Part I — Mental Model

This part defines the main framework abstractions.

This part explains what the framework’s core types mean, how a scenario executes from build to teardown, and how to pick the right entry pattern for a given test before writing any code.

• Application, AppDeployment, and Environments — the three roles a “thing under test” can play
• Scenario Model and Lifecycle — what a scenario is and every phase it passes through
• Choosing an Entry Pattern — uniform cluster, composed stack, attached nodes, or manual control
• Ownership and Design Boundaries — what the framework owns versus what your application repository owns
