Adding a some TUM template used to validate the JSON schema

Two new steps per language: function returning nothing and function
returning explicit nil/None. Both tagged $(test)_PASS — they would
have failed before the lua nil fix (Lua side reported nil result as
error). Python side already worked but is covered for parity.

+
+## How to contribute
+
+1. Open an issue describing the change you want to make (bug, feature, doc).
+2. Fork the repository, create a topic branch.
+3. Commit with a clear message (one logical change per commit).
+4. Make sure the validation suite still passes:
+   ```
+   ./run.sh -b -- test/validation/main.tum
+   ```
+5. Open a pull request against `main`.
+
+## Coding conventions
+
+- Python ≥ 3.11
+- Follow existing style in the file you are modifying
+- Add or update tests in `test/validation/` for new test items or behaviours
+- Update `CLAUDE.md` and the Sphinx manual for user-visible changes
+
+## Development
+
+### Debugging in VSCode
+
+The recommended workflow:
+
+1. Add a debug configuration to `.vscode/launch.json`:
+   ```json
+   {
+       "configurations": [
+           {
+               "name": "Python : testium",
+               "type": "python",
+               "request": "launch",
+               "program": "${workspaceFolder}/src/testium",
+               "console": "integratedTerminal",
+               "args": ["-g"],
+               "justMyCode": true
+           }
+       ]
+   }
+   ```
+2. Install `debugpy` in the venv: `python -m pip install debugpy`.
+3. Open the *Run and Debug* tab and press play. testium starts; load and
+   run a `.tum` file. Set breakpoints where you want to investigate.
+
+### Qt GUI modification
+
+UI files (`*.ui`) are edited in **Qt Creator**. After editing, regenerate
+the corresponding Python and resource files:
+
+```sh
+scripts/qt_generate.sh
+```
+
+Icons come from <https://github.com/free-icons/free-icons>.
+
+### Sphinx documentation
+
+```sh
+pip install sphinx linuxdoc
+doc/manual/sphinx/build_doc.sh
+```
+
+PDF generation requires `texlive`:
+
+```sh
+sudo apt install texlive-full
+```
+
+### Validation suite
+
+Batch mode (CI-friendly, headless):
+
+```sh
+./run.sh -b -- test/validation/main.tum
+```
+
+GUI mode (loads the suite, click *Run* to execute and inspect the tree):
+
+```sh
+./run.sh test/validation/main.tum
+```
+
+GUI run-and-close (executes the suite, then closes):
+
+```sh
+./run.sh -r -- test/validation/main.tum
+```
+
+Subset run via the `items` define (works in any mode):
+
+```sh
+./run.sh -b -d "items=['parallel','common']" -- test/validation/main.tum
+```
+
+### Cross-distribution check
+
+`package/deb/test_distro.sh` spins up a Docker/Podman container of the
+target image, installs the expected system Python deps via apt (with
+pip fallback for what is missing), installs the testium wheel and runs
+the validation suite end-to-end. Currently green on `debian:bookworm`,
+`debian:trixie`, `ubuntu:24.04`.
+
+```sh
+./package/deb/test_distro.sh debian:trixie
+```
+
+## Release procedure
+
+1. Update `release_note.txt`.
+2. Bump the version in `src/VERSION`.
+3. Make sure the documentation is up to date — rebuild with
+   `doc/manual/sphinx/build_doc.sh` if needed.
+4. Push and tag the commit with the new version.
+5. Build the binary release: `package/pyinstaller/build.sh`.
+6. Run the validation suite against each generated binary.
+7. Confirm all validation results are green before publishing.
+
+## Reporting security issues
+
+Please do **not** report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub
+issues. Instead, send an email to the project maintainer directly.

