+# Changelog
+
+## 2025-10-26 - 2.7.0 - feat(tapbundle_protocol)
+Add package export for tapbundle_protocol to expose protocol utilities
+
+- Add './tapbundle_protocol' export in package.json pointing to './dist_ts_tapbundle_protocol/index.js'.
+- Allows consumers to import protocol utilities (ProtocolEmitter, ProtocolParser, types) via '@git.zone/tstest/tapbundle_protocol'.
+- Non-breaking: only extends package exports surface.
+
+## 2025-10-17 - 2.6.2 - fix(@push.rocks/smartrequest)
+Bump @push.rocks/smartrequest from ^4.3.1 to ^4.3.2
+
+- Update dependency @push.rocks/smartrequest from ^4.3.1 to ^4.3.2
+
+## 2025-10-17 - 2.6.1 - fix(runtime-adapters)
+Silence shell version checks for Bun and Deno; add local Claude settings
+
+- Replace smartshell.exec with execSilent in ts/tstest.classes.runtime.bun.ts to suppress output when checking Bun availability
+- Replace smartshell.exec with execSilent in ts/tstest.classes.runtime.deno.ts to suppress output when checking Deno availability
+- Add .claude/settings.local.json to record local Claude agent permissions/config used for development
+
+## 2025-10-17 - 2.6.0 - feat(runtime-adapters)
+Add runtime environment availability check and logger output; normalize runtime version strings
+
+- Introduce checkEnvironment() in TsTest and invoke it at the start of run() to detect available runtimes before executing tests.
+- Add environmentCheck(availability) to TsTestLogger to print a human-friendly environment summary (with JSON and quiet-mode handling).
+- Normalize reported runtime version strings from adapters: prefix Deno and Bun versions with 'v' and simplify Chromium version text.
+- Display runtime availability information to the user before moving previous logs or running tests.
+- Includes addition of local .claude/settings.local.json (local dev/tooling settings).
+
+## 2025-10-17 - 2.5.2 - fix(runtime.node)
+Improve Node runtime adapter to use tsrun.spawnPath, strengthen tsrun detection, and improve process lifecycle and loader handling; update tsrun dependency.
+
+- Use tsrun.spawnPath to spawn Node test processes and pass structured spawn options (cwd, env, args, stdio).
+- Detect tsrun availability via plugins.tsrun and require spawnPath; provide a clearer error message when tsrun is missing or outdated.
+- Pass --web via spawn args and set TSTEST_FILTER_TAGS on the spawned process env instead of mutating the parent process.env.
+- When a 00init.ts exists, create a temporary loader that imports both 00init.ts and the test file, run the loader via tsrun.spawnPath, and clean up the loader after execution.
+- Use tsrunProcess.terminate()/kill for timeouts to ensure proper process termination and improve cleanup handling.
+- Export tsrun from ts/tstest.plugins.ts so runtime code can access tsrun APIs via the plugins object.
+- Bump dependency @git.zone/tsrun from ^1.3.4 to ^1.6.2 in package.json.
+
+## 2025-10-16 - 2.5.1 - fix(deps)

+- Add local settings configuration file for developer tooling
+
+## 2025-10-12 - 2.5.0 - feat(tstest.classes.runtime.parser)
+Add support for "all" runtime token and update docs/tests; regenerate lockfile and add local settings
+
+- Add support for the `all` runtime token (expands to node, chromium, deno, bun) in tstest filename parser (tstest.classes.runtime.parser)
+- Handle `all` with modifiers (e.g. `*.all.nonci.ts`) and mixed tokens (e.g. `node+all`) so it expands to the full runtime set
+- Add unit tests covering `all` cases in test/test.runtime.parser.node.ts
+- Update README (examples and tables) to document `.all.ts` and `.all.nonci.ts` usage and include a universal example
+- Update ts files' parser comments and constants to include ALL_RUNTIMES
+- Add deno.lock (dependency lockfile) and a local .claude/settings.local.json for project permissions / local settings
+
+## 2025-10-11 - 2.4.3 - fix(docs)
+Update documentation: expand README with multi-runtime architecture, add module READMEs, and add local dev settings
+
+- Expanded project README: fixed typos, clarified availability header, and added a detailed Multi-Runtime Architecture section (runtimes, naming conventions, migration tool, examples, and runtime-specific notes).
+- Inserted additional example output and adjusted JSON/example sections to reflect multi-runtime flows and updated totals/durations in examples.
+- Added dedicated README files for ts_tapbundle, ts_tapbundle_node, and ts_tapbundle_protocol modules with API overviews and usage guides.
+- Added .claude/settings.local.json to provide local development permissions/settings used by the project tooling.

