 # Changelog
 
+## 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.
+- Minor formatting and documentation cleanup (whitespace, headings, and changelog entries).
+
+## 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

+## Multi-Runtime Architecture
+
+tstest supports running your tests across multiple JavaScript runtimes, allowing you to verify cross-platform compatibility easily.
+
+### Supported Runtimes
+
+- **Node.js** - Default runtime, uses tsrun for TypeScript execution
+- **Chromium** - Browser environment testing with full DOM support
+- **Deno** - Secure TypeScript/JavaScript runtime with modern features
+- **Bun** - Ultra-fast all-in-one JavaScript runtime
+
+### Test File Naming Convention
+
+Name your test files with runtime specifiers to control where they run:
+
+| Pattern | Runtimes | Example |
+|---------|----------|---------|
+| `*.ts` | Node.js only (default) | `test.api.ts` |
+| `*.node.ts` | Node.js only | `test.server.node.ts` |
+| `*.chromium.ts` | Chromium browser | `test.dom.chromium.ts` |
+| `*.deno.ts` | Deno runtime | `test.http.deno.ts` |
+| `*.bun.ts` | Bun runtime | `test.fast.bun.ts` |
+| `*.all.ts` | All runtimes (Node, Chromium, Deno, Bun) | `test.universal.all.ts` |
+| `*.node+chromium.ts` | Both Node.js and Chromium | `test.isomorphic.node+chromium.ts` |
+| `*.node+deno.ts` | Both Node.js and Deno | `test.cross.node+deno.ts` |
+| `*.deno+bun.ts` | Both Deno and Bun | `test.modern.deno+bun.ts` |
+| `*.chromium.nonci.ts` | Chromium, skip in CI | `test.visual.chromium.nonci.ts` |
+| `*.all.nonci.ts` | All runtimes, skip in CI | `test.comprehensive.all.nonci.ts` |
+
+**Multi-Runtime Examples:**
+
+```typescript
+// test.api.all.ts - runs in all runtimes (Node, Chromium, Deno, Bun)
+import { expect, tap } from '@git.zone/tstest/tapbundle';
+
+tap.test('universal HTTP test', async () => {
+  const response = await fetch('https://api.example.com/test');
+  expect(response.status).toEqual(200);
+});
+
+export default tap.start();
+```
+
+```typescript
+// test.api.node+deno+bun.ts - runs in specific runtimes
+import { expect, tap } from '@git.zone/tstest/tapbundle';
+
+tap.test('cross-runtime HTTP test', async () => {
+  const response = await fetch('https://api.example.com/test');
+  expect(response.status).toEqual(200);
+});
+
+export default tap.start();
+```
+
+### Runtime Execution Order
+
+When multiple runtimes are specified, tests execute in this order:
+1. Node.js
+2. Bun
+3. Deno
+4. Chromium
+
+### Legacy Naming (Deprecated)
+
+The following patterns are still supported but deprecated. Use the migration tool to update:
+
+| Legacy Pattern | Modern Equivalent | Migration Command |
+|----------------|-------------------|-------------------|
+| `*.browser.ts` | `*.chromium.ts` | `tstest migrate` |
+| `*.both.ts` | `*.node+chromium.ts` | `tstest migrate` |
+
+When running legacy files, tstest shows a deprecation warning with the suggested new name.
+
+### Migration Tool
+
+Migrate your test files from legacy naming to the new convention:
+
+```bash
+# Dry run - see what would change
+tstest migrate --dry-run
+
+# Apply migrations (uses git mv to preserve history)
+tstest migrate --write
+```
+
+**Migration Features:**
+- ✅ Uses `git mv` to preserve file history
+- ✅ Idempotent - safe to run multiple times
+- ✅ Dry-run by default for safety
+- ✅ Colored output showing all changes
+- ✅ Handles modifiers like `.nonci` correctly
+
+Example output:
+```
+============================================================
+Test File Migration Tool
+============================================================
+
+🔍 DRY RUN MODE - No files will be modified
+
+Found 3 legacy test file(s)
+
+  Would migrate:
+    test.browser.ts
+    → test.chromium.ts
+
+  Would migrate:
+    test.both.ts
+    → test.node+chromium.ts
+
+  Would migrate:
+    test.auth.browser.nonci.ts
+    → test.auth.chromium.nonci.ts
+
+============================================================
+Summary:
+  Total legacy files: 3
+  Successfully migrated: 3
+  Errors: 0
+============================================================
+
+To apply these changes, run:
+  tstest migrate --write
+```
+
+### Runtime-Specific Permissions
+
+#### Deno Runtime
+
+Tests run with these permissions by default:
+```bash
+--allow-read
+--allow-env
+--allow-net
+--allow-write
+--allow-sys
+--allow-import       # Enables npm packages and Node.js built-ins
+--node-modules-dir   # Node.js compatibility mode
+--sloppy-imports     # Allows .js imports to resolve to .ts files
+```
+
+Configure custom permissions in your test file or via environment variables.
+
+#### Bun Runtime
+
+Bun runs with its native TypeScript support and full access to Node.js APIs.