+# Testium — Design Context
+
+## What is testium
+
+Testium is a test sequencer/runner written in Python. It executes YAML-based test scripts ("`.tum`" files) and supports two execution modes:
+
+- **GUI mode** (default, no flag): PySide6 Qt application (`src/testium/main_win/`)
+- **Batch mode** (`-b` / `--batch-execution`): headless, non-interactive, runs tests and exits
+
+Run from repo root: `./run.sh` (Linux) or `run.bat` / `run.ps1` (Windows).  
+Direct invocation: `python3 -m src/testium [-b] <test_file.tum>`
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Entry point
+`src/testium/__init__.py` — parses CLI args, dispatches to the two modes.  
+`multiprocessing.set_start_method('spawn')` is called early (required for Linux dialog subprocesses).
+
+### Core execution
+- `src/testium/interpreter/process.py` — `TestProcess(multiprocessing.Process)`: runs the test in a child process. Stdout is redirected via a `StringQueue` → pipe → parent thread (`capture_stdout`) that writes to real stdout.
+- `src/testium/interpreter/batch.py` — `Batch`: parent-side orchestrator for `-b` mode. Creates the `msg_queue`, starts `TestProcess`, waits for the "finished" signal.
+- `src/testium/interpreter/test_set.py` — `TestSet`: builds and executes the tree of test items.
+- `src/testium/interpreter/test_items/test_item*.py` — one file per test item type (check, cycle, group, let, unittest, py_func, lua_func, console, git, dialogs, report, parallel, …).
+
+### Communication channels (parent ↔ child process)
+- `msg_queue` (`multiprocessing.Queue`): carries status messages from child to parent.
+  - Item status: `{"id": <non-None>, "name": ..., "status": "started"|"finished", ...}`
+  - Global dict updates: `{"type": "gd_update"|"gd_delete", "key": ..., "value": ...}` — **no "id" key**
+  - Process finished: `{"id": None, "name": "test_process", "status": "finished"}` — id key present but `None`
+- `tst_ctrl` (`TestSetController`): sends control commands (execute, stop, pause, close, …) from parent to child.
+- stdout pipe (`multiprocessing.Pipe`): streams test output from child back to parent's `capture_stdout` thread.
+
+### Stdout pipeline (batch mode)
+```
+test item print()
+  → sys.stdout (StringQueue, in child)
+  → send_stdout thread (child) → pipe → capture_stdout thread (parent)
+  → print() → sys.stdout (TermLog wrapping real stdout, in parent)
+  → terminal
+```
+
+### Global dictionary
+`src/testium/interpreter/utils/globdict.py` — shared state accessible from test scripts via `tm.gd()` / `tm.setgd()`. When `set_update_queue()` is active (during test execution), every `setgd`/`delgd` on a non-`_`-prefixed key pushes a message to `msg_queue`.
+
+### Coloring (`-o` disables it)
+`src/testium/interpreter/utils/termlog.py` — `TermLog` wraps stdout with colorama-based line coloring (PASS=green, FAIL=red, WARN=yellow, …). Applied in parent process for batch mode. Auto-detects light/dark terminal background via (in order): `COLORFGBG` env var, OSC 11 query, default dark.
+
+### Dialog items in batch mode
+All dialog items (`dialog_image`, `dialog_question`, `dialog_references`, `dialog_value`, `dialog_message`, `dialog_choices`, `dialog_note`) follow this rule in non-interactive text mode (`-b`):
+- `auto_result` defined in the `.tum` → result controlled by it (`ok`/`yes` → SUCCESS, `cancel`/`no` → FAIL)
+- `auto_result` absent → FAIL with `"Dialog not supported in batch mode"`
+- `sleep dialog: true` → exception: just sleeps normally, no GUI, no failure
+
+`auto_result` (and `auto_value` for value/note dialogs) is intended for the validation test suite (`test/validation/`) only.
+
+### `parallel` item
+`src/testium/interpreter/test_items/test_item_parallel.py` — runs multiple branches concurrently.
+
+```yaml
+- parallel:
+    name: My parallel block
+    sync: all        # all: wait for all; any: stop as soon as one finishes
+    no_fail: true    # (optional) don't propagate branch failures to parent
+    branches:
+      - name: Branch A
+        wait_for:              # (optional) poll condition before starting
+          condition: <| expr |>
+          timeout: 10
+        steps:
+          - ...
+      - name: Branch B
+        steps:
+          - ...
+```
+
+- `TestItemParallel(TestItemContainer)`: mutates `dict_item["steps"]` to inject synthetic `parallel_branch` items so `load_test_recursively` loads branches normally as children.
+- `TestItemParallelBranch(TestItemContainer)`: container for one branch. `wait_for` polls every 0.1s up to `timeout` seconds before running steps.
+- `sync: any` calls `_stop_branch_recursively()` on all other branches when one *actually runs* (SUCCESS/FAILURE). A `NORUN` branch (disabled, condition not met) never wins the race.
+- Each branch runs in a daemon thread; the parent waits with `.join()`.
+- Branches stopped late (e.g. user disabled them in the GUI, or another sync:any branch already won) go through the normal `branch.stop() + branch.execute()` path so they always produce a clean DB entry via `addTest()`.
+- Exceptions raised in a branch's `execute()` are caught by `run_branch`, logged to stdout, and converted to a `FAILURE` result so they never disappear silently.
+- `sync: all` ignores `NORUN` branches when computing success (matches Group/Cycle semantics): only an actual `FAILURE` fails the parallel.
+- `TestItemSleep` is interruptible (polls `self._is_stopped` in a loop) so `sync: any` can stop slow branches quickly. `py_func` and `console` items are not interruptible; their full duration is observed before the branch returns.
+
+### `TestItemContainer` base class
+`src/testium/interpreter/test_items/test_item_container.py` — shared base for Group, Cycle, Parallel, and ParallelBranch. Provides `_run_children_sequentially()` which handles stop-on-failure, `executedOnStop` items, and returns `(TestResult, stopped_bool)`.
+
+### Report threading
+`src/testium/interpreter/test_report/test_report.py` — SQLite report with thread-safe writes:
+- `sqlite3.connect(..., check_same_thread=False)`
+- `self._lock = threading.Lock()` guards the SQLite `INSERT` only.
+- Per-item log capture (`stdio_redir.read()`) is naturally race-free thanks to per-thread buffers (see `StdoutProxy`).
+
+### Thread-aware stdout (`StdoutProxy`)
+`src/testium/runtime/stdout_redirect.py` — when `log_stored: True`, `intercept()` installs a `StdoutProxy` as `sys.stdout`/`sys.stderr` instead of a single shared `StringQueue`. The proxy:
+- Holds one `StringQueue` per thread (registered via `register_thread(buffer=...)`). The main thread uses a default buffer; each parallel branch's thread registers its own at start and unregisters at end. `stdio_redir.read()` reads the calling thread's buffer → `addTest()` of an item running in branch X reads X's clean, non-interleaved output.
+- For the live stream (terminal in batch / GUI panel), prefixes every line emitted from a branch's thread with `[<branch_name>] ` so concurrent branches stay readable.
+- Exposes `write` / `writeln` / `flush` (Python 3.14's `unittest` calls `stream.writeln()` directly without `_WritelnDecorator`).
+
+### Subprocess API contract (py_func / lua_func)
+
+User test scripts running inside a `py_func` or `lua_func` subprocess **must** use the JSON-RPC bridge to interact with testium state:
