All acceptance items met and recorded in the goal file: clean-checkout +
punk-getzig-pinned-zig build PASS (shallow-path/longpaths MAX_PATH caveat
recorded; c:/T available as a shallow test base per user), recovered +
rebased piperepl patch set with the G-103 opt-out gate policy and full
behaviour matrix (automated rows + user interactive verification),
tclsh90spr/tclsh90sprzip products, per-version punk-getzig into versioned
dirs (all four paths verified), both-VCS tracking + samplesuite1/
vendorbuild reconciliation, bin/AGENTS.md naming policy + punk-getzig
rename. Flipped to achieved 2026-07-20 and archived; GOALS/GOALS-archive
updated; achieved markers added to the six referencing goals flagged by
the lint reference sweep (G-097, G-100, G-102, G-103, G-104, G-106).

Fresh clone (shallow path + core.longpaths - the deep-path first attempt
hit windows MAX_PATH on the modpod template trees, caveat recorded) ->
the clone's own punk-getzig fetched 0.16.0 (mirror chain, minisign,
versioned dir) -> cold-cache suite build PASS: 9.0.5 static/zip/pr/przip
shells with recipe-generated configure-products, zip shell smoked, all
tk/tklib/tcllib/tcllibc legs green.
Cold-log 'failed command:' blocks diagnosed as BENIGN zig 0.16 behaviour
(build_runner prints that block for any step with nonempty result_stderr
even on success) triggered by our own tools' informational stderr prints
- zipfs_mkzip/mkimg call echoes now go to stdout and wrapfiletofile's
octet count is removed; rebuild shows zero occurrences, PASS.
All G-096 acceptance items are now met - achieved flip pending user
confirmation.

The zig version is now the first argument (default = the suite pin,
0.16.0) and each version installs into tools/zig-x86_64-windows-<version>
- the zip's own root folder name, so the old rename-to-tools/zig step and
its post-ExtractToDirectory lock retry/GC dance are gone. Installed-check
warns if the exe's reported version mismatches its versioned folder.
Documented limitations: dev builds (/builds/) and pre-0.14.1 releases
(old zig-<os>-<arch> naming) are not handled - the punkbin flat tools/
mirror path covers those if one must be pinned. The bash side stays an
honest stub with the same argument convention.
Rewrapped via scriptwrap::multishell (punk905_beta src script) ->
bin/punk-getzig.cmd (the untracked .ps1 twin byte-synced locally).
Verified all four paths through the polyglot: explicit present version,
no-arg default, existing-zip verify+extract (0.15.2 zip with no dir), and
the FULL network path (0.15.2 artifacts removed then re-materialized:
mirror latency selection -> download zip+minisig -> signature verified ->
versioned extract -> ZIG VERSION 0.15.2). G-096's remaining item is now
the final clean-checkout re-verification only.

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.

The recovered 2024 TCLSH_PIPEREPL patch applies cleanly to current
core-9-0-branch tclMain.c (8 hunks, offset 4). Tracked as
patches/tclMain_piperepl_905.c = stock 9.0.5 + patch + gate-default flip:
ENABLED unless TCLSH_PIPEREPL=0 (2024 was opt-in set-and-not-"0") per the
G-103 punk-kit policy - the goal's Goal/Acceptance were aligned to that
policy first at user request. Era files kept unmodified as recovered
artifacts; patches/README updated (status, gate semantics, known
tcl_interactive early-link divergence when the gate is open).
build905.zig gains tclsh90spr (per-source construction mirroring tclsh90s
with both tclMain compiles - unicode + TCL_ASCII_MAIN ansi - swapped to
the patched file; stock products stay byte-for-byte unpatched) and
tclsh90sprzip (zipfs_mkimg wrap of the pr exe, -infile form). patches/
added to suite.tcl's staged recipe items. Full suite build PASS.
Behaviour matrix recorded in the goal: 9/9 stock-equivalence rows
IDENTICAL (script-arg / script-consuming-stdin / piped-commands x
unset/0/1 - open-gate plain scripts behave stock; unread piped payload
never eval'd); feature row proves buffering verbatim into
::tclsh(inputbuffer) (write-trace capture), console reopen success and
repl landing; =0 feature row identical to stock; przip variant identical
to pr - the G-103 punk-kit precursor works.

