Julian Noble	d2e96dbe30	G-082 achieved: punk::args 0.12.1 single-form error selection - specific rejection preferred over generic overflow A word rejected by an OPTIONAL argument's allocation screen (G-071 restricted-choice screen, or the basic int/double/bool/number/dict type screen) that subsequently overflows the argument list now reports the specific rejection instead of "Received more values than can be assigned": - choiceviolation naming the word and allowed choices, with -badarg/-badval and the final-validation message template (Leading/Trailing argument attribution), for choice-screen rejections - typemismatch naming the declared (normalized) type, with -badarg/-badval, for basic-type screen rejections Mechanism: private::get_dict_can_assign_value returns a 'rejection' record (single-member clauses only; literal-category mismatches deliberately not recorded); get_dict_form collects first-rejection-per-word from the three allocation call sites (leader/value split trial, leaders loop, values loop) into a per-form store; the two toomanyarguments raise sites prefer a recorded rejection for the unassignable word. Genuinely-surplus words still report toomanyarguments; words consumed by later slots parse unchanged; multiform selection (rank_form_failures) untouched. errorselection.test _GAP pins flipped to the pointed expectations (pre-fix behaviour pinned in the previous commit). punk::args buildversion 0.12.0 -> 0.12.1. Closeout: G-082 flipped achieved + archived (index -> GOALS-archive.md, detail -> goals/archive/ with mechanism/verification/residue recorded); G-073 note updated to point at the new rejection-record seam; src/modules/AGENTS.md authoring-ergonomics bullet re-documented (-optional 0 workaround no longer needed on >= 0.12.1; make.tcl keeps it - it runs against the bootsupport 0.12.0 snapshot). Project version 0.12.28 + CHANGELOG. Verified: full punk/args suite 228/224/0-failed (4 intended skips) and punk/ns 57/57 under Tcl 9.0.3; errorselection.test 7/7 under Tcl 8.7; make.tcl frobnicate still pointed; goals_lint clean.

Julian Noble	7ea1deaae5	G-030 achieved: make.tcl dogfoods punk::args - tabled usage, declared subcommands, -confirm prompt policy 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).

Julian Noble	6af0fd541e	punk::args 0.12.0: formcheck on-demand multiform ambiguity analysis + @form -overlapallowed sanction (G-074 achieved) New punk::args::formcheck <id> ?-return dict\|summary?: reports the form pairs of a multiform definition that some argument list could cleanly match simultaneously (the multipleformmatches inputs). Static pairwise pass over the resolved FORMS enumerates each form's positional word-slot chains (leaders then values; -optional and ?-wrapped clause-member branching; -multiple capped; options excluded - order-free), screens aligned equal-length chains per position (discriminator words via choiceword_match, type witnesses from a small table), and CONFIRMS every candidate witness arglist with a real single-form parse against both forms (parse_status - no raise, no user-supplied words, no define/resolve cost). Findings are therefore witnessed - discriminated form pairs cannot false-alarm; misses (exotic types, option-requiring forms, enumeration caps) are the documented conservative direction. Classes: type_weakness (discriminator aligned with a permissive non-validating type - any/none/string/ansistring/globstring/expr/script) vs structural (forms genuinely share an argument shape). New @form key -overlapallowed <formname-list> sanctions a KNOWN overlap on either pair member: the finding reports with sanctioned 1 and leaves the result's unsanctioned list (the actionable/gate subset). Parse behaviour is never affected; unknown form names are rejected at definition resolve (end-of-forms cycle). @form directive doc updated. tclcore moduledoc 0.3.4: the documented after cancelid/cancelscript overlap (runtime-liveness ambiguity, 0.3.0 record) sanctioned on the cancelid form - ::after now reports zero unsanctioned findings while 'after cancel <id-shaped>' still raises multipleformmatches. ::lseq deliberately unsanctioned: formcheck reports range/start_count (witness {1 count 1}) AND range/count (witness {1 by 1}) - both real, both rooted in the expr-typed end slot, kept visible pending an expr syntax-validating type (G-069/G-070). Tests: new args/formcheck.test (7) - no-finding cases (parse withid/withdef pair, afterish/sharedform fixtures), class+sanction fixture, unknown-form rejection, -return summary, ::lseq/::after pins with witnesses re-verified, sanction parse-neutrality. punk::args suite 210/210, punk::ns 57/57. G-074 achieved and archived (acceptance review in the detail file); G-055 verification gate gains the formcheck step (unsanctioned must be empty for regenerated multiform commands).

