Defect: the G-113 ansistrip transform was pushed onto Tcl 8.6 windows CONSOLE
channels, which encode utf-16 ('unicode') - at byte level ESC arrives as 1B 00
so sequences passed through unstripped and the hold-back carry deferred/
dropped real content, seriously mangling interactive punk86/punksys
'src/make.tcl help' layout (user-reported). Chunk-boundary handling itself is
sound: a rig proved strip output invariant across chunk sizes 1..4096 over
byte-transparent encodings; the failing dimension was encoding, not cutting.
(Comparison recorded: shellfilter::chan::ansistrip is the complement - it
decodes per the channel encoding and buffers undecodable tails, but assumes
line-buffering for sequence splits.)
Fix is detection, not utf-16 stripping: only 8.6 windows console channels
report -encoding unicode (pipes/files get the system encoding; hidden-console
probes confirmed across bawt tclsh86 8.6.13, punk86 8.6.17, punksys 8.6.13;
tcl9 consoles report utf-16 but are caught by -winsize first). The policy now
treats that signature as tty: mode=tty, colour ON, no transform - interactive
8.6 windows colour with no env var and no twapi. The transform push is now
PER CHANNEL and skips utf-16-class channels ('> file' from an 8.6 console
wraps stdout only - stderr console keeps its ANSI); ansistrip_pushed is the
wrapped-channel list, shell pops exactly those, policy/check lines print
ansistrip=stdout+stderr|stdout|0.
Verified: hidden-console 8.6 x3 mode=tty ansistrip=0; half-redirected punk86
console run ansistrip=stdout; piped 8.6/9 batteries unchanged (zero ESC,
force re-colours); punkexe suites 54/0 (maketclcolour pins updated to the
channel-list format). punkshell 0.23.2 + CHANGELOG; src/AGENTS bullet updated.
8.6 unix/WSL stays plain-by-default pending the probe-ladder goal.

use wart fixed (both payloads + rewrapped bin/punk-runtime.cmd, checkfile
ERROR-free, scriptwrap roundtrip + binscripts freshness suites green 35/0):
candidate lookup falls back to <name>.exe when the exact name is absent -
exact names (incl. extensionless unix artifacts in foreign -platform staging
folders) still match first. Verified live in a throwaway platform folder via
the .cmd (ps1 payload) and the bash payload driven directly (msys exe-magic
already masked the wart under msys bash; the fallback serves real unix shells).
make.tcl: new ::punkboot::runtime_materialization_warning (warn-only, local,
no network) - the kit loop compares each wrapped working runtime's beside-toml
revision against the highest -r<N> artifact revision in the same folder and
emits a recapped BUILD-WARNING naming the repair command. Verified live: toml
demoted to revision=1 fires the warning once + recap (and would have caught
today's stale-r1 punk9_beta incident at the first bake); current state silent;
no spurious rewraps. Pre-family runtimes (no toml) and direct -r<N> references
stay silent.

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.
- new module punk::platform 0.1.0: platforms (canonical records with
status supported/dormant/recognized + tiers), normalize, local
?-tier lib|runtime? - full PUNKARGS argdocs. Tcl's platform package
stays the raw identifier underneath.
- punk 0.2.7: 'help platforms' topic (alias 'platform'; all prefixes
mutually ambiguous so they fall through to command lookup, per the
env/environment precedent) - canon table with the local interpreter
marked and raw platform-package identifiers for comparison.
- boot: punkboot platform_punk (inline normalization copy, sync-comment
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.

