## 🎓 Lessons Learned

### What Worked Well

1. **Systematic Approach**: Tackling functions in order of complexity
2. **Helper Function Pattern**: Extracting single-responsibility helpers
3. **Code Reuse**: Sharing `compile_for_property_testing()` across features
4. **Incremental Validation**: Testing after each function refactored
5. **Clear Naming**: All helpers have descriptive, intention-revealing names
6. **Toyota Way Discipline**: Never bypassing quality gates paid off

### Refactoring Patterns Identified

1. **Report Generation Pattern**:
   - Split into JSON and text helpers
   - Orchestration function delegates to format-specific helpers
   - Complexity reduced by 50-70%

2. **Command Execution Pattern**:
   - Separate command execution from result processing
   - Extract verbose output handling
   - Reduces conditional complexity

3. **Parser Pattern**:
   - Extract sub-pattern parsing into helpers
   - Use helper functions for lookahead/backtracking
   - Simplifies control flow significantly

### Challenges Overcome

1. **Function Name Conflicts**: Renamed `parse_rest_pattern` to `parse_list_rest_pattern`
2. **Clippy Warnings**: Fixed nested or-patterns immediately
3. **Format Inconsistencies**: Applied `cargo fmt` before commits
4. **Complexity Measurement**: Verified reductions with PMAT

## 📈 Next Steps

### Remaining Violations (462 total)

| Category | Count | Priority | Estimated Effort |
|----------|-------|----------|------------------|
| **Entropy** | 55 | Medium | 5-10 sessions |
| **Duplicates** | 286 | Medium | 10-15 sessions |
| **Other** | 2 | Low | 1 session |

### Recommended Priority Order

1. **Option A: Continue Quality Violations** (Batch 16)
   - Target: Entropy violations (code duplication)
   - Approach: Identify most actionable patterns
   - Expected: -5 to -10 violations

2. **Option B: Switch to Zero Coverage** (Priority 3)
   - Target: 4-5 modules from 0% → 80%+ coverage
   - Impact: Test suite strengthening
   - Expected: Significant coverage gains

3. **Option C: Book Compatibility** (Priority 4)
   - Target: 81% → 95%+ compatibility
   - Impact: User-facing documentation accuracy
   - Expected: Fix 10-15 failing examples

### Recommendation

**Take a break!** Batches 14-15 represent a major achievement:
- 100% complexity error elimination in production code
- 100% SATD elimination
- 10 functions refactored
- 26 helper functions created
- 111 complexity points eliminated
- Zero regressions

**Next session priority**: Zero Coverage Module Testing (Priority 3) for test suite strengthening, OR continue with remaining quality violations if momentum is strong.
