One thing to note as well (to potentially adjust expectations for readers) is that Kyua handling ATF crashes and cleaning up requires a deeper understanding of the ATF interface in Kyua. It’s a best effort, e.g., if the program crashes while cleaning up, it can leave orphan directories behind or not fully clean up the system (I’ve seen this happen before and I have also triggered scenarios like this). This is to be expected, but I just wanted to be explicit about the fact that the interface does not aim for a perfect solution—it’s a good enough one for general cases.

This aligns with other test frameworks I’ve used in the past.
