record the binary-.tm platform reality the user's fat-tm
experience established (retracting this survey's earlier
'tm-are-cross-platform' shorthand): multi-platform fat .tm are the
wrong shape (oversized downloads; same-version shadowing leaves no
drop-in path), platform segregation must ride tcl:™️:path via
per-platform TM ROOTS selected by boot - and platform dirs cannot nest
inside an existing tm root (subdirs are namespace components), so those
roots must be sibling trees. Candidate manifest field: declared target

Survey outcome (punkbin vs punkshell platform folders): five naming sites
had drifted - punkbin folders, bin/runtime, vendorlib_tclX dirs, the
punkboot platform_generic snips (an old platform::generic copy), and the
Tcl platform package itself whose outputs vary by version (1.1.x renamed
modern macOS to 'macos', aarch64/amd64 pass through unmapped).
Canon: <os>-<cpu> punkshell platform-dir names, cpu normalized
amd64->x86_64 and aarch64->arm64 (arm = 32-bit; on macosx arm folds to
arm64 - Apple silicon is 64-bit only), os macos->macosx. The universal
'macosx' name is the runtime-tier convention (punkbin + bin/runtime keep
one macOS folder, per make.tcl's existing collapse); per-arch
macosx-x86_64/macosx-arm64 serve the lib tier.

contract with the module) in punk_main.tcl/project_main.tcl/make.tcl;
all platform-dir call sites switched to it. make.tcl exercised live;
main.tcl copies brace-verified.
- vendorlib_tcl8/9 synchronized to canon: freebsd-amd64 -> freebsd-x86_64
(READMEs updated), freebsd-arm64/linux-arm64/macosx-arm64 added, tcl8's
untracked-empty linux-arm now tracked + tcl9 gains linux-arm, stray
untracked macosx-arm empties removed, msys-x86_64 marked dormant
pending a utility decision, top-level READMEs state the canon contract.
- punk-runtime bash prongs emit canonical names: aarch64 -> linux-arm64
(no fetch default until punkbin carries that folder), arch-aware
freebsd/openbsd/netbsd/dragonflybsd via normalized cpu tokens.
Rewrapped; roundtrip pin PASS; layout copy + .ps1 twin refreshed.
Flagged for user decisions (recorded in G-105 Notes): punkbin linux-arm
holds an arm64-named kit (recommend linux-arm64 folder at next arm
publish; artifacts immutable), msys-x86_64 disposition, optional
platform-1.1.x re-vendor, src/vfs stays mapvfs-categorized (recommend a
mapvfs platform column when cross-wraps land, not a .vfs tree
restructure). Project 0.18.0.

Cross-build staging surface (both payloads in parity, rewrapped polyglot,
layout copy + .ps1 twin refreshed, roundtrip pin PASS):
- fetch/list/use accept -platform <p> (punkbin platform-DIR names, never
zig triples); resolution: -platform arg > PUNK_RUNTIME_PLATFORM env >
detected local platform; shape-only lowercase validation (server URL
paths are case-sensitive - ps1 uses -cnotmatch; default -notmatch is
case-insensitive and passed Win32-X86_64-class typos in testing).
- foreign fetch requires an explicit runtime name (fetch defaults only
make sense for the platform you stand on).
- use -platform manages that folder's active.toml/materialization - the
marker travels with the folder when deployed (provisioning story; unix
exec bits restored at deploy time).
- list flags !TARGET-MISMATCH when a runtime's metadata target disagrees
with the folder it sits in (cross-fetch misfiling guard).
- run stays LOCAL ONLY: rejects a leading -platform, ignores the env
override, later args pass through to the runtime untouched.
- new 'help' action (actions, options, env vars, examples) and a real
usage block on no-args invocation (was a bare action list).
- bash FreeBSD platform dir aligned to punkbin's actual freebsd-x86_64
(was freebsd-amd64; the G-105 platform-dir naming-alignment item).
Verified on both payloads directly and through the wrapped cmd: noargs,
help, local list unchanged, foreign use-materialization + mismatch flags,
foreign-fetch refusal, run guard, env override (and run's immunity to
it), bad-name validation. Project 0.17.9.