-### Test Configuration (.tstest.json)
-
-Configure test behavior with `.tstest.json` files:
-
-```json
-{
-  "timeout": 30000,
-  "retries": 2,
-  "bail": false,
-  "parallel": true,
-  "tags": ["unit", "fast"],
-  "env": {
-    "NODE_ENV": "test"
-  }
-}
-```
-
-Configuration files are discovered in:
-1. Test file directory
-2. Parent directories (up to project root)
-3. Project root
-4. Home directory (`~/.tstest.json`)
-
-Settings cascade and merge, with closer files taking precedence.
-
-### Event-based Test Reporting
-
-tstest emits detailed events during test execution for integration with CI/CD tools:
-
-```json
-{"event":"suite:started","file":"test/api.test.ts","timestamp":"2025-05-26T10:30:00.000Z"}
-{"event":"test:started","name":"api endpoint validation","timestamp":"2025-05-26T10:30:00.100Z"}
-{"event":"test:progress","name":"api endpoint validation","message":"Validating response schema"}
-{"event":"test:completed","name":"api endpoint validation","passed":true,"duration":145}
-{"event":"suite:completed","file":"test/api.test.ts","passed":true,"total":2,"failed":0}
-```
-
-### Enhanced TAP Protocol (Protocol V2)
-
-tstest uses an enhanced TAP protocol with Unicode delimiters for better parsing:
-
-```
-⟦TSTEST:EVENT:test:started⟧{"name":"my test","timestamp":"2025-05-26T10:30:00.000Z"}
-ok 1 my test
-⟦TSTEST:EVENT:test:completed⟧{"name":"my test","passed":true,"duration":145}
-```
-
-This prevents conflicts with test output that might contain TAP-like formatting.
-
-## Advanced Features
-
-### Glob Pattern Support
-
-Run specific test patterns:
-```bash
-# Run all unit tests
-tstest "test/unit/**/*.ts"
-
-# Run all integration tests
-tstest "test/integration/*.test.ts"
-
-# Run multiple patterns
-tstest "test/**/*.spec.ts" "test/**/*.test.ts"
-```
-
-**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.