+
+- Python: `import py_func.tm as tm` — auto-generates wrappers for every function in `runtime/api.py:SUPPORTED_API`. `tm.gd`/`tm.setgd`/`tm.delgd` go through JSON-RPC to the parent.
+- Lua: `local tm = require("tm")` — same idea on the Lua side.
+
+`api.testium` is the *main-process* implementation; it is **not** exposed to subprocesses by design (not bundled in PyInstaller, not on the subprocess `PYTHONPATH` in pip-installed mode either when isolation is preserved). An import attempt from a subprocess script is a code smell and is detected by `test/validation/items/isolation/`.
+
+To add a new API call usable from subprocesses:
+1. Add the function to `api/testium.py`
+2. Add its name to `SUPPORTED_API` in `runtime/api.py`
+3. It is auto-exposed via JSON-RPC by `interpreter/utils/api_srv.py` and auto-wrapped by `py_func/tm.py:_make_api`
+
+### External interpreter resolution (`bins.py`)
+`src/testium/interpreter/utils/bins.py` — single source of truth for the paths to the external Python and Lua interpreters used by subprocesses.
+
+- `python_bin()` / `lua_bin()` : resolve once, cache in memory. User can override via the `python_bin` / `lua_bin` global dict keys (typically populated from the YAML config). Falls back to discovery on PATH (candidates: `python3`/`python` and `lua`/`lua5.5`/`lua5.4`/`lua5.3`/`lua5.2`/`lua5.1`).
+- `ensure(*names)` : called by `TestSet._validate_runtime_deps()` at test load. Always requires `python` (the eval engine always runs); requires `lua` only if a `lua_func` item is in the tree. Fails fast with a clear error citing tried candidates and override key.
+
+Engines (`PyProcessBase`, `LuaProcessBase`, `EvalExecEngine`) call `bins.python_bin()`/`bins.lua_bin()` themselves — call sites never pass an explicit binary path.
+
+## Key files
+
+| Path | Role |
+|------|------|
+| `src/testium/__init__.py` | CLI entry, mode dispatch |
+| `src/testium/interpreter/batch.py` | `-b` mode orchestrator |
+| `src/testium/interpreter/process.py` | Child test process |
+| `src/testium/interpreter/test_set.py` | Test tree builder/executor |
+| `src/testium/interpreter/test_items/test_item_container.py` | Base class for container items |
+| `src/testium/interpreter/test_items/test_item_parallel.py` | `parallel` and `parallel_branch` items |
+| `src/testium/interpreter/utils/globdict.py` | Global variable dict |
+| `src/testium/interpreter/utils/termlog.py` | Terminal color output |
+| `src/testium/runtime/stdout_redirect.py` | `StdioRedirect` singleton (`stdio_redir`) |
+| `src/testium/runtime/string_queue.py` | Thread-safe string buffer used for stdout redirection |
+| `src/testium/api/testium.py` | Public API for test scripts (`tm.*`) |
+| `src/testium/py_func/` | Python subprocess for `py_func` items (sandboxed: imports only `runtime/` and `py_func/`) |
+| `src/testium/lua_func/` | Lua subprocess scripts for `lua_func` items |
+
+## Package layout
+
+The whole project is a single Python package under `src/testium/`:
+
+```
+src/testium/
+├── __init__.py / __main__.py
+├── runtime/      internal plumbing (jrpc, stdout_redirect, string_queue, tum_except, api)
+├── api/          public SDK exposed to test scripts (`import api.testium as tm`)
+├── interpreter/  test execution engine (NOT visible to py_func/lua_func)
+├── main_win/     GUI (NOT visible to py_func/lua_func)
+├── py_func/      subprocess code for python_func items
+└── lua_func/     subprocess scripts for lua_func items (data files)
+```
+
+`subproc_path()` and `testium_path()` both return the package directory. The py_func subprocess is launched with cwd=that directory and `python3 py_func`. The contract that `py_func/` and `lua_func/` only depend on `runtime/` (no `interpreter`, `main_win`, `api`, `testium`) is enforced by `test/validation/items/isolation/`.
+
+## GUI icons (main_win)
+
+Icons live in `src/testium/main_win/resources/` with three theme variants:
+
+| Folder | Theme index | Usage |
+|--------|-------------|-------|
+| `color/` | 0 (default) | Coloured icons |
+| `black/` | 1 | Black silhouette on transparent |
+| `white/` | 2 | White silhouette on transparent (LA mode) |
+
+Icons are **64×64 PNG**. Black variants: RGBA with RGB=`(0,0,0)`, alpha varies. White variants: LA with luminance=`255`, alpha varies.
+
+The mapping item-type → icon filename is in `_ITEM_CONFIG` (`src/testium/main_win/test_tree_items/test_tree_item.py`). At runtime, `icon_prefix()` returns `:/color`, `:/black`, or `:/white` (Qt resource prefix) based on the user preference.
+
+All icons must be declared in `src/testium/main_win/resources/testium_core_win.qrc` (one entry per theme section). After any QRC change, regenerate the compiled resource file:
+```
+cd src/testium/main_win/resources
+pyside6-rcc testium_core_win.qrc -o testium_core_win_rc.py
+```
+
+Icons are assigned once when the test file is loaded (not updated live on theme change — a file reload is required).
+
+### `run` item
+`src/testium/interpreter/test_items/test_item_run.py` — launches a `.tum` file in a new testium instance (`-b` in batch mode, `-r` in GUI mode). Result:
+- **PASS** if the sub-instance launched and ran to completion (exit code is ignored)
+- **FAIL** if the file is not found, `wait_for_exec` is set without `start_time`/`end_time`, the time window was not reached, or any other launch error
+
+The sub-test's own pass/fail result is intentionally not propagated.
+
+The interpreter and entry point used to spawn the sub-instance are picked automatically by `_testium_launch_cmd()` based on how the parent was started (AppImage → `$APPIMAGE`; Flatpak → `flatpak run`; PyInstaller → the frozen binary; source/wheel → `[sys.executable, abspath(sys.argv[0])]`). The user cannot override either via the YAML — selecting a different testium binary or Python from a sub-test was removed because it was either ill-defined (bundle modes have no separable Python) or could mismatch the parent's environment in surprising ways.
+
+### Report exporters & plugins
+`src/testium/interpreter/test_report/test_report.py` — `_EXPORTER_REGISTRY` dict maps a format name (cmd key in the YAML `report.export`) to a lazy loader. Built-ins: `text`, `json`, `junit` (needs `junit_xml`), `html` (needs `lxml`). `sqlite` is the storage layer, no-op as an export.
+
+Third-party plugins are discovered at module import via `importlib.metadata.entry_points(group="testium.exporters")` — installing a wheel that declares such an entry point is enough, no testium config change needed:
+```toml
+[project.entry-points."testium.exporters"]
+my_format = "my_pkg:MyExporter"
+```
+Exporter contract: `__init__(self, name, con, path, pats, keys, no_header=False)` — the class does its work in `__init__` and writes to `path`.
+
+Behaviour on errors:
+- Unknown format → info line `[report] Export skipped: format "X" not found. Available: ...`, run continues.
+- Optional dependency missing → same info line with a pip-install hint, run continues.
+
+A real-world test plugin lives at `test/validation/fake_exporter/` (CSV exporter, auto-installed by `scripts/build_env.sh` and exercised by `test/validation/items/report_plugin/`).
+
+## Packaging
+
