Notes-only on the goal; the new tracked material is the sdx patch capture.
G-101 gains four sections and an extended Scope line naming the surveyed trees
and bin/sdx.kit: a reference-material inventory giving the metakit boot chain in
reading order with file:line anchors (kbskit kitInit.c pre-init -> boot.tcl raw
mk::select bootstrap -> setupvfs.tcl -> mk4tcl.cpp Mk4tcl_Init, with KitCreator's
storage-switch variant as the comparison reference for scoping cookfs/zipvfs);
sdx provenance; the self-mount shadowing gotcha; and metakit-under-Tcl-9
feasibility. Two findings bear on the container choice: 8.6's core zlib cannot do
mk4vfs streaming (kbskit boot.tcl states it - forces whole-blob decompression,
relevant to a battery-carrying kit), and TEMP_REFERENCE/metakit is UNPATCHED
upstream while KitCreator carries eight 8.x-era fixes.
Self-mount shadowing verified live rather than inferred: inside a running tclkit
[file type [info nameofexecutable]] is 'directory', so a kit cannot read or copy
itself as a file and cannot be handed to sdx as -runtime (wrap.tcl LoadHeader is a
plain file read). make.tcl:4995-5005 already works around this with _BUILDCOPY;
recorded as a requirement to preserve. Container-agnostic - zipfs has the same
shape via its /app anchor.
src/buildsuites/suite_tcl86/patches/ captures the bin/sdx.kit delta into tracked
form. bin/sdx.kit is tracked and is what make.tcl resolves for the 'kit' wrap
path, but it is NOT stock sdx: unwrapping it and stock 2011-03-17 sdx gives 64
identical files except lib/app-sdx/wrap.tcl, whose entire difference is a
two-line binary-mode read of tclkit.inf before stringfileinfo patches the PE
version resource. That evidence previously existed only in gitignored scratch/
and TEMP_REFERENCE/ copies - one git clean from gone. Stock baseline, patched
file and diff are all byte-exact (hashes in the README); the patch round-trips to
the patched file byte for byte under 'patch --binary'. The stock baseline is kept
in full because upstream (svn://svn.equi4.com/sdx/trunk) no longer exists. Both
.tcl files are CRLF and must stay CRLF - vendored fidelity artifacts, exempt from
the repo's LF-on-edit preference.
Scope-limiting facts recorded rather than assumed: the patched path is DORMANT
for present builds (fires only with -runtime + a .exe runtime + a tclkit.inf in
the source .vfs, and no tclkit.inf exists in this repo), and the fix itself is
UNVERIFIED - plausible as a CRLF-corruption fix but no reproducer was recorded
with it. Confirming or retiring it is part of this goal's characterization work,
alongside the bootstrap circularity noted in the goal (sdx.kit is itself a metakit
starkit, so wrapping a suite-built 8.6 runtime currently needs a prebuilt
third-party tclkit of exactly the kind G-101 exists to replace).
Of the two proposed acceptance riders, this commit discharges the first (capture
the patch before any sdx rebuild). The second stands: the end-to-end demonstration
must wrap a SEPARATE COPY of the runtime so the shadowing path is exercised rather
than accidentally avoided.
A back-pointer to these findings was added to TEMP_REFERENCE/AGENTS.md so the
survey is not repeated; that tree is VCS-ignored, so it is not part of this commit.

