+// Package regtest provides a framework for writing gopls regression tests.
+//
+// User reported regressions are often expressed in terms of editor
+// interactions. For example: "When I open my editor in this directory,
+// navigate to this file, and change this line, I get a diagnostic that doesn't
+// make sense". In these cases reproducing, diagnosing, and writing a test to
+// protect against this regression can be difficult.
+//
+// The regtest package provides an API for developers to express these types of
+// user interactions in ordinary Go tests, validate them, and run them in a
+// variety of execution modes (see gopls/doc/daemon.md for more information on
+// execution modes). This is achieved roughly as follows:
+// + the Runner type starts and connects to a gopls instance for each
+// configured execution mode.
+// + the Env type provides a collection of resources to use in writing tests
+// (for example a temporary working directory and fake text editor)
+// + user interactions with these resources are scripted using test wrappers
+// around the API provided by the golang.org/x/tools/internal/lsp/fake
+// package.
+//
+// Regressions are expressed in terms of Expectations, which at a high level
+// are conditions that we expect to be met (or not to be met) at some point
+// after performing the interactions in the test. This is necessary because the
+// LSP is by construction asynchronous: both client and server can send
+// eachother notifications without formal acknowledgement that they have been
+// fully processed.
+//
+// Simple Expectations may be combined to match specific conditions reported by
+// the user. In the example above, a regtest validating that the user-reported
+// bug had been fixed would "expect" that the editor never displays the
+// confusing diagnostic.
