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.
punkshell 0.21.0 + CHANGELOG entry.