+
+## 2025-10-10 - 2.4.2 - fix(deno)
+Enable additional Deno permissions for runtime adapters and add local dev settings
+
+- Add --allow-sys, --allow-import and --node-modules-dir to the default Deno permission set used by the Deno runtime adapter
+- Include the new permission flags in the fallback permissions array when constructing Deno command args
+- Add .claude/settings.local.json to capture local development permissions and helper commands
+
+## 2025-10-10 - 2.4.1 - fix(runtime/deno)
+Enable Deno runtime tests by adding required permissions and local settings
+
+- ts/tstest.classes.runtime.deno.ts: expanded default Deno permissions to include --allow-net, --allow-write and --sloppy-imports to allow network access, file writes and permissive JS/TS imports
+- ts/tstest.classes.runtime.deno.ts: updated fallback permissions used when building the Deno command to match the new default set
+- Added .claude/settings.local.json with a set of allowed local commands/permissions used for local development/CI tooling
+
+## 2025-10-10 - 2.4.0 - feat(runtime)
+Add runtime adapters, filename runtime parser and migration tool; integrate runtime selection into TsTest and add tests
+
+- Introduce RuntimeAdapter abstraction and RuntimeAdapterRegistry to manage multiple runtimes
+- Add runtime adapters: NodeRuntimeAdapter, ChromiumRuntimeAdapter, DenoRuntimeAdapter and BunRuntimeAdapter
+- Add filename runtime parser utilities: parseTestFilename, isLegacyFilename and getLegacyMigrationTarget
+- Add Migration class to detect and (dry-run) migrate legacy test filenames to the new naming convention
+- Integrate runtime registry into TsTest and choose execution adapters based on parsed runtimes; show deprecation warnings for legacy naming
+- Add tests covering runtime parsing and migration: test/test.runtime.parser.node.ts and test/test.migration.node.ts
+
+## 2025-09-12 - 2.3.8 - fix(tstest)
+Improve free port selection for Chrome runner and bump smartnetwork dependency
+
+- Use randomized port selection when finding free HTTP and WebSocket ports to reduce collision probability in concurrent runs
+- Ensure WebSocket port search excludes the chosen HTTP port so the two ports will not conflict
+- Simplify failure handling: throw early if a free WebSocket port cannot be found instead of retrying with a less robust fallback
+- Bump @push.rocks/smartnetwork dependency from ^4.2.0 to ^4.4.0 to pick up new findFreePort options
+
+## 2025-09-12 - 2.3.7 - fix(tests)
+Remove flaky dynamic-ports browser test and add local dev tool settings
+
+- Removed test/tapbundle/test.dynamicports.ts — deletes a browser test that relied on injected dynamic WebSocket ports (reduces flaky CI/browser runs).
+- Added .claude/settings.local.json — local development settings for the CLAUDE helper (grants allowed dev/automation commands and webfetch permissions).
+
+## 2025-09-03 - 2.3.6 - fix(tstest)

+- Fix test server static route in ts/tstest.classes.tstest.ts: replace '(.*)' with '/*splat' so bundled test files are served correctly in Chromium runs
+- Add .claude/settings.local.json with local permissions for development tasks
+- Add .serena/.gitignore to ignore /cache
+
+## 2025-08-18 - 2.3.5 - fix(core)
+Use SmartRequest with Buffer for binary downloads, tighten static route handling, bump dependencies and add workspace/config files
+
+- ts_tapbundle_node/classes.testfileprovider.ts: switch to SmartRequest.create().url(...).get() and convert response to a Buffer before writing to disk to fix binary download handling for the Docker Alpine image.
+- ts/tstest.classes.tstest.ts: change server.addRoute from '*' to '(.*)' so the typedserver static handler uses a proper regex route.
+- package.json: bump several dependencies (e.g. @api.global/typedserver, @git.zone/tsbuild, @push.rocks/smartfile, @push.rocks/smartpath, @push.rocks/smartrequest, @push.rocks/smartshell) to newer patch/minor versions.
+- pnpm-workspace.yaml: add onlyBuiltDependencies list (esbuild, mongodb-memory-server, puppeteer).
+- Remove registry setting from .npmrc (cleanup).
+- Add project/agent config files: .serena/project.yml and .claude/settings.local.json for local tooling/agent configuration.
+
+## 2025-08-16 - 2.3.4 - fix(ci)

+# Architecture Overview
+
+## Project Structure
+
+This project integrates tstest with tapbundle through a modular architecture:
+
+1. **tstest** (`/ts/`) - The test runner that discovers and executes test files
+2. **tapbundle** (`/ts_tapbundle/`) - The TAP testing framework for writing tests
+3. **tapbundle_node** (`/ts_tapbundle_node/`) - Node.js-specific testing utilities
+
+## How Components Work Together
+
+### Test Execution Flow
+
+1. **CLI Entry Point** (`cli.js` <20> `cli.ts.js` <20> `cli.child.ts`)
+   - The CLI uses tsx to run TypeScript files directly
+   - Accepts glob patterns to find test files
+   - Supports options like `--verbose`, `--quiet`, `--web`
+
+2. **Test Discovery**
+   - tstest scans for test files matching the provided pattern
+   - Defaults to `test/**/*.ts` when no pattern is specified
+   - Supports both file and directory modes
+
+3. **Test Runner**
+   - Each test file imports `tap` and `expect` from tapbundle
+   - Tests are written using `tap.test()` with async functions
+   - Browser tests are compiled with esbuild and run in Chromium via Puppeteer
+
+### Key Integration Points
+
+1. **Import Structure**
+   - Test files import from local tapbundle: `import { tap, expect } from '../../ts_tapbundle/index.js'`
+   - Node-specific tests also import from tapbundle_node: `import { tapNodeTools } from '../../ts_tapbundle_node/index.js'`
+
+2. **WebHelpers**
+   - Browser tests can use webhelpers for DOM manipulation
+   - `webhelpers.html` - Template literal for creating HTML strings
+   - `webhelpers.fixture` - Creates DOM elements from HTML strings
+   - Automatically detects browser environment and only enables in browser context
+
+3. **Build System**
+   - Uses `tsbuild tsfolders` to compile TypeScript (invoked by `pnpm build`)
+   - Maintains separate output directories: `/dist_ts/`, `/dist_ts_tapbundle/`, `/dist_ts_tapbundle_node/`, `/dist_ts_tapbundle_protocol/`
+   - Compilation order is resolved automatically based on dependencies in tspublish.json files
+   - Protocol imports use compiled dist directories:
+     ```typescript
+     // In ts/tstest.classes.tap.parser.ts
+     import { ProtocolParser } from '../dist_ts_tapbundle_protocol/index.js';
+     
+     // In ts_tapbundle/tapbundle.classes.tap.ts  
+     import { ProtocolEmitter } from '../dist_ts_tapbundle_protocol/index.js';
+     ```
+
+### Test Scripts
+
+The package.json defines several test scripts:
+- `test` - Builds and runs all tests (tapbundle and tstest)
+- `test:tapbundle` - Runs tapbundle framework tests
+- `test:tstest` - Runs tstest's own tests
+- Both support `:verbose` variants for detailed output
+
+### Environment Detection
+
+The framework automatically detects the runtime environment:
+- Node.js tests run directly via tsx
+- Browser tests are compiled and served via a local server
+- WebHelpers are only enabled in browser environment
+
+This architecture allows for seamless testing across both Node.js and browser environments while maintaining a clean separation of concerns.
