- GOALS.md collapsed to summary entries (ID/status/title/Scope/detail pointer): 104.6KB -> 23KB so a full read stays cheap; Scope lines kept verbatim so path-grep goal discovery still works
- canonicality split: index canonical for ID/status/title/Scope, detail file canonical for Goal:/Acceptance:; all 61 detail-file headers reconciled from the index (fixes stale copies, e.g. G-036 detail acceptance predated the achieved rework), bodies preserved untouched
- detail files created for the three index-only goals G-017, G-034, G-054; every goal now has one
- 10 achieved goals (G-007 G-015 G-036 G-037 G-040 G-046 G-049 G-054 G-058 G-059) archived: summary records appended to GOALS-archive.md, detail files moved to goals/archive/; archive-on-flip replaces the ~30-achieved-entries trigger
- GOALS.md preamble/rules reworked: read workflow (read index in full, then detail files of scope-intersecting goals before editing), contract spans both tiers with proposal-first unchanged, next-free-ID counts the archive, achieved flip judged against the detail-file Acceptance and includes archiving
- progress convention codified from G-001 increment-1 practice: index entries carry status only, never progress; incremental progress lives in the detail file's ## Progress section (landed/remaining); achieved flip requires the remaining-work list resolved - a partial increment never flips a goal
- goals/AGENTS.md rewritten for the split (required 4-field header, one detail file per goal, orphan rules covering archive/); root AGENTS.md Child DOX Index + Repo-wide Notes updated; GOALS-archive.md preamble updated
- stale detail-file paths updated to goals/archive/ in src/lib/app-punkscript/punkscript.tcl (comment), runtimebash_wsl.test, wslprobe.tcl and the G-042 detail file; propagated copies (root lib/, src/vfs/_vfscommon.vfs, src/_build) left to refresh via normal build steps
- no project version bump: governance docs and source comments only, no user-visible shell behaviour

G-030 (proposed): make.tcl - the first surface a developer sees - parses
subcommands/options via punk::args and showcases the tabled usage for
help and argument errors; every interactive y/n prompt gains a declared
flag equivalent (interactive stdin prompts as today; flag proceeds;
non-interactive stdin without the flag fails fast with usage instead of
hanging or half-aborting) so agents drive make.tcl with arguments rather
than piped y/n; punk::args joins the bootstrap-tracked staleness set.
Degradation is a hard requirement: boot stays self-contained and the
repair commands (check/bootsupport/modules) keep working with plain
fallback help when the bootsupport punk::args or the ANSI rendering
stack is stale/unavailable - this week''s stale-fileutil and
stale-textblock incidents are the cautionary tales.
G-015 detail: recorded the runx -tcl result-shape observation (dict keyed
{result stdout stderr}, no exitcode key unlike exec mode).
G-020 detail: stamped the 2026-07-07 decision - acceptance gates on a
full testable Windows system without requiring other platforms first.