Stage 4 - documented overlay semantics implemented (commandset::layout 0.2.0):
layout_materialize resolves a layout to its overlay chain (vendor tier then
custom tier per store+vendor, <name>@<base> derived-layout folders expanding
their base chain first, cycle-guarded) and composes multi-folder chains into a
disposable staging dir applying <item>.anti deletion markers (zero-byte marker
files recommended - committable, unlike the originally documented empty marker
folders, which are also accepted). Single-folder chains with no markers are
used in place, so punk.project (store and zipfs modpod) behaviour is unchanged.
project.new (commandset::project 0.4.0) copies from the materialized path and
the layout listing/scanning commands show the effective merged view.
Fixtures: punk.othersample is now a live derived layout (new custom-deck
fauxlink ref + .gitignore.anti demo marker); extra.txt/store README rewritten
to the implemented semantics. New tcltest suite
src/tests/modules/punk/mix/testsuites/layout/materialize.test (20 tests).
Anti markers deliberately stay a plain filename convention rather than
tag-bearing fauxlinks: a fauxlink is a reference tooling may follow (fcat
auto-follows), a marker is a tombstone with no target.
Stage 5 - retirements and generated-project version seeding:
- The empty unimplemented child-side src/PROJECT_LAYOUTS_CREATE_FROM_... marker
folder is deleted along with its project.new and make.tcl sync exclusions.
- The vendor/custom x _project matrix collapses for layouts: custom/<vendor> is
the one override level; _project folders join no overlay chain (the
pseudo-vendor remains for decktemplates module/utility templates only).
- project.new seeds generated projects post-materialization (only-if-missing,
never from payload): punkproject.toml ([project] name + 0.1.0), a matching
CHANGELOG.md ## [0.1.0] header, and punkorigin.toml - an interim generation
provenance baseline (utc, layout name + resolved store target,
punk::mix::templates version, punkshell version when derivable, origin path)
for the G-027 pull design to adopt (noted in G-027).
Also: script-mode/programmatic project.new robustness (explicit shellrun
require; punk::mix::util askuser/do_in_path/foreach-file fully qualified -
the util:: shorthand exists only after cli commandset import). Includes the
concurrently-landed (other session, previously uncommitted) 0.3.1 early
module-name validation fix in project.new, shipped within the 0.4.0 bump.
G-087 flipped achieved 2026-07-19 (verification in the detail file; archive
move follows in the next commit). punkshell 0.16.0 -> 0.17.0.

punk::cap::handlers::templates 0.3.0: module-pathtype layout refs resolve
against the providing module's own templates/project_layouts store (sibling of
its layout_refs folder) instead of the never-existing <modulebase>/src tree -
module-carried thin layouts become usable.
punk::mix::templates 0.2.0: ships the thin punk.project layout payload inside
the modpod (payload synced from src/project_layouts by make.tcl - see below);
shellproject_multivendor declaration fixed decktemplates -> src/decktemplates
(shell-project layouts/templates were invisible when cwd was outside any
project).
punk::mix::commandset::project 0.3.0: project.new injects bootsupport into the
generated project at generation time via new lib::bootsupport_inject - manifest
(include_modules.config) driven module resolution from the generating shell's
project bootsupport tree, or a standalone kit's tcl:™️:list paths (999999.*
dev versions never injected; latest-version non-glob semantics matching
make.tcl bootsupport; adjacent non-.tm support files such as struct sets_*.tcl
and textutil .tex data carried along; bootsupport lib* trees copied from a
shell project, notice emitted for manifest-less standalone kits); punkcheck-
recorded with plain-copy degradation. -layout now prefix-matches the live
layout set instead of the package-load-time snapshot.
punkcheck 0.4.0: start_installer_event no longer writes literal '$eventid'/
'$rel_source'/'$rel_target'/'$config' into event headers (braced-literal
expansion bug, latent since inception - collided as duplicate ids when install
and installtrack writers shared one db); sources with no common root vs the
punkcheck folder (e.g //zipfs:/ module-mounted layouts) are recorded as
independent absolute paths instead of erroring.
punk::mix::base 0.1.1 -> 0.1.2 (manually versioned rename): cksum_path no
longer hangs forever on vfs-mounted files - tcllib -file digest modes read via
fileevent+vwait and zipfs channels never deliver fileevents (empty
ZipChannelWatchChannel in core); non-native files are slurped and digested in
data mode (new cksum_data_command per algorithm + cksum_crc_data/
cksum_adler32_data helpers; exec-based sha3 errors cleanly for vfs paths).
make.tcl: custom/_project layout bootsupport-sync retired (project layouts
store no snapshots); sync_layouts retargeted to thin vendor layouts (make.tcl,
build.tcl + bootsupport manifest copies; punkcheck db at
src/project_layouts/.punkcheck) plus store->modpod punk.project payload sync
(excludes bin/sdx.kit and src/PROJECT_LAYOUTS_* marker; fossil settings kept
via core-exclude override); bootsupport copy onto a modpod the running
make.tcl has mounted records OK when target content is already identical
(FAILED-record churn fix); workflow text updated (DIAGRAM 1b) and help/argdoc
texts adjusted.
bootsupport include_modules.config: added previously-recordless-but-required
entries cmdline (fileutil dep), struct::set (make.tcl accelerators), textutil,
textutil::expander, textutil::patch - generated projects' make.tcl now boots
under a plain tclsh.
Docs: root/src/bootsupport/punk AGENTS.md updated for the retired sync and
build-managed modpod payload; goal detail G-087 stage-3 progress record;

