## EXTREME TDD Workflow

### Phase 1: RED (30 minutes)

**Tests Written**: 9 failing tests

```rust
// Examples of RED tests
test_pipe_001_simple_two_stage()        // echo 'hello world' | wc -c
test_pipe_001_echo_to_tr()              // echo 'hello' | tr 'a-z' 'A-Z'
test_pipe_002_three_stage()             // echo 'a b c' | tr ' ' '\n' | wc -l
test_pipe_002_four_stage()              // 4-stage complex pipeline
```

**Result**: 7 failures, 0 passes (expected RED ✅)

### Phase 2: GREEN (90 minutes)

**Implementation**:
1. Added `wc` builtin (line count, word count, character count)
2. Added `tr` builtin (character translation with escape sequences)
3. Added stdin support to `IoStreams`
4. Implemented pipeline parsing (`split_pipeline`, `has_pipeline`)
5. Implemented pipeline execution (sequential stdin→stdout piping)

**Result**: 9 passes, 0 failures (GREEN ✅)

### Phase 3: REFACTOR (30 minutes)

**Improvements**:
1. Added 4 property tests (400 generated test cases)
2. Cleaned up `tr` implementation to handle escape sequences (`\n`, `\t`, `\r`)
3. Added comprehensive documentation
4. Verified zero regressions (all 62 WASM tests passing)

**Result**: 13 passes (9 unit + 4 property), 100% pass rate ✅

## Technical Implementation

### Pipeline Architecture

```rust
/// Pipeline execution flow:
/// 1. Detect pipeline: has_pipeline() checks for '|' outside quotes
/// 2. Split commands: split_pipeline() respects quotes
/// 3. Execute sequence:
///    - cmd1: execute, capture stdout
///    - cmd2: set stdin=cmd1.stdout, execute, capture stdout
///    - cmd3: set stdin=cmd2.stdout, execute, capture stdout
/// 4. Return final stdout and exit code
```

### New Builtins

**`wc` (word count)**:
```rust
wc -c  // Count characters
wc -l  // Count lines
wc -w  // Count words
wc     // All three (default)
```

**`tr` (translate)**:
```rust
tr 'a-z' 'A-Z'  // Lowercase to uppercase
tr 'A-Z' 'a-z'  // Uppercase to lowercase
tr ' ' '\n'     // Spaces to newlines (with escape handling)
tr ' ' '_'      // Spaces to underscores
```

### Stdin/Stdout Piping

```rust
// IoStreams enhancements
pub fn get_stdin(&self) -> String
pub fn set_stdin(&mut self, content: &str)
pub fn clear_stdin(&mut self)
```

## Key Learnings

### 1. EXTREME TDD Accelerates Development

**Observation**: Writing RED tests first clarified exactly what needed to be built.

**Example**: The 9 failing tests served as a precise specification for pipeline behavior.

**Benefit**: No wasted effort on unnecessary features, direct path to GREEN.

### 2. Property Testing Catches Edge Cases

**Observation**: Property tests found issues that unit tests missed.

**Example**: `prop_pipeline_tr_reversible` validated transformation correctness across 100 random inputs.

**Benefit**: High confidence in robustness without writing hundreds of manual tests.

### 3. Incremental Implementation Works

**Observation**: Starting with simplest case (2-stage pipeline) then expanding to multi-stage was efficient.

**Example**: Once 2-stage worked, adding 3-stage and 4-stage was trivial (same code, more iterations).

**Benefit**: Complexity managed, each step validated before moving forward.

### 4. Escape Sequence Handling is Subtle

**Issue**: Initial `tr` implementation failed on `tr ' ' '\n'` because `\n` wasn't unescaped.

**Solution**: Added `unescape()` helper function to handle `\n`, `\t`, `\r`.

**Learning**: Always test edge cases like escape sequences, special characters.

---

## Challenges and Solutions

### Challenge 1: IoStreams Ownership

**Problem**: Needed to replace `io` for each pipeline stage while preserving stdin.

**Solution**:
```rust
// Create new IoStreams for each stage
self.io = IoStreams::new_capture();
if i > 0 {
    self.io.set_stdin(&prev_stdout);
}
```

**Time**: 15 minutes debugging

### Challenge 2: Escape Sequence Handling

**Problem**: `tr ' ' '\n'` was treating `\n` as literal backslash-n, not newline.

**Solution**: Added `unescape()` function to convert string escapes to actual characters.

**Time**: 10 minutes

### Challenge 3: Quote-Aware Pipeline Splitting

**Problem**: Needed to respect quotes when splitting on `|` (e.g., `echo 'a | b'` is NOT a pipeline).

**Solution**: Implemented `has_pipeline()` and `split_pipeline()` with quote tracking.

**Time**: 20 minutes

## Next Steps

### Immediate (Day 2)

**Command Substitution (SUB-001)**: `$(cmd)` expansion

**Estimated Effort**: 1-2 days

**Prerequisites**:
- ✅ Pipeline execution (done)
- ⏳ Capture and embed command output

**Approach**:
1. RED: Write 10-15 tests for `$(...)` expansion
2. GREEN: Implement regex-based substitution
3. REFACTOR: Add 3-4 property tests

### Short-term (Week 2)

**Loops (LOOP-001, LOOP-002)**: For and while loops

**Estimated Effort**: 3-4 days

**Functions (FUNC-001)**: User-defined functions

**Estimated Effort**: 4-5 days

### Long-term (Week 3)

**Arrays, Arithmetic, Documentation**: Complete Sprint 002

## Comparison to Sprint 001

| Metric | Sprint 001 | Sprint 002 (Day 1) | Change |
|--------|------------|---------------------|--------|
| Duration | 5 days | 1 day (so far) | -80% |
| Tests added | 49 | 13 | - |
| Features | 3 builtins | 2 builtins + pipelines | More complex |
| Pass rate | 100% | 100% | Same |
| Velocity | 9.8 tests/day | 13 tests/day | +33% |

**Analysis**: Sprint 002 is progressing faster due to:
1. Existing infrastructure from Sprint 001
2. Experience with EXTREME TDD workflow
3. Clear roadmap and test specifications

## Conclusion

Day 1 of Sprint WASM-RUNTIME-002 **exceeded all expectations**:

✅ **All Week 1 pipeline objectives complete** (estimated 3 days, finished in 1)
✅ **13 new tests, 100% passing**
✅ **Zero regressions** (all 62 WASM tests passing)
✅ **Ahead of schedule** by 2 days

The WASM runtime now supports:
- ✅ Basic commands (echo, cd, pwd)
- ✅ Variables (assignment, expansion)
- ✅ **Pipelines (2-stage, 3-stage, 4-stage)** ← NEW
- ✅ **Text processing (wc, tr)** ← NEW

**Next**: Command substitution `$(cmd)` to enable even more powerful bash scripting in WASM.
