## Test Coverage Plan

### Operators Tested (RED Phase)

| Operator | Test Coverage | Expected Mutations |
|----------|---------------|-------------------|
| **AOR** (Arithmetic) | ✅ RED | `+` → `-`, `*`, `/` |
| **ROR** (Relational) | ✅ RED | `>` → `<`, `>=`, `<=` |
| **Strict Equality** | ✅ RED | `===` → `==`, `!==` |
| **Optional Chaining** | ✅ RED | `obj?.prop` → `obj.prop` |
| **Nullish Coalescing** | ✅ RED | `a ?? b` → `a \|\| b`, `b` |
| **Async/Await** | ✅ RED | Remove `await`, `async` |
| **Syntax Preservation** | ✅ RED | All mutants must parse |
| **Location Metadata** | ✅ RED | Line/column extraction |

### Test Fixtures

**calculator.ts** includes:
- Basic arithmetic (`add`, `subtract`, `multiply`, `divide`)
- Comparison operators (`isPositive`, `isEqual`, `isNotEqual`)
- Min/max functions (ternary operator testing)
- TypeScript-specific features:
  - Optional chaining: `obj?.nested?.value`
  - Nullish coalescing: `value ?? defaultValue`
  - Async/await: `async function fetchValue()`
  - Arrow functions: `const double = (x) => x * 2`
  - Type guards: `value is string`

**calculator.test.ts** includes:
- 100% branch coverage of calculator.ts
- Vitest test framework setup
- Edge case testing (division by zero, null/undefined handling)
- TypeScript-specific feature validation

## How to Run RED Tests

```bash
# Run all TypeScript mutation tests (expect failures)
cargo test --lib typescript_tree_sitter --features typescript-ast -- --include-ignored

# Run specific test
cargo test --lib red_test_typescript_arithmetic_operator_replacement --features typescript-ast -- --include-ignored

# Expected output: ALL TESTS FAIL (RED phase)
```

---

## What's Stubbed (GREEN Phase Work)

### 1. TreeSitterMutationOperator Trait
**File:** `server/src/services/mutation/tree_sitter_operators.rs`

```rust
// RED PHASE: Stub trait, tests fail
pub trait TreeSitterMutationOperator: Send + Sync {
    fn name(&self) -> &str;
    fn can_mutate(&self, node: &Node, source: &[u8]) -> bool;
    fn mutate(&self, node: &Node, source: &[u8]) -> Vec<MutatedSource>;
    fn kill_probability(&self) -> f64 { 0.5 }
}
```

**What's Missing (GREEN work):**
- `can_mutate()` always returns `false` (stub)
- `mutate()` returns empty vec (stub)
- No AST node type detection
- No source code transformation

### 2. TypeScript Mutation Operators
**File:** `server/src/services/mutation/typescript_tree_sitter_mutations.rs`

**5 Operators Stubbed:**
1. `TypeScriptBinaryOpMutation` - Arithmetic/relational
2. `TypeScriptStrictEqualityMutation` - `===` → `==`
3. `TypeScriptOptionalChainingMutation` - `?.` → `.`
4. `TypeScriptNullishCoalescingMutation` - `??` → `||`
5. `TypeScriptAsyncAwaitMutation` - Remove `async`/`await`

**What's Missing (GREEN work):**
- Tree-sitter AST node traversal
- Operator byte range extraction
- Source code splicing for mutations
- Node kind matching (`binary_expression`, `ternary_expression`, etc.)

