+# Changelog
+
+## 2025-05-15 - 1.2.0 - feat(logging)
+Improve logging output, CLI option parsing, and test report formatting.
+
+- Added a centralized TsTestLogger with support for multiple verbosity levels, JSON output, and file logging (TODO).
+- Integrated new logger into CLI parsing, TapParser, TapCombinator, and TsTest classes to ensure consistent and structured output.
+- Introduced new CLI options (--quiet, --verbose, --no-color, --json, --log-file) for enhanced user control.

+# Plan for improving logging and output in tstest
+
+!! FIRST: Reread /home/philkunz/.claude/CLAUDE.md to ensure following all guidelines !!
+
+## Goal - ✅ MOSTLY COMPLETED
+- ✅ Make test output cleaner and more visually appealing
+- ✅ Add structured logging capabilities
+- ✅ Support different verbosity levels
+- ✅ Improve CI/CD compatibility
+- ✅ Add progress indicators and timing summaries
+
+## Current State - UPDATED
+- ✅ Clean, modern visual design with Unicode characters
+- ✅ Structured output format (JSON support)
+- ✅ Multiple verbosity levels (quiet, normal, verbose)
+- ✅ Real-time output with cleaner formatting
+- ✅ Better error aggregation and display
+- ✅ TAP protocol support integrated with new logger
+
+## Completed Improvements
+
+### 1. ✅ Created new TsTestLogger class
+- ✅ Centralized logging with consistent formatting
+- ✅ Support for different output modes (normal, quiet, verbose)
+- ✅ Better visual hierarchy with modern Unicode characters
+- ✅ Progress indicators for multiple test files
+- ✅ Structured error collection and display
+
+### 2. ✅ Updated visual design
+- ✅ Replaced heavy separators with cleaner alternatives
+- ✅ Used better emoji and Unicode characters
+- ✅ Added indentation for hierarchical display
+- ✅ Grouped related information visually
+- ✅ Added color coding consistently
+
+### 3. ✅ Added command-line options
+- ✅ `--quiet` for minimal CI-friendly output
+- ✅ `--verbose` for detailed debugging information
+- ✅ `--no-color` for environments without color support
+- ✅ `--json` for structured JSON output
+- ⏳ `--log-file <path>` for persistent logging (TODO)
+
+### 4. ✅ Improved progress feedback
+- ⏳ Show progress bar for multiple files (TODO)
+- ✅ Display current file being executed
+- ✅ Show real-time test counts
+- ⏳ Add ETA for long test suites (TODO)
+
+### 5. ✅ Better error and summary display
+- ✅ Collect all errors and display at end
+- ✅ Show timing metrics and performance summary (in verbose mode)
+- ✅ Highlight slowest tests (in verbose mode)
+- ✅ Add test failure context
+
+### 6. ✅ Browser console integration
+- ✅ Clearly separate browser logs from test output
+- ⏳ Add browser log filtering options (TODO)
+- ✅ Format browser errors specially
+
+## Implementation Steps - COMPLETED
+
+### Phase 1: ✅ Core Logger Implementation
+1. ✅ Created `tstest.logging.ts` with TsTestLogger class
+2. ✅ Added LogOptions interface for configuration
+3. ✅ Implemented basic formatting methods
+4. ✅ Added progress and summary methods
+
+### Phase 2: ✅ Integration
+1. ✅ Updated CLI to accept new command-line options
+2. ✅ Modified TsTest class to use new logger
+3. ✅ Updated TapParser to use structured logging
+4. ✅ Updated TapCombinator for better summaries
+
+### Phase 3: ✅ Visual Improvements
+1. ✅ Replaced all existing separators
+2. ✅ Updated color scheme
+3. ✅ Added emoji and Unicode characters
+4. ✅ Implemented hierarchical output
+
+### Phase 4: ✅ Advanced Features
+1. ✅ Add JSON output format
+2. ⏳ Implement file-based logging (TODO)
+3. ✅ Add performance metrics collection
+4. ✅ Create error aggregation system
+
+### Phase 5: ✅ Browser Integration
+1. ✅ Update browser console forwarding
+2. ✅ Add browser log formatting
+3. ✅ Implement browser-specific indicators
+
+## Files modified
+- ✅ `ts/tstest.logging.ts` - New logger implementation (created)
+- ✅ `ts/index.ts` - Added CLI options parsing
+- ✅ `ts/tstest.classes.tstest.ts` - Integrated new logger
+- ✅ `ts/tstest.classes.tap.parser.ts` - Updated output formatting
+- ✅ `ts/tstest.classes.tap.combinator.ts` - Improved summary display
+- ❌ `ts/tstest.logprefixes.ts` - Still in use, can be deprecated later
+- ❌ `package.json` - No new dependencies needed
+
+## Success Criteria - ACHIEVED
+- ✅ Cleaner, more readable test output
+- ✅ Configurable verbosity levels
+- ✅ Better CI/CD integration
+- ✅ Improved error visibility
+- ✅ Performance metrics available
+- ✅ Consistent visual design
+- ✅ Maintained backward compatibility
+

+
+3. **Error Display**:
+```
+❌ Failed Tests:
+
+   test/test.fail.ts
+      ❌ This test should fail
+
+SOME TESTS FAILED! ❌
+```
+
+## Summary of Implementation
+
+The logging improvement plan has been successfully implemented with the following achievements:
+
+1. **Created a new centralized TsTestLogger class** that handles all output formatting
+2. **Added multiple output modes**: quiet, normal, verbose, and JSON
+3. **Improved visual design** with modern Unicode characters and emojis
+4. **Added CLI argument parsing** for all new options
+5. **Integrated the logger throughout the codebase** (TsTest, TapParser, TapCombinator)
+6. **Better error aggregation and display** with failed tests shown at the end
+7. **Performance metrics** available in verbose mode
+8. **Clean, hierarchical output** that's much more readable
+
+### Remaining TODOs
+
+Only a few minor features remain unimplemented:
+- File-based logging (--log-file option)
+- Progress bar visualization
+- ETA for long test suites
+- Browser log filtering options
+
+The core logging improvements are complete and provide a much better user experience!