+
+## 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
+});
+```

+
+console.log(paths.cwd);          // Current working directory
+console.log(paths.testFilesDir); // ./.nogit/testfiles/
+```
+
+## Patterns and Best Practices
+
+### Testing with External Services
+
+```typescript
+import { tapNodeTools } from '@git.zone/tstest/tapbundle_node';
+import { tap, expect } from '@git.zone/tstest/tapbundle';
+
+tap.describe('User Service Integration', () => {
+  let mongoInstance;
+  let db;
+
+  tap.beforeEach(async () => {
+    mongoInstance = await tapNodeTools.createSmartmongo();
+    db = await mongoInstance.getDatabase('testdb');
+  });
+
+  tap.test('should create user', async () => {
+    const users = await db.getCollection('users');
+    await users.insertOne({ name: 'Bob', email: 'bob@example.com' });
+
+    const user = await users.findOne({ name: 'Bob' });
+    expect(user.email).toEqual('bob@example.com');
+  });
+
+  tap.afterEach(async () => {
+    await mongoInstance.stop();
+  });
+});
+
+export default tap.start();
+```
+
+### Testing HTTPS Servers
+
+```typescript
+import { tapNodeTools } from '@git.zone/tstest/tapbundle_node';
+import { tap, expect } from '@git.zone/tstest/tapbundle';
+import * as https from 'https';
+
+tap.test('should serve over HTTPS', async () => {
+  const { key, cert } = await tapNodeTools.createHttpsCert();
+
+  const server = https.createServer({ key, cert }, (req, res) => {
+    res.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': 'text/plain' });
+    res.end('Secure Response');
+  });
+
+  await new Promise((resolve) => {
+    server.listen(8443, () => resolve(undefined));
+  });
+
+  // Test the server
+  const response = await fetch('https://localhost:8443');
+  const text = await response.text();
+  expect(text).toEqual('Secure Response');
+
+  // Cleanup
+  server.close();
+});
+
+export default tap.start();
+```
+
+### Environment-Dependent Tests
+
+```typescript
+import { tapNodeTools } from '@git.zone/tstest/tapbundle_node';
+import { tap, expect } from '@git.zone/tstest/tapbundle';
+
+tap.test('should authenticate with GitHub', async () => {
+  const githubToken = await tapNodeTools.getEnvVarOnDemand('GITHUB_TOKEN');
+
+  // Use the token for API calls
+  const response = await fetch('https://api.github.com/user', {
+    headers: {
+      Authorization: `Bearer ${githubToken}`
+    }
+  });
+
+  expect(response.ok).toBeTruthy();
+});
+
+export default tap.start();
+```
+
+## Runtime Requirements
+
+⚠️ **Node.js Only**: All utilities in this module require Node.js runtime. They will not work in:
+- Browser environments
+- Deno runtime
+- Bun runtime
+
+For multi-runtime tests, use these utilities only in `.node.ts` test files.
+
+## File Naming
+
+Use Node.js-specific file naming when using these utilities:
+
+```
+test/mytest.node.ts              ✅ Node.js only
+test/mytest.node+deno.ts         ❌ Will fail in Deno
+test/mytest.browser+node.ts      ⚠️ Browser won't have access to these tools
+```
+
+## Dependencies
+
+This module uses the following packages:
+- [@push.rocks/qenv](https://code.foss.global/push.rocks/qenv) - Environment variable management
+- [@push.rocks/smartshell](https://code.foss.global/push.rocks/smartshell) - Shell command execution
+- [@push.rocks/smartcrypto](https://code.foss.global/push.rocks/smartcrypto) - Certificate generation
+- [@push.rocks/smartmongo](https://code.foss.global/push.rocks/smartmongo) - MongoDB testing
+- [@push.rocks/smarts3](https://code.foss.global/push.rocks/smarts3) - S3 storage testing

This protocol enables rich communication between test runners and test consumers while maintaining backward compatibility with standard TAP parsers.
+
+## Key Features
+
+- 📋 **TAP v13 Compliant** - Fully compatible with standard TAP consumers
+- 🎯 **Enhanced Metadata** - Timing, tags, errors, diffs, and custom data
+- 🔄 **Real-time Events** - Live test execution updates
+- 🔍 **Structured Errors** - JSON error blocks with stack traces and diffs
+- 📸 **Snapshot Support** - Built-in snapshot testing protocol
+- 🌐 **Isomorphic** - Works in Node.js, browsers, Deno, and Bun
+- 🏷️ **Protocol Markers** - Structured data using Unicode delimiters
+
+## Protocol V2 Format
+
+### Protocol Markers
+
+Protocol V2 uses special Unicode markers to embed structured data within TAP output:
+
+- `⟦TSTEST:` - Start marker
+- `⟧` - End marker
+
+These markers allow structured data to coexist with standard TAP without breaking compatibility.
+
+### Example Output
+
+```tap
+⟦TSTEST:PROTOCOL:2.0.0⟧
+TAP version 13
+1..3
+ok 1 - should add numbers ⟦TSTEST:time:42⟧
+not ok 2 - should validate input
+⟦TSTEST:META:{"time":156,"file":"test.ts","line":42}⟧
+⟦TSTEST:ERROR⟧
+{
+  "error": {
+    "message": "Expected 5 to equal 6",
+    "diff": {...}
+  }
+}
+⟦TSTEST:/ERROR⟧
+ok 3 - should handle edge cases # SKIP not implemented ⟦TSTEST:SKIP:not implemented⟧
+```
+

