catch3/docs/upstream-status.md, branch feature/cpp-tools Progmasoft Catch3: an independently maintained C++17 test framework with a parallel runner, property checks, snapshots and structured results. Move the tools from Python to C++17 and Bazel 2026-11-01T19:16:14+00:00 Leitwolf11 2026-11-01T19:16:14+00:00 da3c9d0880dbd4a74e0e43f092d10f5ae42c5043 The scripts in use become programs run with `bazelisk run //tools:<tool>`, and arguments follow `--`: amalgamate the single-file distribution; --check only compares it check licenses, convenience headers, header guards, file names, versions and whether the distribution is up to date third-party compares third_party/ with its archives, or writes it version prints the version, or moves every place that states it release-notes prints a section of the release notes repo-info reports the checkout and the tools on PATH; --json writes it through yyjson, with the fields of Tala's repo-info amalgamate writes what the Python script wrote, byte for byte, except for the time of generation. That line is gone so that the output is deterministic and --check can compare it. MODULE.bazel now pins the archives of third_party/ by version and sha256, so Bazel fetches and checks them instead of a tool of ours, and Renovate reads the versions there. Scripts nobody used are gone: fixWhitespace, updateDocumentSnippets, buildAndTest, and updateDocumentToC, which rewrote unrelated documents. CheckConvenienceHeaders leaves CTest, since //tools:check runs it in CI. The Python of tests/TestScripts stays: those are tests, not tools. 
The scripts in use become programs run with `bazelisk run //tools:<tool>`,
and arguments follow `--`:

  amalgamate     the single-file distribution; --check only compares it
  check          licenses, convenience headers, header guards, file names,
                 versions and whether the distribution is up to date
  third-party    compares third_party/ with its archives, or writes it
  version        prints the version, or moves every place that states it
  release-notes  prints a section of the release notes
  repo-info      reports the checkout and the tools on PATH; --json writes
                 it through yyjson, with the fields of Tala's repo-info

amalgamate writes what the Python script wrote, byte for byte, except for
the time of generation. That line is gone so that the output is
deterministic and --check can compare it.

Merge devel into the platforms branch 2026-10-11T07:11:18+00:00 Leitwolf11 2026-10-11T07:11:18+00:00 e7aa5ff697a27f140136d3643322301c3a811a69 devel gained the Catch2 3.16.1 backport, which dropped the retired macos-14 runner from the same line this branch changes. The macOS builds run on macos-15 and macos-26, as this branch has them. The upstream status names the platforms that are now the gate. 
devel gained the Catch2 3.16.1 backport, which dropped the retired
macos-14 runner from the same line this branch changes. The macOS
builds run on macos-15 and macos-26, as this branch has them. The
upstream status names the platforms that are now the gate.

The amalgamated distribution under extras/ conflicted because it is generated; it is generated again from the sources of this repository, which also brings it up to date with fork changes it had not picked up: the list-based stream pool, the Clang diagnostic boundary and the cassert include. No file under src/Progmasoft changes. The fork-owned texts that name the engine version say 3.16.1, and docs/upstream-status.md records the review. Upstream files keep their names, licenses and compiler options. Built with Clang 22 on Windows and tested: 148 of 149 tests pass. The one that fails, Reporters::CrashInJunitReporter, fails the same way on devel without this change with that compiler. 
Review Catch2 devel through 08092139210881f01a34e60c5f2fd6afa0ea4024,
the commit of 3.16.1, and apply the eleven changes since the last
reviewed revision in upstream order:

  d7683484  better message when a reporter cannot be initialized
  ea5020f0  custom argument validation in every first-party reporter
  aa01559e  throwing-reporter test also throws in assertionEnded
  45cd3987  noexcept on handleUnexpectedInflightException
  6adbd539  MSVC optimizations enabled again after the benchmark headers
  e87f2882  no quadratic scaling for NTTP test registration
  73d546cd  REQUIRE expands its arguments fewer times under GCC and Clang
  b710039a  decomposer operators as plain functions
  f899467b  type-erased streaming of reconstructed expressions
  8f0e70ca  retired macos-14 runner dropped
  08092139  version 3.16.1 and its release notes

All of them applied to the sources without a conflict. The amalgamated
distribution under extras/ conflicted because it is generated; it is
generated again from the sources of this repository, which also brings
it up to date with fork changes it had not picked up: the list-based
stream pool, the Clang diagnostic boundary and the cassert include.

No file under src/Progmasoft changes. The fork-owned texts that name
the engine version say 3.16.1, and docs/upstream-status.md records the
review. Upstream files keep their names, licenses and compiler options.

Built with Clang 22 on Windows and tested: 148 of 149 tests pass. The
one that fails, Reporters::CrashInJunitReporter, fails the same way on
devel without this change with that compiler.
