vfslibs processed all declared trees (45 installs): every win32 tcl9 tree's
tcllib2.0 clean-slate replaced by the artifact copy (nested md5c/tcllibc
strays gone), sibling tcllibc-tcl9 installed, stray tcllibc2.0 names
superseded; tcl8 kits upgraded - tcllib1.21 (with nested tcllibc 0.4 + md5c)
superseded out, tcllib2.0-tcl8 + tcllibc-tcl8 in; punk86bawt's bare tcllibc
refreshed; punk9linux keeps its linux-built accelerator siblings (win32
artifacts deliberately not declared there). Every installed tree carries its
embedded punkbin-artifact.toml record into the kit payloads.
Selective bake punk86 + punk905 (punk91/punksys/punk9_beta are live user
shells - trees switched, bakes at next natural rebake): both deployed;
punk905 arch scan OK (tcllibc exempt under its platform subdir); punk86's
only warning is the recorded pre-existing zint i386 defect. Kit provenance
verified both container types: punkzip central-directory read (punk905 zip
kit) and in-vfs record probe (punk86 metakit kit) - records name their
source artifacts + build_ids.
VALIDATION (acceptance): kit-hosted runtests bracket isolating exactly the
kit payload switchover - baseline (pre-switchover punk86) 1125/1099/18/8 in
5 files (exec.test, ns/nslist, ns/nsprimitives, zip/zipaccel,
stdin/runstdin; 1960s); post-switchover IDENTICAL totals, files, and
per-test outcome extraction (1119 lines, empty diff). Differences to
disposition: none - the 8 failures pre-exist on the old payload.
punkcheck-managed vfs tree changes batched per the src/AGENTS.md carve-out.

Boot (punk_main.tcl + project_main.tcl, identical copies):
- zipfs presence keys on tcl::zipfs::mount - present in every supported zipfs
generation - not tcl::zipfs::root (8.7/9-era; absent from the androwish/
undroidwish 8.6 backport, whose ::zipfs ensemble also lacks a root subcommand).
- New factored ::punkboot procs (zipfs_mount_pairs, zipfs_kit_mountbase,
path_within) derive where this executable's attached archive actually mounted:
the mount-table entry whose archive file is [info nameofexecutable] (the
backport reports it without the windows drive prefix - handled), fallback the
mount containing the boot script. //zipfs:/app stays the expected modern
answer, not an assumption. Procs remain defined post-boot for tests.
- A mounted archive that cannot be attributed to the executable is reported on
stderr instead of silently configuring no internal paths (the old failure shape).
- The starkit quick-search line [zipfs root]/app/tcl_library (an error on the
backport) uses the derived base; internal_paths gains the derived base when no
zipfs volume root covers it; the internal-only simulate-kit branch recognises a
script under the derived mount as kit-internal.
make.tcl (necessary companion fixes - Scope extension flagged in the goal file):
- Runtime capability probe keys has_zipfs on tcl::zipfs::mount (was root, which
refused zip assembly for the backport; the block also rode a body-less
'if {![catch ..]}' that only worked because piped-stdin tclsh continues past
command errors).
- merge_over resolves relative fauxlink targets against the link file's own
directory (the fauxlink module's symlink semantics) - identical for the
pre-existing root-level links, required for the new nested one.
Payload + matrix:
- punk8win.vfs gains an app/main.tcl fauxlink beside root main.tcl: the
undroidwish family auto-runs app/main.tcl INSIDE the attached archive
(embedded /app/main.tcl string in the exe) and ignores a root main.tcl.
Inert in the metakit kits sharing the payload (punksys/punk86/punkbi verified).
- mapvfs.config: punkluck86 (tclsh8.6.10-luck-zip) + punk91ix86
(tclsh9.1b0-tclsfe), both zip kits targeting win32-ix86.
Tests + docs:
- New shell/testsuites/punkexe/kitmountpoint.test (4 tests): backport exe-path
attribution, modern-32 //zipfs:/app, baked punkexe regression pin,
unattributed-mount stderr report + no foreign paths. Self-gates on the
untracked verification runtimes.
- bin/AGENTS.md "Kit-wrappable runtime requirements (G-129)" + src/AGENTS.md
pointer, src/vfs/AGENTS.md boot contract, src/tests/shell/AGENTS.md suite doc,
ARCHITECTURE.md boot-chain bullet.
- Thin-layout + templates-modpod copies synced (make.tcl modules; _config boot
mains refreshed into the project-0.1 store layout per the 17250a8c precedent).
Verified: punkluck86 + punk91ix86 boot and resolve punk::args from inside their
mounts with externals stripped; punk905/punk902z (zipfs) + punksys/punk86
(starkit) probe byte-identical before/after; both zip offset conventions (mkimg
+ concat) mount on the backport; full suite 1171 tests with only the documented
exec-14.3 baseline failure.

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.
- project 0.4.8 (CHANGELOG entry)
