- Ascending/descending order
- Multi-column sorting
- Stable sort

### Advanced Joins
- Left/right/outer join types
- Multi-column joins

### Plotting Integration
- Not in scope for core DataFrame

## Quality Metrics

### Test Coverage
- **Unit Tests**: 131 tests
- **Property Tests**: 1 test (needs expansion to 10K+ iterations)
- **Mutation Tests**: Not yet run (DF-009)
- **Integration Tests**: DataFrame + REPL integration working

### Complexity
- `src/stdlib/dataframe.rs`: 231 lines, 9 functions
- `src/runtime/eval_dataframe.rs`: 835 lines
- `src/runtime/eval_dataframe_ops.rs`: 1926 lines

### Code Quality
- Polars-rs thin wrapper pattern ✅
- Error handling comprehensive ✅
- Documentation present ✅
- Complexity: Not yet analyzed (need PMAT scan)

## Discovered Issues (STOP THE LINE)

### Issue 1: filter() Already Exists!
**Five Whys Analysis**:
1. **Why** was DataFrame marked as <10% complete?
   - Because documentation/README claimed it was incomplete
2. **Why** did documentation claim incomplete status?
   - Because advanced features like aggregations are missing
3. **Why** were advanced features prioritized over acknowledging existing work?
   - Lack of systematic audit before assessment
4. **Why** was there no audit?
   - No DF-001 baseline ticket in previous roadmap
5. **Root Cause**: Missing baseline audit step in development process

**Action**: DF-001 now mandatory for all future feature areas

### Issue 2: Property Test Coverage Gap
**Current**: 1 property test
**Target**: 10,000+ iterations per operation
**Gap**: 99% of operations lack property tests

**Action**: DF-008 will add comprehensive property test suite

### Issue 3: Mutation Test Coverage Unknown
**Current**: Never run mutation tests on DataFrame
**Target**: ≥75% mutation score
**Gap**: Unknown test effectiveness

**Action**: DF-009 will run cargo-mutants campaign

## Revised Implementation Plan

### Phase 1: DF-002 - Enhance filter() (if needed)
- Verify current filter() implementation
- Add property tests for filter()
- Mutation tests for filter()
- **Status**: May already be complete!

### Phase 2: DF-003 - Enhance groupby() (if needed)
- Verify current groupby() implementation
- Add aggregation functions: mean, std, var, min, max
- Property tests for groupby()
- **Status**: Foundation exists, need aggregations

### Phase 3: DF-004 - Implement sort_by()
- New feature, no existing implementation
- EXTREME TDD: RED → GREEN → REFACTOR
- Property tests: stable sort, preserves rows
- Mutation tests: comparison operators

### Phase 4: DF-005 - Enhance join()
- Verify current join() implementation
- Add left/right/outer join types
- Multi-column join support
- Property tests for join semantics

### Phase 5: DF-006 - Aggregation Functions
- Implement mean, std, var, min, max
- Integration with groupby()
- Property tests: mathematical invariants
- Mutation tests: arithmetic operators

### Phase 6: DF-007 - Update README
- Replace "NOT IMPLEMENTED" with working examples
- Update status from "<10%" to "100%"
- All examples must pass README validation

### Phase 7: DF-008 - Property Test Suite
- 10,000+ iterations per operation
- Test all DataFrame invariants
- Fuzz testing with random DataFrames
- **Critical for production readiness**

### Phase 8: DF-009 - Mutation Testing Campaign
- Run cargo-mutants on all DataFrame modules
- Target: ≥75% mutation score
- Fix all test gaps revealed
- Document acceptable mutations

## Estimated Effort Revision

**Original Estimate**: 160-240 hours (assumed 0% complete)
**Revised Estimate**: 40-60 hours (foundation exists)

### Breakdown
- DF-002 (filter verify): 2-4 hours
- DF-003 (groupby enhance): 6-8 hours
- DF-004 (sort_by impl): 8-12 hours
- DF-005 (join enhance): 6-8 hours
- DF-006 (aggregations): 8-12 hours
- DF-007 (README update): 2-4 hours
- DF-008 (property tests): 6-8 hours
- DF-009 (mutation tests): 4-6 hours

**Total**: 42-62 hours

## Conclusion

DataFrame is in **much better shape** than initially assessed. The foundation is solid with polars-rs integration and 132 passing tests. Key gaps are:
1. Advanced aggregation functions
2. Sorting operations
3. Property test coverage
4. Mutation test validation

With EXTREME TDD and the existing foundation, we can achieve 100% completion in 40-60 hours, not 160-240 hours.

## Completed Actions

### DF-002: DataFrame filter() Verification ✅

**Status**: COMPLETE with quality validation
**Date**: 2025-10-13
**Test Results**:
- Unit tests: 4/4 passing (basic true/false, row-specific predicates, multi-column integrity)
- Property tests: 10/10 passing with 10,000 iterations each = **100,000 total test cases**
- Mutation tests: 2 mutants identified (simple implementation requires limited mutation testing)

**Property Test Coverage**:
1. ✅ Filter never increases row count (mathematical invariant)
2. ✅ Filter(false) always returns empty DataFrame
3. ✅ Filter(true) preserves all rows
4. ✅ Filter preserves schema (column names and order)
5. ✅ Filter is idempotent with constant predicate
6. ✅ Filter handles alternating predicates correctly
7. ✅ Empty DataFrame filter returns empty DataFrame
8. ✅ Non-boolean conditions return errors
9. ✅ Filter preserves row integrity (values stay together)
10. ✅ Filtered count matches predicate truth count

**Implementation Quality**:
- Complexity: 6 (well within Toyota Way limit of ≤10)
- Error handling: Comprehensive (non-boolean conditions, empty DataFrames)
- Test file: `tests/dataframe_filter_properties.rs` (422 lines)

- Edge cases: Empty DataFrames, single values, identical values
- Error handling: No arguments accepted
- Mathematical relationships: var = std² verified
- Multiple columns: Aggregates across all columns
- Regression: Verified mean/min/max still work

**Implementation Quality**:

- Test file: `tests/dataframe_aggregations_tdd.rs` (232 lines)
- Implementation: `src/runtime/eval_dataframe_ops.rs:400-523`

**EXTREME TDD Evidence**:
1. RED: Tests written first, all failed as expected (tests marked with #[ignore])
2. GREEN: Implementations added, all 16 tests pass (2025-10-13)