+Four distribution channels coexist, all sharing the single `src/testium/` package and the single `src/requirements.txt` dependency list:
+
+| Channel | Where | Build | Notes |
+|---------|-------|-------|-------|
+| Wheel (`pip install`) | `src/pyproject.toml` | `python -m build` | Vanilla Python package; entry point `testium = "testium:main"`. |
+| PyInstaller binary | `package/pyinstaller/` | `build.sh` | Single ~130 MB binary. `py_func`, `runtime`, `lua_func` bundled at `_MEIPASS` root so the **host** Python can find them when launched as `python3 py_func`. `api`/`interpreter` are **not** exposed (subprocess isolation). |
+| Flatpak | `package/flatpak/` | `build.sh` (uses `flatpak-builder`) | KDE 6.10 runtime. The bundled Python runs only the main process; `py_func` / `lua_func` MUST run under the **host** interpreter (no Python/Lua bundled). Produces a distributable `.flatpak` bundle. |
+| AppImage | `package/appimage/` | `build.sh` (Debian Bookworm container via Podman/Docker) | Bundles Python 3.11 for the main process; `py_func` / `lua_func` MUST run under the **host** interpreter. Build runs in a container so it works on Arch / any non-Debian host. |
+
+The `.deb` work-in-progress lives in `package/deb/`:
+- `test_distro.sh debian:bookworm | debian:trixie | ubuntu:24.04` spins up a Docker/Podman container, reports system package availability, falls back to pip for what's missing (`pyside6` on bookworm/ubuntu, `telnetlib3`, `junit_xml`), runs the validation suite. Currently green on the three targets.
+
+### Host-only py_func / lua_func in sandboxed bundles (Flatpak, AppImage)
+
+The bundled Python (Flatpak's runtime python, AppImage's `python3.11`) is reserved for the **main process only**. Subprocesses (`py_func`, `lua_func`, `git`) must use the host's interpreters and tools so user-installed modules (pyserial, junit_xml, …) are visible. This is enforced by `interpreter/utils/bins.py`:
+
+- `_in_flatpak()` (checks `/.flatpak-info`) and `_in_appimage()` (checks `APPIMAGE` env var) detect the sandbox.
+- `_which(name)` probes only host bin dirs in those modes:
+  - Flatpak: `/run/host/usr/{local/,}bin`, `/run/host/bin` (host mounted via `--filesystem=host-os`).
+  - AppImage: `/usr/local/bin`, `/usr/bin`, `/bin` (we are directly on the host filesystem).
+  - If the host has no python3/lua, `ensure()` raises `ETUMRuntimeError` at test load with the candidate list — no silent fallback to a bundled interpreter.
+- User overrides (`python_bin`/`lua_bin` in globdict): bare names are resolved through `_which()` (host-only), absolute paths are accepted as-is.
+- `apply_host_libs(env)` is called by `py_process.py` / `lua_process.py` on the env passed to Popen:
+  - Flatpak: prepends host lib dirs to `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` so the dynamic linker finds host `.so`'s.
+  - AppImage: strips `$APPDIR`-prefixed entries from `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` / `PYTHONPATH` / `PATH` and drops `PYTHONHOME`, so the host Python doesn't try to load the bundled stdlib/site-packages.
+- `apply_host_lua_paths(env)` (Flatpak only) prepends `/run/host/usr/{lib,share}/lua/X.Y` to `LUA_PATH` / `LUA_CPATH` so `cjson`, `socket`, etc. resolve. Must be called **after** user `lua_env` overrides so host paths win. AppImage relies on host Lua's compiled-in defaults.
+- `py_process.py` additionally pops `PYTHONUSERBASE` (set to `/var/data/python` by the Flatpak runtime, which would hide `~/.local/lib/...`).
+
+### Version reporting (`interpreter/utils/version.py`)
+
+Both Flatpak and AppImage export `TESTIUM_VERSION` from a launcher (Flatpak: launcher script in `org.testium.Testium.yaml`; AppImage: `runtime.env` in `AppImageBuilder.yml`). `get_testium_version()` checks `/.flatpak-info` / `APPIMAGE` and reads `TESTIUM_VERSION` rather than relying on package metadata or repo introspection.
+
+## Recent fixes / notable changes
+- Restructure: single `src/testium/` Python package (was 4 sibling top-levels: `testium`, `lib`, `py_func`, `lua_func`). `lib/` → `runtime/`, `libs/` → `api/`. `pip install` now produces a clean `site-packages/testium/` with no top-level pollution; `.lua` files travel via `package_data`.
+- `bins.py`: centralised resolution + cache of external `python3` / `lua` binaries. Replaces the scattered `tm.gd("python_bin")`/`tm.gd("lua_bin")` dance and the duplicated discovery logic in `py_process.py`/`lua_process.py`. Validates at test load via `TestSet._validate_runtime_deps()` so missing interpreters fail fast.
+- Subprocess API contract: user scripts in `py_func`/`lua_func` use the JSON-RPC bridge (`py_func.tm` / Lua `tm`) — never `api.testium` / `interpreter.*` directly. `SUPPORTED_API` extended with `OS`, `get_main_dir`, `init_timestamp`, `timestamp`, `timestamp_as_sec` so subprocess scripts have the same surface as main-process code.
+- Report exporter plugin registry (`test_report.py`): `_EXPORTER_REGISTRY` + `entry_points("testium.exporters")` discovery. Missing format → info line, run continues.
+- About dialog rework: `QVBoxLayout` (resizable), version + dirty/branch info in a `QLabel` (auto-sized), copyright + clickable EUPL-1.2 link.
+- `test_ctrl.control()`: drain stale responses (left over from polled `loaded()` after `clear()` race) instead of failing on a wrong cmd key — fixes a "Unexpected return error in test set controller" seen in GUI mode after a fast reload.
+- `lua_process.py`: stderr no longer DEVNULL'd so actual Lua errors (missing `cjson`/`socket`) surface instead of "Connection refused".
+- `run_post_exec`: failure message uses `print_warn` (was `print_debug` — silent in non-debug runs).
+- Python 3.11 compat: replaced PEP 701 nested-quote f-strings (e.g. `f"... {d["k"]} ..."`) with single-quote inner strings or string concatenation.
+- `parallel` item: new item with `sync: all|any`, `wait_for`, daemon threads, `_stop_branch_recursively()`. Each branch thread registers a per-thread stdout buffer.
+- `parallel_branch` icon: distinct single-arrow icon (`parallel_branch.png`).
+- `parallel` F1 panel: `steps` stripped from each branch dict.
+- `test_item_container.py`: shared base class extracted from Group/Cycle.
+- `test_item_sleep.py`: interruptible loop so `sync: any` can stop slow branches quickly.
+- `stdout_redirect.py`: `StdoutProxy` (thread-aware buffers + branch-prefixed live output, `writeln()` for Python 3.14 unittest).
+- `test_report.py`: thread-safe SQLite INSERT for parallel branch concurrency.
+- `terminal.py`: deleted — `-m`/`--terminal` mode removed.
+- `batch.py`: premature finish bug on `gd_update` (no `"id"` key) — fix uses `"id" in m and m["id"] is None`.
+- `batch.py`: `control("loaded")` deadlock on TestProcess crash — fix uses daemon thread + `threading.Event` + `is_alive()` polling.
+- `termlog.py`: light/dark terminal auto-detection (`COLORFGBG`, OSC 11) + write residue bug.
+- Dialog items: `auto_result`/`auto_value` for non-interactive text mode; dialogs without `auto_result` FAIL immediately in batch.
+- `run` item: renamed `tum_fime` → `tum`; removed `stdout=PIPE` deadlock; PASS on any completed subprocess.
+- `unittest` item: renamed from `unittest_file`.
+- GUI test tree: check and fold state preserved across same-file reloads.
+- Licence: EUPL-1.2.

