- **TDD Results**: 4/5 parser tests now passing (80% success rate)

#### **Transpiler Bug: String Type Handling Partially Fixed** (Issue #13)  
- **FIXED**: Ruchy `str` type now correctly maps to Rust `&str` in function parameters
- **FIXED**: `println!` macro generation working correctly
- **BEFORE**: `fn greet(name: str)` → `error[E0277]: str cannot be known at compilation time`
- **AFTER**: `fn greet(name: &str)` → Compiles successfully  
- **TDD Results**: 2/6 transpiler tests now passing (33% success rate)

#### **Development Methodology: EXTREME TDD Protocol**

```

## [1.9.2] - 2025-08-24

### 🚨 Critical Fix: Format Strings Now Work!

This emergency release fixes the #1 blocker that was preventing Ruchy from being usable for real work.

#### Fixed
- **Format strings in REPL**: `println("Result: {}", x)` now correctly outputs `Result: 42` instead of `Result: {} 42`
- **Multiple placeholders**: `println("{} + {} = {}", 1, 2, 3)` works correctly
- **Mixed types**: String and numeric values can be mixed in format strings
- **Expressions in format args**: `println("Sum: {}", a + b)` evaluates expressions

#### Impact
- **ruchy-book compatibility**: Jumps from 19% → ~40% (estimated)
- **rosetta-ruchy**: All algorithms can now display their results properly
- **Real-world usability**: Format strings are essential for any practical programming

#### Technical Details
The REPL's `evaluate_println` function was simply concatenating arguments with spaces instead of processing format placeholders. Now it:
1. Detects format strings by checking for `{}` placeholders
2. Evaluates all format arguments
3. Replaces placeholders with values in order
4. Falls back to space-separated concatenation for non-format cases

#### Tests Added
Comprehensive test suite in `tests/format_strings_test.rs` covering:
- Simple format strings
- Multiple placeholders
- Mixed types
- Expressions in arguments
- Format strings in loops
- Edge cases

- **List Support**: Arrays flow through pipelines correctly
- **Method Chaining**: Full support for method calls in pipeline stages
- **Function Calls**: Regular functions work as pipeline stages
- **Complete FP**: Functional programming paradigm fully enabled

### Examples Working:
```ruchy
42 |> println                          # Function calls
[1,2,3] |> dummy.len()                 # Method calls → 3
[1,2,3] |> dummy.reverse() |> dummy.first()  # Chaining → 3
"hello" |> dummy.to_upper() |> dummy.reverse()  # String pipeline → "OLLEH"
```

  - Pattern guards with `if` conditions: `n if n > 0 => "positive"`
  - Range patterns: `1..=10 => "small"` (inclusive), `1..10` (exclusive)
  - Or patterns: `1 | 2 | 3 => "small numbers"`
  - Complex combinations of all pattern types
- **Result/Option Constructors** - Already working
  - `Ok(value)`, `Err(error)` for Result types
  - `Some(value)`, `None` for Option types
  - Pattern matching on Result/Option types

// Top-level configuration
let environment = "production";
let servers = ["web-01", "web-02", "api-01"];

// File operations
write_file("config.txt", environment);
let config = read_file("config.txt");

// Functional programming
let web_servers = servers.filter(|s| s.starts_with("web"));
let report = web_servers.map(|s| "✅ " + s).reduce("", |acc, s| acc + s + "\n");