Raw mode on twapi-less windows runtimes made dependable and quiet: lazy
singleton server (tsv-shared per process, spawn no longer at module
load), parent-pid self-reaping (no orphan pwsh), the 20s
keepalive-without-pinger and the first-message listener kill (reader
Close disposing the pipe stream) both fixed, disableraw served on
no-inputmode runtimes (8.6 path), enable confirmed via live tcl9
-inputmode before return, script resolution env -> argv0 -> module-dir
-> embedded copy (pwd fallback gone; kits need no scriptlib on disk).
PUNK_PS_CONSOLEMODE_DEBUG=1 for diagnostics both sides.
scriptlib/utils/pwsh reconciled: canonical consolemode_server_async.ps1
rewritten (protocol enableraw|disableraw|ping|exit, parent-pid watch,
posh-git MIT attribution for the C# snippet), five experiment variants
retired (consolemode_server.ps1, *_async1.ps1, *_async.2ps1,
consolemode.ps1, consolemode_enableraw.ps1), README labels the folder.
New console suite psfallback.test pins the embedded-copy/file sync and
the resolution chain. punk::repl stale comment fix (no behaviour
change). Verified per the recipe recorded in the goal detail file:
hidden-console selftests on suite tclsh90spr + zipfs kit tclsh90sprzip
(25s-idle survival, stop/respawn, zero orphans), live make.tcl-shell and
bare-repl sessions driven by injected keystrokes (console mode
0x1E7<->0x1E1 read externally), embedded-resolution forced run, console
testsuite 76/76. G-106 acceptance met - achieved flip recorded in the
detail file; archive move follows in the next commit.

Scriptset extension (ps1 + bash payloads in parity, rewrapped polyglot,
layout-shipped copy + untracked .ps1 twin refreshed, roundtrip pin PASS):
- list: per-runtime summary parsed from the <rootname>.toml metadata record
beside each runtime (variant, tcl patchlevel, revision, piperepl on/off,
from=<artifact> on materialized working copies).
- use <artifact-r<N>-name>: materializes the immutable artifact into its
WORKING name (minus -r<N>) with the metadata toml copied alongside, then
selects it - the G-103 naming decision's artifact->working mapping, so
republishing never churns consumers. use <workingname> unchanged.
- fetch of -r<N> artifacts also retrieves the metadata toml from punkbin
(absence tolerated for pre-family runtimes).
- rootname handling strips only .exe (dotted patchlevels break last-dot
stripping for extensionless unix names); same exe_split fix applied to
family_artifacts.tcl artifact/toml naming for the G-105 cross-target
future. Candidate listing excludes directories and .log files (parity
cleanup; bash side previously listed directories).
Verified on the wrapped bin/punk-runtime.cmd (powershell 5 branch) and the
bash payload under git-bash: all three family members materialized from
their -r1 artifacts with metadata shown in list, and 'punk-runtime run'
launched the active punk family runtime (9.0.5, piperepl machinery,
//zipfs:/app/tcl_library). Project 0.17.7.

suite_tcl90 now assembles and verifies the G-103 family as part of the
default pipeline:
- kit-family: two staging trees (core, bi) wrap into working-name products
tclsh9.0.5.exe / tclsh9.0.5-punk.exe / tclsh9.0.5-punk-bi.exe under
out/family. Attached image mirrors the installed prefix - tcl_library/ at
the app root (stock C-boot position, no main.tcl - falls through to the
interactive shell), tm tree at tcl9/<ver>, batteries under lib/ with their
installed-shape pkgIndexes (../../bin -> /app/bin), dlls under bin/, plus a
one-line stock pkgIndex hook at lib/pkgIndex.tcl extending auto_path (the
tclPkgUnknown mid-scan growth mechanism tcllib's own index uses).
- tools/family_check.tcl: per-member self-containment verification from a
scratch dir with scrubbed env - patchlevel, zipfs tcl_library, tzdata/
encodings, attached tm modules, functional Thread (cross-thread eval), vfs
zip-mount round-trip, tcllib md5 + tcllibc accel engaged, piperepl
default-ON/opt-out per variant (::tclsh(istty) discriminator), Tk
create/destroy + tklib for bi. All three members PASS.
- kit-family-artifacts + tools/family_artifacts.tcl: punkbin-layout emission
(immutable -r<N> names via -Dfamilyrev, per-artifact toml metadata with
variant/sha1/versions/provenance/G-107 evidence, sha1sums.txt), run UNDER
the plain family kit itself. punkbin publication stays a user step.
- build_tclthread/build_tk return pkgidx+version facts; tclvfs configured
package generation shared between prefix install and family staging;
tm-module install list single-sourced; manifestUuid helper tolerates
repos without the fossil manifest setting.
- consumers: mapvfs.config entries punk9_beta (punk + punk9wintk905.vfs) and
punk9bi_beta (punk-bi + punk9win_for_tkruntime.vfs); working names copied
to bin/runtime/win32-x86_64 (untracked). src/runtime/AGENTS.md stale
runtime.cmd references updated to punk-runtime (G-097).
Full pipeline suite.tcl build PASS end-to-end; verification evidence
recorded in the goal Progress section. Remaining: punk-runtime list/use
metadata surfacing, kit-wrap trial of the new mapvfs entries.

