**Sprint Goal**: Expose PMAT's 47-file mutation testing infrastructure via `pmat mutate` CLI command

**Timeline**: 9-day implementation (following SPRINT-61-KICKOFF.md)

---

## Progress Tracker

### Day 1 - Quick Start ✅ COMPLETE
**Date**: October 27, 2025
**Status**: All tasks completed successfully
**Time**: ~1 hour

#### Tasks Completed
1. ✅ Read existing command patterns (context, analyze, hooks)
2. ✅ Define `Mutate` command in `commands.rs`
3. ✅ Update command dispatcher with Mutate match arm
4. ✅ Create handler skeleton in `handlers/mutate.rs`
5. ✅ Register handler in `handlers/mod.rs`
6. ✅ Test compilation with `cargo check --bin pmat`

#### Files Modified (6 files)
- `server/src/cli/commands.rs` - Added `Mutate(MutateArgs)` command and `MutateArgs` struct
- `server/src/cli/command_dispatcher.rs` - Added routing for Mutate command
- `server/src/cli/handlers/mutate.rs` - Created handler skeleton (NEW FILE, 81 lines)
- `server/src/cli/handlers/mod.rs` - Registered mutate module
- `server/src/cli/command_structure.rs` - Added match arm for Mutate
- `server/src/unified_protocol/adapters/cli.rs` - Added Mutate to CLI-only commands and Analysis category

#### Issues Resolved
1. **Non-exhaustive pattern matches** - Added Mutate handling in 3 locations
2. **Module resolution** - Used `super::handlers::mutate::handle` instead of `handlers::`
3. **Arc ownership** - Added `.clone()` for `self.server`
4. **Short option conflicts** - Removed `-t` from timeout to avoid conflict with target

#### Command Interface
```bash
pmat mutate --help
```

**Available Options:**
- `-t, --target <PATH>` - File or directory to mutate (REQUIRED)
- `-l, --language <LANGUAGE>` - Programming language (rust, python, typescript, go, cpp)
- `--timeout <TIMEOUT>` - Timeout per mutant in seconds (default: 30)
- `-j, --jobs <JOBS>` - Parallel execution workers
- `-f, --output-format <OUTPUT_FORMAT>` - Output format: json, markdown, text (default: text)
- `-o, --output <OUTPUT>` - Output file (stdout if omitted)
- `--threshold <THRESHOLD>` - Mutation score threshold (fail if below)

---

### Day 2 - Real File Testing ✅ COMPLETE
**Date**: October 27, 2025
**Status**: Mutant generation verified
**Time**: ~30 minutes

#### Tasks Completed
1. ✅ Built release binary (`cargo build --release --bin pmat`)
2. ✅ Tested on `src/utils/path_validator.rs` (352 lines, 11KB)
3. ✅ Verified mutant generation: **239 mutants generated successfully**
4. ✅ Confirmed command integration works end-to-end

#### Test Results
```bash
../target/release/pmat mutate --target src/utils/path_validator.rs --timeout 10
```

**Output:**
```
Generated 239 mutants
```

**Analysis:**
- Mutant generation is working correctly
- AST-based mutation infrastructure successfully integrated with CLI
- Command parses arguments correctly
- Baseline functionality verified

#### Known Limitations
- Execution phase takes time with large mutant counts (239 mutants × 10s timeout = ~40 minutes)
- Need to implement progress indicators for Day 3
- Output formatting (JSON, Markdown) not yet implemented

---

### Day 3 - Output Formats ✅ COMPLETE
**Date**: October 27, 2025
**Status**: JSON and Markdown formats implemented
**Time**: ~45 minutes

#### Tasks Completed
1. ✅ Implemented JSON output format (`--output-format json`)
2. ✅ Implemented Markdown output format (`--output-format markdown`)
3. ✅ Enhanced text output with detailed metrics
4. ✅ Added "Survived Mutants" section to Markdown for test gap identification
5. ✅ Compilation successful - ready for testing

#### Implementation Details

**JSON Output:**
- Full serialization of `MutationScore` and all `MutationResult` objects
- Pretty-printed for readability
- Compatible with CI/CD tools (jq, JSON parsers)
- Includes all mutant details: location, operator, status, execution time

**Markdown Output:**
- Summary table with metrics and percentages
- Mutation score prominently displayed
- "Survived Mutants" section listing test gaps with:
  - File location (line:column)
  - Mutation operator applied
  - Easy identification of where tests need improvement
- Suitable for GitHub PR comments and documentation

**Enhanced Text Output:**
- Clean, simple format for terminal use
- Shows all metrics (killed, survived, compile errors, timeouts, equivalent)
- Percentages calculated automatically
- Only shows relevant metrics (hides zeros)

#### Code Changes
- `server/src/cli/handlers/mutate.rs`:
  - Added `use serde::Serialize`
  - Created `MutationTestOutput` struct for JSON serialization
  - Implemented `output_json()` function (8 lines)
  - Implemented `output_markdown()` function (60 lines)
  - Enhanced `output_text()` function (44 lines)
  - Added format switching logic in main handler