+
+## Logging System
+
+### Log File Naming (Fixed in v1.9.1)
+
+When using the `--logfile` flag, tstest creates log files in `.nogit/testlogs/`. The log file naming was updated to preserve directory structure and prevent collisions:
+
+- **Old behavior**: `test/tapbundle/test.ts` → `.nogit/testlogs/test.log`
+- **New behavior**: `test/tapbundle/test.ts` → `.nogit/testlogs/test__tapbundle__test.log`
+
+This fix ensures that test files with the same basename in different directories don't overwrite each other's logs. The implementation:
+1. Takes the relative path from the current working directory
+2. Replaces path separators (`/`) with double underscores (`__`)
+3. Removes the `.ts` extension
+4. Creates a flat filename that preserves the directory structure
+
+### Test Timing Display (Fixed in v1.9.2)
+
+Fixed an issue where test timing was displayed incorrectly with duplicate values like:
+- Before: `✅ test name # time=133ms (0ms)`
+- After: `✅ test name (133ms)`
+
+The issue was in the TAP parser regex which was greedily capturing the entire line including the TAP timing comment. Changed the regex from `(.*)` to `(.*?)` to make it non-greedy, properly separating the test name from the timing metadata.
+
+## Protocol Limitations and Improvements
+
+### Current TAP Protocol Issues
+The current implementation uses standard TAP format with metadata in comments:
+```
+ok 1 - test name # time=123ms
+```
+
+This has several limitations:
+1. **Delimiter Conflict**: Test descriptions containing `#` can break parsing
+2. **Regex Fragility**: Complex regex patterns that are hard to maintain
+3. **Limited Metadata**: Difficult to add rich error information or custom data
+
+### Planned Protocol V2
+A new internal protocol is being designed that will:
+- Use Unicode delimiters `⟦TSTEST:⟧` that won't conflict with test content
+- Support structured JSON metadata
+- Allow rich error reporting with stack traces and diffs
+- Completely replace v1 protocol (no backwards compatibility)
+
+### ts_tapbundle_protocol Directory
+The protocol v2 implementation is contained in a separate `ts_tapbundle_protocol` directory:
+- **Isomorphic Code**: All protocol code works in both browser and Node.js environments
+- **No Platform Dependencies**: No Node.js-specific imports, ensuring true cross-platform compatibility
+- **Clean Separation**: Protocol logic is isolated from platform-specific code in tstest and tapbundle
+- **Shared Implementation**: Both tstest (parser) and tapbundle (emitter) use the same protocol classes
+- **Build Process**: 
+  - Compiled by `pnpm build` via tsbuild to `dist_ts_tapbundle_protocol/`
+  - Build order managed through tspublish.json files
+  - Other modules import from the compiled dist directory, not source
+
+This architectural decision ensures the protocol can be used in any JavaScript environment without modification and maintains proper build dependencies.
+
+See `readme.protocol.md` for the full specification and `ts_tapbundle_protocol/` for the implementation.
+
+## Protocol V2 Implementation Status
+
+The Protocol V2 has been implemented to fix issues with TAP protocol parsing when test descriptions contain special characters like `#`, `###SNAPSHOT###`, or protocol markers like `⟦TSTEST:ERROR⟧`.
+
+### Implementation Details:
+
+1. **Protocol Components**:
+   - `ProtocolEmitter` - Generates protocol v2 messages (used by tapbundle)
+   - `ProtocolParser` - Parses protocol v2 messages (used by tstest)
+   - Uses Unicode markers `⟦TSTEST:` and `⟧` to avoid conflicts with test content
+
+2. **Current Status**:
+   - ✅ Basic protocol emission and parsing works
+   - ✅ Handles test descriptions with special characters correctly
+   - ✅ Supports metadata for timing, tags, errors
+   - ⚠️ Protocol messages sometimes appear in console output (parsing not catching all cases)
+
+3. **Key Findings**:
+   - `tap.skip.test()` doesn't create actual test objects, just logs and increments counter
+   - `tap.todo()` method is not implemented (no `addTodo` method in Tap class)
+   - Protocol parser's `isBlockStart` was fixed to only match exact block markers, not partial matches in test descriptions
+
+4. **Import Paths**:
+   - tstest imports from: `import { ProtocolParser } from '../dist_ts_tapbundle_protocol/index.js';`
+   - tapbundle imports from: `import { ProtocolEmitter } from '../dist_ts_tapbundle_protocol/index.js';`
+
+## Test Configuration System (Phase 2)
+
+The Test Configuration System has been implemented to provide global settings and lifecycle hooks for tests.