Prints the release-ready command sequence, source -> built-packages ->
bootsupport / kit-vfs / kit-executable folder-flow diagrams, and keyed notes
(magic-version stamping, punkcheck provenance, staleness gate, -confirm
policy, locked-exe deploys, VCS-tracked output targets). The text is embedded
in make.tcl (::punkboot::workflow_text) rather than a data file so it travels
with the make.tcl copies seeded into generated-project layouts; content is
project-generic accordingly. A MAINTENANCE key in the output states the
update contract.
punk::args-documented via the existing constructed-definition machinery
(SUMMARIES/HELPTEXTS/SUBOPTS + informational SUBGROUPS entry) so tabled help,
'help workflow' and the top-level subcommand table all cover it; also
registered in known_commands and the plain punkboot_gethelp fallback, and
exempted from the bootsupport staleness gate alongside check/projectversion.

workflow text in the same change-set as any build data-flow change, keep the
ASCII/width/structure rules, verify with 'make.tcl workflow' (+ one

New vfs_startup_script_warning check runs for each .vfs folder about to
be built against a runtime: it passes if the folder has a root main.tcl
or a root fauxlink resolving to the name main.tcl whose target exists
and is a .tcl file. Otherwise a noticeable warning is emitted and the
build proceeds (a kit with no startup script is legal).
Warnings use a new general-purpose ::punkboot::print_build_warnings
channel: column-0 BUILD-WARNING: token for greppability, ANSI highlight
for humans, and recap at end of run via the wrapped ::exit (same
treatment as PROVENANCE-WARNING). Overlay-only folders with no runtime
mapping (e.g _vfscommon.vfs) are not checked. Contract documented in
src/vfs/AGENTS.md.

Fixes the two user-reported symptoms of '<punkexe> src/make.tcl shell':
Missing prompts: app-punkscript correctly forces ::tcl_interactive 0 for
script execution, and punk::repl is already loaded at kit boot - so the shell
branch's 'package require punk::repl' re-loads nothing and the repl's
load-time interactivity probe (repl line ~44) never re-runs, leaving prompts
suppressed on a real console. The shell branch now recomputes
::tcl_interactive via punk::repl::is_interactive against the actual input
channel before repl::init/start. Piped behaviour unchanged (probe still
reports non-interactive).
Raw-mode 'invalid command name struct::set': the accelerator-reload block
(package forget + rename of sha1/md5/struct::* so reloads can pick up
accelerators from the restored full paths) relied on later package-require
chains to restore the forgotten packages. Under a kit, the consumers
(punk::lib, punk::du, punk::nav::fs, flagfilter) were pre-loaded at kit boot,
their requires never re-fire, and the first repl-thread-side call of a
struct::set-backed punk::lib proc (lunique_unordered's self-redefining first
invocation, reached via flagfilter/nav::fs in interactive/raw paths) hit the
destroyed command. The block now records which of the forgotten packages were
actually loaded and re-requires them immediately. Verified by thread-probe:
the repl-thread interp now shows struct::set 2.2.5 + sha1 2.0.5 restored
identically under tclsh90 and punk91 (previously absent under punk91); the
codethread was always unaffected (it re-requires its own package list).
src/AGENTS.md: new note - punk-exe-hosted make.tcl runs in a pre-loaded
interp, not a virgin one (no-op requires, load-time state like the
tcl_interactive probe, kit-vs-bootsupport module provenance mixing); interp
surgery in make.tcl must restore deliberately and be tested under both tclsh
and a punk exe. Layout make.tcl copies re-synced via the punkcheck channel.