Extends the 8.6 buildsuite with the remaining pieces punkshell's Tcl 8 testing
depends on, all built from source with the pinned zig 0.16.0 toolchain only.
Tk 8.6.17 (build_tk86/build_tk86.zig) is a RE-DERIVATION from the staged 8.6
win/makefile.vc + rules.vc, not a port of suite_tcl90's build_tk.zig:
- no generic/tkPkgConfig.c in 8.6 -> no CFG_* defines at all
- rules.vc TCL_MAJOR_VERSION==8 arm -> tk86t.dll + lib/tk8.6 (vs tcl9tk90.dll)
- @TK_WIN_VERSION@ substitutes $(DOTVERSION).0.0, not the tcl-style
<dotversion>.<releaselevel>.<patchlevel> formula
- 8.6 TKOBJS carries no tkIcu/tkImgListFormat/tkImgSVGnano/tkWinGDI/tkWinIco/
tkWinSysTray; XLIBOBJS is a first-class makefile macro here (the 9.0
derivation had to recover those files by hand)
USE_TCL_STUBS + USE_TCLOO_STUBS against libtclstub86.a is the stock rules.vc
arrangement and keeps the dll loadable by both suite shells. tkMain.c is
compiled twice per makefile.vc, the ansi copy forced with -UUNICODE/-U_UNICODE
(verified the pinned zig cc defines neither for x86_64-windows-gnu, so the 8.6
core's ANSI/TCHAR arrangement is matched exactly).
tklib 0.9 and tcllib 2.0 install via their own installer.tcl (batch, packages
only, explicit -pkg-path so the installer's tcl_pkgPath-derived default can
never write off-tree); tcllibc is built by critcl 3.3.1 driving zig cc (tracked
critcl_zig.config, target pinned win32-x86_64-zig - critcl otherwise probes PATH
and falls back to its builtin msvc target). critcl compiles against its own
bundled headers chosen by the driving shell's version, which is why one config
serves both generations.
New evidence tools, run on every build:
tools/tk_smoke.tcl maps a real toplevel with classic + themed widgets,
updates, then destroys it - a load-only check passes
even with no usable display
tools/accel_bench.tcl same payload through sha1's critcl and pure-Tcl
implementations with the digests compared:
4MB -> critcl 5.7ms vs pure-tcl 2736ms = 477x
Test tiers (G-107 policy pattern): test-tcllib/test-tklib on the record tier
inside test-libraries, plus an opt-in test-tk (winDialog/winMsgbox excluded by
default - their message-injection automation blocks on a human under a batch
shell). First censuses on tclsh86ts.exe 8.6.18:
thread 142 run / 0 failed GATE PASS
tklib 796 run / 0 failed record
tcllib 64259 run / 41 failed record (names in the summary artifact)
tclvfs 51 run / 4 failed GATE PASS after baseline extension
The tclvfs baseline grew vfsFtp-1.1..1.3: they sit behind an 'ftp' constraint
needing tcllib's ftp package - absent at the G-099 capture, satisfied now that
the suite installs tcllib - so they run and reach the retired ftp.tcl.tk, the
same external-service class already baselined for vfsUrl-1.2/2.1.
punkshell runtests census (both runs 2026-07-26, identical flags, default
single-process sequential - 8.6 has no tcl::process so -jobs re-convoys):
native Tcl 8.6.17 1003 total / 986 passed / 10 skipped / 7 failed
suite tclsh86ts 1003 total / 987 passed / 10 skipped / 6 failed
runtests_parity.tcl finds exactly ONE difference: punkcheck
concurrency_two_writers_no_corruption failed in the BASELINE run and passed on
the suite runtime - a full-suite-load flake (6/6 twice in isolation on both
runtimes). Zero suite-runtime-only failures. Tk-dependent suites ran unskipped
(repl consolebackends 3/3, including the tkconsole backend on the suite Tk).
Two defects fixed in passing:
- scrubTclEnv never cleared TCL<major>_<minor>_TM_PATH, so suite shells
silently preferred machine/repo tm modules over what the suite had just
installed (a repo-built sha1-2.0.4.tm shadowed tcllib's 2.0.5, md5 2.0.8
shadowed 2.0.9) - any census through such a shell measures the machine. The
scrub list now covers TCL8_0..8_7 + TCL9_0/9_1 in all three sites (per-step,
suite.tcl process-level, bootstrap nested build). suite_tcl90 has the same
exposure via TCL9_0_TM_PATH and is deliberately untouched here (out of this
goal's scope) - pointers recorded in G-108 and G-116.
- build.zig.zon's .fingerprint was hand-authored, so 'zig build' from the
tracked suite dir died with 'invalid fingerprint' - the no-tclsh bootstrap
flow could never have run. Corrected to zig's computed value (its low half
is a checksum of the package name); 'zig build stage' now verified.
Goal flipped to achieved 2026-07-26 and archived; reference sweep updated G-005,
G-101, G-105 and ARCHITECTURE.md, and the archive-time xref pair G-101 <-> G-116
(whose only bridges were the archived G-100/G-103) gained a direct Related
pointer. No project-version bump - arm's-length build tooling, not shipped shell
behaviour.

