 # Changelog
 
+## 2026-03-27 - 3.6.2 - fix(cli,chromium-runtime)
+clean up long-lived test runner resources after runs to prevent hanging processes
+
+- call TsTest.cleanup() after non-watch CLI runs so smartexit handlers are deregistered
+- terminate active WebSocket clients before closing the Chromium runtime server to release open connections cleanly
+
+## 2026-03-26 - 3.6.1 - fix(chromium runtime)
+encode Chromium test bundle names correctly for nested file paths
+
+- Use replaceAll() so bundle cache filenames consistently handle test paths with multiple directory separators.
+- URL-encode the bundleName query parameter before opening the Chromium test page to avoid lookup issues with generated bundle filenames.
+
+## 2026-03-24 - 3.6.0 - feat(config)
+migrate project metadata to .smartconfig and refresh build configuration
+
+- replace npmextra.json with .smartconfig.json and update packaged files accordingly
+- add module-level README documentation under ts/readme.md
+- bump build and runtime dependencies including tsbuild, tsbundle, smartstorage, smartwatch, smartserve, and ws
+- relax TypeScript compiler strictness and include Node types in tsconfig
+- update README license links to point to license.md
+
+## 2026-03-23 - 3.5.1 - fix(runtime)
+handle expected exitCode rejection after terminating timed out test processes
+
+- swallow the child process exitCode rejection triggered by timeout termination
+- reduce unhandled rejection noise when test files exceed the configured timeout
+
+## 2026-03-19 - 3.5.0 - feat(tstest)
+add support for package.json before scripts during test execution
+
+- load test:before or test:before:once once per test run from package.json scripts
+- run test:before:testfile before each test file execution and pass TSTEST_FILE and TSTEST_RUNTIME environment variables
+- log before-script lifecycle events and abort or skip execution when setup scripts fail
+
+## 2026-03-18 - 3.4.0 - feat(tapbundle,deno)
+replace smarts3 test tooling with smartstorage and pre-resolve Deno test dependencies
+
+- switch TapNodeTools storage helper from @push.rocks/smarts3 to @push.rocks/smartstorage and rename createSmarts3() to createSmartStorage()
+- update node tests and tapbundle server-side documentation to use the new smartstorage helper
+- run `deno install --entrypoint` before executing Deno tests to resolve dependencies up front
+- bump supporting development dependencies including @types/node and @push.rocks/smartshell
+
+## 2026-03-09 - 3.3.2 - fix(deps)
+bump dependency versions and reorder smartserve in package.json
+
+- bump @push.rocks/smartbrowser from ^2.0.10 to ^2.0.11
+- bump @push.rocks/smartfs from ^1.4.0 to ^1.5.0
+- move @push.rocks/smartserve to later position in dependencies (version unchanged: ^2.0.1)
+
+## 2026-03-09 - 3.3.1 - fix(serve)
+migrate test HTTP server to @push.rocks/smartserve and update related dependencies
+
+- Replace @api.global/typedserver with @push.rocks/smartserve and FileServer; use SmartServe.setHandler to serve static assets and a custom /test response.
+- Export smartserve from ts/tstest.plugins.ts and remove typedserver import/export.
+- Update package.json dependencies: add @push.rocks/smartserve@^2.0.1 and bump @push.rocks/smartbrowser to ^2.0.10.
+
 ## 2026-03-06 - 3.3.0 - feat(testfile-directives)

+# @git.zone/tstest
+
+> 🚀 Multi-runtime TypeScript test runner with beautiful output and intelligent test orchestration
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+# tstest is the main CLI entry point
+pnpm install --save-dev @git.zone/tstest
+```
+
+## Issue Reporting and Security
+
+For reporting bugs, issues, or security vulnerabilities, please visit [community.foss.global/](https://community.foss.global/). This is the central community hub for all issue reporting. Developers who sign and comply with our contribution agreement and go through identification can also get a [code.foss.global/](https://code.foss.global/) account to submit Pull Requests directly.
+
+## Overview
+
+This is the core test runner module of `@git.zone/tstest`. It provides the CLI, test discovery, multi-runtime execution, TAP output parsing, structured logging, and test orchestration. It ties together the entire testing pipeline — from finding test files to dispatching them across Node.js, Chromium, Deno, Bun, and Docker runtimes.