Self-build guard (user-identified gap): when make.tcl is driven by a built punk
executable, the kit whose deployed executable is the running interpreter is now
skipped before any build work, with guidance to rerun under tclsh or a
different kit. Previously the pre-deploy process sweep matched processes by
executable name only and would taskkill the build's own process mid-run with
-k (suicide: remaining kits unbuilt, no recap, dangling punkcheck event);
without -k only the polite kill's refusal on console processes saved the run,
and the deploy delete of the running image would fail with a cryptic message.
The sweep additionally excludes the build's own pid unconditionally, covering
a same-named copy driving the build from a non-deploy path. Informational and
update subcommands were already safe (they exit before the kit machinery);
building other kits from a punk exe remains supported. Verified live:
'punk91 src/make.tcl vfs -confirm 0' skips punk91.exe with the warning and
processes the other kits normally; plain tclsh runs unaffected.
libunknown quietening: 'punkexe src/make.tcl <cmd>' emitted
"punk::libunknown::init already done - unnecessary call? info frame -1: ..."
because punk_main.tcl had already initialised libunknown (renaming ::package)
and make.tcl unconditionally re-sourced the bootsupport copy and called init
again, tripping init's load-bearing rename guard. make.tcl now leaves an
already-active libunknown in place (no re-source - also avoids silently
swapping the running copy for the bootsupport copy when versions diverge);
plain tclsh runs source+init exactly as before. Verified: no diagnostic from
'punk91 src/make.tcl projectversion'.
src/AGENTS.md build guidance updated (punk-exe-driven builds and the self-kit
skip); layout make.tcl copies re-synced via the punkcheck channel.

Fixes the constructed-definition indent leak user review spotted in
'make.tcl help' output (@cmd -help Description first line rendered less
indented than continuations): HELPTEXTS and the inline shell/help/toplevel
help values are now block-form (first value line whitespace-only) with a bare
@normalize in every constructed definition, per G-045's preferred style. The
braced option fragments never leaked (literal block-shaped parts get
file-style normalization) and head-form values are contractually untouched by
@normalize. Also adds a define-time capability probe (punk::args::get_spec on
representative ids inside the guarded block) so a stale punk::args that
accepts the raw text but cannot resolve a mechanism (e.g pre-@normalize
snapshots) degrades to the plain fallback immediately instead of erroring at
first parse.
AGENTS infrastructure for future documentation work: src/modules/AGENTS.md
"Documentation And Comments" gains a "punk::args definition authoring
ergonomics" subsection (G-045 mechanisms: @normalize + block form for
constructed defs, -unindentedfields, -& record continuation, container
quoting rules; plus the G-030 lessons: explicit @form -synopsis for
script-level ids, -optional 0 for pointed choiceviolation errors);
src/AGENTS.md cross-references it and names ::punkboot::argdoc as the
in-tree constructed-def exemplar. Follow-up recorded in the G-030 archive.