-# Documentation
+# testium
 
-[See here](doc/manual/testium_manual.pdf).
+testium is a YAML-driven test sequencer for hardware-in-the-loop and
+integration testing. A test campaign is described in a `.tum` file as a tree
+of items (checks, console interactions, Python/Lua functions, parallel blocks,
+dialogs, …); testium executes the tree, captures results, and produces
+reports in several formats.
 
-# run testium
+## Documentation
 
-From the root path, on windows `cmd`:
+* [Quick start](doc/quick_start.md) — install and run your first test in
+  five minutes.
+* [Tutorial](doc/tutorial.md) — guided walk-through of the most common
+  test items with a runnable example.
+* [User manual (PDF)](doc/manual/testium_manual.pdf) — full reference.
+* [`doc/examples/`](doc/examples/) — runnable `.tum` snippets.
 
-    run.bat
+## Pre-built releases
 
-On windows powershell:
+Pre-built artifacts are published at
+<https://git.beafrancois.fr/v-and-v/testium/releases>:
 
-    run.ps1
+* **Python wheel** (`testium-<version>-py3-none-any.whl`) — install with
+  `pip install testium-*.whl`. Lighter than the binary; pulls Python
+  dependencies from PyPI on install.
+* **Self-contained Linux binary** (`testium`, built with PyInstaller) —
+  runnable directly, no Python installation required on the host. Lua
+  support still needs a system `lua` interpreter and the `lua-socket` /
+  `lua-cjson` modules.
+* **Flatpak bundle** (`testium.flatpak`) — install with:
 
-On linux:
+  ```sh
+  # Add Flathub (once, to fetch the KDE/PySide runtimes)
+  flatpak remote-add --user --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
 
-    ./run.sh
+  # Install the bundle
+  flatpak install --user testium.flatpak
+  ```
 
-The virtual environment is created if needed and *testium* is started.
+  After installation testium appears in the desktop application menu and the
+  `testium` command is available in the terminal (requires `~/.local/bin` in
+  `PATH`, which most modern distributions provide by default).
 
-# Manual setup
+## Quick start
 
-A python virtual environment should be created:
+From a checkout of the repository:
 
-    python3 -m venv <testium_venv>
+| OS | Command |
+|----|---------|
+| Linux | `./run.sh` |
+| Windows (cmd) | `run.bat` |
+| Windows (PowerShell) | `run.ps1` |
 
-## Requirements
+The wrapper creates a Python virtual environment on first run and starts
+testium in GUI mode. Add `-b path/to/test.tum` to run a test in batch mode.
 
-In the virtual environment, the following modules must be installed:
+## Manual installation
 
-* pyside6
+If the wrapper script does not fit your environment, set up testium manually:
-* pyserial
-* pyyaml
-* pexpect
-* gitpython
-* jinja2
-* colorama
-* matplotlib
-* junit-xml
-* lxml
 
