Every finding from the autonomous quality loop lands here — what shipped, what's mid-flight, and what's queued — scored by complexity, impact, and a little bit of wow.
core/store.pyCut mutmut survivors 54 → 29 and uncovered a latent
timestamp-preservation bug the old tests masked (second-precision
now_iso() collisions hid installed_at/tags
preservation mutants).
core/gitutil.py35 → 1 survivor via argv-assertion tests that record the exact
git command line — sidestepping the macOS case-insensitive filesystem
that let HEAD/head, .git/.GIT and
git/GIT mutants survive against a real repo.
core/frontmatter.py34 → 11 survivors with exact-equality tests, replacing
substring in checks a mutated string literal still
satisfied (e.g. dump()'s XX%s:XX still
contains tags:).
The loop now runs commit → PR → green CI → squash-merge → release in a
dedicated ~/boost-loop git worktree (own venv for mutmut),
and modern git 2.55 replaced a 2017 build that
fatally choked on the global zdiff3 config.
Root cause found: a bogus mutants/None gitlink (a stray
mutmut artifact) was committed with no .gitmodules entry,
so Pages' submodule checkout aborts with
fatal: No url found for submodule path 'mutants/None'.
Fix: stop tracking mutants/.
Over a hundred mutants/**, __pycache__/*.pyc
and .coverage files are tracked despite being in
.gitignore — they churn every diff and forced careful
path-scoped git adds. Remove from the index.
docs/index.html inlines its own amber/orange palette
instead of the canonical Aurora cyan→violet→pink system in
style/boost.css. Move it onto the shared stylesheet so
one token edit recolours the guide, roadmap, and demo together.
core/Work down the remaining survivor counts, biggest first: catalog (27), util (26), ai (21), registry (20), lockfile (13), policy (12), config (9), output (8), agents (6), paths (4).
commands/ under mutation testingThe ~5,000-line CLI command layer has zero mutation
coverage today — mutmut is scoped to core/ only. Extend
the gate (or a second gate) to the command groups.
Drive docs/index.html in a real browser across breakpoints
to confirm the glass cards, aurora, and terminal windows render
cleanly — and to catch anything the theme reconciliation shifts.
Re-record docs/demo.gif from demo.tape against
the current CLI, tighten the README hero, and give the landing page a
flashier first impression that matches the Aurora theme.
