Ran the copy-to-temp characterization on the suite's own tclsh90szip.exe 9.0.5:
loading a dll out of a zipfs mount extracts it to %TEMP%\TCL<8hex>\<dll>, a new
dir per load, none removed on exit. 'info loaded' reports the //zipfs:/ path so
the temp copy is invisible to script. Unbounded accumulation confirmed in the
wild: 15,609 such dirs in this machine's %TEMP% spanning ~5 months of kit runs.
Windows = the known TIP-741 flaw, no in-runtime cleanup in 9.0.5. Linux/WSL and
qemu guests still to characterize (unix can unlink-while-mapped, so expect no
accumulation - verify).

Self-contained-but-loads-binaries (the tclkit model) resolved: tclkitsh
binaries are self-contained via an embedded Metakit/zip VFS yet DYNAMICALLY
linked to libc - that dynamic libc is what makes dlopen/'load' work; extensions
reach Tcl via the stubs table handed through the interp (no host symbol export
needed). "Self-contained" and "static libc" are orthogonal.
- G-105 (Notes were empty): the dynamic-libc first-linux-target choice is the
tclkit model; fully-static-musl 'load' limitation stands; compiled-in
alternative is G-058.
- G-101 (Notes were empty): the prebuilt tclkit86bi/tclkit-win64-dyn runtimes
it replaces are dynamic-libc Metakit kits; loadable binary batteries imply a
dynamic-libc runtime; container choice is orthogonal to libc linking.
- G-103: temp-copy dll cleanup wart the family runtimes inherit - Tcl core
TIP 741 (DRAFT, windows-framed: TclpFinalizeLoad; extract-to-temp preserved
vs TIP 709). Requirement (user): test on ALL target platforms (windows,
linux/WSL, G-060 guests) that temp-dll/dir accumulation does not happen or is
characterized. Applies to G-101's Metakit kits too.
- G-060: one-line cross-platform test item pointing at the G-103 requirement.
Notes only; no contract changes. goals_lint clean.

bi (batteries-included) kits should carry tcltls (core.tcl-lang.org/tcltls) as
a suite-built battery with a zig-built OpenSSL/LibreSSL backend. TLS is already
a consumer dependency (punk::imap4, punk::netbox) shipped today only as vendored
prebuilt binaries (tcltls1.7.23/tls2.0b2) - building it retires those and
advances G-004.
Recorded as a battery line, not a separate goal, and explicitly non-gating:
the crypto-backend build (the real work - no OpenSSL/LibreSSL in the tree yet)
lands when convenient; tcltls stays a vendored binary in the interim. Aim is
to validate the general build/test/kit processes, not rush a releasable product.
Notes capture the feasibility crux (thin extension over a crypto lib built under
zig-only) and the G-107 test-step follow-on.

All six acceptance clauses satisfied (suite tclsh90s.exe 9.0.5, zig 0.16.0,
machine superbee): thread 143/0 + tclvfs 51/7 GATED with tracked dispositioned
baselines, deterministic across consecutive full runs; tcllib 62328/54 WITH
tcllibc accelerators engaged + tklib 796/18 RECORDED with artifact paths in the
detail file; tk opt-in step with a recorded first census (9865/27, native-
dialog files excluded by default); per-library policy/testargs/notfiles
overridable at invocation; no-totals fails the step in gate AND record mode
(verified); evidence-summary shape documented for the G-103 metadata consumer.
Flips G-107 active -> achieved and archives it (index entry to GOALS-archive.md,
detail file to goals/archive/). Reference sweep: G-103 Notes gain the thread-
payload-refresh forward-pointer (the suite now derives thread naming from the
checkout; the punk905 kit payload still carries the old 3.0.1 copy) and the
evidence-summary-shape pointer; G-108 Notes record that its constrained-test
runs reuse G-107's test_gate generalization + -notfiles knob.

Records the 2026-07-21 discussion: make.tcl's zip-kit extract+merge_over+mkimg
flow already unifies runtime-zip and vfs-folder payloads, so the bi family is
isomorphic to a .vfs kit without its main.tcl fauxlink. Where the equivalence
breaks (tcl_library provenance, stock-boot path setup, dll-from-zip loading) is
the goal's design content; generators stay separate (bootstrap hermeticity,
release axis) and meet at the attached-image contract - the concrete payload
contract promised to G-101.

Layout fold ("fold stale layout fixes into this"): both layout stores
(src/project_layouts/vendor/punk/project-0.1/bin and the modpod-templates
equivalent) had shipped a stale 2025-era runtime.cmd and a pre-G-096
getzig.cmd - the getzig rename had missed this channel entirely, so
generated projects still received old-named, stale utilities. Both renamed
via git mv AND refreshed to byte-copies of the current bin/punk-runtime.cmd
+ bin/punk-getzig.cmd; the layout src/runtime/Readme.md references updated
in both stores (the layout bin/runtime/ data-dir READMEs are gitignored -
updated on disk only, like the root bin/runtime/README.md); residual
old-name scan of the layout trees clean. The built modpod zips (root
modules/ + bootsupport templates-0.2.0.tm) carry old names until their
normal re-vendor cycles. Layout paths join the goal Scope per the approved
fold.

