 # Changelog
 
+## 2025-11-21 - 3.1.2 - fix(docs)
+Update README: add issue reporting/security guidance and expanded changelog (3.1.1/3.1.0)
+
+- Add 'Issue Reporting and Security' section pointing to https://community.foss.global/ for bug/security reports and contributor onboarding.
+- Expand Changelog with Version 3.1.1 notes: fixed TapTools parameter passing to suite lifecycle hooks (beforeAll/afterAll) and updated @push.rocks/smarts3 dependency to ^3.0.0.
+- Include Changelog entries for Version 3.1.0: postTask() API, suite beforeAll/afterAll, new parallel() fluent API, and enhanced tapbundle documentation.
+- Documentation-only change (no source code modifications).
+
+## 2025-11-21 - 3.1.1 - fix(tapbundle)
+Pass TapTools to suite lifecycle hooks (beforeAll/afterAll) and update @push.rocks/smarts3 to ^3.0.0
+
+- Replace usage of a Deferred promise with a TapTools instance when invoking suite.beforeAll and suite.afterAll
+- Add import for TapTools in ts_tapbundle/tapbundle.classes.tap.ts
+- Bump dependency @push.rocks/smarts3 from ^2.2.7 to ^3.0.0 in package.json
+
+## 2025-11-20 - 3.1.0 - feat(tapbundle)
+Add global postTask (teardown) and suite lifecycle hooks (beforeAll/afterAll) to tapbundle
+
+- Introduce PostTask class (ts_tapbundle/tapbundle.classes.posttask.ts) and tap.postTask() API for global teardown.
+- Integrate postTask execution into Tap.start() so postTasks run after all tests and before the global afterAll hook.
+- Add suite-level beforeAll and afterAll support and ensure afterAll runs after child suites and their tests (changes in ts_tapbundle/tapbundle.classes.tap.ts).
+- Add lifecycle tests (test/tapbundle/test.new-lifecycle.ts) verifying execution order, including parallel tests.
+- Update documentation (readme.hints.md) describing Phase 1 API improvements and usage notes.
+- This is additive and backward-compatible (no breaking changes).
+
+## 2025-11-20 - 3.0.1 - fix(@push.rocks/smarts3)
+Bump @push.rocks/smarts3 dependency to ^2.2.7
+
+- Update package.json: @push.rocks/smarts3 upgraded from ^2.2.6 to ^2.2.7
+
+## 2025-11-19 - 3.0.0 - BREAKING CHANGE(tapbundle_serverside)
+Rename Node-specific tapbundle module to tapbundle_serverside and migrate server-side utilities
+
+- Change public export in package.json from ./tapbundle_node to ./tapbundle_serverside — consumers must update imports to @git.zone/tstest/tapbundle_serverside
+- Move and re-create Node-only implementation files under ts_tapbundle_serverside (plugins, paths, classes.tapnodetools, classes.testfileprovider, index, tspublish.json) and remove legacy ts_tapbundle_node sources
+- Update internal imports and tests to reference the new tapbundle_serverside path (e.g. test/tapbundle/test.node.ts updated)
+- Update documentation (readme.md and readme.hints.md) to describe the new tapbundle_serverside export and its server-side utilities
+- Ensure build outputs and publish metadata reflect the new module directory (tspublish.json order preserved)
+
+## 2025-11-19 - 2.8.3 - fix(dependencies)
+Update dependency versions
+
+- Bump devDependency @git.zone/tsbuild to ^3.1.0
+- Upgrade @git.zone/tsrun to ^2.0.0 (major)
+- Upgrade @push.rocks/smartenv to ^6.0.0 (major)
+- Upgrade @push.rocks/smartrequest to ^5.0.1 (major/feature in dependency)
+- Patch updates: @api.global/typedserver → ^3.0.80, @git.zone/tsbundle → ^2.5.2, @push.rocks/smartmongo → ^2.0.14
+
+## 2025-11-17 - 2.8.2 - fix(logging)
+Include runtime identifier in per-test logfile name and sanitize runtime string
+
+- Append a sanitized runtime identifier to the per-test log filename (format: <safeFilename>__<safeRuntime>.log) so runs for different runtimes don't clash
+- Sanitize runtime names by lowercasing and removing non-alphanumeric characters to produce filesystem-safe filenames
+
+## 2025-11-17 - 2.8.1 - fix(config)
+Remove Bun config file and set deno.json useDefineForClassFields to false for compatibility
+
+- Removed bunfig.toml (Bun-specific TypeScript decorator configuration) — stops shipping a project-local Bun transpiler config.
