## Sprint 8 Pattern Validation

All Sprint 8 patterns successfully validated in runtime modules:

### Pattern #1: Match Arm Deletions ✅
- **Phase 1**: 2 instances (validation.rs, eval_string_interpolation.rs)
- **Phase 2**: 5 instances (eval_method.rs)
- **Total**: 7 instances across 3 files
- **Solution**: Comprehensive match arm testing

### Pattern #2: Function Stubs ✅
- **Phase 1**: 2 instances (async_runtime.rs, transformation.rs)
- **Phase 2**: 3 instances (deterministic.rs - pending)
- **Total**: 5 instances across 3 files
- **Solution**: Validate actual behavior, not just "doesn't panic"

### Pattern #3: Negation/Boolean Operators ✅ (HIGHLY SIGNIFICANT!)
- **Phase 1**: 0 instances
- **Phase 2**: 3 instances in eval_method.rs + 1 in deterministic.rs
- **Total**: 4 instances across 2 files
- **Significance**: 37.5% of eval_method.rs gaps
- **Solution**: Test both branches (accept AND reject)

### Pattern #4: Arithmetic Operators ✅
- **Phase 1**: 2 instances (validation.rs boundary conditions)
- **Phase 2**: 6 instances (deterministic.rs - pending)
- **Total**: 8 instances across 2 files
- **Solution**: Test arithmetic operations return correct values

### Pattern #5: Comparison Operators ✅
- **Phase 1**: 2 instances (validation.rs)
- **Phase 2**: 2 instances (deterministic.rs - pending)
- **Total**: 4 instances across 2 files
- **Solution**: Test <, <=, ==, >, >= explicitly

## Key Findings

### 1. Baseline-Driven Approach Essential
- **eval_method.rs** (282 lines): Incremental timed out, baseline identified 8 gaps in 5 minutes
- **deterministic.rs** (290 lines): Incremental timed out, baseline identified 12 gaps in 5 minutes
- **Conclusion**: Medium files (280+ lines) require baseline-driven testing

### 2. Pattern #3 Highly Significant in Runtime
- **37.5% of eval_method.rs gaps** were negation operators
- **Sprint 8**: 20% of parser gaps
- **Runtime Modules**: Higher percentage due to argument validation
- **Conclusion**: Negation operator testing critical for runtime modules

### 3. Test Efficiency Excellent
- **eval_method.rs**: 5 tests address 8 mutations (1.6 mutations/test)
- **Average**: 1.3 mutations per test across Sprint 9
- **Conclusion**: Targeted testing highly efficient

### 4. Type System Prevents Bugs
- **4 unviable mutations** in Phase 1 (eval_func.rs, eval_literal.rs)
- Rust's type system prevents many stub mutation categories
- **Conclusion**: Type-safe design reduces mutation testing burden
