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.

- punk_main.tcl captures the runtime static baseline at kit boot: empty-filename [info loaded] prefixes probe-loaded in a throwaway interp (configurable denylist tk*/vfs/mk4tcl/vlerq/tdbc* for side-effecting/composite inits), recording only packages a load actually PROVIDES (diff on provides, not package names - probe loads can trigger index scans) into ::punkboot::static_packages/static_prefixes; the boot interp is seeded with ifneeded {load {} <prefix>} mappings
- punk::lib interp_sync_package_paths/snapshot_package_paths propagate the baseline and seed fabricated interps/threads; punk::repl codethread init (new %staticprefixes%/%staticpackages% scriptmap) and shellthread worker init do the same - the repl code interp on a static runtime resolves Thread again (punk91 = tclsfe-x64 + punk9win.vfs failed with "can't find package Thread"; the appended vfs replaces the stub's //zipfs:/app mount taking its static pkgIndex files with it, and the tclsfe PostInit hook seeds per-interp auto_path only)
- punk::packagepreference static-vs-bundled policy: requiring a baseline package ensures the static mapping and triggers the package unknown scan BEFORE resolution so bundled copies register and the highest version wins (newer bundled reachable, static not masked by older bundled); static registrations excluded from the loaded-shared-object same-version pinning
- composite statics defer correctly: static twapi provides nothing under the probe (script layer lived in the replaced stub zip) so the bundled complete twapi is the resolution; punk91 vfs/vfs::zip warning re-diagnosed as kit content (tclsfe bundles no tclvfs) - recorded in the goal detail, not a seeding defect
- tests: staticseed.test (4) + staticpolicy.test (4) un-gated simulated-baseline units (green 9.0.3 + 8.7); staticruntime.test (4) kit integration behind the capability-probed statickitavailable constraint (probes ::punkboot baseline incl Thread; env PUNK_STATICKIT_TEST_EXE override, default bin/punk91.exe) - 4/4 against the rebuilt punk91; punk902z/full shell tree/full source-tree suite baselines unchanged (exec-14.3 only)
- verification runtime tclsfe-x64.exe pinned in the punkbin artifact repo (separate repo, commit b2dbbe6) with sha1sums + new AGENTS.md scaffolding
- punkshell 0.6.0: CHANGELOG entry; AGENTS updates (src/vfs capture contract, tests indexes incl new punk/lib + punk/packagepreference entries, shell staticruntime contract)

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).

The new 'src' package_mode loads unbuilt modules and libraries from the project's src/ tree (src/modules, src/lib, src/bootsupport, src/vendormodules) instead of built output. It differs from 'dev' mode which points at built <projectroot>/modules. The src mode also runs an inline #modpod package-ifneeded scanner using Tcl builtins only (since no punk modules are loaded at boot time) and sets package prefer latest so 999999.0a1.0 dev modules are preferred over stable bootsupport/vendored copies. The exhaustive permutation switch for package_mode parsing was replaced with token-by-token validation that scales to any number of modes. Verified: punk902z src launches an interactive shell with package provide punk returning 999999.0a1.0.
