The full punk8win/punk9win_for_tkruntime payloads shipped x64-only binary
packages into the 32-bit kits (user-observed): a higher-versioned x64 Thread
2.8.12 shadowed the LUCK runtime's working 32-bit 2.8.5 on plain package
require and broke the repl (tsv machinery), and x64-only dlls (tcludp etc)
failed with "couldn't load from current filesystem". Measured: forcing
-exact Thread 2.8.5 loaded fine, proving the backport's zipfs dll loading
works and the failure was purely wrong-arch version shadowing.
New minimal payloads: both startup fauxlinks (root main.tcl + the undroidwish
app/main.tcl hook) plus directory fauxlinks to MULTI-ARCH packages only -
those carrying a win32-ix86 platform subdir: iocp-2.0.2 (both majors, from
punk8win.vfs / punk9magicsplat.vfs) and twapi-5.0b1 (tcl8, from punk86.vfs).
No binary duplication in VCS (G-004); the pure-tcl module/lib set arrives via
the dll-free _vfscommon.vfs overlay.
Verified: both kits boot, resolve punk::args from _vfscommon, load Thread
(2.8.5 own-arch on LUCK / 3.0.5 static on sfe), iocp 2.0.2 (ix86 dll), twapi
(4.7.2 stable beats the linked 5.0b1 beta under prefer-stable on LUCK; 5.2.0
static on sfe), udp 1.0.11 on LUCK (own archive copy, no longer shadowed);
piped shell sessions evaluate cleanly on both with zero tsv-unavailable
noise. Remaining specimen quirk (out of payload scope): punkluck86 segfaults
at process exit AFTER a completed shell session (exit 139) - repl-teardown x
2019-era runtime interaction; the tclsh subcommand exits 0 with all four
packages loaded. punkexe subtree 69 tests 0 fail.
