Conformance suite

bb_conformance is the open test host and validator.

cmake -S bus -B build/bus && cmake --build build/bus
./build/bus/bb_conformance run               # all checks, TAP output, private namespace
./build/bus/bb_conformance inspect           # print + validate the live "default" bus
./build/bus/bb_conformance peer-send <ns> <uid> <seconds>   # interop peer

run checks:

Area	What
Layout	struct sizes and offsets match the spec; a fresh segment's header
Versioning	wrong requested version, foreign segment versions, corrupt magic
Registry	ports, names, listings, generations, UID collisions, dead-process reclamation, lock recovery
Timing	one block of latency in random thread order, offline export, loops, stopped transport, real threads
Signals	summing and amounts, ghost sources, unwritten/short/oversized blocks
State	save/load round trip, locale-independent amounts, malformed input
IPC	a second process publishes, this one reads

To test another implementation of the C API, link bb_conformance.c against it instead of bleep_bus. To test interop between your implementation and the reference, run peer-send from one and a reader from the other.