+
+### Key Features:
+
+1. **00init.ts Discovery**:
+   - Automatically detects `00init.ts` files in the same directory as test files
+   - Creates a temporary loader file that imports both `00init.ts` and the test file
+   - Loader files are cleaned up automatically after test execution
+
+2. **Settings Inheritance**:
+   - Global settings from `00init.ts` → File-level settings → Test-level settings
+   - Settings include: timeout, retries, retryDelay, bail, concurrency
+   - Lifecycle hooks: beforeAll, afterAll, beforeEach, afterEach
+
+3. **Implementation Details**:
+   - `SettingsManager` class handles settings inheritance and merging
+   - `tap.settings()` API allows configuration at any level
+   - Lifecycle hooks are integrated into test execution flow
+
+### Important Development Notes:
+
+1. **Local Development**: When developing tstest itself, use `node cli.js` instead of globally installed `tstest` to test changes
+
+2. **Console Output Buffering**: Console output from tests is buffered and only displayed for failing tests. TAP-compliant comments (lines starting with `#`) are always shown.
+
+3. **TypeScript Warnings**: Fixed async/await warnings in `movePreviousLogFiles()` by using sync versions of file operations
+
+## Enhanced Communication Features (Phase 3)
+
+The Enhanced Communication system has been implemented to provide rich, real-time feedback during test execution.
+
+### Key Features:
+
+1. **Event-Based Test Lifecycle Reporting**:
+   - `test:queued` - Test is ready to run
+   - `test:started` - Test execution begins
+   - `test:completed` - Test finishes (with pass/fail status)
+   - `suite:started` - Test suite/describe block begins
+   - `suite:completed` - Test suite/describe block ends
+   - `hook:started` - Lifecycle hook (beforeEach/afterEach) begins
+   - `hook:completed` - Lifecycle hook finishes
+   - `assertion:failed` - Assertion failure with detailed information
+
+2. **Visual Diff Output for Assertion Failures**:
+   - **String Diffs**: Character-by-character comparison with colored output
+   - **Object/Array Diffs**: Deep property comparison showing added/removed/changed properties
+   - **Primitive Diffs**: Clear display of expected vs actual values
+   - **Colorized Output**: Green for expected, red for actual, yellow for differences
+   - **Smart Formatting**: Multi-line strings and complex objects are formatted for readability
+
+3. **Real-Time Test Progress API**:
+   - Tests emit progress events as they execute
+   - tstest parser processes events and updates display in real-time
+   - Structured event format carries rich metadata (timing, errors, diffs)
+   - Seamless integration with existing TAP protocol via Protocol V2
+
+### Implementation Details:
+- Events are transmitted via Protocol V2's `EVENT` block type
+- Event data is JSON-encoded within protocol markers
+- Parser handles events asynchronously for real-time updates
+- Visual diffs are generated using custom diff algorithms for each data type
+
+## Watch Mode (Phase 4)
+
+tstest now supports watch mode for automatic test re-runs on file changes.
+
+### Usage
+```bash
+tstest test/**/*.ts --watch
+tstest test/specific.ts -w
+```
+
+### Features
+- **Automatic Re-runs**: Tests re-run when any watched file changes
+- **Debouncing**: Multiple rapid changes are batched (300ms delay)
+- **Clear Output**: Console is cleared before each run for clean results
+- **Status Updates**: Shows which files triggered the re-run
+- **Graceful Exit**: Press Ctrl+C to stop watching
+
+### Options
+- `--watch` or `-w`: Enable watch mode
+- `--watch-ignore`: Comma-separated patterns to ignore (e.g., `--watch-ignore node_modules,dist`)
+
+### Implementation Details
+- Uses `@push.rocks/smartchok` for cross-platform file watching
+- Watches the entire project directory from where tests are run
+- Ignores changes matching the ignore patterns
+- Shows "Waiting for file changes..." between runs
+
+## Fixed Issues
+
+### tap.skip.test(), tap.todo(), and tap.only.test() (Fixed)
+
+Previously reported issues with these methods have been resolved:
+
+1. **tap.skip.test()** - Now properly creates test objects that are counted in test results
+   - Tests marked with `skip.test()` appear in the test count
+   - Shows as passed with skip directive in TAP output
+   - `markAsSkipped()` method added to handle pre-test skip marking
+
+2. **tap.todo.test()** - Fully implemented with test object creation
+   - Supports both `tap.todo.test('description')` and `tap.todo.test('description', testFunc)`
+   - Todo tests are counted and marked with todo directive
+   - Both regular and parallel todo tests supported
+
+3. **tap.only.test()** - Works correctly for focused testing
+   - When `.only` tests exist, only those tests run
+   - Other tests are not executed but still counted
+   - Both regular and parallel only tests supported
+
+These fixes ensure accurate test counts and proper TAP-compliant output for all test states.