#### Example Usage

```bash
# Text output (default)
pmat mutate --target src/utils/path_validator.rs

# JSON output (for CI/CD)
pmat mutate --target src/file.rs --output-format json > results.json

# Markdown output (for PR comments)
pmat mutate --target src/file.rs --output-format markdown > MUTATION_REPORT.md
```

### Day 4 - Progress Indicators ✅ COMPLETE
**Date**: October 27, 2025
**Status**: Progress bar and timing implemented
**Time**: ~45 minutes

#### Tasks Completed
1. ✅ Implemented real-time progress bar with percentage display
2. ✅ Added execution timing (start time, elapsed time display)
3. ✅ Created progress functions for parallel and sequential execution
4. ✅ Tested with real files - progress bar displays correctly
5. ✅ Compilation successful - ready for production

#### Implementation Details

**Progress Bar:**
- 40-character wide progress bar: `[========================================] 37/37 (100.0%)`
- Updates in real-time during mutation execution
- Uses carriage return (`\r`) for in-place updates
- Output to stderr (doesn't interfere with stdout formats)

**Execution Timing:**
- Start time tracked with `Instant::now()`
- Elapsed time displayed after completion: "Completed in X.Xs"
- Provides performance visibility for users

**Progress Functions:**
- `execute_with_progress()` - Handles parallel execution with 500ms update interval
- `execute_sequential_with_progress()` - Per-mutant progress updates for sequential execution
- `print_progress()` - Renders progress bar to stderr with flush

#### Code Changes
- `server/src/cli/handlers/mutate.rs`:
  - Added `std::time::{Duration, Instant}` imports
  - Added `execute_with_progress()` function (26 lines)
  - Added `execute_sequential_with_progress()` function (18 lines)
  - Added `print_progress()` function (21 lines)
  - Enhanced main handler with timing and progress display

#### Example Output

```
Generated 37 mutants

Executing mutants...
[========================================] 37/37 (100.0%)

Completed in 12.3s

Mutation Testing Results

Total mutants:  37
Killed:         30 (81.1%)
Survived:       7 (18.9%)

Mutation Score: 81.1%
```

#### Known Improvements for Future
- Current implementation shows animation during parallel execution (not exact real-time tracking)
- Future: Add shared progress state via Arc<RwLock<>> for true real-time updates
- Future: Add ETA (estimated time remaining) calculation

1. Add detailed mutant information to outputs
2. Implement `--failures-only` flag
3. Add color coding for terminal output
4. Test with multiple file sizes

---

### Sprint 63 - Multi-Language Support (Deferred from Days 6-7)
**Planned Tasks:**
1. Add language auto-detection
2. Implement Python mutation operators
3. Implement TypeScript mutation operators
4. Test with Python and TypeScript files

---

### Sprint 64 - Testing & Examples (Deferred from Days 8-9)
**Planned Tasks:**
1. Write unit tests for handler
2. Write integration tests for full workflow
3. Create examples for common use cases
4. Test threshold enforcement variations

---

## Technical Notes

### Mutation Engine Integration
The handler connects to PMAT's existing mutation infrastructure:
- `server/src/services/mutation/engine.rs` - `MutationEngine` (generates and executes mutants)
- `server/src/services/mutation/types.rs` - `MutationResult`, `MutationScore`
- `server/src/services/mutation/rust_tree_sitter_mutations.rs` - Rust mutation operators

### Command Flow
1. User runs `pmat mutate --target <file>`
2. Command dispatcher routes to `handlers/mutate::handle`
3. Handler creates `MutationEngine::default_rust()`
4. Engine generates mutants from file via tree-sitter AST
5. Engine executes mutants (parallel or sequential based on `--jobs`)
6. Results calculated as `MutationScore::from_results()`
7. Output formatted and displayed (text, JSON, or markdown)

### Key Design Decisions
- **Timeout per mutant**: Individual timeout prevents infinite loops from hanging entire run
- **Parallel execution**: Default to `num_cpus::get()` for optimal performance
- **Output formats**: Support CI/CD (JSON), PR comments (Markdown), and terminal (text)
- **Threshold enforcement**: Exit with error if mutation score below threshold

---

## Metrics

### Code Changes
- **Files Modified**: 6 files
- **Lines Added**: ~120 lines (commands.rs + handlers/mutate.rs)
- **Binary Size**: Release binary compiles successfully

### Test Coverage
- Command registration: ✅ Verified via `--help`
- Mutant generation: ✅ Verified with path_validator.rs (239 mutants)
- Mutant execution: ⏳ Tested but slow (need progress indicators)
- Output formatting: ⏳ Pending implementation

---

## Risk Assessment

### Low Risk ✅
- Command registration and routing - **DONE**
- Mutant generation - **VERIFIED**
- Integration with existing infrastructure - **WORKING**

### Medium Risk ⚠️
- Performance with large files (>1000 lines)
- Timeout handling for slow mutants
- Memory usage with high mutant counts

### High Risk 🚨
- Multi-language support complexity
- Output format compatibility with external tools
