G-071 flipped proposed -> active (user direction 2026-07-12).
New allocation.test (7 tests) with reduced fixtures isolating the failing
shape from the tclcore moduledoc: the lseq-range shape (start ?sep? end
?by-step clause?) reproduces the moduledoc failures exactly. Current
mis-allocation pinned as GAP tests ("1 2 3" -> invalid blaming sep,
"1 2 by 3" -> incomplete blaming end, "1 2 3 4" correctly invalid but
misblaming sep), noise-word variants and the if-shape noise-word clauses
pinned as regression guards, parse_status -form absence pinned as GAP.
Also silenced four more unconditional debug puts on get_dict allocation
retreat paths ((111)/(222)/(333)/(444)) - these printed to stderr during
NORMAL successful parses at every optional-skip retreat, polluting
interactive help/parse output for noise-word-modelled commands. Behaviour
unchanged; the retreat logic they marked is exactly this goal fix target.
Full punk::args suite 193 pass / 1 pre-existing skip / 0 fail (tclsh
9.0.3).