- G-112/G-104: mutual ordering notes - one make.tcl-surface window, G-112
first or together, so the buildsuite group and workflow help text are
written once in the stage-true vocabulary.
- G-023: Goal/Acceptance flipped from the hyphenated
punk9-<major>-<minor>-<patch>.exe draft to the decided dotted
punk<major>-<punkshellversion>.exe kit-artifact form; reframed as the
make.tcl/bin-side adoption of the G-103 naming decision plus the -dev /
release-gated-plain-name policy layer; tier-mapping paragraph + dated
reconciliation note added.
- G-103: pointer note that G-023 adopts the kit-artifact tier.

Completes the user's conversion of punk::mix::base from manual
versioning to the magic-version mechanism: header Meta block + magic
provide block in base-999999.0a1.0.tm, version history relocated to the
new base-buildversion.txt (0.1.2 - same version, mechanism-only
change). The file RENAME itself landed one commit early (ab3e1a45)
via the staged index riding an unrelated commit - net effect is the
repo's preferred move-then-edit sequence, recorded here for clarity.
src/modules/AGENTS.md: punk::libunknown is now the only manually
versioned module; base noted as converted 2026-07-21.
Bootsupport syncs from the rebuild ride along: base-0.1.2.tm restamped
from the converted source; libunknown comment catch-up
(runtime.cmd -> punk-runtime.cmd reference).
Conversion verified: make.tcl modules builds base-0.1.2.tm from the
magic-versioned source under Tcl 9.0.3 and 8.7a6 (the original build
failure was the unrelated pre-c971e6c7c4 zipfs mkzip dotfile defect,
fixed by cli 0.5.2's fallback in ab3e1a45).

Tcl 8.7 builds predating core fix c971e6c7c4 (tkt 7d5f1c13089d463e7796
'zipfs mkzip broken on Windows dotfiles') die with 'non-unique path
name' on dot-prefixed entries - hit by the templates modpod's layout
.fossil-custom payloads (in the modpod source since G-087 stage 3)
whenever a modpod rebuild triggers under such an interp (c:/tcl87 =
8.7a6 is the PATH-default tclsh here). Diagnosed from the eager
punkcheck INPROGRESS remnants (two died-mid-transfer attempts) plus a
3-file minimal repro; the suspected punk::mix::base version-scheme
conversion was coincidental and is innocent.
The fallback reuses the invocation already established for zipfs-less
interpreters (punk::zip::mkzip -base ...), deletes the partial zip a
failed mkzip leaves behind (punk::zip::mkzip refuses to overwrite),
and notes the interpreter + upstream ticket on stderr. Healthy
interpreters keep the zipfs path.
Verified: re-triggered templates-modpod rebuild under 8.7a6 completes
exit 0 via the fallback; the built modpod mounts with identical entry
sets under 9.0.3 and 8.7a6 (incl the .fossil-custom/mainmenu payload
that broke mkzip); punkcheck/mix/lib suites 193 pass under 9.0.3.

ahead of the 8.6 arc (G-099/G-100/G-101). Contract untouched - the