Builds a Tcl 8.6.18 windows runtime from core-8-6-branch sources with the
pinned zig 0.16.0 toolchain only (no MS toolchain), forked from suite_tcl90
(duplication-with-a-note posture). Products (stock threaded-release naming -
rules.vc keeps the 't' SUFX on 8.6):
bin/tcl86t.dll + tcl86t.lib shared core (static zlib compiled in; no zlib1.dll)
bin/tclsh86ts.exe static shell (kit-class; dde/registry static)
bin/tclsh86t.exe dynamic shell against the dll
lib/libtclstub86.a stub lib for extensions
lib/tcl8.6/... script library tree (dde/reg dlls inside)
lib/tcl8/{8.5,8.6}/... tm modules; lib/thread2.8.13, lib/vfs1.4.2
Companions: thread 2.8.13 (thread2813t.dll, TEA installed shape from the
checkout's own pkgIndex.tcl.in) and tclvfs 1.4.2 (vfs142t.dll) build and load;
registry 1.3.5 / dde 1.4.6. No zipfs in 8.6 - exe+dll+on-disk lib tree only,
resolved hermetically (exe/dll-relative, TCLLIBPATH/TCL_LIBRARY unset in all
child runs).
Recipe: build86.zig + build_common.zig + build_zlib86/build_tclthread86/
build_tclvfs86 helpers; tools/ and src/main.zig copied verbatim (suite-agnostic).
Two load-bearing 8.6 findings recorded in the README DERIVATION and recipe
comments: MP_FIXED_CUTOFFS (the in-core libtommath ships no bn_cutoffs.c) and
TCL_BROKEN_MAINARGS + console subsystem for the gcc-class main() entry.
Test gates (suite.tcl test -> zig build test-gate/test-libraries) parse all.tcl
totals (exit codes untrusted) and gate against tracked dispositioned baselines.
First census + two-consecutive-run deterministic PASS (machine SuperBee):
core 46525 run / 2 failed (filename-16.12/16.13 admin-share self-globbing)
thread 142 run / 0 failed (empty baseline)
tclvfs 51 run / 2 failed (vfsUrl-1.2/2.1 external ftp.tcl.tk dependency)

modpod refresh used the established virgin-tclsh direct copy (cd6aec8f

Field-driven follow-ons to G-121 from driving make.tcl with an msys/cygwin-runtime
tclsh (scoop msys2 tclsh8.6, tcl_platform(platform)=unix):
- bakelist: when the derived per-platform runtime store folder does not exist, a
stderr WARNING now shows the platform-canon derivation (tcl_platform os/platform
-> canon, observed mingw64-x86_64 under a MINGW64_NT MSYSTEM env) and the header
line carries (FOLDER MISSING) - every row reading runtime=missing now self-
diagnoses its non-per-entry cause. bake's "No executable runtimes found" exit
gains the same note when the folder is absent. Native-host output unchanged
(maketclbakelist.test 4 PASS).
- make.tcl shell 'help platforms' degraded to "punk::platform package not
available" on ALL hosts (not msys-specific): the module was absent from the
bootsupport snapshot. Added punk::platform to
src/bootsupport/modules/include_modules.config (pure Tcl, deps only Tcl's own
platform package); verified the full canon table renders via a piped
'help platforms' under tclsh90 src/make.tcl shell.
- G-013 Notes: recorded the msys raw-mode field finding (cursor placed at row 1
after each command under the msys pty class) as a raw-mode-default blocker
dimension - console/repl work, deliberately outside the make.tcl host/target
catering goal being drafted.

