Hard line breaks mid-paragraph make docs harder to edit and diff — a one-word change reflows and re-diffs the whole paragraph. Reflow all tracked non-vendor Markdown (plus vendor/AGENTS.md) so each prose paragraph is a single line; soft-wrapping is the editor's job. Fenced code, tables, and list structure are preserved (wrapped list items fold to one line per bullet). Documents the convention in AGENTS.md.

# RFC 002: Mutation testing as the coverage counterweight
|
|
|
|
Status: proposed
|
|
|
|
## Problem
|
|
|
|
The per-file 100% coverage gate (ADR 0007) proves every line *executes* under test — not that any assertion would notice if the line were wrong. Under agent-written tests, coverage pressure can produce execution-without-assertion. Mutation testing measures what coverage cannot: whether the suite *kills* deliberately injected bugs.
|
|
|
|
## Proposal
|
|
|
|
Stryker (`@stryker-mutator/vitest-runner`) over `packages/*/src`:
|
|
|
|
- **PR-scoped incremental runs** (changed files only) as a CI job — fast enough to gate merges once tuned.
|
|
- **Nightly full runs** with a tracked mutation score; start by recording, then set the threshold at the observed baseline and ratchet upward (same policy as coverage: thresholds only ever tighten).
|
|
- Surviving mutants are work items: an agent picks a survivor, writes the killing test, repeats — a well-shaped autonomous loop.
|
|
- Equivalent mutants (provably behavior-preserving) get annotated exclusions with reasons, mirroring the `/* v8 ignore */` policy.
|
|
|
|
## Plan
|
|
|
|
1. Add Stryker config scoped to one package (llm — smallest, most algorithmic) and measure runtime.
|
|
2. Expand to all packages; record baseline scores in the config.
|
|
3. Wire the nightly job; add the incremental PR job once runtime is acceptable.
|
|
|
|
## Risks
|
|
|
|
Runtime: mutation testing is expensive; per-file 100% coverage helps (every mutant is at least reached). If PR-scoped runs stay too slow, keep them nightly-only and rely on the score ratchet.