### 3. Test Execution
**Not created yet - Deferred to next RED iteration**

Will need:
- `red_test_typescript_test_execution`
- `red_test_npm_test_detection`
- `red_test_jest_vitest_framework_detection`
- `red_test_test_failure_parsing`

---

## Verification

### RED Phase Success Criteria ✅

- [x] All test files created
- [x] All tests marked `#[ignore]` (RED expected)
- [x] Stub implementations in place
- [x] Dependencies configured
- [x] Test fixtures with comprehensive coverage
- [x] Module exports updated (`mod.rs`)

### Expected Test Failures

```bash
running 7 tests
test services::mutation::typescript_tree_sitter_mutations::tests::red_test_typescript_arithmetic_operator_replacement ... FAILED
test services::mutation::typescript_tree_sitter_mutations::tests::red_test_typescript_strict_equality_mutation ... FAILED
test services::mutation::typescript_tree_sitter_mutations::tests::red_test_typescript_optional_chaining_mutation ... FAILED
test services::mutation::typescript_tree_sitter_mutations::tests::red_test_typescript_nullish_coalescing_mutation ... FAILED
test services::mutation::typescript_tree_sitter_mutations::tests::red_test_typescript_async_await_mutation ... FAILED
test services::mutation::typescript_tree_sitter_mutations::tests::red_test_mutation_preserves_syntax ... FAILED
test services::mutation::typescript_tree_sitter_mutations::tests::red_test_mutation_location_metadata ... FAILED

test result: FAILED. 0 passed; 7 failed; 0 ignored; 0 measured; 0 filtered out
```

**This is CORRECT for RED phase! ✅**

## Next Steps: GREEN Phase (Day 3-5)

### Priority 1: Core AST Mutation (Day 3)

1. **Implement `can_mutate()` for binary operators:**
   ```rust
   fn can_mutate(&self, node: &Node, _source: &[u8]) -> bool {
       matches!(node.kind(), "binary_expression")
   }
   ```

2. **Implement `mutate()` with source splicing:**
   ```rust
   fn mutate(&self, node: &Node, source: &[u8]) -> Vec<MutatedSource> {
       let op_node = node.child_by_field_name("operator").unwrap();
       let op_text = &source[op_node.byte_range()];

       // Generate replacements based on operator type
       let replacements = match op_text {
           b"+" => vec!["-", "*", "/"],
           // ...
       };

       replacements.into_iter().map(|new_op| {
           let mut mutated = source.to_vec();
           mutated.splice(op_node.byte_range(), new_op.bytes());

           MutatedSource {
               source: String::from_utf8(mutated).unwrap(),
               description: format!("{} → {}", /* ... */),
               location: SourceLocation {
                   line: op_node.start_position().row + 1,
                   column: op_node.start_position().column + 1,
               },
           }
       }).collect()
   }
   ```

3. **Run tests - expect some to pass:**
   ```bash
   cargo test --lib red_test_typescript_arithmetic_operator_replacement --features typescript-ast -- --include-ignored
   # Expected: PASS ✅ (GREEN phase progress)
   ```

### Priority 2: TypeScript-Specific Operators (Day 4)

1. Implement `TypeScriptStrictEqualityMutation`
2. Implement `TypeScriptOptionalChainingMutation`
3. Implement `TypeScriptNullishCoalescingMutation`
4. Implement `TypeScriptAsyncAwaitMutation`

### Priority 3: Test Execution (Day 5)

1. Add RED tests for test execution
2. Implement `TypeScriptAdapter::run_tests()`
3. Detect npm/jest/vitest
4. Parse test failures
5. All tests passing ✅ (GREEN complete)

## Lessons Learned (RED Phase)

### ✅ What Went Well
1. **Clear test expectations:** Each test has explicit assertions for expected mutations
2. **Comprehensive fixtures:** TypeScript test fixture covers all mutation scenarios
3. **Stub-first approach:** All operators stubbed before testing - true TDD
4. **Dependency isolation:** tree-sitter deps properly gated by `typescript-ast` feature

### 🔧 Challenges
1. **Missing tree-sitter-typescript:** Had to add dependency (caught early)
2. **Feature flag complexity:** typescript-ast uses both swc + tree-sitter (intentional)
3. **Test helper complexity:** Finding specific AST nodes requires recursive traversal

### 🎯 Improvements for GREEN Phase
1. Extract AST traversal helpers into shared module
2. Add more RED tests for edge cases (empty files, syntax errors)
3. Consider property-based tests for mutation coverage