All 15 make.tcl subcommands are punk::args-declared ((script)::punkboot +
(script)::punkboot::<sub>, built from single-source summary/help/opt dicts with
shared option fragments and explicit @form -synopsis). Bare make.tcl / -help,
'help ?subcommand?' and '<subcommand> -help' render tabled usage; invalid
flags/subcommands raise punk::args usage errors (exit 1) with unambiguous
prefix resolution; 'shell' is a declared passthrough.
Prompt policy: new -confirm 0|1 (default 1) on every confirmation point
(bootsupport minor-staleness gate, vfscommonupdate REPLACE, kit-type mismatch).
Default prompts only on an interactive terminal and aborts fast with guidance
on non-interactive stdin (::punkboot::lib::stdin_is_interactive; Tcl 8.6 lacks
the -inputmode probe and is assumed interactive). -confirm 0 proceeds
(staleness, REPLACE) or skips the mismatched kit. The piped-y agent workflow is
retired; the old vfscommonupdate decline half-abort (printed done, exit 0) now
exits 1.
Degrade rule: punk::args/punk::ansi/textblock boot requires guarded; definition
load caught with fallback to a self-contained scan (-k/-dirty-abort/-confirm
supported) + plain punkboot_gethelp (availability NOTE factored into
punkboot_availability_note, shared by both paths); rendering degrades
independently of parsing (errorstyle minimal / plain help when the ANSI stack
is unhealthy); PUNKBOOT_PLAIN=1 forces degraded mode. punk::args joins the
bootstrap-tracked _runtime_deps staleness set (parsing contract only - the
rendering stack degrades instead; contract docs updated in
src/bootsupport/AGENTS.md + src/modules/AGENTS.md, workflow docs in
src/AGENTS.md + src/tests/shell/AGENTS.md).
Verified: usage/help/error paths, vfscommonupdate fail-fast and -confirm 0 runs
with closed stdin, staleness flag route live (args 0.5.0->0.12.0 tripped the
gate), degraded-mode help/check/info, full 'project -k -confirm 0' kit build.
Dogfooding finding recorded in the goal file: punk::args 0.12.0 reports generic
overflow where 0.5.0 reported choiceviolation for optional-choice mismatches
(worked around with required leaders; candidate error-selection improvement).

Build/promotion commands (project packages modules libs vfs vfslibs bin
bootsupport vfscommonupdate) now warn when src/ has uncommitted fossil/git
changes - artifacts built from dirty src have no committed provenance.
Warn-only by default; new -dirty-abort flag makes the check aborting.
With '<builtexe> src' available for evaluating uncommitted source directly,
building is the promotion step this treats it as.
- punkboot::utils 0.2.0: vcs_dirty_warnings gains optional scope arg so only
changes under a subpath (src) count; unscoped vendorupdate call unchanged.
- Warnings print with a plain column-0 PROVENANCE-WARNING: token (greppable
in redirected output) + ANSI colour, shared with vendorupdate's dirty
source-project check, and are recapped at end-of-run via a wrapped ::exit
so they survive scrolling chatty build output.
- Interactive terminal runs (stdin -inputmode probe, tcl 8.7+/9) get a 3s
ctrl-c grace countdown before a dirty build proceeds; piped/agent/CI runs
pay no delay.
- 'make.tcl check' reports src provenance status and what the build
commands would do.
- Guarded require: stale/missing punkboot::utils snapshot degrades the check
to a skip notice, but -dirty-abort then aborts rather than silently losing
the requested strictness.

New 'make.tcl vfslibs' step (also run inside 'make.tcl project' before kit vfs
assembly): propagates declared vendored platform-library packages into kit vfs
lib_tcl<N> trees, ending the hand-copying that let kits ship a known-buggy
tcludp through three make invocations (the G-036/G-037 motivating case).
- declaration: src/runtime/vendorlib_vfs.toml, parsed with bootsupport tomlish
(no ad-hoc parsing; G-024's mapvfs toml conversion NOT required first - this
file is recorded as a candidate for absorption into it). [install.<name>]
entries: source (relative to src/), targets (kit vfs lib folders relative to
src/vfs/), optional supersedes (folder names removed from each target before
install - explicit, no silent mixed-version provision per G-035 concerns).
- participation is per-package per-kit; authority is the declaration - nothing
syncs undeclared, so the known vendorlib/kit twapi drift is deliberately
untouched (resolves the direction/authority design question).
- punkcheck provenance at src/vfs/.punkcheck (gitignored, outside kit
payloads); skip-if-unchanged proven (rerun: 0 copied, 9 skipped per target);
malformed/unresolvable entries fail the build naming the entry (exit 3).
- 8.6 kits upgraded (the G-036 loose-end decision, recorded): tcludp 1.0.13 is
dual-generation (pkgIndex selects tcl9udp1013.dll on 9+, udp1013t.dll on
8.5+) so the single vendorlib_tcl9 source serves punk8win.vfs/lib_tcl8;
superseded udp1.0.12 removed.
- verified on rebuilt kits: punksys/punkbi (8.6.13) and punk902z (9.0.2) all
report package require udp == 1.0.13 loading the generation-appropriate dll
from their vfs; no udp1.0.12 remains under src/vfs; punksys piped-shell exit
smoke clean.
- G-037 flipped proposed -> achieved 2026-07-08 under user direction (no
intermediate active stop).
- includes project-build byproducts via established channels: bootsupport
snapshots refreshed to punk-0.2.1 / punk::lib-0.3.0 (from today's version
bumps) and make.tcl synced into layout copies.

