# G-161 tcltestrun failure parsing robust to multi-line test descriptions
Status: proposed
Status: active
Scope: src/modules/punk/tcltestrun-999999.0a1.0.tm (parse_testrun failure-banner state machine); src/tests/runner/ (parser characterization suite - synthetic captured-output + end-to-end failing-fixture coverage); src/tests/AGENTS.md (single-line-description contract note relaxed to style guidance once tolerated)
Goal: a failing tcltest whose description contains embedded newlines is reported with full fidelity - failure event with name and description, result_was/result_expected, and every subsequent event including the summary line - instead of the parser missing the multi-line opening banner, misreading the closing banner as an opener, and wedging in failure-capture state so the file degrades to warn/missing-cleanupTests with no failure detail.
Acceptance: a committed runner suite covers both a synthetic captured-output fixture (multi-line-description failure followed by passes and a summary line, parsed to the correct event set) and an end-to-end fixture .test file whose deliberately failing multi-line-description test is reported by runtests.tcl as status=FAILED with actual/expected populated and a trusted summary (summaryline_detected=1, correct totals) in BOTH single-process and multi-process modes; single-line-description failure reports keep their existing shape, verified by scriptlib/developer/runtests_parity.tcl comparing -report json output of an identical full-suite run before and after the change; the src/tests/AGENTS.md single-line-description bullet is updated to style guidance reflecting the new tolerance.
