+**The test suite can see deprecation warnings again**
+
+`filterwarnings` silenced `DeprecationWarning` for `libtmux.*`,
+`libtmux_mcp.*`, and `tests`. A deprecation is attributed to the frame the
+raising library points `stacklevel` at — the caller — so those three patterns
+matched exactly the warnings saying this codebase must change, while unrelated
+third-party noise still surfaced. `FastMCPDeprecationWarning` subclasses
+`DeprecationWarning`, so FastMCP's own deprecations were caught by the same
+filters.
+
+The three blanket entries are gone; the message-scoped docutils filter stays.
+The suite is quiet without them apart from the one warning they were hiding,
+now fixed: `asyncio.iscoroutinefunction` is deprecated and slated for removal
+in Python 3.16, replaced with `inspect.iscoroutinefunction`.
+
+`DeprecationWarning` is deliberately not escalated to an error. This project
+pins two fast-moving pre-2.0 dependencies, and an upstream patch release should
+not be able to turn CI red on its own schedule.

 ## libtmux-mcp 0.1.0a19 (2026-07-25)
 
 libtmux-mcp 0.1.0a19 makes {tooliconl}`wait-for-text` see the output it was asked to watch for, and puts a ceiling under every wait. The tool anchored one row below the cursor's position at entry, which on a quiescent pane is exactly where the next line lands, so the case it exists for — output you did not author, a daemon printing a single `ready` line — could not match at all. Waits are now bounded by a server ceiling, cancellable without orphaning their tmux child, and report an `outcome` that distinguishes a command that never ran from output that did not match from a pager owning the pane. The wait API changes shape in the process: `pattern` becomes `patterns`, `stop` markers end a wait early, and `wait_for_content_change` is removed in favour of `wait_for_text(patterns=null)`.