The version-mismatch and missing-header warning branches interpolated the
literal [X.Y.Z] inside double-quoted puts strings, so Tcl attempted command
substitution and the check died with `invalid command name "X.Y.Z"` the
first time a warning branch actually fired (surfaced by a manual
projectversion check during the 0.4.2 bump, whose CHANGELOG entry was
missing at the time). Brackets now backslash-escaped. Layout copies of

Move vendor_source_dirty_warnings out of make.tcl into punkboot::utils as
vcs_dirty_warnings (PUNKARGS-documented, caller-label param so the
bootsupport update path can share it per G-026). make.tcl now uses a
guarded lazy require and degrades to skipped-with-warning if the
bootsupport snapshot lacks the proc - a stale/broken snapshot must never
brick the make.tcl commands used to repair it.
Chicken-and-egg-safe ordering used and now documented in
src/bootsupport/AGENTS.md ("Moving make.tcl functionality into
punkboot::utils"): edit src module + bump buildversion, make.tcl modules,
make.tcl bootsupport, only then repoint make.tcl call sites. Boot-phase
code (path setup, punkboot::lib prompts, package-availability checks)
stays self-contained in make.tcl.
Bootsupport snapshot refresh from the sanctioned pipeline: punkboot::utils
0.1.0->0.1.1, shellrun 0.1.2->0.1.4 (punk::args require fix catch-up),
punk::console 0.7.1 content catch-up; layout mirrors via the
punkcheck-tracked sync steps.
New tests: src/tests/modules/punkboot/utils/testsuites/utils/vcsdirty.test
(git fixture: dirty/clean/dedupe/label/unversioned/missing) - 25/25 across
punkboot suites; vendorupdate verified end-to-end through the module path.

make.tcl vendorupdate now walks up from each vendor source path to the
nearest fossil and/or git root and warns (non-fatal, once per VCS root)
when the checkout is dirty - vendored artifacts built from uncommitted
source have no committed provenance. Silent for unversioned or missing
locations; dual git+fossil roots report each VCS separately. First real
run flagged 8 dirty source projects (the tomlish 1.1.7/1.1.8 incident -
vendored content whose source history ended at 1.1.6 - motivated this,
remedied upstream by tomlish checkin 37b71e82).
Goal G-026 (proposed) carries the enforcement follow-on: abort with
explicit override, warn-only as configured mode, shared coverage of
bootsupport_localupdate, and a recorded decision on the residual
staleness gap. Abort-by-default now would block routine work given the
dirty-project count.
Project version 0.2.5; vendorupdate doc note in src/AGENTS.md.

Move project-version helper procs (parse_punkproject_version,
read_punkproject_version, read_changelog_latest_version) out of make.tcl
inline definitions into a loadable punkboot::utils module so the parsing
logic is unit-testable.
- src/modules/punkboot/utils-999999.0a1.0.tm: new module (0.1.0) with
the 3 procs in punkboot::utils namespace, PUNKARGS argdoc blocks.
- src/modules/punkboot/utils-buildversion.txt: initial 0.1.0.
- src/tests/modules/punkboot/utils/testsuites/utils/utils.test: 19 tests
covering section tracking, missing fields, wrong sections, whitespace,
quote styles, changelog header parsing, pre-release suffixes. All pass.
- src/make.tcl: inline procs removed; projectversion block now does
package require punkboot::utils and calls punkboot::utils:: procs.
- Layout make.tcl files (punk.shell-0.1, punk.project-0.1): same edit;
punk.basic keeps inline procs (no bootsupport tree).
- include_modules.config: added punkboot::utils entry (main + 2 layouts).
- Bootsupport snapshots propagated via make.tcl bootsupport.
- AGENTS.md: project version bump 0.2.0 -> 0.2.1 (patch: new make.tcl
projectversion subcommand is part of the product surface); added
clarifying line that make.tcl command interface warrants at least a
patch bump; src/project_layouts/ added to directories agents should
not directly modify.
- CHANGELOG.md: 0.2.1 entry.

