Development

• everything vendored into 1 gem to avoid dependency madness
• tested via rspec to avoid messing up our own tests by accident
• fixes should go back to the original libraries
• restrictive minitest dependency so nothing breaks by accident
• ruby >=3.0
• rake bundle to update all vendored gems

Author

• running by line number from minitest-line
• around from minitest-around
• mtest from testrbl
• red-green from minitest-rg
