Context

This delivery ticket was created from research issue #384 ([Guix packaging] Gruesome).

The host-validated research finding follows:

Canonical upstream is the author's official Games of Grey archive directory, http://www.gamesofgrey.com/games/gruesome/; its latest release is gruesome0.0.3.zip (version 0.0.3, SHA-256 2fd4eed45954a6a3893aa39958871ef9c3a9d23ad87b98dab014c13dfb1388f). No canonical VCS repository, newer release, or same-upstream package/audit entry was found in this channel. The fixed archive contains source.pas, readme.txt, history.txt, license.txt, and a prebuilt Windows .exe; package only source.pas and documentation and never install the opaque .exe. license.txt is the complete GNU GPL Version 3, and source.pas identifies Darren Grey and the same license. There are no fonts, tiles, sounds, maps, submodules, registries, network/updater code, save files, or runtime downloads; focused source inspection finds only the standard Free Pascal crt unit and console I/O. Delivery: create tay/packages/gruesome.scm with gnu-build-system, no configure/check phases, native input fpc, and build source.pas with fpc -O2 -g-; install the real executable and upstream notices under share/doc/gruesome. Add a bash/expect launcher: normal invocation execs the real binary, while --smoke starts it in a PTY, supplies a deterministic name, begins the game, sends one '.' turn, then Q and the final acknowledgement key, verifies clean exit, and prints GRUESOME-SMOKE: gameplay-turn-ok. The wrapper's expect runtime input must be retained. Later acceptance must run upstream's compile-only check (no upstream test suite), guix lint, offline no-grafts build/check, and a fresh HOME/XDG smoke through bounded validation with no writable store paths, asserting that marker and the screenshot at .goocastle/evidence/issue-384.png; inspect the installed GPL notice and prove no archive .exe or store writes are present. Research did not claim a build because the host Guix daemon is intentionally unavailable.

Acceptance criteria

Implement the viable package change identified in the host-validated research finding.
Preserve Guix source provenance, licensing, and deterministic build requirements recorded in the finding.
Add and pass a package-specific safe smoke proof using isolated HOME/XDG state before closure.

Goocastle blocked this ticket after the bounded repair budget was exhausted for the required command gate.
The failure receipt and task branch provenance remain preserved; inspect the branch and repair the failing gate before retrying.

Bounded failure evidence:
Failed command: node /opt/goocastle/bin/guix-package-proof.mjs '--package-name' gruesome '--module-path' tay/packages/gruesome.scm '--runtime-json' '{"executable":"gruesome","invocation":{"file":"gruesome","args":["--smoke"]},"successMarker":"GRUESOME-SMOKE: gameplay-turn-ok"}'
Exit status: 1
Final failure lines:
[stderr] Cannot start runtime evidence phase "safe-package-proof": task worktree contains uncommitted changes after agent phase "edge-case-audit"; scheduling bounded implementation/audit repair before retrying
