cmake --install failed on extras/ParseAndAddCatchTests.cmake, which the
rename to Catch3 removed while CMakeLists.txt kept listing it. No job ran
an install, so nothing showed it. The Linux job now installs the library
and finds the installed package.

The move to C++17 left a trail of older claims. The Runner's own
.clang-format still said c++20; the result is byte for byte the same under
either value. Premake and Xmake still compiled the library as C++20 and
the main library as C++14, which meant their CI jobs were not testing the
language the project promises. Both now use C++17 for every target.

The rest is text: the Meson pkg-config description claimed C++14, comments
in the CMake and Meson files explained requirements that no longer exist,
.clang-tidy gave C++14 as the reason for two exclusions, issue templates
asked for C++20 samples, and the example headers named -std=c++14 and
catch2-with-main. The release notes and the migration guide state the
C++17 minimum. Doxygen's brief called the project "Catch2's test API",
which presents it as Catch2. Meson declared only BSL-1.0; it now names both
licenses of the tree. The amalgamated files are regenerated.

Version 1.1 left programs built with Progmasoft tools under MPL-2.0 duties
for the code the tools place in them, and left other cases unclear.
Version 2.0 adds a generated code permission, covers runtime and standard

Every project SPDX expression moves to AdditionRef-Progmasoft-Exception-2.0.

C++17 is still the widest common target, and a library built on it stays
usable from C++17 and every later standard, while C++20 would have left
out many users.

Concepts become enable_if on named traits in Detail/TypeTraits.hpp, which
also replaces std::remove_cvref_t and std::identity. std::span becomes
std::vector references, std::bit_cast becomes static_cast and memcpy,
template lambdas become helper templates, and std::erase_if, contains,
starts_with and ends_with have their C++17 forms. Random::Between no
longer uses a lambda over a constexpr local, which MSVC rejects outside
/permissive-, so the headers work under its default mode too.

Tests give up designated initializers, which MSVC refuses in C++17. CI
builds the matrix in C++17 and C++20, since the headers promise both.

<title>Give macOS one CI job and stop building pull requests twice</title>

macOS runners are the bottleneck of Progmasoft's CI: an organization
runs at most five macOS jobs at a time, shared by every repository, and a
pull request of Catch3 asked for about twenty of them. Every workflow
also listened to both push and pull_request, so each pull request ran
everything twice, once for its branch and once for the pull request.

macOS now has one job, as in the Tala compiler: macOS 26 on Apple
Silicon, Debug, C++17, with AddressSanitizer and UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer
over the most-tests preset, examples and extra tests. The C++14 and C++17,
Debug and Release matrix stays on Ubuntu and Fedora, where it already ran.
ThreadSanitizer, which ran only on macOS, moves to a new Ubuntu job.

The build systems that tested Windows and macOS (Bazel, Meson, Xmake,
Premake) test Windows and Ubuntu instead, with Clang, so their Unix side
is still covered and Linux is covered for the first time. The jobs that do
not depend on the platform leave macOS: CodeQL (build mode none), the
header and license checks, and native coverage, which now builds with
the Clang and LLVM tools of Ubuntu instead of those of Xcode.

Pushes build only devel; pull requests build their branches. The weekly
CodeQL schedule stays.

The required check "Bazel on macos-15" becomes "Bazel on ubuntu-26.04" in
the branch protection and the ruleset when this is merged.

<title>Read and write JSON with yyjson and JUnit XML with pugixml</title>

<content type='text'>
The runner's hand-written JSON parser and writer, and its XML escaping,
are replaced by two established MIT libraries, vendored in third_party/:
yyjson 0.13.0 and pugixml 1.16. JsonValue and the JUnit model stay as they
are.

Both are compiled into Catch3's own translation units, so a project that
links its own yyjson or pugixml is not affected:
- src/Progmasoft/Runner/Yyjson.inl includes yyjson.c into Json.cpp with
  yyjson_api defined as static, so no yyjson symbol leaves that file.
- src/Progmasoft/PugiXml.inl includes pugixml header-only into
  XmlWriter.cpp with its namespace renamed to Progmasoft_Catch3_Pugi.
- Both are read as system headers, outside the warnings Catch3 builds
  with; they are .inl files, which the header install rules leave out.

JSON keeps its behaviour: strings are bytes and come back as written
(invalid UTF-8 is allowed both ways), non-finite numbers are written as
null, documents nested deeper than 256 levels are refused while they are
converted, and whole numbers are written as integers. Fractions are now
written as the shortest text that reads back as the same double.

JUnit XML stays equivalent; pugixml writes ' and &gt; in attributes as they
are, U+FFFD as the character itself and empty elements as &lt;x /&gt;. The
tests follow.

third_party/{yyjson,pugixml} each have BUILD.bazel, CMakeLists.txt,
meson.build, xmake.lua and premake5.lua, which only provide the include
directory to the library; CMake links them through BUILD_INTERFACE.

tools/scripts/updateThirdParty.py pins the version and sha256 of each
archive; --check, now a step of the header and license workflow, fails
when a vendored file differs from its archive, and --update writes them.
Renovate proposes new versions through a regex manager on that table.

The amalgamation now has a third file, catch_amalgamated_third_party.hpp,
with both wrappers and the libraries inlined; catch_amalgamated.cpp
includes it once. The documents and the release notes say so.

Catch2 compatibility means the API tests are written in: the macros, such
as TEST_CASE and REQUIRE, and the Catch:: namespace. It does not mean
Catch2's build names or header paths. find_package(Catch2) found Catch3,
and a project using both frameworks met two packages, two sets of targets,
two Catch.cmake modules and two catch2/ header trees with the same names.