One parsed-mapping model (::punkboot::lib::mapvfs_parse / mapvfs_kit_outputs /
mapvfs_match_outputs) now backs the kit surfaces - the bake machinery, the new
bakelist report and the bake/bakelist argdoc kit-name choices all consume the
model, never the file format, so the G-024 toml conversion can swap the reader
underneath.
- bakelist ?kitname ...? (informational SUBGROUP): kit name, type, runtime with
presence, vfs folder, deployed state of bin/<kit> vs src/_build/<kit>
(current|stale|absent|nobuild; size/mtime fast path, byte-compare when in
doubt), anomalies as trailing key=value notes (runtime=missing, vfs=missing,
rtrev=r<cur><r<max> via the shared runtime_materialization_check core).
Name filtering doubles as per-kit detail (resolved paths/sizes/mtimes).
- bake ?kitname ...?: selective kit assembly - unknown names error before any
build listing the configured names (flag-order hint included); selected-but-
unbuildable kits (missing runtime/vfs) fail fast; runtime BUILDCOPY/caps
probe/vfs cksums/vfslibs phase all narrow to the selected kits so other kits'
_build/bin artifacts and punkcheck records stay untouched. Bare bake
unchanged (verified full-set run). Deprecated alias vfs mirrors the values.
- argdocs: SUBVALUES/VALUES_SYNOPSES mechanism, kitname choices enumerated from
the mapping at define time (-choicerestricted 0, degrade-safe), block-form
help values; SUMMARIES/HELPTEXTS/SUBOPTS/SUBGROUPS/known_commands/plain
gethelp/workflow text updated per the update contract; degraded-mode
(PUNKBOOT_PLAIN) dispatch collects trailing kit names.
- mapvfs.config todo comment retired to point at G-121.
- piped characterization: src/tests/shell/testsuites/punkexe/maketclbakelist.test
(full-report row/vocabulary + ESC-free, filtered detail, unknown-name errors
on both surfaces with the no-build guarantee) - 4 PASS; maketclcolour.test
still 3 PASS.
- selective-refresh verification (recorded in the goal file): forced punk91
rebuild + deploy via 'bake -confirm 0 punk91'; stat diffs over src/_build and
bin show only punk91.exe, punk91.exe.vfs, raw_tclsfe-x64.exe and bin/punk91.exe
changed; .punkcheck diffs mention only punk91's records (negative grep for
all other kit/vfs names clean).
- docs: src/AGENTS.md work-guidance bullet; ARCHITECTURE.md build-entry
subcommand list refreshed (bake/bakehouse naming + bakelist, stale in-flux
G-112 mention dropped); CHANGELOG 0.24.0 + punkproject.toml minor bump.

Second 8.6 tty rung: on unix-class Tcl 8.6 (linux/WSL/mac AND msys2/cygwin-
runtime builds, which report tcl_platform unix even on a windows machine -
e.g the scoop msys2 usr/bin/tclsh8.6), real ttys are isatty-gated into the
tty channel type and expose the serial/tty options (-mode etc) that pipes/
files lack - a zero-exec, dependency-free discriminator exactly parallel to
-winsize. Verified: WSL 8.6.14 pty mode=tty colour on ansistrip=0 vs piped
tcl86-plain stripped; msys2 8.6.12 piped tcl86-plain (interactive -mode
presence per field report); windows batteries + punkexe suites 54/0
unchanged. Together with the 0.23.2 windows console-encoding signature this
completes dependency-free 8.6 tty detection - the planned G-122 probe-ladder
goal (procfs/test -t/twapi rungs) is superseded before drafting: channel
signatures cover every case without exec or optional packages.
Also confirmed by byte-diff: 8.6 and 9.x piped help renders are IDENTICAL
(modulo native-8.6 zipfs warnings) - no 8.6-specific rendering defect exists;
the top-level help's wide Description indent is a cross-version cosmetic of
that one constructed definition, present on 9.x too.

