✨ New Features & Capabilities (1)
- Added lightweight module system / optimized Cypress listeners to prevent duplicated events.
🔧 Bug Fixes & Patches (3)
- Handle `javascripts` and preprocess them as we do regular specs. Fixes: #15.
- Fixed an edge case when writing a test with a `done` callback alongside `cy` commands. This situation would always cause a timeout after 30 seconds even though the test would pass.
- Internally refactored Cypress for easier testability / debuggability.
