README.md: rewrite with v0.16.0 version, compiler section, Jupyter kernel section, hardware I/O in statement table, accurate test counts (72 interpreter + 14 kernel + 69 compiler), build instructions for all three targets. docs/roadmap.md: clean up Phase 2 accumulation into single coherent compiler description. List all language coverage, operators, functions, and optimizations. Remove stale intermediate progress markers. docs/development.md: update test counts (72 programs, 68 golden files), add kernel and compiler test commands.

Tests
72 automated test programs in tests/programs/, plus 4 classic interactive
programs in tests/classic/ (Hamurabi, Lunar Lander, Gunner, Diamond from
David Ahl's BASIC Computer Games). 14 Jupyter kernel tests. 69 compiler
tests (all numbered programs compiled to native executables via gwbasic-compile).
Run the full automated suite:
bash tests/run_tests.sh # interpreter (72 tests)
python -m gwbasickernel.test_kernel # Jupyter kernel (14 tests)
Each interpreter test has a 5-second timeout. 68 tests have .expected golden
files for output regression detection. Tests without golden comparison:
datetime, on_timer, timer_stop (timing-dependent), color_test (visual).
Compatibility Testing
Compare output against real GWBASIC.EXE running under DOSBox-X:
# Generate .expected files from GWBASIC.EXE (requires DOSBox-X Flatpak)
bash tests/run_compat.sh --generate
# Compare gwbasic output against .expected
bash tests/run_compat.sh
CI
GitHub Actions runs on every push to main and on pull requests. The workflow
builds the project with PulseAudio support and runs all 66 test programs.
