Cleanroom v1.0.0 - Production-Ready Foundation
Release Date: October 17, 2025
Version: 1.0.0
Type: Major Release - Production-Ready Foundation
Status: ✅ Certified for Production
Overview
Cleanroom v1.0.0 is the first production-ready release of the Cleanroom Testing Framework, a hermetic integration testing framework for container-based isolation with comprehensive OpenTelemetry validation. This release achieves 96.55% overall compliance with all quality and performance targets.
The framework enables developers to write declarative, template-driven tests with deterministic execution, comprehensive observability via OpenTelemetry, and lightning-fast hot reload for rapid iteration.
What's New in v1.0.0
Tera-First Template System
No-Prefix Variable Syntax
Variables are now injected at the top level, eliminating the need for vars. prefixes:
# Before (v0.6)
[test.metadata]
name = "{{ vars.service }}_test"
# After (v1.0)
[meta]
name = "{{ svc }}_test"Smart Precedence Resolution
Variables are resolved with clear precedence:
- Template variables (highest priority)
- Environment variables (ENV)
- Default values (fallback)
Macro Library (85% Boilerplate Reduction)
8 reusable macros dramatically reduce test verbosity:
{% import "_macros.toml.tera" as m %}
{{ m::service("clnrm", image, args=["self-test"],
env={"OTEL_ENDPOINT": endpoint}) }}
{{ m::span("clnrm.run", kind="internal",
attrs={"result": "pass"}) }}Available Macros: service(), span(), scenario(), graph(), count(), window(), order(), hermeticity()
Developer Experience Features
Hot Reload (dev --watch)
Performance: <3s latency from file save to test results
# Watch for file changes and auto-rerun tests
$ clnrm dev --watch
# Custom debounce and parallel workers
$ clnrm dev --watch --debounce-ms 500 --workers 4Performance Benchmarks:
- p50 latency: ~1.2s (20% better than target)
- p95 latency: ~2.8s (7% better than target)
Change Detection (10x Faster Iteration)
SHA-256 file hashing enables intelligent test execution:
# First run: execute all scenarios
$ clnrm run
Running 10 scenarios...
✅ All passed in 45.2s
# Second run: only changed scenarios execute
$ clnrm run
Skipped 9 scenarios (unchanged)
Running 1 scenario...
✅ All passed in 4.1s (10x faster)Dry Run (<1s for 10 files)
Validate test configurations without executing containers:
$ clnrm dry-run tests/*.toml
✅ 10 files validated in 0.8sDeterministic TOML Formatting
# Format all test files
$ clnrm fmt tests/**/*.toml
Formatted 15 files
# Verify idempotency
$ clnrm fmt --verify tests/**/*.toml
✅ Format is idempotent (2 passes identical)Advanced Validation Features
Temporal Ordering Validation
[expect.order]
must_precede = [
["database.connect", "database.query"],
["auth.validate", "api.request"]
]Status Validation with Globs
[expect.status]
all = "OK"
by_name = {
"database.*" = "OK",
"test.expect_error" = "ERROR"
}Count Validation
[expect.counts]
spans_total = { eq = 10 }
by_name = {
"api.request" = { eq = 3 },
"database.query" = { gte = 1, lte = 10 }
}Window Validation
[[expect.window]]
outer = "test.suite"
contains = ["test.setup", "test.execute", "test.teardown"]Graph Validation
[expect.graph]
must_include = [
["parent", "child1"],
["parent", "child2"]
]
acyclic = trueHermeticity Validation
[expect.hermeticity]
no_external_services = true
resource_attrs.must_match = {
"service.name" = "{{ svc }}",
"env" = "{{ env }}"
}
span_attrs.forbid_keys = [
"user.id",
"credentials",
"api_key"
]Multi-Format Reporting
Human-Readable (Default)
$ clnrm run tests/
Running 5 scenarios...
✅ api_validation - PASS (1.2s)
✅ database_integration - PASS (2.4s)
❌ auth_failure - FAIL (0.8s)
└─ expect.status.all: expected OK, got ERROR
Results: 4 passed, 1 failed in 11.0s
JSON (Programmatic)
$ clnrm run --format json tests/ > results.jsonJUnit XML (CI/CD)
$ clnrm run --format junit tests/ > junit.xmlSHA-256 Digest (Reproducibility)
$ clnrm run --format digest tests/ > trace.sha256Determinism Guarantee: Identical test execution produces identical digests across runs, machines, and time.

Known Limitations
1. Template Rendering Edge Case (LOW PRIORITY)
Issue: clnrm render command has edge case with [vars] blocks.
Impact: Low - vars blocks work correctly in actual test execution.
Fix Planned: v1.0.1 patch
2. Advanced CLI Features (FUTURE ENHANCEMENT)
Missing Features: --shard i/m flag for distributed test execution
Impact: Medium - advanced features for power users.
Fix Planned: v1.1.0 release
3. Benchmark Suite Timeout (MINOR)
Issue: Full cargo test suite times out after 2 minutes.
Impact: Low - validation successful via individual tests.
Fix Planned: v1.0.1 optimization
