contents This article presents a curated resource and evaluation suite for punctuation-aware treebank binarization. Standard binarization pipelines drop punctuation before head selection, which alters constituent shape and harms head-child identification. We release (1) a reproducible pipeline that preserves punctuation as sibling nodes prior to binarization, (2) derived artifacts and metadata (intermediate @X markers, reversibility signatures, alignment indices), and (3) an accompanying evaluation suite covering head-child prediction, round-trip reversibility, and structural compatibility with derivational resources (CCGbank). On the Penn Treebank, punctuation-aware preprocessing improves head prediction accuracy from 73.66\% (Collins rules) and 86.66\% (MLP) to 91.85\% with the same classifier, and achieves competitive alignment against CCGbank derivations. All code, configuration files, and documentation are released to enable replication and extension to other corpora.