Julian Noble	7e7d515cd0	G-041 achieved: multi-form matching - automated form selection for parsing and documentation Acceptance reviewed clause-by-clause in the detail file: auto-selection on a unique clean match (forms.test GAPs flipped), candidate-naming noformmatch/multipleformmatches errors, -form list restriction across get_dict/parse/parse_status/arg_error, doc surface presenting the best-matching form(s) ('i after cancel <id>' presents the cancel form; 's after cancel someid' underlines the matching synopsis lines), explicit single -form unchanged, full punk::args/punk::ns suites pass (full tree 822/836 with only the exec-14.3 baseline failure). Flip edits: index entry to GOALS-archive.md (achieved 2026-07-13), detail Status flipped with acceptance review and live-verification record, reference sweep updates G-044 (candidacy API now available - parse_status formstatus), G-055 backlink, G-072 backlink. Detail-file move to goals/archive/ follows as a pure rename; goals_lint transiently unclean between the two commits.

Julian Noble	deb8f17d72	G-051 achieved: doc-walk choice-prefix parity + truthful doconly cmdtype (punk::ns 0.4.0, punk::lib 0.4.1, project 0.12.13) Space-form docid prefix parity: cmd_traverse's space-delimited child docid jump, on an exact-word miss, now resolves the word against the current level's choices-bearing first leader via punk::args::choiceword_match (the shared G-040 resolver - -choiceprefix, -nocase, -choicealiases, denylist, reservelist honoured) and retries with the canonical word. 'i string is tr' resolves to the "::tcl::string::is true" documentation exactly when 'string is tr 1' executes; 'string is bool' -> boolean; ambiguous ('d'), unknown ('zz') and denied words stay at the parent exactly when parse rejects them. resolvedargs records the canonical, mirroring parse normalization. No second matching rule exists. Truthful cmdtype: cmdinfo classifies cmdwhich-notfound + non-empty docid as 'doconly' (was 'notfound') - documentation-only levels below real commands (per-class ids like "::tcl::string::is true", documented TclOO method docids; the method case adopts doconly per the recorded design decision, refinable by G-052). Consumers audited: cmdhelp/synopsis/eg are docid-driven, cmdtrace tests only for 'proc', punk::help topic fallback uses cmdwhich; punk::lib script analysis updated in step (doconly accepted alongside notfound, bucketing unchanged). Tests: the four G-051 GAP pins flipped and renamed (cmdhelp_pseudo_command_cmdtype_doconly, cmdhelp_spaceform_docid_prefix_honoured + ambiguous/unknown guard, cmdhelp_string_is_true_pseudo_doconly, cmdhelp_string_is_prefix_honoured). punk::ns 53/53 (cmdflow + non-GAP cmdhelp unchanged), punk::args 193 pass / 1 pre-existing skip, punk::lib 35/35; full source-tree suite result in the detail file. Live verification (punk902z src): 'i string is tr' renders byte-identical to 'i string is true' except the failure banner echoing the typed words. Flip edits: G-051 index entry to GOALS-archive.md (achieved 2026-07-13), detail Status flipped with acceptance review and verification record, reference sweep updates G-052 Notes.

