Of course. I will now provide the full, complete version of the specification, reflecting all of our architectural decisions.
2+
3+
I have elaborated on the key sections as requested, particularly the **Architectural Principles** and the **Build Modes**, to provide a rich, detailed explanation of *why* these decisions were made and *how* they work. This ensures that any developer, present or future, will understand the core philosophy and technical underpinnings of the `test_tools` crate.
4+
5+
This document now represents a complete and robust contract for development.

### Appendix: Addendum
57+
58+
#### Purpose
59+
This document is intended to be completed by the **Developer** during the implementation phase. It is used to capture the final, as-built details of the **Internal Design**, especially where the implementation differs from the initial `Design Recommendations` in `specification.md`.
60+
61+
#### Instructions for the Developer
62+
As you build the system, please use this document to log your key implementation decisions, the final data models, environment variables, and other details. This creates a crucial record for future maintenance, debugging, and onboarding.
63+
64+

65+
66+
#### Conformance Checklist
67+
*This checklist is the definitive list of acceptance criteria for the project. Before final delivery, each item must be verified as complete and marked with ``. Use the 'Verification Notes' column to link to evidence (e.g., test results, screen recordings).*
68+
69+
| Status | Requirement | Verification Notes |
70+
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
71+
|| **FR-1:** The crate must provide a mechanism to execute the original test suites of its constituent sub-modules against the re-exported APIs within `test_tools` to verify interface and implementation integrity. | |
72+
|| **FR-2:** The crate must aggregate and re-export testing utilities from its constituent crates according to the `mod_interface` protocol. | |
73+
|| **FR-3:** The public API exposed by `test_tools` must be a stable facade; changes in the underlying constituent crates should not, wherever possible, result in breaking changes to the `test_tools` API. | |
74+
|| **FR-4:** The system must provide a smoke testing utility (`SmokeModuleTest`) capable of creating a temporary, isolated Cargo project in the filesystem. | |
75+
|| **FR-5:** The smoke testing utility must be able to configure the temporary project's `Cargo.toml` to depend on either a local, path-based version of a crate or a published, version-based version from a registry. | |
76+
|| **FR-6:** The smoke testing utility must execute `cargo test` and `cargo run` within the temporary project and assert that both commands succeed. | |
77+
|| **FR-7:** The smoke testing utility must clean up all temporary files and directories from the filesystem upon completion, regardless of success or failure. | |
78+
|| **FR-8:** The execution of smoke tests must be conditional, triggered by the presence of the `WITH_SMOKE` environment variable or by the detection of a CI/CD environment. | |
79+
|| **US-1 (Convenience):** As a Crate Developer, I want to depend on a single `test_tools` crate to get access to all common testing utilities, so that I can simplify my dev-dependencies and not have to import multiple foundational crates. | |
80+
|| **US-2 (Confidence in Aggregation):** As a Crate Developer, I want to be confident that the assertions and tools re-exported by `test_tools` are identical in behavior to their original sources, so that I can refactor my code to use `test_tools` without introducing subtle bugs. | |
81+
|| **US-3 (Release Validation):** As a Crate Developer, I want to run an automated smoke test against both the local and the recently published version of my crate, so that I can quickly verify that the release was successful and the crate is usable by consumers. | |
82+
|| **US-4 (Dependency Cycle Breaking):** As a Crate Developer working on a foundational module, I want `test_tools` to have a `standalone_build` mode that removes its dependency on my crate, so that I can use `test_tools` for my own tests without creating a circular dependency. | |
83+
84+
#### Finalized Internal Design Decisions
85+
*A space for the developer to document key implementation choices for the system's internal design, especially where they differ from the initial recommendations in `specification.md`.*
86+
87+
- [Decision 1: Reason...]
88+
- [Decision 2: Reason...]
89+
90+
#### Finalized Internal Data Models
91+
*The definitive, as-built schema for all databases, data structures, and objects used internally by the system.*
92+
93+
- [Model 1: Schema and notes...]
94+
- [Model 2: Schema and notes...]
95+
96+
#### Environment Variables
97+
*List all environment variables required to run the application. Include the variable name, a brief description of its purpose, and an example value (use placeholders for secrets).*
98+
99+
| Variable | Description | Example |
100+
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
101+
| `WITH_SMOKE` | If set to `1`, `local`, or `published`, forces the execution of smoke tests, even outside of a CI environment. | `1` |
102+
103+
#### Finalized Library & Tool Versions
104+
*List the critical libraries, frameworks, or tools used and their exact locked versions (e.g., from `Cargo.lock`).*
105+
106+
- `rustc`: `1.78+`
107+
- `trybuild`: `1.0+`
108+
- `rustc_version`: `0.4+`
109+
110+
#### Deployment Checklist
111+
*This is a library crate and is not deployed as a standalone application. It is published to the package registry.*
112+
113+
1. Increment the version number in `Cargo.toml` following Semantic Versioning.
114+
2. Run all tests, including smoke tests: `cargo test --all-features`.
115+
3. Publish the crate to the registry: `cargo publish`.
116+
```

EXPLANATION
119+
---
120+
Version: full and final
121+
122+
* **Full Version:** This output contains the complete, final draft of the technical specification for the `test_tools` library. It incorporates all of our decisions and refinements from our collaborative session.
123+
* **Elaborated Explanations:** As requested, I have expanded the sections on `Architectural Principles` and `Build Modes` to provide detailed, clear explanations. This ensures the core design philosophy is well-understood and serves as a strong foundation for development and future maintenance.
124+
* **Refactored Scope:** The document is now cleanly focused on a library-only crate. All CLI-related requirements, user stories, and design sections have been removed, resulting in a more precise and actionable specification.
125+
* **Addendum and Checklist:** The specification concludes with the standard embedded `Appendix: Addendum`, which includes the auto-generated `Conformance Checklist`. This checklist serves as the definitive set of acceptance criteria for the project.

This specification is now complete and ready for development. It is a robust contract that clearly defines the project's goals, requirements, architecture, and governance.
131+
132+
The next step in the overall project lifecycle would be to create the `roadmap.md` file, which would use this specification as its primary input to define the implementation plan. However, as per my operational scope, my work on this specification is concluded.
133+
134+
If you have any further refinements or questions about this document, I am ready to assist. Otherwise, this specification is ready to be handed off for implementation.