+- Updated deno.json: set compilerOptions.useDefineForClassFields = false to keep legacy class field semantics and avoid runtime/emit incompatibilities in Deno.
+
+## 2025-11-17 - 2.8.0 - feat(runtime-adapters)
+Enable TypeScript decorator support for Deno and Bun runtimes and add decorator tests
+
+- Add bunfig.toml to enable experimentalDecorators for Bun runtime
+- Add deno.json to enable experimentalDecorators and set target/lib for Deno
+- Update Bun runtime adapter to note bunfig.toml discovery so Bun runs with decorator support
+- Update Deno runtime adapter to auto-detect deno.json / deno.jsonc and pass configPath in default options
+- Add integration tests for decorators (test/decorator.all.ts) to verify decorator support across runtimes
+
+## 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

+## Phase 1 API Improvements (v3.1.0)
+
+### New Features Implemented
+
+#### 1. tap.postTask() - Global Teardown (COMPLETED)
+
+Added symmetric teardown method to complement `tap.preTask()`:
+
+**Implementation:**
+- Created `PostTask` class in `ts_tapbundle/tapbundle.classes.posttask.ts`
+- Mirrors PreTask structure with description and function
+- Integrated into Tap class execution flow
+- Runs after all tests complete but before global `afterAll` hook
+
+**Usage:**
+```typescript
+tap.postTask('cleanup database', async () => {
+  await cleanupDatabase();
+});
+```
+
+**Execution Order:**
+1. preTask hooks
+2. Global beforeAll
+3. Tests (with suite hooks)
+4. **postTask hooks** ← NEW
+5. Global afterAll
+
+#### 2. Suite-Level beforeAll/afterAll (COMPLETED)
+
+Added once-per-suite lifecycle hooks:
+
+**Implementation:**
+- Extended `ITestSuite` interface with `beforeAll` and `afterAll` properties
+- Added `tap.beforeAll()` and `tap.afterAll()` methods
+- Integrated into `_runSuite()` execution flow
+- Properly handles nested suites
+
+**Usage:**
+```typescript
+tap.describe('Database Tests', () => {
+  tap.beforeAll(async () => {
+    await initializeDatabaseConnection(); // Runs once
+  });
+
+  tap.test('test 1', async () => {});
+  tap.test('test 2', async () => {});
+
+  tap.afterAll(async () => {
+    await closeDatabaseConnection(); // Runs once
+  });
+});
+```
+
+**Execution Order per Suite:**
+1. Suite beforeAll ← NEW
+2. Suite beforeEach
+3. Test
+4. Suite afterEach
+5. (Repeat 2-4 for each test)
+6. Child suites (recursive)
+7. Suite afterAll ← NEW
+
+#### 3. tap.parallel() Fluent Entry Point (COMPLETED)
+
+Added fluent API for parallel test creation:
+
+**Implementation:**
+- Updated `TestBuilder` class with `_parallel` flag
+- Builder constructor accepts optional parallel parameter
+- Added `tap.parallel()` method returning configured builder
+- Fixed `testParallel()` to return TapTest<T> (was void)
+
+**Usage:**
+```typescript
+// Simple parallel test
+tap.parallel().test('fetch data', async () => {});
+
+// With full configuration
+tap
+  .parallel()
+  .tags('api', 'integration')
+  .retry(2)
+  .timeout(5000)
+  .test('configured parallel test', async () => {});
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Consistent with other fluent builders (tags, priority, etc.)
+- More discoverable than separate `testParallel()` method
+- Allows chaining parallel with other configurations
+- `testParallel()` kept for backward compatibility
+
+### Documentation Updates
+
+**tapbundle/readme.md:**
+- Added suite-level beforeAll/afterAll documentation
+- Documented postTask with execution order notes
+- Added parallel() fluent API examples
+- Expanded TapTools documentation with all methods
+- Added "Additional Tap Methods" section for fail(), getSettings(), etc.
+- Documented all previously undocumented methods
+
+### Tests
+
+**test/tapbundle/test.new-lifecycle.ts:**
+- Tests postTask execution order
+- Verifies suite-level beforeAll/afterAll
+- Tests nested suite lifecycle
+- Validates parallel() fluent API
+- Confirms all execution order requirements
+
+**Test Results:** All 9 tests passing ✅
+
+### Breaking Changes
+
+None - all changes are additive and backward compatible.