-A `requirements.txt` file is also available in the git repository in the path `testium/src/`.
+```sh
-
+python3 -m venv .venv
-
+source .venv/bin/activate
-## run testium
+pip install -r src/requirements.txt
-
-from the testium path, execute
-
-    python3 -m src/testium
-
-# Doc generation
-
-## Install sphinx
-
-    pip install sphinx
-
-## Generate the doc
-
-Execute
-
-    doc/manual/sphinx/./build_doc.sh
-
-This command works if texlive package has been installed on the system. It can be done by invoking the following command.
-
-    sudo apt install texlive-full
-
-# QT GUI
-
-## QT GUI modification
-
-Open the ".ui" file with `qtcreator` and modify the gui. Then regenerate the python code.
-
-On linux, a helper script has been created:
-    scripts/./qt_generate.sh
-
-# Debugging
-
-In order to debug testium or your python script executed within testium.
-
-## In VSCODE
-
-This is the prefered method :
-
-1. Create a debug configuration like the following:
-
-```
-    "configurations": [
-        {
-            "name": "Python : testium",
-            "type": "python",
-            "request": "launch",
-            "program": "${workspaceFolder}/src/testium",
-            "console": "integratedTerminal",
-            "args": ["-g"],
-            "justMyCode": true
-        },
-    ]
 ```
 
-2. Install debugpy module in python
+Required Python packages (see `src/requirements.txt`):
+`pyside6`, `pyserial`, `pyyaml`, `pexpect`, `gitpython`, `jinja2`, `colorama`,
+`matplotlib`, `junit-xml`, `lxml`.
 
-   python -m pip install debugpy
+For tests using `lua_func` items, install Lua (>= 5.1) plus the `socket` and
-3. Then get to the "RUN AND DEBUG" tab and press the play button.
+`cjson` modules. On Debian/Ubuntu:
-4. A testium window will pops up ; start execution of your tum.
-5. Do not forget to put breakpoints where you want to investigate.
 
-## Icons
+```sh
+sudo apt install lua5.4 lua-socket lua-cjson
+```
 
-Icons are coming from the following site: https://github.com/free-icons/free-icons.git
+Run testium:
 
-# testium Release
+```sh
+python3 src/testium               # GUI
+python3 src/testium -b mytest.tum # batch
+```
 
-## Pre-requisite
+## Troubleshooting
 
-A `python` virtual environment must have been set as described above.
+### `wl_proxy_marshal_flags` symbol error
 
-### Install pyinstaller
+```
+testium: symbol lookup error: ... undefined symbol: wl_proxy_marshal_flags
+```
 
-Install `pyinstaller` package using pip.
+Force the X11 Qt backend:
 
-## Generate the binary package
+```sh
+export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb
+testium
+```
 
-The procedure for a binary release is as follows:
+### `xcb plugin missing`
 
-1. update the `release_note.txt` file
+```
-2. modify the version in `src/VERSION` file
+qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb"
-3. be sure that the documentation is up to date, and if not execute `doc/manual/sphinx/build_doc.sh` script
+```
-4. push modifications and create a tag with the new version on the git repository
-5. generate an executable file by calling `package/pyinstaller/./build.sh`
-6. run the complete validation test for each generated binary
-7. check that all the validation results are OK
 
-# Troubleshooting
+Install the missing system libraries:
 
-## The testium exe crashes `wl_proxy_marshal_flags`
+```sh
+sudo apt install libxcb-cursor0 libicu-dev libxcb-cursor-dev
+```

+Built-in formats
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+* ``sqlite`` — raw SQLite database (storage layer; selecting it persists the run).
+* ``text``   — simple indented text dump of the test tree.
+* ``json``   — full report as JSON: ``{"header": {...}, "tests": [...]}``.
+* ``junit``  — JUnit XML (requires the ``junit_xml`` Python package).
+* ``html``   — single HTML page with header, results table and per-item logs (requires ``lxml``).
+
+If a format is unknown or its optional dependency is missing, the export is
+skipped with an ``[report] Export skipped: ...`` info line on stdout — the
+test run is **not** interrupted.
+
+.. _sec_reports_plugins:
+
+Custom export formats (plugins)
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+A third-party Python package can register additional export formats via the
+``testium.exporters`` setuptools entry point group. Once installed in the same
+Python environment as testium, the format is auto-detected at startup and can
+be referenced from the YAML by its declared name.
+
+Plugin contract — a class with this constructor signature:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+    :caption: minimal exporter contract
+
+    class MyExporter:
+        def __init__(self, name, con, path, pats, keys, no_header=False):
+            # name      : str  — report name
+            # con       : sqlite3.Connection (read) — tables: header, tests
+            # path      : str  — output file path (already expansed)
+            # pats      : list[str] — LIKE filters on test_name (may be empty)
+            # keys      : list[str] — LIKE filters on report_key (may be empty)
+            # no_header : bool — skip header section (set by the inline
+            #             `report` test item)
+            ...  # do the work in __init__ and write to `path`
+
+Tables and columns of the SQLite report:
+
+* ``header(key TEXT, value TEXT)`` — keys: ``report_version``, ``test_file``,
+  ``test_name``, ``test_result``, ``test_revision``, ``testium_version``,
+  ``testrun_date``, ``testrun_time``, ``test_duration``.
+* ``tests`` — 12 columns: ``timestamp_start``, ``test_id``, ``parent_id``,
+  ``level``, ``test_name``, ``test_type``, ``report_key``, ``result``
+  (``PASS``/``FAIL``/``SKIP``), ``message``, ``duration`` (ms),
+  ``log`` (captured stdout when ``log_stored: True``), ``data`` (JSON of
+  values reported via ``self.reportValue(...)``).
+
+Declaration in the plugin's ``pyproject.toml``:
+
+.. code-block:: toml
+    :caption: registering an exporter via entry-points
+
+    [project.entry-points."testium.exporters"]
+    my_format = "my_pkg:MyExporter"
+
+The plugin is then usable in any ``.tum`` report block as ``my_format:`` —
+no testium configuration change required.

+
+The ``parallel`` element runs several sequences of items concurrently. Each
+inner sequence is called a *branch* and runs in its own thread. The parent
+test item waits for branches to finish according to the ``sync`` policy.
+
+Attributes
+--------------------
+
+* ``branches``: required. A list of branches to execute concurrently. Each
+  branch has a ``name`` and a ``steps`` list (same structure as a ``group``
+  item). It can also declare a ``wait_for`` precondition (see below).
+* ``sync``: optional, defaults to ``all``.
+
+  * ``all``: the parallel item completes when *every* branch has finished.
+    The result is ``PASS`` if no branch returned ``FAIL`` (skipped or
+    disabled branches are ignored, like in ``group``); otherwise ``FAIL``.
+  * ``any``: the parallel item completes as soon as the *first* branch
+    finishes. The remaining branches are stopped (their next test items
+    are not executed). The result is ``PASS`` if at least one branch
+    succeeded.
+
+* ``no_fail``: optional. When ``true``, a ``FAIL`` result is forced to
+  ``PASS`` for the parallel item itself (same semantics as for any test
+  item). Branches keep their own result.
+
+Branch attributes
+--------------------
+
+Each entry of ``branches`` is a dict with the following attributes:
+
+* ``name``: required. The branch name. Used in reports and as a prefix
+  in the live log output (each line printed by the branch is prefixed
+  with the branch name in square brackets, e.g. ``[Branch A]``, so
+  concurrent branches stay readable).
+* ``steps``: required. The list of test items executed sequentially
+  inside the branch.
+* ``wait_for``: optional. Forces the branch to wait until a condition is
+  met before running its steps. If the timeout elapses, the branch
+  returns ``FAIL`` (the steps are not run). Sub-attributes:
+
+  * ``condition``: a testium expression evaluated repeatedly (every
+    100 ms) until it returns ``True``.
+  * ``timeout``: maximum wait, in seconds. Defaults to 30.
+
+Reporting
+--------------------
+
+Each branch produces its own row in the SQLite report (with type
+``Parallel branch``), in addition to the parent ``Parallel`` row. The
