 # ctf-run-tests
 
+## 0.13.0
+
+### Minor Changes
+
+- Add optional inputs `go_necessary` and `skip_go_modules_download` for workflows that run
+  precompiled `go test -c` binaries (for example E2E matrix jobs). When
+  `skip_go_modules_download` is true, module download is skipped while Go remains available
+  for `gotestsum` / `gotestloghelper`. Use `gotestsum --raw-command -- ./pkg.test -test.json ...`
+  in `test_command_to_run` for test2json output.
+
 ## 0.12.0

 # ctf-run-tests
 
 > Common runner for chainlink-testing-framework based tests
+
+Precompiled tests: set `skip_go_modules_download` to skip `go mod download`, and pass a
+`test_command_to_run` that uses `gotestsum --raw-command -- /path/to/pkg.test -test.v -test.json …`
+so junit/json output still works.