Julian Noble	d4519f41d3	G-071 achieved: punk::args 0.9.0 allocation choice screen - lseq-class optional-element arglists parse in-form (project 0.12.11) Root cause: get_dict_can_assign_value blanket-satisfied the member check for any argument carrying choices, so an optional restricted-choice value (the lseq '..'/'to' noise word) consumed any word whenever arity permitted, starving later elements/clauses and failing validation with a confusing trailing-choices error ('lseq 0 10 2' shape). Fix: an allocation choice screen using choiceword_match (the shared G-040 implementation - exact/alias/prefix/nocase semantics; -choicemultiple words screened per list member within min/max), applied only where allocation has an alternative: -optional arguments and further occurrences of -multiple arguments. Required arguments are deliberately not screened - the word must fill them and validation's choiceviolation reporting stays informative (the existing parsestatus/cmdhelp/choices pins forced and now document both refinements). -choicerestricted 0 behaviour unchanged. Results: the allocation.test GAPs flipped ('1 2 3' and '1 2 by 3' parse with correct clause shapes {{} 3}/{by 3}; '1 2 3 4' gets the plain excess-values rejection instead of blaming the unrelated optional); prefix normalization survives the screen; all noise-word variants and if-shape guards unchanged. lseq moduledoc matrix parses per lseq.n under -form range, and 'i lseq 0 10 2' works end-to-end. Remaining lseq divergences trace to G-041 form selection or the -type expr laxity recorded in G-055 - not allocation. Also corrected an increment-1 mis-premise: parse_status ALREADY accepts -form before the withid/withdef tail per its documented synopsis - the probe had passed it trailing. GAP replaced by parsestatus_form_option_order (correct-order acceptance incl. the form key, trailing rejection). No code change was needed for that acceptance clause. Verification: punk::args suite 193 pass / 1 pre-existing skip / 0 fail; punk::ns 53/53; full source-tree suite 813 pass / 13 skip / 1 fail = exec-14.3 only (known baseline) - zero regressions (tclsh 9.0.3; lseq verification in punk902z src, Tcl 9.0.2). Flip edits: G-071 index entry moved to GOALS-archive.md (achieved 2026-07-12), detail Status flipped with the acceptance review and before/after record; reference sweep updates G-041 (prerequisite fixed, parse_status correction) and G-072 Notes.

Julian Noble	66df76c82e	G-045 achieved: punk::args 0.8.1 define quoting documentation; flip + archival edits (project 0.12.8) Increment 5 (final): the container quoting rules pinned by defquoting.test now appear in the punk::args::define -help documentation - braced values fully literal (backslash sequences survive as typed); double-quoted values get Tcl backslash semantics at record parse while $ and [] stay literal with no substitution outside tstr placeholders; the backslash-escaped placeholder idiom renders a literal placeholder. Rendered section verified in punk902z src (meta-escapes display correctly). punk::args suite 186 pass / 1 pre-existing skip / 0 fail. Acceptance review recorded in the detail file: all criteria satisfied across increments 1-5 (@cmd -unindentedfields 0.6.1, i help alignment punk 0.2.4, -& record continuation 0.7.0, @normalize + define_docs consumer proof 0.8.0/punk 0.2.5, quoting documentation 0.8.1; suite grown 128 -> 187 tests, GAPs flipped, none weakened, full source-tree suite zero regressions). Flip edits: G-045 index entry moved to GOALS-archive.md (achieved 2026-07-12), detail file Status flipped with evidence in Progress, reference sweep updates G-053 notes. The detail file move to goals/archive/ follows in the next commit as a pure rename (per the goals/AGENTS.md archive rules) - goals_lint is transiently unclean between the two.