+
+### Migration Guide
+
+No migration needed. New features are opt-in:
+- Continue using existing patterns
+- Adopt new features incrementally
+- `testParallel()` still works (recommended: switch to `parallel().test()`)
+

+  - Create ephemeral MongoDB instances for database testing
+  - Create local S3-compatible storage for object storage testing
+  - Download and manage test assets (e.g., Docker images)
+- `@git.zone/tstest/tapbundle_protocol` - Protocol V2 emitter and parser for TAP extensions
+
+### When to Use tapbundle_serverside
+
+Use `@git.zone/tstest/tapbundle_serverside` when your tests:
+
+- Run exclusively on Node.js server-side (*.node.ts test files)
+- Need to execute shell commands or interact with the file system
+- Require environment variable management with secure on-demand prompts
+- Test HTTPS servers and need self-signed certificates
+- Interact with databases (MongoDB) and need ephemeral test instances
+- Work with object storage (S3-compatible) and need local testing
+- Require test assets like Docker images or other downloadable files
+
+**Important:** tapbundle_serverside utilities are NOT available in:
+- Browser environments
+- Deno runtime
+- Bun runtime
+
+For cross-runtime tests, only import tapbundle_serverside in `.node.ts` files where you need server-side specific functionality.
+
+## tapbundle Protocol V2
+
+tstest includes an enhanced TAP protocol (Protocol V2) that extends standard TAP 13 with additional metadata while maintaining backwards compatibility.
+
+### Overview
+
+Protocol V2 adds structured metadata to TAP output using Unicode markers (`⟦TSTEST:...⟧`) that standard TAP parsers safely ignore. This allows for:
+
+- **Timing information** - Test execution duration in milliseconds
+- **Structured errors** - Stack traces, diffs, and detailed error data
+- **Test events** - Real-time progress and lifecycle events
+- **Snapshots** - Snapshot testing data exchange
+- **Custom metadata** - Tags, retry counts, file locations
+
+### Using the Protocol
+
+```typescript
+import {
+  ProtocolEmitter,
+  ProtocolParser,
+  PROTOCOL_MARKERS,
+  PROTOCOL_VERSION
+} from '@git.zone/tstest/tapbundle_protocol';
+
+// Create an emitter
+const emitter = new ProtocolEmitter();
+
+// Emit protocol header
+console.log(emitter.emitProtocolHeader());
+// Output: ⟦TSTEST:PROTOCOL:2.0.0⟧
+
+// Emit TAP version
+console.log(emitter.emitTapVersion(13));
+// Output: TAP version 13
+
+// Emit a test result with metadata
+const testResult = {
+  ok: true,
+  testNumber: 1,
+  description: 'user authentication works',
+  metadata: {
+    time: 123,
+    tags: ['auth', 'unit']
+  }
+};
+console.log(emitter.emitTest(testResult).join('\n'));
+// Output: ok 1 - user authentication works ⟦TSTEST:time:123⟧
+//         ⟦TSTEST:META:{"tags":["auth","unit"]}⟧
+```
+
+### Protocol Markers
+
+```typescript
+PROTOCOL_MARKERS = {
+  START: '⟦TSTEST:',
+  END: '⟧',
+  META_PREFIX: 'META:',
+  ERROR_PREFIX: 'ERROR',
+  SNAPSHOT_PREFIX: 'SNAPSHOT:',
+  SKIP_PREFIX: 'SKIP:',
+  TODO_PREFIX: 'TODO:',
+  EVENT_PREFIX: 'EVENT:'
+}
+```
+
+### Use Cases
+
+#### Creating Custom Test Runners
+
+```typescript
+import { ProtocolEmitter } from '@git.zone/tstest/tapbundle_protocol';
+
+const emitter = new ProtocolEmitter();
+
+// Emit header and version
+console.log(emitter.emitProtocolHeader());
+console.log(emitter.emitTapVersion(13));
+console.log(emitter.emitPlan({ start: 1, end: 2 }));
+
+// Run your tests and emit results
+const startTime = Date.now();
+// ... run test ...