Two naming tiers mapped by tooling: immutable fully-qualified ARTIFACT names
in punkbin vs short stable WORKING names consumed by mapvfs and typed by
users, with 'runtime use' and mapvfs as the mapping. Runtime artifacts:
tclsh<dotted-patchlevel>[-punk[-bi]]-r<N> (dotted patchlevels required,
always-present assembly-revision tail, no punkshell version or patch revision
in the name - metadata is authoritative); working names drop the -rN. Kits
flip the release axis to the punkshell version: major-only typable working
names (punk9/punk8/punk9bi), artifact names punk<major>-<punkshellversion>;
the dev-matrix style (punk905 etc) remains a recognized owner-controlled
third style. Hyphen separators (no punk- prefix or PATH collision in these
namespaces), '+' banned for punkbin URLs, ordering by metadata not filename
sort. Resolves the acceptance's tcl-patchlevel/punk-version/separator
questions; the acceptance's pre-decision tclsh905punk.exe example is noted
as superseded by the dotted -punk shape.

User confirmation 2026-07-21, noted in the three affected goals: the bin
naming sweep runs first (runtime.cmd -> punk-runtime lands before G-103
extends the scriptset's list/use), the kit family + naming decision +
punkbin publication next, and the suite_tcl86 fork is taken only after the
family assembly steps exist in suite_tcl90 (fork-timing logic per
G-102-before-G-099), giving G-101 a concrete payload contract.

User direction 2026-07-21 recorded in G-103: piperepl-patched runtime
executables must carry 'punk' in the name (e.g tclsh905punk.exe) so
patched and unpatched are never confusable - now an Acceptance item, with
the open design questions captured (how to encode tcl patchlevel + punk
version, separator choice; existing sub-namespaces punkNNN kits /
tclsh-runtimes / punk- utilities; metadata carries authoritative versions
so filenames stay human-distinguishing). The suite's tclsh90spr/sprzip
are flagged as internal working names in patches/README.md pending the
scheme.
Also noted: punkbin pushes of suite runtimes are deferred until family
members carry Thread etc in the attached zip and the punk-named pr
variants exist - publication follows G-103's artifacts, not the interim
tclsh905/punk905 shapes. goals_lint clean.

User verified tclsh90spr 2026-07-20: interactive sessions normal with and
without TCLSH_PIPEREPL=0 (closes the G-096 matrix's residual user-level
check), and basic punk features work on the bare pr shell via repo tm
paths (raw mode twapi-reliant). Via './tclsh90spr src/make.tcl shell' the
powershell console-mode fallback engaged and raw mode worked - modulo
consolemode_server_async.ps1 noise and an early server shutdown.
New G-106 captures the requested direction: maintain the fallback as a
dependable raw-mode path for twapi-less runtimes (suite shells/kits),
hardening the known weak points recorded at creation - argv0-derived
pstooldir resolution (works for make.tcl shell by construction, little
else; kits need G-089 scriptlib delivery), server early-shutdown +
startup noise, and the unmarked experiment variants beside the canonical
script in scriptlib/utils/pwsh. Priority rises if G-103's zig-built twapi
investigation proves impractical - cross-noted there.

User decision 2026-07-20: other build systems/distributions already
provide completely-plain tclsh executables - not a punkshell product role.
G-103's 'plain' family member (no piperepl patch, batteries attached) is
plain enough for our purposes; the truly bare bootstrap-intermediate
tclsh (tclsh90szip-class, which already satisfies G-018's substance:
stock invocations, no punk namespaces, self-contained) remains readily
accessible as an ordinary suite build product under _build/<suite>/out
but is deliberately not showcased or published.
G-018 closing note records all of this; G-103 gains the plain-niche
boundary paragraph (scope's subsumption-review item resolved and
removed, GOALS.md mirror updated); G-102's relationship line updated.

User requirements batch 2026-07-20 integrated:
- G-103 runtime kit family: buildsuites produce self-contained kits whose
info library and batteries live in the initially attached zip - PLAIN
tclsh kit (Thread + tclvfs/vfs::* + tcllib/tcllibc), PUNK kit (piperepl
applied, ENABLED BY DEFAULT with env opt-out - gating review agreed; the
plain kit serves stock semantics), BI kits adding libraries we build (Tk
now; sqlite3/tdom easy/moderate futures; twapi flagged needs-investigation
under the zig-only policy). tcllib+tcllibc in all members (user lean,
agreed). Artifact metadata in punkbin (+compatible repos) surfaced by the
runtime scriptset list/use. G-018 flagged as substantially subsumed. 8.6
variant deferred through G-101 (static-vfs/metakit questions noted there).
- G-104 make.tcl buildsuite surface: list / info <suite> / build <suite>
with suites SELF-describing (info contract survives the G-102 driver
migration; copied trees appear automatically). mapvfs single-kit/list
wishes noted as sibling ergonomics.
- G-105 cross-target builds: -target as an invocation dimension (suite
folders stay version-named), linux x86_64 first verified via local WSL
with its own test baseline; zig tier findings VERIFIED and recorded -
the freebsd asymmetry suspicion is inverted (freebsd AS TARGET was the
gap, closed in zig 0.16 for FreeBSD 14+ with CI-tested x86_64/aarch64;
building FROM freebsd was already fine); macOS-as-target (SDK/frameworks)
recorded as the hard case; fully-static-musl dlopen limitation drives a
dynamic first linux target.
Cross-edits: G-096 piperepl matrix gains the kit-default policy update
(punk kits opt-out not opt-in); G-101 records the 8.6 kit-family
dependency; G-102 notes the family/target/surface as build-graph products.
