 # Changelog
 
+## 2026-01-25 - 3.1.8 - fix(tapbundle)
+treat tests that call tools.allowFailure() as passing and update tests to use tools parameter
+
+- Set testResult.ok to this.failureAllowed so allowed failures are considered passing in the tap test runner implementation (ts_tapbundle/tapbundle.classes.taptest.ts).
+- Updated multiple tests to accept the tools parameter and call tools.allowFailure() where failures are intended (test/tapbundle/test.performance-metrics.ts, test/tstest/test.fail.ts, test/tstest/test.failing-with-logs.ts).
+- Prevents intentionally-failing tests from skewing timing/metric calculations and preserves console logs for allowed failures.
+
 ## 2026-01-25 - 3.1.7 - fix(tap-parser)
 append newline to WebSocket tap log messages to ensure proper line-by-line processing