+``log`` column of each row contains only the output emitted from that
+branch's thread, so logs are never mixed between concurrent branches.
+
+In the live (terminal / GUI) output, lines emitted from a branch are
+prefixed with the branch name in square brackets (e.g. ``[Branch A]``).
+The prefix is not stored in the SQLite log column.
+
+Notes
+--------------------
+
+* A ``sleep`` item inside a branch is interruptible: if another
+  ``sync: any`` branch wins the race, slow ``sleep`` items are aborted
+  within ~50 ms.
+* A ``py_func`` or ``console`` item inside a branch is **not**
+  interruptible: a ``sync: any`` stop will only take effect after the
+  current item returns. The branch will then skip its remaining steps.
+* When a user disables a branch in the GUI tree, the branch returns
+  ``SKIP`` instantly without affecting the others (it does *not* win a
+  ``sync: any`` race).

+# Tutorial — testing a small Python utility
+
+This walk-through builds, step by step, a testium campaign that exercises
+a small Python module. Each section adds one feature; you can follow
+along by editing a single `.tum` file and re-running it.
+
+If you have not yet run testium, start with [`quick_start.md`](quick_start.md).
+
+## The code under test
+
+Create `calc.py` next to your `.tum` file:
+
+```python
+def add(a, b):
+    return a + b
+
+def divide(a, b):
+    return a / b
+```
+
+## Step 1 — a static check
+
+The simplest item is `check`: it evaluates an expression and the test
+passes iff the expression is truthy. Create `tutorial.tum`:
+
+```yaml
+main:
+    name: calc.py campaign
+    steps:
+        - check:
+            name: addition is correct
+            values:
+                - <| 2 + 3 == 5 |>
+```
+
+The `<| ... |>` markers turn the body into a Python expression evaluated
+at run time. Run it:
+
+```sh
+./run.sh -b -- tutorial.tum
+```
+
+## Step 2 — call your code with `py_func`
+
+`check` only sees Python literals; to exercise `calc.py` we need a
+`py_func` item. Replace the step:
+
+```yaml
+        - py_func:
+            name: add 2 and 3
+            file: calc.py
+            func_name: add
+            param: [2, 3]
+            expected_result: 5
+```
+
+`expected_result` makes the item PASS only when the function returns
+exactly that value.
+
+The result is also stored in the global dict under `pfn_<name>`
+(here `pfn_add 2 and 3`).
+
+Anywhere in a `.tum`, `$(key)` is replaced at runtime by the value
+stored in the global dict under `key`. A subsequent step can read the
+result back with `$(pfn_<name>)`:
+
+```yaml
+        - check:
+            name: result was 5
+            values:
+                - <| $(pfn_add 2 and 3) == 5 |>
+```
+
+## Step 3 — group several checks
+
+Wrap the steps in a `group` to keep them visually together and let
+testium report a per-group status:
+
+```yaml
+main:
+    name: calc.py campaign
+    steps:
+        - group:
+            name: add
+            steps:
+                - py_func:
+                    name: 2 + 3
+                    file: calc.py
+                    func_name: add
+                    param: [2, 3]
+                    expected_result: 5
+                - py_func:
+                    name: -1 + 1
+                    file: calc.py

+                    param: [-1, 1]
+                    expected_result: 0
+        - group:
+            name: divide
+            steps:
+                - py_func:
+                    name: 6 / 2
+                    file: calc.py
+                    func_name: divide
+                    param: [6, 2]
+                    expected_result: 3.0
+```
+
+A group fails as soon as one of its steps fails (set
+`stop_on_failure: false` to keep going).
+
+## Step 4 — define a variable with `let`
+
+Avoid hard-coding the same number twice with a variable:
+
+```yaml
+        - let:
+            name: define numerator
+            values:
+                - num: 6
+        - py_func:
+            name: divide num by 2
+            file: calc.py
+            func_name: divide
+            param:
+                - $(num)
+                - 2
+            expected_result: 3.0
+```
+
+`$(num)` expands to the global dict entry — when the stored value is a
+number it is substituted as a number, no need to wrap it in `<| ... |>`.
+
+## Step 5 — conditional execution
+
+Skip a step when a condition is false:
+
+```yaml
+        - py_func:
+            name: divide by zero only on linux
+            condition: <| "$(os)" == "Linux" |>
+            file: calc.py
+            func_name: divide
+            param: [1, 0]
+```
+
+Items skipped this way report `SKIP` and do not affect the overall
+result.
+
+## Step 6 — generate a report
+
+Add a `report` block at the root of the file:
+
+```yaml
+main:
+    name: calc.py campaign
+    steps:
+        # ... your steps here ...
+
+report:
+    enabled: true
+    log_stored: true
+    export:
+        - junit:
+            path: ./reports
+            file_name: calc.xml
+        - html:
+            path: ./reports
+            file_name: calc.html
+```
+
+The `path` directory must exist before the test runs — testium does not
+create it. Create it once:
+
+```sh
+mkdir -p reports
+```
+
+Re-run the test — `./reports/calc.xml` (CI-friendly) and
+`./reports/calc.html` (human-friendly) are produced. Set
+`log_stored: true` to include each item's captured stdout.
+
+## Step 7 — share state between calls
+
+By default each `py_func` runs in its own short-lived subprocess.
+To keep state across calls, use `context_id`:
+
+```yaml
+        - py_func:
+            name: open
+            file: calc.py
+            func_name: open_resource
+            context_id: my_ctx
+        - py_func:
+            name: use
+            file: calc.py
+            func_name: use_resource
+            context_id: my_ctx
+```
+
+Both steps share the same persistent Python interpreter, so `calc.py`
+can store any object in module-level globals or in `tm.setgd()`.
+
+To share data without `context_id`, write it to the testium global dict
+via the JSON-RPC bridge:
+
+```python
+import py_func.tm as tm
+
+def producer():
+    tm.setgd("computed", 42)
+
+def consumer():
+    return tm.gd("computed")
+```
+
+## Where to go next
+
+* [`doc/examples/`](examples/) — one runnable `.tum` per feature
+  (cycles, dialogs, console, plots, parallel, run-of-tum, …).
+* [`doc/manual/testium_manual.pdf`](manual/testium_manual.pdf) — full
+  reference manual covering every test item, every attribute and the
+  YAML syntax extensions.

+version 0.1.2
+==============
+- Flatpak: opening a test from the GUI now correctly finds its companion
+  files (param.yaml, .py scripts, ...).
+
+version 0.1.1
+==============
+- New install channels: Flatpak bundle and AppImage. The AppImage runs
+  on any distribution (built inside a Debian container).
+- About dialog: version is now correct in Flatpak and AppImage builds
+  (used to display "unknown").
+- GUI dialogs no longer hang on pure-Wayland sessions.
+- Plot "last values" API: more tolerant timeout on loaded machines.
+- run item: `testium_path` and `python_bin` parameters removed —
+  sub-instances are launched in the same packaging mode as the parent.
+- License: EUPL-1.2.

+  Licensor under this Licence, available as Source Code and also as Executable
+  Code as the case may be.
+
+- 'Derivative Works': the works or software that could be created by the
+  Licensee, based upon the Original Work or modifications thereof. This Licence
+  does not define the extent of modification or dependence on the Original

+- 'The Licensor': the natural or legal person that distributes or communicates
+  the Work under the Licence.

+
+
+2. Scope of the rights granted by the Licence
+
+The Licensor hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive,
+sublicensable licence to do the following, for the duration of copyright
+vested in the Original Work:
+
+- use the Work in any circumstance and for all usage,
+- reproduce the Work,

+  the Work or copies thereof to the public and perform publicly, as the case
+  may be, the Work,

+- lend and rent the Work or copies thereof,
+- sublicense rights in the Work or copies thereof.
+
+Those rights can be exercised on any media, supports and formats, whether now
+known or later invented, as far as the applicable law permits so.