+console.log(PROTOCOL_MARKERS.START);   // "⟦TSTEST:"
+console.log(PROTOCOL_MARKERS.END);     // "⟧"
+```
+
+### Available Markers
+
+```typescript
+const PROTOCOL_MARKERS = {
+  START: '⟦TSTEST:',
+  END: '⟧',
+  META_PREFIX: 'META:',
+  ERROR_PREFIX: 'ERROR',
+  ERROR_END: '/ERROR',
+  SNAPSHOT_PREFIX: 'SNAPSHOT:',
+  SNAPSHOT_END: '/SNAPSHOT',
+  PROTOCOL_PREFIX: 'PROTOCOL:',
+  SKIP_PREFIX: 'SKIP:',
+  TODO_PREFIX: 'TODO:',
+  EVENT_PREFIX: 'EVENT:',
+};
+```
+
+## Usage Patterns
+
+### Creating a Custom Test Runner
+
+```typescript
+import { ProtocolEmitter } from '@git.zone/tstest/tapbundle_protocol';
+
+const emitter = new ProtocolEmitter();
+
+// Emit protocol header
+console.log(emitter.emitProtocolHeader());
+console.log(emitter.emitTapVersion(13));
+
+// Emit plan
+console.log(emitter.emitPlan({ start: 1, end: 2 }));
+
+// Run test 1
+emitter.emitEvent({
+  eventType: 'test:started',
+  timestamp: Date.now(),
+  data: { testNumber: 1 }
+}).split('\n').forEach(line => console.log(line));
+
+const result1 = emitter.emitTest({
+  ok: true,
+  testNumber: 1,
+  description: 'first test',
+  metadata: { time: 45 }
+});
+result1.forEach(line => console.log(line));
+
+// Run test 2
+const result2 = emitter.emitTest({
+  ok: false,
+  testNumber: 2,
+  description: 'second test',
+  metadata: {
+    time: 120,
+    error: {
+      message: 'Assertion failed',
+      actual: 5,
+      expected: 6
+    }
+  }
+});
+result2.forEach(line => console.log(line));
+```
+
+### Parsing Test Output
+
+```typescript
+import { ProtocolParser } from '@git.zone/tstest/tapbundle_protocol';
+import * as readline from 'readline';
+
+const parser = new ProtocolParser();
+
+const rl = readline.createInterface({
+  input: process.stdin,
+  output: process.stdout
+});
+
+rl.on('line', (line) => {
+  const messages = parser.parseLine(line);
+
+  messages.forEach(message => {
+    switch (message.type) {
+      case 'test':
+        console.log(`Test ${message.content.testNumber}: ${message.content.ok ? 'PASS' : 'FAIL'}`);
+        break;
+      case 'event':
+        console.log(`Event: ${message.content.eventType}`);
+        break;
+      case 'error':
+        console.error(`Error: ${message.content.error.message}`);
+        break;
+    }
+  });
+});
+```
+
+### Building Test Dashboards
+
+Real-time events enable building live test dashboards:
+
+```typescript
+const parser = new ProtocolParser();
+
+parser.parseLine(line).forEach(message => {
+  if (message.type === 'event') {
+    const event = message.content;
+
+    switch (event.eventType) {
+      case 'test:started':
+        updateUI({ status: 'running', test: event.data.description });
+        break;
+      case 'test:completed':
+        updateUI({ status: 'done', duration: event.data.duration });
+        break;
+      case 'suite:started':
+        createSuiteCard(event.data.suiteName);
+        break;
+    }
+  }
+});
+```
+
+## Backward Compatibility
+
+Protocol V2 is fully backward compatible with standard TAP parsers:
+
+- Protocol markers use Unicode characters that TAP parsers ignore
+- Standard TAP output (ok/not ok, plan, comments) works everywhere
+- Enhanced features gracefully degrade in standard TAP consumers
+
+**Standard TAP View:**
+```tap
+TAP version 13
+1..3
+ok 1 - should add numbers
+not ok 2 - should validate input
+ok 3 - should handle edge cases # SKIP not implemented
+```
+
+**Protocol V2 View (same output):**
+```tap
+⟦TSTEST:PROTOCOL:2.0.0⟧
+TAP version 13
+1..3
+ok 1 - should add numbers ⟦TSTEST:time:42⟧
+not ok 2 - should validate input
+⟦TSTEST:META:{"time":156}⟧
+ok 3 - should handle edge cases # SKIP not implemented ⟦TSTEST:SKIP:not implemented⟧
+```
+
+## Isomorphic Design
+
+This module works in all JavaScript environments:
+
+- ✅ Node.js
+- ✅ Browsers (via tapbundle)
+- ✅ Deno
+- ✅ Bun
+- ✅ Web Workers
+- ✅ Service Workers
+
+No runtime-specific APIs are used, making it truly portable.
