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.

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. Root AGENTS.md
scriptlib/developer ownership note widened to cover developer utilities.

- 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

Five user-approved proposed goals with detail files, grounded in the 2026-07-10
characterization work (GAP pins in usagemarking.test/cmdhelp.test map to these):
- G-049 punk::args parse-status data model with machine-parsable cmdhelp returns:
documented per-argument status structure consumed by both arg_error renderers,
cmdhelp -return dict; fixes badarg coverage (type/allocation failures), scheme
honoured on failure path, caller attribution, and the stateful shared
colour-array scheme handling (nocolour fallthrough + dash-spelling leak).
- G-050 synopsis argument-validity marking and status-aware returns: 's' gains the
goodarg/badarg marking via the G-049 structure; replaces the curried-alias
excess-args length arithmetic with a parse against the resolved definition.
- G-051 cmdinfo truthful cmdtype for doc-only pseudo-commands + space-form docid
prefix parity via the shared choiceword_match resolver ('i string is tr').
- G-052 TclOO method-level autodef: undocumented methods get an (autodef) from the
introspected parameter list instead of the class-summary-only fallback.
- G-053 punk::args range-valued -multiple: {min max} occurrence ranges alongside
the legacy booleans, expressing "at most once, repeat is an error" without a
separate duplicates flag (mirrors the -choicemultiple precedent; motivated by
the runtests -include-paths last-wins incident).