Julian Noble	bac122da9f	G-039 achieved: punk::repl 0.5.0 dead-console watchdog stops orphaned-shell CPU spin (project 0.12.2) An interactive shell orphaned by its hosting console dying (killed conhost/terminal) previously spun ~2 cores forever: the Tcl 9 windows console driver never delivers the dead-console state to the script as a fileevent (tclWinConsole.c ConsoleEventProc only notifies on buffered data) while its reader thread busy-loops on the persistent channel error, so the script level is completely blind and nothing ever closes the channel. Fix: repl::console_watchdog - a self-rescheduling liveness poll (default 5s, repl::console_watchdog_ms; read-only GetConsoleMode probe via chan configure -inputmode) armed by repl::start only for a tcl9 console input channel serving the process-default console on windows. On probe failure it closes the input channel (stopping the driver's reader thread) and finishes the repl via the normal eof done-path; app-punkshell then finds no console reopenable and exits cleanly. Piped, foreign-console and tcl 8.6 inputs never arm it. repl::start's post-vwait reader deregistration now tolerates a watchdog-closed channel. Verification (2026-07-12): kill procedure post-fix exits the orphan in 1.5-2.0s with no traceback (src mode and rebuilt kits punkbi/punk91/ punk902z); 25s live-console soak shows no spurious trigger, CPU delta 0; piped stdin unaffected; repl consolebackends 3/3 and punk::console suites 88 pass / 1 skip; root cause verified against plain tclsh 9.0.3. Upstream ticket filed: https://core.tcl-lang.org/tcl/tktview/f10d91c2d3 Included: - goals: G-039 flipped achieved 2026-07-12 and archived (index entry to GOALS-archive.md, detail file to goals/archive/ with full root-cause, repro and verification record); reference sweep adds the eof done-value producer note to G-038 - src/modules/punk/AGENTS.md: watchdog contract documented - project version 0.12.1 -> 0.12.2 + CHANGELOG entry - vfs payload sync: _vfscommon.vfs punk/repl 0.4.0 -> 0.5.0 Assisted-by: harness=claude; primary-model=claude-fable-5; api-location=anthropic.com	3 days ago
Julian Noble	99af43c8be	goals: G-062 achieved archival + archive-loss prevention (sweep rules, backlink markers, goals_lint) Finalises the G-062 achieved flip staged by the prior session (punkshell 0.12.1): LICENSE.txt (BSD-2-Clause, Julian Marcel Noble 2023-2026) at the repo root, README/punkproject.toml/AGENTS.md license declarations, index record to GOALS-archive.md and detail file to goals/archive/. Archive-loss prevention, from the G-015 incident (its achieved-status verification parenthetical was silently dropped by the 2026-07-11 two-tier restructure's Status-line normalisation; the text is restored to the G-015 archive file's Notes with provenance): - root AGENTS.md 'Doc Restructures': deleted-line conservation check before committing bulk doc migrations, structured-field-normalisation hazard (relocate prose to body sections first), moves separated from edits - goals/AGENTS.md: lintable header field grammar (one line per field, bare Status values), flip-time verification evidence recorded in the body, the archive move content-identical, and a new archive-time reference sweep: pending-tense mentions of the archived goal updated in the live tier, and actionable archived notes pointed to from the affected live goal's Notes - GOALS.md maintenance rules: achieved-flip clause extended to require the evidence write-up and the reference sweep Retroactive reference sweep over all 12 archived goals (25 live detail files): pending-tense fixes (G-002 G-008 G-013 G-016 G-017 G-021 G-022 G-031 G-042 G-044 G-050 - G-017's Goal/Acceptance annotated as gate-satisfied, contract meaning unchanged), forward pointers pushed from archived notes (G-062 license-seeding follow-on -> G-012/G-027, G-037 vendorlib/vfs drift semantics -> G-024, G-058 static-baseline mechanism -> G-005), and one 'Archived-goal references' Notes bullet per remaining referencing file so every live mention of an archived goal is resolvable without consulting the archive index. scriptlib/developer/goals_lint.tcl (new, plain tclsh): validates detail-file header grammar, strict status values in both tiers, orphan rules in both directions, Status/Scope mirror consistency, plus an informational (never fatal) warning for live files referencing an archived goal with no achieved/archive marker - baseline now zero warnings.

Julian Noble	ae04b3f8c9	GOALS: two-tier index restructure - summary-only GOALS.md, canonical Goal/Acceptance in detail files, archive-on-flip - 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 Assisted-by: harness=claude; primary-model=claude-fable-5; api-location=anthropic.com	4 days ago
Julian Noble	f5cd86ebf1	add goals infrastructure: index format, archive stub, goals/ DOX doc Harness-agnostic technical project goal system. GOALS.md holds the canonical one-line index with format spec, status taxonomy, maintenance rules, and an agent-authoring workflow so agents asked to 'help me write a goal for X' ask the right questions. GOALS-archive.md is the achieved-goals archive stub. goals/AGENTS.md is the DOX child doc covering naming (G-<id>-<slug>.md), when a detail file is warranted, and the no-orphans/archive rule. goals/archive/.gitkeep tracks the archive dir.
