 # Completed Steps
 
+- 2026-09-21: rewrote `script/test` to the canonical pattern (30s timeout,
+  `-race -cover`, quiet-first with verbose-on-failure rerun) and fixed the
+  process-global logger data race it surfaced (#67)
 - 2026-09-21: added the canonical `.editorconfig`, made `.gitignore` cover
   secrets, OS, editor, and Go artifacts, and removed the dead Drone CI
   references from `.gitignore` and `bin/gitrev.sh` (#72)