The projectversion commit accidentally removed the
'if {$::punkboot::command eq "shell"} {' guard line, orphaning the
shell command body (package require punk/repl, repl::start) at top-level
scope. This broke every command whose if-block lives after line 1942
(vfscommonupdate, vendorupdate, bin, project, modules, libs, packages,
vfs) — they would hit the orphaned shell body and attempt to start a
REPL instead of running their intended function.
No behaviour change beyond restoring the guard; diff vs pre-projectversion
make.tcl is now purely additive.

Add a project-level version bumping mechanism for punkshell, tracked in
punkproject.toml, independent of individual module versions.
- root AGENTS.md: new 'Project Versioning' section with change-driven
SEMVER bump policy (patch/minor/major triggers), CHANGELOG.md requirement,
advisory enforcement contract, and independence from module versions.
- src/AGENTS.md: cross-reference to root Project Versioning section so
agents working in src/ discover the rule during their DOX chain walk.
- CHANGELOG.md: new repo-root file with initial 0.2.0 entry; latest
'## [X.Y.Z]' header must match punkproject.toml version.
- src/make.tcl: new 'projectversion' subcommand — read-only, advisory check
that warns on CHANGELOG/punkproject.toml version mismatch and on src/
commits since the last punkproject.toml change. Exempt from bootsupport
staleness abort (same as 'check'). Self-contained Tcl, no punk deps.

Resolves the build-maintenance TODO: built module trees no longer accumulate
superseded intermediate versions, and .punkcheck state stays consistent because
every deletion is recorded through punkcheck's event mechanism.
punkcheck (0.3.0):
- installsource_add_virtual + installevent method targetset_addsource_virtual:
'virtual' named-value SOURCE records (-type virtual -path virtual:<id> -value <v>)
compared by stored value, participating in targetset_source_changes. Needed
because successive module versions are built from the same physical source
files - the recorded virtual module_name/module_version identify which
product of the source fileset a target is, at install and delete time.
punk::mix::cli (0.5.0):
- lib::prune_superseded_target_modules: deletes lower-version .tm siblings only
when records prove the same module line (virtual module_name match, or legacy
fallback: recorded sources share the keep-version's source folder(s) and name
prefix). Unrecorded files are never deleted - reported to stderr instead.
- lib::prune_sourcevanished_targets: mirror-prune of recorded targets whose
recorded source files no longer exist (layout bootsupport copies, vendormodule
copies) - intentional multi-version vendoring is preserved.
- build_modules_from_source_to_base prunes after each module install/skip and
records virtual module identity sources on installs.
make.tcl:
- bootsupport: non-glob include_modules.config entries track only the latest
version - superseded recorded snapshot versions pruned; project-layout copies
mirror-pruned; virtual identity recorded on snapshot installs. Calls guarded
(info commands) so a stale bootsupport snapshot degrades to a warning and the
two-pass modules+bootsupport bootstrap self-heals.
- vendormodule copies in root modules*/ mirror-pruned after install.
docs/config:
- include_modules.config headers now document the entry format (non-glob =
latest-only + prune; glob chars = keep all matches; unrecorded never pruned)
- src/AGENTS.md TODO replaced with the durable prune contract;
src/bootsupport/AGENTS.md + src/tests/modules/AGENTS.md updated
tests: src/tests/modules/punk/mix/testsuites/cli/prune.test (19 tests) covering
virtual source recording/comparison and prune identity/safety rules.
Suites: punkcheck 64/64, full suite under Tcl 9.0.3 green except pre-existing
exec-14.3.
payload sync: bootsupport snapshots, project layouts and _vfscommon.vfs pruned
of superseded intermediates (~570k lines of stale .tm copies removed).
