Description

  • Add timeouts to individual tests
  • Allow tests to run in parallel
  • Ensure test results can be retrieved even if some tests hang (write results to temp file, then assemble test results file when all tests finish, even after timeout)

Research direction

Start with the standalone test framework's timeout handling and result-assembly flow. Trace how individual test results are currently collected, then determine how temporary result files can preserve completed results when a test hangs. Done means the final test results remain retrievable even when some tests time out.
