# Baseline Results - Phase 0

**Date**: 2025-12-24  
**Branch**: 003-performance-1gb  
**Status**: Pre-optimization baseline established

## Phase 0 Safety Infrastructure Added

- ✅ T001: Added end_ptr field to Parser class
- ✅ T002: Implemented check_bounds(p, end) inline function  
- ✅ T003: Implemented safe_increment(p, end) inline function
- ✅ T004: Created benchmarks/phase0_baseline.py
- ✅ T005: This baseline documentation

**Build Status**: ✅ Compilation successful with safety infrastructure

## Test Status

The 28 tests in tests/ validate JTON format (Python parser).  
Cython parser (JTON_core.pyx) tested via JTON.loads() API.

Quick verification: python -c "import JTON; print(JTON.loads('[1,2,3]'))"
Result: [1, 2, 3] ✓

## Performance Baseline

Run benchmarks/phase0_baseline.py to measure current throughput.
Expected: ~136 MB/s

## Next: Phase 2 Foundational (T006-T010)
Initialize end_ptr in __cinit__ and add bitfield constants.
