+The `--clean` flag has been introduced to the test runner
+[with Deno v1.44](https://deno.com/blog/v1.44#clean-coverage-directory-on-test-runs).
+This flag empties the coverage directory before running the test suite,
+preventing outdated coverage data from long-deleted files from lingering.
+However, be aware that this flag will cause conflicts when running multiple
+`deno test` commands in parallel or in series, and then viewing the aggregated
+coverage report. If you are running tests in parallel, you should not use this
+flag. If running in series, only pass this flag to the first `deno test`
+invocation.