Defect: the G-113 ansistrip transform was pushed onto Tcl 8.6 windows CONSOLE
channels, which encode utf-16 ('unicode') - at byte level ESC arrives as 1B 00
so sequences passed through unstripped and the hold-back carry deferred/
dropped real content, seriously mangling interactive punk86/punksys
'src/make.tcl help' layout (user-reported). Chunk-boundary handling itself is
sound: a rig proved strip output invariant across chunk sizes 1..4096 over
byte-transparent encodings; the failing dimension was encoding, not cutting.
(Comparison recorded: shellfilter::chan::ansistrip is the complement - it
decodes per the channel encoding and buffers undecodable tails, but assumes
line-buffering for sequence splits.)
Fix is detection, not utf-16 stripping: only 8.6 windows console channels
report -encoding unicode (pipes/files get the system encoding; hidden-console
probes confirmed across bawt tclsh86 8.6.13, punk86 8.6.17, punksys 8.6.13;
tcl9 consoles report utf-16 but are caught by -winsize first). The policy now
treats that signature as tty: mode=tty, colour ON, no transform - interactive
8.6 windows colour with no env var and no twapi. The transform push is now
PER CHANNEL and skips utf-16-class channels ('> file' from an 8.6 console
wraps stdout only - stderr console keeps its ANSI); ansistrip_pushed is the
wrapped-channel list, shell pops exactly those, policy/check lines print
ansistrip=stdout+stderr|stdout|0.
Verified: hidden-console 8.6 x3 mode=tty ansistrip=0; half-redirected punk86
console run ansistrip=stdout; piped 8.6/9 batteries unchanged (zero ESC,
force re-colours); punkexe suites 54/0 (maketclcolour pins updated to the

use wart fixed (both payloads + rewrapped bin/punk-runtime.cmd, checkfile

candidate lookup falls back to <name>.exe when the exact name is absent -
exact names (incl. extensionless unix artifacts in foreign -platform staging
folders) still match first. Verified live in a throwaway platform folder via
the .cmd (ps1 payload) and the bash payload driven directly (msys exe-magic
already masked the wart under msys bash; the fallback serves real unix shells).

demoted to revision=1 fires the warning once + recap (and would have caught

no spurious rewraps. Pre-family runtimes (no toml) and direct -r<N> references
stay silent.

New informational pass in goals_lint (stem-sibling repair heuristic): a
live-tier reference to a version-suffixed filename that is MISSING while a
same-stem sibling exists on disk warns, naming the sibling(s) - the drift
signature of manually-versioned module bumps (libunknown), magic-scheme
conversions (config) and stamped bootsupport/vendored renames (fauxlink),
exactly the classes fixed in the preceding hygiene commit. References with no
stem-sibling stay quiet (proposed goals legitimately name future artifacts);
archive tier, globs, URLs, absolute paths and 999999.0a1.0 exempt; warnings
never fatal (Scope is contract text - the fix stays a directed edit).

- Thread 2.8 selection: thread-2-8-branch @ e14fa771ae (tagged thread-2-8-13,
2.8.13); configure.ac TCL_MAJOR_VERSION==8 guard confirms the pairing.
- 8.6 source records in BOTH flows: dev refs (core-8-6-branch -> tcl86,
thread-2-8-branch, tclvfs trunk 1.4.2-era) + zon per-checkin pins
(tcl 1d1d5cbd91 = 8.6.18 era).
- First staging run through 'make.tcl buildsuite build suite_tcl86' (a real
driver run through the G-104 surface): checkouts staged from the shared
hermetic store, TCL_PATCH_LEVEL 8.6.18 read from the tree.
- makefile.vc derivation findings recorded incl. two Context corrections:
8.6.18 DOES generate tclUuid.h; zlib is prebuilt-import in stock nmake
(zig-only recipe will compile compat/zlib statically).
Core-test census + baseline deliberately pending until a built tclsh86 exists
(recorded in Progress).

Acceptance evidence recorded in each detail file before the content-identical
archive moves:
- G-112: fresh-rebuild bake products BYTE-IDENTICAL to pre-rename vfs products
(punk91 zip-wrap + punk86 kit-wrap; vacuous punkcheck-skip pass caught and
redone), vfslibs phase runs inside bake, aliases + bakehouse dirty-refusal

- G-113: zero-ESC piped on tclsh90 + punk kit + 8.6, force overrides, real
Windows-console and WSL-pty mode=tty evidence, maketclcolour.test green;
manual-visual note recorded.
- G-104: list/info/build + self-description contract verified incl. a copied

