This is a massive upgrade from version 5.8.0 to 18.0.0, spanning 13 major versions and a complete architectural overhaul of the tap testing framework. A direct upgrade is not possible without a significant migration effort, as nearly every aspect of the library has changed.

Key Breaking Changes:

• Architecture and Modularity: The framework was rewritten in TypeScript and now uses a plugin-based architecture. Core functionalities like assertions (@tapjs/asserts), lifecycle hooks (@tapjs/before-each), and even TypeScript support are now managed as plugins.
• Configuration:
  • Configuration loading is stricter. All temporary files, including coverage and process info, are now stored in a single .tap directory.
  • The tap config command replaces the --dump-config flag.
  • Filtering tests via test-regexp and test-ignore has been replaced with include and exclude glob patterns.
• Coverage Enforcement: Code coverage checking is enabled by default in version 18. Builds will fail if coverage does not meet the threshold (defaulting to 100%), which is a major change from older versions.
• API and Globals:
  • Mocha-style globals (describe, it) are no longer available by default. They have been moved to the @tapjs/mocha-globals plugin and must be explicitly configured.
  • Assertion synonyms (e.g., t.is_not_equal) have been deprecated and removed.
  • t.beforeEach and t.afterEach no longer accept callback arguments and now require returning a promise for async operations.
• CLI Changes: The tap --watch command has been replaced by the new tap repl command.
• Node.js Support: Support for Node.js versions below 10 was dropped.

Recommendation: This upgrade cannot be performed without a thorough migration. Developers must review the official upgrading guide, refactor test configurations, update test files to use modern APIs and promise-based patterns, and address the new default coverage requirements. Treat this as a rewrite of the test suite.