+
+## Test Timing Implementation
+
+### Timing Architecture
+
+Test timing is captured using `@push.rocks/smarttime`'s `HrtMeasurement` class, which provides high-resolution timing:
+
+1. **Timing Capture**:
+   - Each `TapTest` instance has its own `HrtMeasurement`
+   - Timer starts immediately before test function execution
+   - Timer stops after test completes (or fails/times out)
+   - Millisecond precision is used for reporting
+
+2. **Protocol Integration**:
+   - Timing is embedded in TAP output using Protocol V2 markers
+   - Inline format for simple timing: `ok 1 - test name ⟦TSTEST:time:123⟧`
+   - Block format for complex metadata: `⟦TSTEST:META:{"time":456,"file":"test.ts"}⟧`
+
+3. **Performance Metrics Calculation**:
+   - Average is calculated from sum of individual test times, not total runtime
+   - Slowest test detection prefers tests with >0ms duration
+   - Failed tests still contribute their execution time to metrics
+
+### Edge Cases and Considerations
+
+1. **Sub-millisecond Tests**:
+   - Very fast tests may report 0ms due to millisecond rounding
+   - Performance metrics handle this by showing "All tests completed in <1ms" when appropriate
+
+2. **Special Test States**:
+   - **Skipped tests**: Report 0ms (not executed)
+   - **Todo tests**: Report 0ms (not executed)
+   - **Failed tests**: Report actual execution time before failure
+   - **Timeout tests**: Report time until timeout occurred
+
+3. **Parallel Test Timing**:
+   - Each parallel test tracks its own execution time independently
+   - Parallel tests may have overlapping execution periods
+   - Total suite time reflects wall-clock time, not sum of test times
+
+4. **Hook Timing**:
+   - `beforeEach`/`afterEach` hooks are not included in individual test times
+   - Only the actual test function execution is measured
+
+5. **Retry Timing**:
+   - When tests retry, only the final attempt's duration is reported
+   - Each retry attempt emits separate `test:started` events
+
+### Parser Fix for Timing Metadata
+
+The protocol parser was fixed to correctly handle inline timing metadata:
+- Changed condition from `!simpleMatch[1].includes(':')` to check for simple key:value pairs
+- Excludes prefixed formats (META:, SKIP:, TODO:, EVENT:) while parsing simple formats like `time:250`
+
+This ensures timing metadata is correctly extracted and displayed in test results.

+# Improvement Plan for tstest and tapbundle
+
+!! FIRST: Reread /home/philkunz/.claude/CLAUDE.md to ensure following all guidelines !!
+
+## Improved Internal Protocol (NEW - Critical) ✅ COMPLETED
+
+### Current Issues ✅ RESOLVED
+- ✅ TAP protocol uses `#` for metadata which conflicts with test descriptions containing `#`
+- ✅ Fragile regex parsing that breaks with special characters
+- ✅ Limited extensibility for new metadata types
+
+### Proposed Solution: Protocol V2 ✅ IMPLEMENTED
+- ✅ Use Unicode delimiters `⟦TSTEST:META:{}⟧` that won't appear in test names
+- ✅ Structured JSON metadata format
+- ✅ Separate protocol blocks for complex data (errors, snapshots)
+- ✅ Complete replacement of v1 (no backwards compatibility needed)
+
+### Implementation ✅ COMPLETED
+- ✅ Phase 1: Create protocol v2 implementation in ts_tapbundle_protocol
+- ✅ Phase 2: Replace all v1 code in both tstest and tapbundle with v2
+- ✅ Phase 3: Delete all v1 parsing and generation code
+
+#### ts_tapbundle_protocol Directory
+The protocol v2 implementation will be contained in the `ts_tapbundle_protocol` directory as isomorphic TypeScript code:
+- **Isomorphic Design**: All code must work in both browser and Node.js environments
+- **No Node.js Imports**: No Node.js-specific modules allowed (no fs, path, child_process, etc.)
+- **Protocol Classes**: Contains classes implementing all sides of the protocol:
+  - ✅ `ProtocolEmitter`: For generating protocol v2 messages (used by tapbundle)
+  - ✅ `ProtocolParser`: For parsing protocol v2 messages (used by tstest)
+  - ✅ `ProtocolMessage`: Base classes for different message types
+  - ✅ `ProtocolTypes`: TypeScript interfaces and types for protocol structures
+- **Pure TypeScript**: Only browser-compatible APIs and pure TypeScript/JavaScript code
+- **Build Integration**: 
+  - Compiled by `pnpm build` (via tsbuild) to `dist_ts_tapbundle_protocol/`
+  - Build order defined in tspublish.json files
+  - Imported by ts and ts_tapbundle modules from the compiled dist directory
+
+See `readme.protocol.md` for detailed specification.