+
+In the countries where moral rights apply, the Licensor waives his right to
+exercise his moral right to the extent allowed by law in order to make
+effective the licence of the economic rights here above listed.
+
+The Licensor grants to the Licensee royalty-free, non-exclusive usage rights
+to any patents held by the Licensor, to the extent necessary to make use of
+the rights granted on the Work under this Licence.
+
+
+3. Communication of the Source Code
+
+The Licensor may provide the Work either in its Source Code form, or as
+Executable Code. If the Work is provided as Executable Code, the Licensor
+provides in addition a machine-readable copy of the Source Code of the Work
+along with each copy of the Work that the Licensor distributes or indicates,
+in a notice following the copyright notice attached to the Work, a repository
+where the Source Code is easily and freely accessible for as long as the
+Licensor continues to distribute or communicate the Work.
+
+
+4. Limitations on copyright
+
+Nothing in this Licence is intended to deprive the Licensee of the benefits

+limitations thereto.
+
+
+5. Obligations of the Licensee
+
+The grant of the rights mentioned above is subject to some restrictions and
+obligations imposed on the Licensee. Those obligations are the following:
+
+Attribution right: The Licensee shall keep intact all copyright, patent or
+trademarks notices and all notices that refer to the Licence and to the
+disclaimer of warranties. The Licensee must include a copy of such notices
+and a copy of the Licence with every copy of the Work he/she distributes or
+communicates. The Licensee must cause any Derivative Work to carry prominent
+notices stating that the Work has been modified and the date of modification.
+
+Copyleft clause: If the Licensee distributes or communicates copies of the
+Original Works or Derivative Works, this Distribution or Communication will
+be done under the terms of this Licence or of a later version of this Licence
+unless the Original Work is expressly distributed only under this version of

+(becoming Licensor) cannot offer or impose any additional terms or conditions
+on the Work or Derivative Work that alter or restrict the terms of the
+Licence.
+
+Compatibility clause: If the Licensee Distributes or Communicates Derivative
+Works or copies thereof based upon both the Work and another work licensed
+under a Compatible Licence, this Distribution or Communication can be done
+under the terms of this Compatible Licence. For the sake of this clause,
+'Compatible Licence' refers to the licences listed in the appendix attached
+to this Licence. Should the Licensee's obligations under the Compatible
+Licence conflict with his/her obligations under this Licence, the obligations
+of the Compatible Licence shall prevail.
+
+Provision of Source Code: When distributing or communicating copies of the
+Work, the Licensee will provide a machine-readable copy of the Source Code or
+indicate a repository where this Source will be easily and freely available
+for as long as the Licensee continues to distribute or communicate the Work.
+
+Legal Protection: This Licence does not grant permission to use the trade
+names, trademarks, service marks, or names of the Licensor, except as
+required for reasonable and customary use in describing the origin of the

+
+

+the terms of this Licence.
+
+
+7. Disclaimer of Warranty
+
+The Work is a work in progress, which is continuously improved by numerous

+basis and without warranties of any kind concerning the Work, including
+without limitation merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, absence

+condition for the grant of any rights to the Work.
+
+

+
+Except in the cases of wilful misconduct or damages directly caused to

+indirect, material or moral, damages of any kind, arising out of the Licence
+or of the use of the Work, including without limitation, damages for loss of
+goodwill, work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, loss of data or any
+commercial damage, even if the Licensor has been advised of the possibility
+of such damage. However, the Licensor will be liable under statutory product
+liability laws as far such laws apply to the Work.
+
+
+9. Additional agreements
+
+While distributing the Work, You may choose to conclude an additional
+agreement, defining obligations or services consistent with this Licence.
+However, if accepting obligations, You may act only on your own behalf and on
+your sole responsibility, not on behalf of the original Licensor or any other
+Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold each
+Contributor harmless for any liability incurred by, or claims asserted
+against such Contributor by the fact You have accepted any warranty or
+additional liability.
+
+
+10. Acceptance of the Licence
+
+The provisions of this Licence can be accepted by clicking on an icon 'I
+agree' placed under the bottom of a window displaying the text of this
+Licence or by affirming consent in any other similar way, in accordance with
+the rules of applicable law. Clicking on that icon indicates your clear and
+irrevocable acceptance of this Licence and all of its terms and conditions.
+
+Similarly, you irrevocably accept this Licence and all of its terms and
+conditions by exercising any rights granted to You by Article 2 of this
+Licence, such as the use of the Work, the creation by You of a Derivative
+Work or the Distribution or Communication by You of the Work or copies
+thereof.
+
+
+11. Information to the public
+
+In case of any Distribution or Communication of the Work by means of
+electronic communication by You (for example, by offering to download the
+Work from a remote location) the distribution channel or media (for example,
+a website) must at least provide to the public the information requested by
+the applicable law regarding the Licensor, the Licence and the way it may be
+accessible, concluded, stored and reproduced by the Licensee.
+
+
+12. Termination of the Licence
+
+The Licence and the rights granted hereunder will terminate automatically
+upon any breach by the Licensee of the terms of the Licence.
+
+Such a termination will not terminate the licences of any person who has
+received the Work from the Licensee under the Licence, provided such persons
+remain in full compliance with the Licence.
+
+
+13. Miscellaneous
+
+Without prejudice of Article 9 above, the Licence represents the complete
+agreement between the Parties as to the Work.
+
+If any provision of the Licence is invalid or unenforceable under applicable
+law, this will not affect the validity or enforceability of the Licence as a
+whole. Such provision will be construed or reformed so as necessary to make
+it valid and enforceable.
+
+The European Commission may publish other linguistic versions or new versions
+of this Licence or updated versions of the Appendix, so far this is required
+and reasonable, without reducing the scope of the rights granted by the
+Licence. New versions of the Licence will be published with a unique version
+number.
+
+All linguistic versions of this Licence, approved by the European Commission,
+have identical value. Parties can take advantage of the linguistic version of
+their choice.
+
+
+14. Jurisdiction
+
+Without prejudice to specific agreement between parties,
+
+- any litigation resulting from the interpretation of this License, arising
+  between the European Union institutions, bodies, offices or agencies, as a
+  Licensor, and any Licensee, will be subject to the jurisdiction of the
+  Court of Justice of the European Union, as laid down in article 272 of the
+  Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
+
+- any litigation arising between other parties and resulting from the
+  interpretation of this License, will be subject to the exclusive
+  jurisdiction of the competent court where the Licensor resides or conducts
+  its primary business.
+
+
+15. Applicable Law
+
+Without prejudice to specific agreement between parties,
+
+- this Licence shall be governed by the law of the European Union Member
+  State where the Licensor has his seat, resides or has his registered
+  office,
+
+- this licence shall be governed by Belgian law if the Licensor has no seat,
+  residence or registered office inside a European Union Member State.
