 # Changelog
 
+## 2.2.0 - 2026-10-01
+
+- Fixed: in one `npm run test:e2e` every e2e file after the first failed to boot with "Cannot determine a GraphQL output type":
+  `@nestjs/graphql` keeps its type registry on the process global, the test world's globalSetup loads application code in jest's
+  main process, and jest-environment-node exposes the host process's globals to every file it runs there (or in a reused worker).
+  The integration, e2e and contract projects now run on the preset's world runner (`runner: WORLD_RUNNER`, `world-runner.cjs`):
+  every spec file in a fresh worker process, never in band (not even with `--runInBand` or one
+  test), so each file boots clean whatever framework keeps state on a global. The runner drives the stock jest-runner of the jest
+  that loads it (jest -> @jest/core -> jest-runner), one single-worker farm per file.
+- Changed: the world runner runs the files of the integration, e2e and contract projects ONE AT A TIME, enforced by the runner
+  (`--maxWorkers` is not honoured there): every file shares the run's data and the test world resets it when a file boots, so
+  two files at once would wipe each other's state. The project-level `maxWorkers: 1` is removed: it is a global jest option a
+  project config never applied (so e2e files used to run cores-1 at a time).
+- Known limitation (lifted in alpha.5): world files cannot run in parallel until each worker has its own data namespace (a
+  database schema, a Keycloak realm prefix, a Redis key prefix and its own fakes per worker).
+- Added: `WORLD_RUNNER` (the runner's resolved path) on the package root.
+
 ## 2.1.1 - 2026-10-01
 
 - Fixed: a repository without its test world (`src/tests/world/global-setup.ts`) could not run its unit specs with the managed `jest.config.js`: jest validates every project's `globalSetup`, even under `--selectProjects unit`. The integration, e2e and contract projects are now declared only when the world exists.

+ * The runner of the integration, e2e and contract projects: every spec file runs in a process of its own.
+ *
+ * Why: jest runs a file in a fresh vm context, but a context still reaches the globals of the process that hosts it, and
+ * jest-environment-node exposes every global the host process had when the environment loaded. The test world's globalSetup
+ * runs in jest's main process and loads application code there (the migrate step and its modules), so a framework that keeps
+ * its registry on a process global (`@nestjs/graphql` keeps `GqlTypeMetadataStorage` on `global`) leaks it into every file
+ * jest runs in that process; and a worker that runs several files carries whatever the first one left on its own global. In
+ * one `npm run test:e2e` the second file then fails to boot with "Cannot determine a GraphQL output type". Resetting the
+ * framework's storage would chase one framework at a time; a process per file isolates every one of them.
+ *
+ * How: the stock jest-runner, driven one file at a time with a single-worker farm (`maxWorkers: 1` per file), which forks a
+ * fresh child, runs the file there and ends the child. Never in band, even when jest would choose it (one worker, one test,
+ * `--runInBand`): the main process holds the globalSetup's state.
+ *
+ * ONE FILE AT A TIME, whatever `--maxWorkers` says: every file of a run shares the run's data (the test world resets the run's
+ * databases, realm users, Redis DB and fakes when a file boots), so a second file running beside the first would wipe what the
+ * first is using. The runner enforces it, so no flag or script can turn it off. Per-worker data namespaces are the known
+ * limitation that lifts it (see CHANGELOG 2.2.0).