+
+## Test Configuration System (NEW)
+
+### Global Test Configuration via 00init.ts
+- **Discovery**: Check for `test/00init.ts` before running tests
+- **Execution**: Import and execute before any test files if found
+- **Purpose**: Define project-wide default test settings
+
+### tap.settings() API
+```typescript
+interface TapSettings {
+  // Timing
+  timeout?: number;              // Default timeout for all tests (ms)
+  slowThreshold?: number;        // Mark tests as slow if they exceed this (ms)
+  
+  // Execution Control
+  bail?: boolean;                // Stop on first test failure
+  retries?: number;              // Number of retries for failed tests
+  retryDelay?: number;           // Delay between retries (ms)
+  
+  // Output Control
+  suppressConsole?: boolean;     // Suppress console output in passing tests
+  verboseErrors?: boolean;       // Show full stack traces
+  showTestDuration?: boolean;    // Show duration for each test
+  
+  // Parallel Execution
+  maxConcurrency?: number;       // Max parallel tests (for .para files)
+  isolateTests?: boolean;        // Run each test in fresh context
+  
+  // Lifecycle Hooks
+  beforeAll?: () => Promise<void> | void;
+  afterAll?: () => Promise<void> | void;
+  beforeEach?: (testName: string) => Promise<void> | void;
+  afterEach?: (testName: string, passed: boolean) => Promise<void> | void;
+  
+  // Environment
+  env?: Record<string, string>;  // Additional environment variables
+  
+  // Features
+  enableSnapshots?: boolean;     // Enable snapshot testing
+  snapshotDirectory?: string;    // Custom snapshot directory
+  updateSnapshots?: boolean;     // Update snapshots instead of comparing
+}
+```
+

+# Improved Internal Protocol Design
+
+## Current Issues with TAP Protocol
+
+1. **Delimiter Conflict**: Using `#` for metadata conflicts with test descriptions containing `#`
+2. **Ambiguous Parsing**: No clear boundary between test name and metadata
+3. **Limited Extensibility**: Adding new metadata requires regex changes
+4. **Mixed Concerns**: Protocol data mixed with human-readable output
+
+## Proposed Internal Protocol v2
+
+### Design Principles
+
+1. **Clear Separation**: Protocol data must be unambiguously separated from user content
+2. **Extensibility**: Easy to add new metadata without breaking parsers
+3. **Backwards Compatible**: Can coexist with standard TAP for gradual migration
+4. **Machine Readable**: Structured format for reliable parsing
+5. **Human Friendly**: Still readable in raw form
+
+### Protocol Options
+
+#### Option 1: Special Delimiters
+```
+ok 1 - test description ::TSTEST:: {"time":123,"retry":0}
+not ok 2 - another test ::TSTEST:: {"time":45,"error":"timeout"}
+ok 3 - skipped test ::TSTEST:: {"time":0,"skip":"not ready"}
+```
+
+**Pros**: 
+- Simple to implement
+- Backwards compatible with TAP parsers (they ignore the suffix)
+- Easy to parse with split()
+
+**Cons**: 
+- Still could conflict if test name contains `::TSTEST::`
+- Not standard TAP
+
+#### Option 2: Separate Metadata Lines
+```
+ok 1 - test description
+::METADATA:: {"test":1,"time":123,"retry":0}
+not ok 2 - another test  
+::METADATA:: {"test":2,"time":45,"error":"timeout"}
+```
+
+**Pros**:
+- Complete separation of concerns
+- No chance of conflicts
+- Can include arbitrary metadata
+
+**Cons**:
+- Requires correlation between lines
+- More complex parsing
+
+#### Option 3: YAML Blocks (TAP 13 Compatible)
+```
+ok 1 - test description
+  ---
+  time: 123
+  retry: 0
+  ...
+not ok 2 - another test
+  ---
+  time: 45
+  error: timeout
+  stack: |
+    Error: timeout
+      at Test.run (test.js:10:5)
+  ...
+```
+
+**Pros**:
+- Standard TAP 13 feature
+- Structured data format
+- Human readable
+- Extensible
+
+**Cons**:
+- More verbose
+- YAML parsing overhead
+
+#### Option 4: Binary Protocol Markers (Recommended)
+```
+ok 1 - test description
+␛[TSTEST:eyJ0aW1lIjoxMjMsInJldHJ5IjowfQ==]␛
+not ok 2 - another test
+␛[TSTEST:eyJ0aW1lIjo0NSwiZXJyb3IiOiJ0aW1lb3V0In0=]␛
+```
+
+Using ASCII escape character (␛ = \x1B) with base64 encoded JSON.
+
+**Pros**:
+- Zero chance of accidental conflicts
+- Compact
+- Fast to parse
+- Invisible in most terminals
+
+**Cons**:
+- Not human readable in raw form
+- Requires base64 encoding/decoding
+
+### Recommended Implementation: Hybrid Approach
+
+Use multiple strategies based on context:
+
+1. **For timing and basic metadata**: Use structured delimiters
+   ```
+   ok 1 - test name ⟦time:123,retry:0⟧
+   ```
+
+2. **For complex data (errors, snapshots)**: Use separate protocol lines
+   ```
+   ok 1 - test failed
+   ⟦TSTEST:ERROR⟧
+   {"message":"Assertion failed","stack":"...","diff":"..."}
+   ⟦/TSTEST:ERROR⟧
+   ```
+
+3. **For human-readable output**: Keep standard TAP comments
+   ```
+   # Test suite: User Authentication
+   ok 1 - should login
+   ```
+
+### Implementation Plan
+
+#### Phase 1: Parser Enhancement
+1. Add new protocol parser alongside existing TAP parser
+2. Support both old and new formats during transition
+3. Add protocol version negotiation
+
+#### Phase 2: Metadata Structure
+```typescript
+interface TestMetadata {
+  // Timing
+  time: number;           // milliseconds
+  startTime?: number;     // Unix timestamp