+
+## Key Features
+
+- 🔍 **Smart Test Discovery** — Glob patterns, directory scanning, and single-file mode
+- 🏃 **Multi-Runtime Execution** — Node.js, Chromium, Deno, Bun, and Docker adapters
+- 📊 **TAP Protocol Parsing** — Full Protocol V2 support with structured metadata
+- 🎨 **Rich Logging** — Color-coded output, JSON mode, per-file log files, diff tracking
+- ⚡ **Parallel Execution** — File-level parallel groups via `*.para__N.*` naming
+- 👀 **Watch Mode** — Re-run tests on file changes with debouncing
+- 🏷️ **Tag Filtering** — Run only tests matching specific tags
+- ⏱️ **Timeout Management** — Per-file timeouts with process tree termination
+- 📝 **Test File Directives** — Inline comments to configure runtime permissions and flags
+- 🔄 **Before Scripts** — `package.json`-based lifecycle hooks (`test:before`, `test:before:testfile`)
+- 🐳 **Docker Testing** — Run tests inside Docker containers via `*.docker.sh` files
+- 🔀 **Legacy Migration** — Automatic rename of `.browser.ts` → `.chromium.ts` patterns
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Runtime Adapter System
+
+Each runtime is implemented as a `RuntimeAdapter` with a unified interface:
+
+| Adapter | Runtime | How It Executes Tests |
+|---|---|---|
+| `NodeRuntimeAdapter` | Node.js | Spawns via `@git.zone/tsrun`, streams TAP output |
+| `ChromiumRuntimeAdapter` | Chromium | Bundles with esbuild, serves over HTTP, communicates via WebSocket |
+| `DenoRuntimeAdapter` | Deno | Runs `deno run` with configurable permissions |
+| `BunRuntimeAdapter` | Bun | Runs `bun run` with auto-discovered config |
+| `DockerRuntimeAdapter` | Docker | Builds image from Dockerfile, runs `docker run` |
+
+### Test File Naming Convention
+
+Test filenames determine which runtime(s) execute them:
+
+| Pattern | Runtimes |
+|---|---|
+| `*.ts` | Node.js (default) |
+| `*.node.ts` | Node.js only |
+| `*.chromium.ts` | Chromium browser |
+| `*.deno.ts` | Deno |
+| `*.bun.ts` | Bun |
+| `*.all.ts` | All runtimes |
+| `*.node+chromium.ts` | Node.js + Chromium |
+| `*.para__N.ts` | Parallel group N |
+| `*.docker.sh` | Docker container |
+
+### Execution Flow
+
+1. **Discovery** — `TestDirectory` scans for test files based on mode (directory/file/glob)
+2. **Grouping** — Files are split into serial and parallel groups (via `*.para__N.*` naming)
+3. **Before Scripts** — `test:before` / `test:before:testfile` from `package.json` run
+4. **Dispatch** — Each file is parsed for runtime specifiers and directives, then routed to the appropriate `RuntimeAdapter`
+5. **Parsing** — `TapParser` processes TAP output using Protocol V2, tracking results and events
+6. **Aggregation** — `TapCombinator` merges results from all test files
+7. **Reporting** — `TsTestLogger` outputs structured results (console, JSON, or log files)
+
+### Inline Directives
+
+Test files can include comment directives at the top (before imports) to configure runtime behavior:
+
+```typescript
+// tstest:deno:allowAll
+// tstest:node:flag:--max-old-space-size=4096
+// tstest:env:MY_VAR=value
+import { tap, expect } from '@git.zone/tstest/tapbundle';
+```
+
+Directives in `00init.ts` files apply to all tests in that directory and are merged with per-file directives.
+
+## CLI Usage
+
+```bash
+# Directory mode — scan recursively for test files
+tstest test/
+
+# File mode — run a single test
+tstest test/test.math.ts
+
+# Glob mode — match patterns
+tstest "test/**/*.node.ts"
+```
+
+### Options
+
+| Flag | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `--verbose`, `-v` | Show all console output from tests |
+| `--quiet`, `-q` | Minimal output for CI |
+| `--json` | Machine-readable JSON output |
+| `--logfile` | Write per-file logs to `.nogit/testlogs/` |
+| `--tags <tags>` | Filter tests by comma-separated tags |
+| `--timeout <sec>` | Per-file timeout in seconds |
+| `--startFrom <n>` | Start from file number N |
+| `--stopAt <n>` | Stop at file number N |
+| `--watch`, `-w` | Re-run tests on file changes |
+| `--watch-ignore <pat>` | Comma-separated ignore patterns |
+| `--no-color` | Disable ANSI colors |
+
+## Public API
+
+```typescript
+import { runCli, TestExecutionMode } from '@git.zone/tstest';
+```
+
+| Export | Type | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `runCli()` | `async function` | CLI entry point — parses `process.argv` and runs tests |
+| `TestExecutionMode` | `enum` | `DIRECTORY`, `FILE`, or `GLOB` |