Sweep: G-005/G-018/G-035/G-047/G-099 pending-tense references rewritten with
archive pointers; forward-notes pushed to G-108/G-061/G-105; G-099<->G-108
re-bridged with a direct Related line (their bridges were all archived).
Also: tclsh9.0.5-punk working runtime re-materialized to r2 (stale local

buildsuite group added as a declared passthrough (punk::args + fallback paths):
list discovers suites (dirs carrying suite.tcl; _build excluded), info renders
the manifest-derived detail, build forwards driver args untouched streaming
output and exiting with the driver's status (punk-kit-hosted runs launch the
driver via the kit's script subcommand, selected by the G-058 marker).
Self-description = manifest option: sources.config gains description/product/
doc/zigpin records parsed by both suite.tcl (strict; pinned-zig default now
reads zigpin - one source of truth) and make.tcl (tolerant). suite_tcl90
seeded with its records. Copied trees appear automatically (verified with a

vfs -> bake (kit assembly; vfslibs phase folded in so a bake cannot ship stale
binary libs), project retired -> bakehouse (packages + bake, -dirty-abort
default ON, refusal names the granular developer flow). project/vfs remain as
deprecated aliases: one-line stderr notice + pre-dispatch mapping; alias
argdocs mirror their targets so flags parse identically. vfslibs survives as a
standalone narrowing (in-session decision recorded in the goal file).
SUBOPTS/SUMMARIES/HELPTEXTS/SUBGROUPS/known_commands, end-of-run guidance,
plain gethelp and workflow text rewritten to the two-persona model (groups:

recorded in detail Notes (nothing beyond the drafting survey).
Holder named: punk::libunknown zipfs_tm_UnknownHandler's builtin-static
shortcircuit leaked its version-probe child interp 'ptest' whenever an
UNVERSIONED package require of a true static reached the handler -
'package vsatisfies $v' with zero requirement args throws wrong#args,
skipping both interp-delete lines. The leaked non-safe child holds
registrations on the process std channels, so 'chan close stderr' left the
OS handle alive and the slot occupied; the next open got a fileN name and
puts stderr failed (punk91/tclsfe-9.1b0 only: Thread is a true static there,
punk905 loads it from a dll so the block never fires).
Fix (0.2.2): auto-named probe interp deleted in try/finally; zero-requirement
requires accept any provided static version; probe errors fall through to the
normal tm search. Disposition recorded in the goal detail: leak, fixed - not
console-ownership machinery.
Verified: bin/punk91 src script recipe yields channel auto-named stderr with
working puts stderr; libunknown+console+repl suites 105/105 pass (tclsh90).

The starred active row previously never changed across 'use' switches
(every -rN materializes to the same working name) and carried the
name-keyed dead end '(not listed on server)' - true of the name,
unexplanatory for a working copy whose bytes match a server artifact.
Rows the server listing does not name now carry an untitled identity
middle column: from=<artifact> for materialized working copies (the
beside-toml source; content verified against that artifact's server
sha1 so the Remote cell shows a real status - Same version, CONTENT
DIFFERS for the immutable-artifact anomaly, or '(artifact not listed
on server)'), sha1=<name> for tomlless byte-copies (default-first-
then-ordinal pick, the same rule as the freshness fallback so row
identity and freshness verdict always name the same artifact).
'(not listed on server)' remains only for genuinely unknown files;
the (server default) row annotation follows artifact identity onto
working copies of the default. Table header/rules widened to the
three-column layout, payload row formats now column-aligned across
ps1/bash; help text updated; bin/punk-runtime.cmd rewrapped
(checkfile clean).
Chosen shape (user-approved from mockup variants): untitled middle
column with self-keyed from=/sha1= tags - consistent with the plain
list metadata summary's from= vocabulary and self-describing when a
row is pasted without its header.
runtimecmd_freshness.test +3 row-shape tests (identity columns, the
identity-following default annotation, anomaly statuses) with ps1/bash

1 pre-existing skip / 0 fail (roundtrip + checkfile pins green, WSL
row pins unaffected). bin/AGENTS.md + shell tests AGENTS updated.