+  endTime?: number;       // Unix timestamp
+  
+  // Status
+  skip?: string;          // skip reason
+  todo?: string;          // todo reason
+  retry?: number;         // retry attempt
+  maxRetries?: number;    // max retries allowed
+  
+  // Error details
+  error?: {
+    message: string;
+    stack?: string;
+    diff?: string;
+    actual?: any;
+    expected?: any;
+  };
+  
+  // Test context
+  file?: string;          // source file
+  line?: number;          // line number
+  column?: number;        // column number
+  
+  // Custom data
+  tags?: string[];        // test tags
+  custom?: Record<string, any>;
+}
+```
+
+#### Phase 3: Protocol Messages
+
+##### Success Message
+```
+ok 1 - user authentication works
+⟦TSTEST:META:{"time":123,"tags":["auth","unit"]}⟧
+```
+
+##### Failure Message
+```
+not ok 2 - login fails with invalid password
+⟦TSTEST:META:{"time":45,"retry":1,"maxRetries":3}⟧
+⟦TSTEST:ERROR⟧
+{
+  "message": "Expected 401 but got 500",
+  "stack": "Error: Expected 401 but got 500\n    at Test.run (auth.test.ts:25:10)",
+  "actual": 500,
+  "expected": 401
+}
+⟦/TSTEST:ERROR⟧
+```
+
+##### Skip Message
+```
+ok 3 - database integration test ⟦TSTEST:SKIP:No database connection⟧
+```
+
+##### Snapshot Communication
+```
+⟦TSTEST:SNAPSHOT:user-profile⟧
+{
+  "name": "John Doe",
+  "email": "john@example.com",
+  "roles": ["user", "admin"]
+}
+⟦/TSTEST:SNAPSHOT⟧
+```
+
+### Migration Strategy
+
+1. **Version Detection**: First line indicates protocol version
+   ```
+   ⟦TSTEST:PROTOCOL:2.0⟧
+   TAP version 13
+   ```
+
+2. **Gradual Rollout**:
+   - v1.10: Add protocol v2 parser, keep v1 generator
+   - v1.11: Generate v2 by default, v1 with --legacy flag  
+   - v2.0: Remove v1 support
+
+3. **Feature Flags**:
+   ```typescript
+   tap.settings({
+     protocol: 'v2',        // or 'v1', 'auto'
+     protocolFeatures: {
+       structuredErrors: true,
+       enhancedTiming: true,
+       binaryMarkers: false
+     }
+   });
+   ```
+
+### Benefits of New Protocol
+
+1. **Reliability**: No more regex fragility or description conflicts
+2. **Performance**: Faster parsing with clear boundaries
+3. **Extensibility**: Easy to add new metadata fields
+4. **Debugging**: Rich error information with stack traces and diffs
+5. **Integration**: Better IDE and CI/CD tool integration
+6. **Forward Compatible**: Room for future enhancements
+
+### Example Parser Implementation
+
+```typescript
+class ProtocolV2Parser {
+  private readonly MARKER_START = '⟦TSTEST:';
+  private readonly MARKER_END = '⟧';
+  
+  parseMetadata(line: string): TestMetadata | null {
+    const start = line.lastIndexOf(this.MARKER_START);
+    if (start === -1) return null;
+    
+    const end = line.indexOf(this.MARKER_END, start);
+    if (end === -1) return null;
+    
+    const content = line.substring(start + this.MARKER_START.length, end);
+    const [type, data] = content.split(':', 2);
+    
+    switch (type) {
+      case 'META':
+        return JSON.parse(data);
+      case 'SKIP':
+        return { skip: data };
+      case 'TODO':
+        return { todo: data };
+      default:
+        return null;
+    }
+  }
+  
+  parseTestLine(line: string): ParsedTest {
+    // First extract any metadata
+    const metadata = this.parseMetadata(line);
+    
+    // Then parse the TAP part (without metadata)
+    const cleanLine = this.removeMetadata(line);
+    const tapResult = this.parseTAP(cleanLine);
+    
+    return { ...tapResult, metadata };
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Next Steps
+
+1. Implement proof of concept with basic metadata support
+2. Test with real-world test suites for edge cases
+3. Benchmark parsing performance
+4. Get feedback from users
+5. Finalize protocol specification
+6. Implement in both tapbundle and tstest

+
+## Basic Usage
+
+### Simple Test File
+
+```typescript
+import { tap, expect } from '@git.zone/tstest/tapbundle';
+
+tap.test('should add numbers correctly', async () => {
+  const result = 2 + 2;
+  expect(result).toEqual(4);
+});
+
+export default tap.start();
+```
+
+### Using Test Suites
+
+```typescript
+import { tap, expect } from '@git.zone/tstest/tapbundle';
+
+tap.describe('Calculator', () => {
+  tap.beforeEach(async (tapTools) => {
+    // Setup before each test in this suite
+  });
+
+  tap.test('should add', async () => {
+    expect(2 + 2).toEqual(4);
+  });
+
+  tap.test('should subtract', async () => {
+    expect(5 - 3).toEqual(2);
+  });
+
+  tap.afterEach(async (tapTools) => {
+    // Cleanup after each test in this suite
+  });
+});
+
+export default tap.start();
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+### Main Test Methods
+
+#### `tap.test(description, testFunction)`
+
+Define a standard test that runs sequentially.
+
+```typescript
+tap.test('should validate user input', async () => {
+  // test code
+});
+```
+
+#### `tap.testParallel(description, testFunction)`
+
+Define a test that runs in parallel with other parallel tests.
+
+```typescript
+tap.testParallel('should fetch user data', async () => {
+  // test code
+});
+```
+
+#### `tap.describe(description, suiteFunction)`
+
+Create a test suite to group related tests.
