 # Changelog
 
+## 2025-05-25 - 2.0.0 - BREAKING CHANGE(protocol)
+Introduce protocol v2 implementation and update build configuration with revised build order, new tspublish files, and enhanced documentation
+
+- Added ts_tapbundle_protocol directory with isomorphic implementation for protocol v2
+- Updated readme.hints.md and readme.plan.md to explain the complete replacement of the v1 protocol and new build process
+- Revised build order in tspublish.json files across ts, ts_tapbundle, ts_tapbundle_node, and ts_tapbundle_protocol
+- Introduced .claude/settings.local.json with updated permission settings for CLI and build tools
+
+## 2025-05-24 - 1.11.5 - fix(tstest)
+Fix timeout handling to correctly evaluate TAP results after killing the test process.
+
+- Added call to evaluateFinalResult() after killing the process in runInNode to ensure final TAP output is processed.
+
+## 2025-05-24 - 1.11.4 - fix(logging)
+Improve warning logging and add permission settings file
+
+- Replace multiple logger.error calls with logger.warning for tests running over 1 minute
+- Add warning method in tstest logger to display warning messages consistently
+- Introduce .claude/settings.local.json to configure allowed permissions
+
+## 2025-05-24 - 1.11.3 - fix(tstest)
+Add timeout warning for long-running tests and introduce local settings configuration
+
+- Add .claude/settings.local.json with permission configuration for local development
+- Implement a timeout warning timer that notifies when tests run longer than 1 minute without an explicit timeout
+- Clear the timeout warning timer upon test completion
+- Remove unused import of logPrefixes in tstest.classes.tstest.ts
+
+## 2025-05-24 - 1.11.2 - fix(tstest)
+Improve timeout and error handling in test execution along with TAP parser timeout logic improvements.
+
+- In the TAP parser, ensure that expected tests are properly set when no tests are defined to avoid false negatives on timeout.
+- Use smartshell's terminate method and fallback kill to properly stop the entire process tree on timeout.
+- Clean up browser, server, and WebSocket instances reliably even when a timeout occurs.
+- Minor improvements in log file filtering and error logging for better clarity.
+
+## 2025-05-24 - 1.11.1 - fix(tstest)
+Clear timeout identifiers after successful test execution and add local CLAUDE settings
+
+- Ensure timeout IDs are cleared when tests complete to prevent lingering timeouts
+- Add .claude/settings.local.json with updated permission settings for CLI commands
+
+## 2025-05-24 - 1.11.0 - feat(cli)
+Add new timeout and file range options with enhanced logfile diff logging
+
+- Introduce --timeout <seconds> option to safeguard tests from running too long
+- Add --startFrom and --stopAt options to control the range of test files executed
+- Enhance logfile organization by automatically moving previous logs and generating diff reports for failed or changed test outputs
+- Update CLI argument parsing and internal timeout handling for both Node.js and browser tests
+
 ## 2025-05-24 - 1.10.2 - fix(tstest-logging)
 Improve log file handling with log rotation and diff reporting

-See `readme.protocol.md` for the full specification and `tapbundle.protocols.ts` for the implementation utilities.
+### 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.

 **Important**: Always quote glob patterns to prevent shell expansion. Without quotes, the shell will expand the pattern and only pass the first matching file to tstest.
 
-### Automatic Logging
+### Enhanced Test Logging
+
+The `--logfile` option provides intelligent test logging with automatic organization:
 
-Use `--logfile` to automatically save test output:
 ```bash
 tstest test/ --logfile
 ```
 
-This creates detailed logs in `.nogit/testlogs/[testname].log` for each test file.
+**Log Organization:**
+- **Current Run**: `.nogit/testlogs/[testname].log`
+- **Previous Run**: `.nogit/testlogs/previous/[testname].log`
+- **Failed Tests**: `.nogit/testlogs/00err/[testname].log`
+- **Changed Output**: `.nogit/testlogs/00diff/[testname].log`
+
+**Features:**
+- Previous logs are automatically moved to the `previous/` folder
+- Failed tests create copies in `00err/` for quick identification
+- Tests with changed output create diff reports in `00diff/`
+- The `00err/` and `00diff/` folders are cleared on each run
+
+**Example Diff Report:**
+```
+DIFF REPORT: test__api__integration.log

+Current version has 40 lines

+
+### Test Timeout Protection
+
+Prevent runaway tests with the `--timeout` option:
+
+```bash
+# Timeout any test file that runs longer than 60 seconds
+tstest test/ --timeout 60
+
+# Shorter timeout for unit tests
+tstest test/unit/ --timeout 10
+```
+
+When a test exceeds the timeout:
+- The test process is terminated (SIGTERM)
+- The test is marked as failed
+- An error log is created in `.nogit/testlogs/00err/`
+- Clear error message shows the timeout duration
+
+### Test File Range Control
+
+Run specific ranges of test files using `--startFrom` and `--stopAt`:
+
+```bash
+# Run tests starting from the 5th file
+tstest test/ --startFrom 5
+
+# Run only files 5 through 10
+tstest test/ --startFrom 5 --stopAt 10
+
+# Run only the first 3 test files
+tstest test/ --stopAt 3
+```
+
+This is particularly useful for:
+- Debugging specific test failures in large test suites
+- Running tests in chunks on different CI runners
+- Quickly testing changes to specific test files
+
+The output shows which files are skipped:
+```
+⏭️  test/auth.test.ts (1/10)
+   Skipped: before start range (5)
+⏭️  test/user.test.ts (2/10)
+   Skipped: before start range (5)
+▶️  test/api.test.ts (5/10)
+   Runtime: node.js
+   ✅ api endpoints work (145ms)
+```

 - Use Unicode delimiters `⟦TSTEST:META:{}⟧` that won't appear in test names
 - Structured JSON metadata format
 - Separate protocol blocks for complex data (errors, snapshots)

 ### Implementation
-- Phase 1: Add protocol v2 parser alongside v1
+- Phase 1: Create protocol v2 implementation in ts_tapbundle_protocol
-- Phase 2: Generate v2 by default with --legacy flag for v1
+- 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.