(PUNKBIN_URL override): ahead/behind verdicts naming both revisions
(behind with fetch+use guidance), current annotation preserved,
pre-family no-basis note + sha1 hash-identity, no-name-fetch one-line
divergence note; ps1/bash verdict-line parity asserted per scenario;
runtimecmd roundtrip pin green; bin/AGENTS.md runtime-manager contract

previous commit as a pure 100% rename; this commit carries the flip's
content edits). Index entry moved to GOALS-archive.md. Reference sweep:

list -remote now states the relationship between the ACTIVE runtime and
the SERVER DEFAULT whenever both are known: explicit freshness: AHEAD/
BEHIND verdicts naming both revisions (BEHIND adds a fetch+use update
guidance line), an equivalent current verdict where the (= server
default) identity annotation did not fire, a different-series
incomparable note, and a stated no-revision-basis note for pre-family
actives - with sha1 VALUE-matching against the server sha1sums
identifying a byte-copy of a server artifact by content (support-file
rows excluded; first ordinal/C-collation match in both payloads). A
NO-NAME fetch prints the same verdict as a one-line note when the
active diverges from the resolved default (BEHIND carries an inline
'use <default>' hint - the artifact was just fetched). Revision basis:
-r<N> parsed from artifact-named actives, else the beside-toml revision
field (materialized working copies); the default's revision parses from
its defaults.txt name. Verdict lines are byte-identical across the
payloads; guidance lines keep each payload's program-name convention.
Help text (list/fetch sections) mentions the new surface;
bin/punk-runtime.cmd rewrapped (checkfile clean, no spacer resize).
New fixture-server suite
shell/testsuites/binscripts/runtimecmd_freshness.test: a child-process
http file server (new src/tests/testsupport/httpfixture.tcl) serves a
crafted punkbin layout behind the PUNKBIN_URL override; the ps1 payload
runs as the staged committed .cmd via cmd.exe (wrap-pinned path), the
bash payload directly under a probed msys/git bash (on windows the
polyglot routes unix shells to the powershell payload; WSL bash
rejected - WSL2 cannot reach a 127.0.0.1 fixture server). Covers the
five G-119 acceptance scenarios with per-scenario ps1/bash verdict-line
parity plus bash-side extras (different-series incomparable, fetch-mode
BEHIND hint): 7/7 pass; scriptwrap + binscripts subtrees 32 pass /
1 pre-existing skip / 0 fail (roundtrip, checkfile, WSL, dtplite
unaffected).
bin/AGENTS.md runtime-manager contract records the verdict surface;
src/tests + src/tests/shell AGENTS docs cover the new suite and helper.

New src/tests/testsupport/consoleinject.ps1: the G-106 recipe's injection
half as a committed helper - FreeConsole/AttachConsole to a target pid's
console, open CONIN$, type lines as WriteConsoleInput key events.
tclshcmd.test: constraint punkconsole (windows + PUNK_TEST_CONSOLE=1; normal
runs skip) gates two tests driving the reopen path end-to-end in the child's
OWN hidden console (outer Start-Process -WindowStyle Hidden wrapper owns a
fresh console; wrapper runs '<kit> tclsh' there with std handles redirected

inputbuffer published empty, reopen notice silent by default and STDERR-only

Both payloads + rewrapped bin/punk-runtime.cmd (roundtrip pin green 9/0/1skip).
Embedded read WITHOUT executing the target: bash uses unzip's central-directory
read; ps1 uses .NET System.IO.Compression with a manual EOCD scan + prepend
offset fixup (.NET does not apply the self-extractor fixup - the pure-zip tail
is copied to a temp file and read there; delta 0 = plain zip also fine). The
cooperative probe (piping a reader into the EXECUTED target) is printed as the
documented fallback when no zip reader exists, execution caveat stated.
Report: field-by-field embedded/sidecar columns, !DISAGREE flags on shared-field
mismatches, file sha1 checked against the sidecar (!SHA1-MISMATCH), stray
renamed copies identified embedded-only, pre-v1 artifacts report sidecar-only

staging tripwire), and derives the sidecar's identity fields from it
(build_id/origin/packager/project/project_url/license/build_host_platform -
identical build_id by construction). Sidecar carries schema = 1, '#' comments