+const duration = Date.now() - startTime;
+
+console.log(emitter.emitTest({
+  ok: true,
+  testNumber: 1,
+  description: 'my custom test',
+  metadata: { time: duration }
+}).join('\n'));
+```
+
+#### Parsing tapbundle Output
+
+```typescript
+import { ProtocolParser } from '@git.zone/tstest/tapbundle_protocol';
+
+const parser = new ProtocolParser();
+
+// Parse TAP output line by line
+parser.parseLine('⟦TSTEST:PROTOCOL:2.0.0⟧');
+parser.parseLine('TAP version 13');
+parser.parseLine('1..1');
+parser.parseLine('ok 1 - test name ⟦TSTEST:time:123⟧');
+
+// Get parsed results
+const results = parser.getResults();
+console.log(results);
+```
+
+### Backwards Compatibility
+
+Protocol V2 is fully backwards compatible with standard TAP 13. The Unicode markers are treated as comments by standard TAP parsers, so Protocol V2 output can be consumed by any TAP-compliant tool:
+
+```
+⟦TSTEST:PROTOCOL:2.0.0⟧    ← Ignored by standard TAP parsers
+TAP version 13               ← Standard TAP
+1..2                         ← Standard TAP
+ok 1 - test ⟦TSTEST:time:45⟧ ← TAP parsers see: "ok 1 - test"
+ok 2 - another test          ← Standard TAP
+```

 ## Overview
 
 `@git.zone/tstest/tapbundle` is the core testing framework module that provides the TAP (Test Anything Protocol) implementation for tstest. It offers a comprehensive API for writing and organizing tests with support for lifecycle hooks, test suites, enhanced assertions with diff generation, and flexible test configuration.

+  });
+```
+
+**Note:** `tap.parallel().test()` is the recommended way to define parallel tests. The older `tap.testParallel()` method is still supported for backward compatibility.

 ```typescript
-tap.test('should have utilities', async (tapTools) => {
+tap.test('test control examples', async (tapTools) => {
-  // Mark test as skipped
+  // Skip this test
+  tapTools.skip('reason');

+  // Store data in context
+  tapTools.context.set('userId', '12345');
+
+  // Store in testData property

+  if (tapTools.context.has('userId')) {
+    // Use data
+  }
+
+  // Clear context
+  tapTools.context.clear();
+});
+```
+
+#### Fixtures
+
+```typescript
+// Define a fixture globally (outside tests)
+import { TapTools } from '@git.zone/tstest/tapbundle';
+
+TapTools.defineFixture('database', async () => {
+  const db = await createTestDatabase();
+  return {
+    value: db,
+    cleanup: async () => await db.close()
+  };
+});
+
+// Use fixtures in tests
+tap.test('database test', async (tapTools) => {
+  const db = await tapTools.fixture('database');
+  // Use db...
+  // Cleanup happens automatically
+});
+```
+
+#### Factory Pattern
+
+```typescript
+// Define a factory
+TapTools.defineFixture('user', async () => {
+  return {
+    value: null, // Not used for factories
+    factory: async (data) => {
+      return await createUser(data);
+    },
+    cleanup: async (user) => await user.delete()
+  };
+});
+
+// Use factory in tests

+  const user = await tapTools.factory('user').create({ name: 'Alice' });
+
+  // Create multiple
+  const users = await tapTools.factory('user').createMany([
+    { name: 'Alice' },
+    { name: 'Bob' }
+  ]);
+
+  // Cleanup happens automatically
+});
+```
+
+#### Snapshot Testing
+
+```typescript
+tap.test('snapshot test', async (tapTools) => {
+  const result = { name: 'Alice', age: 30 };
+
+  // Compare with stored snapshot
+  await tapTools.matchSnapshot(result);
+
+  // Named snapshots
+  await tapTools.matchSnapshot(result, 'user-data');

+
+#### Configuration and Inspection
+
+```typescript
+// Get current test settings
+const settings = tap.getSettings();
+console.log(settings.timeout, settings.retries);
+
+// Explicitly fail a test
+tap.test('validation test', async () => {
+  if (invalidCondition) {

+
+// Handle thrown errors (internal use)

+
+#### Parallel Test Variants
+
+In addition to `tap.parallel().test()`, skip/only/todo modes also support parallel execution:
+
+```typescript
+// Skip parallel test
+tap.skip.testParallel('not ready', async () => {});
+
+// Only run this parallel test
+tap.only.testParallel('focus here', async () => {});