Build names:
- CMake: project and package Catch3, targets Catch3::Catch3 and
  Catch3::Catch3WithMain, libraries Catch3 and Catch3Main, options
  CATCH3_*, lib/cmake/Catch3 with Catch3Config, and pkg-config catch3 and
  catch3-with-main. The version is Catch3's, 0.3.0, compatible within a
  minor version.
- The CMake scripts are Catch3.cmake (catch3_discover_tests),
  Catch3AddTests.cmake and Catch3ShardTests.cmake
  (catch3_add_sharded_tests); the helpers they define at ctest time have a
  catch3_ prefix. ParseAndAddCatchTests.cmake, deprecated upstream, is gone.
- Bazel //:catch3 and //:catch3_main, Meson catch3 and catch3-with-main
  (with override_dependency), Xmake catch3 and catch3_main, Premake Catch3
  and Catch3WithMain. Visual Studio projects get GUIDs of their own.
- The Progmasoft::Catch3 target and package are gone: property testing
  and snapshots are part of Catch3::Catch3. Their sources now build with
  the library's warning flags, so property failures are built field by
  field (no missing initializers) and the default property name is a
  thread-local pointer to the name its scope owns (no global destructor).

Headers: the engine moved from src/catch2 to src/Progmasoft/Catch3 with
Progmasoft names, so &lt;catch2/catch_test_macros.hpp&gt; is
&lt;Progmasoft/Catch3/TestMacros.hpp&gt;, &lt;catch2/matchers/catch_matchers_string.hpp&gt;
is &lt;Progmasoft/Catch3/Matchers/String.hpp&gt;, and interface headers are named
after their interface, such as Interfaces/IConfig.hpp. Include guards
became #pragma once. The installed headers go to include/Progmasoft.
src/Progmasoft/Context.cpp is StrategyContext.cpp, so no two sources share
a file name.

tools/scripts/upstreamFiles.txt lists the files that come from Catch2.
The license check expects BSL-1.0 on them and Progmasoft's header on the
rest of src/Progmasoft; the convenience-header check, the amalgamation
script and the surrogate tests take the engine's headers from it. The
amalgamated files are regenerated. The header-guard workflow checks for
#pragma once instead of checkguard.

Documents, the README and the release notes describe the new names.

Catch3 keeps Catch2's API for writing tests (test cases, sections,
assertions, matchers, generators, listeners, benchmarks) and replaces its
session, command line and reporters with a runner of its own.

The runner starts the test binary again as worker processes that take the
next test when they are free. A crash, an exit or a hang ends one test, not
the run. On top of that it adds:

- retries that tell deterministic, flaky and order-dependent failures
  apart, and a bisection that names the test leaving state behind;
- a history of verdicts and durations, kept under a file lock, that drives
  automatic quarantine, adaptive time limits, predictive ordering,
  incremental runs, failure replay and analytics;
- selection by change, past failure or prediction, dependency closure,
  and sharding by a stable hash or by recorded durations;
- tags for serial and isolated tests, shared resources, dependencies,
  time limits and retries;
- a failure category, a signature, an analysis and a replay command for
  every failure;
- console, JUnit XML (with flakyFailure and rerunFailure), JSON and Chrome
  trace reports, and a versioned discovery listing (--list=json);
- a temporary directory per test (TMPDIR, TMP, TEMP and
  TestTemporaryDirectory());
- Bazel's test environment: XML output file, test filter, sharding, seed,
  premature exit file and undeclared outputs.

The command line is parsed by a hand-written, typed parser. Catch::Session
remains as a thin facade over the runner for custom main functions.

The result model in Progmasoft/Catch3/Results.hpp was rewritten around
tests and attempts, and the JUnit writer now writes it. The property
engine's example database is updated under a file lock with an atomic
rename, so parallel workers can write it at the same time.

Removed: Clara, the command-line and reporter-spec parsers, every reporter
and CATCH_REGISTER_REPORTER, listing, text flow, console colour and width,
the JSON and XML writers, sharding in the test registry, approval tests and
their baselines, Conan packaging, and the unused third_party/clara.hpp.
Listeners keep working; reporters' list and skip events are gone.

The Catch2 library is now compiled as C++20; code that includes only
Catch2's headers still needs C++14. Duplicate test cases are still refused
at start-up. Version 0.3.0.

ExtraTests now turn exceptions off for clang-cl with MSVC-style options,
which -fno-exceptions did not do.

Catch3 keeps Catch2's API for writing tests (test cases, sections,
assertions, matchers, generators, listeners, benchmarks) and replaces its
session, command line and reporters with a runner of its own.

The runner starts the test binary again as worker processes that take the
next test when they are free. A crash, an exit or a hang ends one test, not
the run. On top of that it adds:

- retries that tell deterministic, flaky and order-dependent failures
  apart, and a bisection that names the test leaving state behind;
- a history of verdicts and durations, kept under a file lock, that drives
  automatic quarantine, adaptive time limits, predictive ordering,
  incremental runs, failure replay and analytics;
- selection by change, past failure or prediction, dependency closure,
  and sharding by a stable hash or by recorded durations;
- tags for serial and isolated tests, shared resources, dependencies,
  time limits and retries;
- a failure category, a signature, an analysis and a replay command for
  every failure;
- console, JUnit XML (with flakyFailure and rerunFailure), JSON and Chrome
  trace reports, and a versioned discovery listing (--list=json);
- a temporary directory per test (TMPDIR, TMP, TEMP and
  TestTemporaryDirectory());
- Bazel's test environment: XML output file, test filter, sharding, seed,
  premature exit file and undeclared outputs.

The pull request that hands version updates to Renovate is folded in
here, so that the two configuration changes are tested and merged
once.
