## Executive Summary

**Sprint 27** has been successfully completed! This major sprint implemented comprehensive **Shell Variable Access** support through three focused sub-sprints, adding 29 new tests and 7 new stdlib functions.

### Achievement: Shell Variable Access Complete

All shell variable access features have been implemented:
- ✅ **Sprint 27a**: Environment Variables (`${VAR}`, `${VAR:-default}`)
- ✅ **Sprint 27b**: Command-Line Arguments (`$1`, `$2`, `$@`, `$#`)
- ✅ **Sprint 27c**: Exit Code Handling (`$?`)

## Sprint Breakdown

### Sprint 27a: Environment Variables
- **Duration:** ~3 hours (RED + GREEN phases)
- **Functions:** `env()`, `env_var_or()`
- **Tests Added:** 10
- **Tests Passing:** 814 → 824
- **Key Features:**
  - Safe `${VAR}` and `${VAR:-default}` generation
  - Security validation (variable name injection prevention)
  - Proper quoting for safety

### Sprint 27b: Command-Line Arguments
- **Duration:** ~2.5 hours (RED + GREEN phases)
- **Functions:** `arg()`, `args()`, `arg_count()`
- **Tests Added:** 12
- **Tests Passing:** 824 → 838
- **Key Features:**
  - Safe `$1`, `$2`, `$@`, `$#` generation
  - Position validation (must be >= 1, prevents $0 confusion)
  - Zero implementation errors (improvement over 27a)

### Sprint 27c: Exit Code Handling
- **Duration:** ~1 hour (RED + GREEN phases)
- **Functions:** `exit_code()`
- **Tests Added:** 7
- **Tests Passing:** 838 → 845
- **Key Features:**
  - Safe `"$?"` generation
  - Support in all contexts (assignment, comparison, concatenation)
  - Simplest sprint (only 1 function vs 2-3 in previous sprints)