+
+```typescript
+tap.describe('User Authentication', () => {
+  tap.test('should login', async () => { });
+  tap.test('should logout', async () => { });
+});
+```
+
+### Test Modes
+
+#### Skip Tests
+
+```typescript
+tap.skip.test('not ready yet', async () => {
+  // This test will be skipped
+});
+```
+
+#### Only Mode
+
+```typescript
+tap.only.test('focus on this test', async () => {
+  // Only tests marked with 'only' will run
+});
+```
+
+#### Todo Tests
+
+```typescript
+tap.todo.test('implement feature X');
+```
+
+### Fluent Test Builder
+
+Chain test configurations for expressive test definitions:
+
+```typescript
+tap
+  .tags('integration', 'database')
+  .priority('high')
+  .retry(3)
+  .timeout(5000)
+  .test('should handle database connection', async () => {
+    // test with configured settings
+  });
+```
+
+### Lifecycle Hooks
+
+#### Suite-Level Hooks
+
+```typescript
+tap.describe('Database Tests', () => {
+  tap.beforeEach(async (tapTools) => {
+    // Runs before each test in this suite
+  });
+
+  tap.afterEach(async (tapTools) => {
+    // Runs after each test in this suite
+  });
+
+  tap.test('test 1', async () => { });
+  tap.test('test 2', async () => { });
+});
+```
+
+#### Global Hooks
+
+```typescript
+tap.settings({
+  beforeAll: async () => {
+    // Runs once before all tests
+  },
+  afterAll: async () => {
+    // Runs once after all tests
+  },
+  beforeEach: async (testName) => {
+    // Runs before every test
+  },
+  afterEach: async (testName, passed) => {
+    // Runs after every test
+  }
+});
+```
+
+### Global Settings
+
+Configure test behavior at the file level:
+
+```typescript
+tap.settings({
+  timeout: 10000,              // Default timeout for all tests
+  retries: 2,                  // Retry failed tests
+  retryDelay: 1000,            // Delay between retries
+  bail: false,                 // Stop on first failure
+  suppressConsole: false,      // Hide console output
+  verboseErrors: true,         // Show full stack traces
+  showTestDuration: true,      // Display test durations
+  maxConcurrency: 4,           // Max parallel tests
+});
+```
+
+### Enhanced Assertions
+
+The `expect` function is an enhanced wrapper around [@push.rocks/smartexpect](https://code.foss.global/push.rocks/smartexpect) that automatically generates diffs for failed assertions.
+
+```typescript
+import { expect } from '@git.zone/tstest/tapbundle';
+
+tap.test('should compare objects', async () => {
+  const actual = { name: 'John', age: 30 };
+  const expected = { name: 'John', age: 31 };
+
+  // Will show a detailed diff of the differences
+  expect(actual).toEqual(expected);
+});
+```
+
+#### Available Assertions
+
+```typescript
+// Equality
+expect(value).toEqual(expected);
+expect(value).toBe(expected);
+
+// Truthiness
+expect(value).toBeTruthy();
+expect(value).toBeFalsy();
+
+// Type checks
+expect(value).toBeType('string');
+
+// Strings
+expect(string).toMatch(/pattern/);
+expect(string).toContain('substring');
+
+// Arrays
+expect(array).toContain(item);
+
+// Exceptions
+expect(fn).toThrow();
+expect(fn).toThrow('error message');
+
+// Async
+await expect(promise).toResolve();
+await expect(promise).toReject();
+```
+
+### Test Tagging and Filtering
+
+Tag tests for selective execution:
+
+```typescript
+// Define tests with tags
+tap.tags('integration', 'slow').test('complex test', async () => {
+  // test code
+});
+
+tap.tags('unit').test('fast test', async () => {
+  // test code
+});
+```
+
+Filter tests by setting the environment variable:
+
+```bash
+TSTEST_FILTER_TAGS=unit tstest test/mytest.node.ts
+```
+
+### TapTools
+
+Each test receives a `tapTools` instance with utilities:
+
+```typescript
+tap.test('should have utilities', async (tapTools) => {
+  // Mark test as skipped
+  tapTools.markAsSkipped('reason');
+
+  // Mark as todo
+  tapTools.todo('not implemented');
+
+  // Configure retries
+  tapTools.retry(3);
+
+  // Log test output
+  tapTools.log('debug message');
+});
+```
+
+## Advanced Features
+
+### Pre-Tasks
+
+Run setup tasks before any tests execute:
+
+```typescript
+tap.preTask('setup database', async () => {
+  // Runs before any tests
+});
+
+tap.test('first test', async () => {
+  // Database is ready
+});
+```
+
+### Test Priority
+
+Organize tests by priority level:
+
+```typescript
+tap.priority('high').test('critical test', async () => { });
+tap.priority('medium').test('normal test', async () => { });
+tap.priority('low').test('optional test', async () => { });
+```
+
+### Nested Suites
+
+Create deeply nested test organization:
+
+```typescript
+tap.describe('API', () => {
+  tap.describe('Users', () => {
+    tap.describe('GET /users', () => {
+      tap.test('should return all users', async () => { });
+    });
+  });
+});
+```
+
+### Protocol Events
+
+Access real-time test events for custom tooling:
+
+```typescript
+import { setProtocolEmitter } from '@git.zone/tstest/tapbundle';
+
+// Get access to protocol emitter for custom event handling
+// Events: test:started, test:completed, assertion:failed, suite:started, suite:completed
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Always export `tap.start()`** at the end of test files:
+   ```typescript
+   export default tap.start();
+   ```
+
+2. **Use descriptive test names** that explain what is being tested:
+   ```typescript
+   tap.test('should return 404 when user does not exist', async () => { });
+   ```
+
+3. **Group related tests** with `describe()` blocks:
+   ```typescript
+   tap.describe('User validation', () => {
+     // All user validation tests
+   });
+   ```
+
+4. **Leverage lifecycle hooks** to reduce duplication:
+   ```typescript
+   tap.beforeEach(async () => {
+     // Common setup
+   });
+   ```
+
+5. **Tag tests appropriately** for flexible test execution:
+   ```typescript
+   tap.tags('integration', 'database').test('...', async () => { });
+   ```
+
+## TypeScript Support
+
+tapbundle is written in TypeScript and provides full type definitions. The `Tap` class accepts a generic type for shared context:
+
+```typescript
+interface MyTestContext {
+  db: DatabaseConnection;
+  user: User;
+}
+
+const tap = new Tap<MyTestContext>();
+
+tap.test('should use context', async (tapTools) => {
+  // tapTools is typed with MyTestContext
+});
+```