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.

Direction agreed 2026-07-20: the whole buildsuite pipeline becomes
drivable with only the pinned zig toolchain present. Pre-tclsh phases
(fetch, configure-product generation, compile) move into the zig build
layer with sources in a content-hashed zon-shaped manifest (fossil
sources pin as per-checkin tarballs - '-refresh' becomes 'bump the pin';
fossil-checkout flow retained as the dev alternative); post-tclsh phases
(tcllib/tklib installers, critcl, parsed-totals test gate) stay Tcl
scripts run by the FRESHLY BUILT suite tclsh as build steps. Acceptance
includes a PATH-scrubbed no-tclsh end-to-end demonstration, preservation
of the copy-and-tweak retargeting property, and the recorded rejection of
a bash+powershell polyglot for this layer (polyglot craft remains the
acquisition layer's mechanism - punk-getzig/getpunk first contact).
Cross-references: G-096 direction note marked RESOLVED -> G-102 (its
remaining items close on the current suite.tcl shape regardless); G-099
sequencing now weighs birthing suite_tcl86 onto the chosen driver shape.

A developer (no llm assistance, no punkshell modules - the driver stays
dependency-free plain tclsh) can now copy the suite tree and retarget
sources declaratively: urls/refs/pins live in sources.config (plain line
records 'source <name> <kind> <url> <ref> <dir>', parsed never executed;
fossil sources + the critcl git pin), and the build stage derives from the
suite FOLDER name so a copied tree stages into its own _build/<name>
isolated from the original. -tclbranch becomes a per-run override of the
declared tcl ref. Depth limit documented where the tweaker will read it:
same-major url/ref changes are config-only; version-class changes ripple
into build905.zig (checkout dir names, version-derived tm/dll/manifest
names).
README gains a Retargeting/copying section; its Sources section corrected
(stale per-stage fossil-store location from before the ~/.punkshell/fossils
move, and the G-098 sources were missing from the table).
Direction recorded in G-096 notes (2026-07-20): toml requirement DROPPED
for binary-build buildsuites; long-term intent is bootstrapping without a
pre-existing tclsh (zig acquisition = accepted root dependency; the
freshly built tclsh is the legitimate intermediate for tcllib/tklib
installers and critcl); zig-driver-vs-polyglot question recorded with the
current recommendation (zig hybrid; polyglot counselled against).
Verified: suite.tcl test -testargs '-file assocd.test' passes through
config load + fetch skip-logic + gate on the existing stage; stage
derivation for a copied name resolves to _build/<copyname>.

The build016 experiment port lands in the tracked recipe (root_module/
createModule creation, addLibrary+linkage, .root_module.* method sweep,
linkSystemLibrary options arg, array_list.Managed, Io.Dir dir-walks with
b.graph.io, wrapfiletofile ported to the 0.16 entry/Io idiom). 0.14 support
deprecated per user direction; 0.14.1 remains archived on punkbin. Verified
on the pinned default (bin/tools/zig-x86_64-windows-0.16.0): build PASS,
shells 9.0.5, tcl-test parity 557/357/200/0 identical to the 0.14.1 build.
punk-getzig payload pins -> 0.16.0 (windows zip + linux tarball), re-wrapped
checkfile ERROR-free, ps1 twin refreshed. punkbin commit 54714d7 holds the

First real buildsuite: build905.zig (verbatim G-076-validated recipe) +
helper modules + tools, driven by suite.tcl which stages the recipe into
src/buildsuites/_build/suite_tcl90, arranges sources (tcl fossil
core-9-0-branch --nested with FOSSIL_HOME isolation; thread/tclvfs trunk;
zlib from the tcl tree's compat/zlib; vqtcl from a local dir), generates the
configure-products fresh checkouts lack (tclUuid.h, tclsh.exe.manifest,
thread.rc include), builds and smoke-tests. Verified PASS: static + zip
shells report 9.0.5 (checkout 1a9c3b9d96), Thread 3.0.1 builds from current
trunk (new generated-include fix in build_tclthread) and loads. The 2024
TCLSH_PIPEREPL/tclZipfs/tclCmdIL patches are now tracked under
suite_tcl90/patches with a semantics README (not applied by default builds).
