       starts work.

   TAKING ACTION AFTER A TOOL IS DONE
       Test2::Manual::Tooling::Plugin::ToolCompletes - How to add behaviors that occur when a
       tool completes work.

   TAKING ACTION AT THE END OF TESTING

WRITING A SIMPLE JSONL FORMATTER

       Test2::Manual::Tooling::Formatter - How to write a custom formatter, in our case a JSONL

WHERE TO FIND HOOKS AND APIS

       global API
           Test2::API is the global API. This is primarily used by plugins that provide global
           behavior.

       In hubs
           Test2::Hub is the base class for all hubs. This is where hooks for manipulating
           events, or running things at the end of testing live.
