## 2. Baseline Test Results Captured ✅

### 2.1 Full Parser Suite Baseline

**Execution Date**: 2025-11-23 at 19:21
**Command**: `npm test src/parser/`

```
Test Files:  25 total
  - Passed:  12 files
  - Failed:  13 files

Tests:       461 total
  - Passed:  386 tests (83.7%)
  - Failed:  68 tests (14.7%)
  - Skipped: 7 tests (1.6%)

Duration:    6.75 seconds
Performance: 9.79s test execution time
```

**This baseline is now our regression target**: Must maintain >= 386 passing tests throughout modularization.

### 2.2 Main Parser Test Baseline

**File**: src/parser/parser.test.ts
**Results**: 70/80 tests passing (87.5%)

**Test Categories**:
- ✅ Basic Expression Parsing (5/5 passing)

- ✅ Unary Expression Parsing (2/2 passing)
- ✅ Member Expression Parsing (4/4 passing)
- ✅ Call Expression Parsing (3/3 passing)
- ✅ Object Literal Parsing (4/4 passing)
- ✅ CSS Selector Parsing (4/4 passing)
- ⚠️ Event Handler Parsing (2/3 passing)
- ⚠️ Command Parsing (4/7 passing)
- ✅ Hyperscript Expression Parsing (4/4 passing)
- ✅ Parenthesized Expression Parsing (2/2 passing)
- ✅ Operator Precedence (3/3 passing)
- ⚠️ Complex Real-World Examples (3/6 passing)
- ⚠️ Error Handling and Edge Cases (4/7 passing)
- ✅ Error Handling - Added Tests (2/2 passing)
- ⚠️ Position Information (1/2 passing)
- ⚠️ Performance (0/2 passing)
- ✅ Local Variable Syntax (8/8 passing)
- ✅ Global Variable Syntax (8/8 passing)

**Known Failing Tests** (10 failures documented):
1. "should parse event handlers with selectors"
2. "should parse simple commands"
3. "should parse commands with targets"
4. "should parse add/remove class commands"
5. "should parse conditional with commands"
6. "should handle empty input"
7. "should provide meaningful error messages"
8. "should preserve source location for error reporting"
9. "should parse large expressions efficiently"
10. "should handle deeply nested expressions"

**Note**: These failures existed before modularization and should not regress further.

## 3. Test Strategy Document Created ✅

### 3.1 Document Overview

**Created**: [PHASE_9_TEST_STRATEGY.md](PHASE_9_TEST_STRATEGY.md)
**Size**: ~850 lines (comprehensive)

**Major Sections**:

1. **Current Test Landscape** - Inventory and baseline
2. **Testing Approach** - Three-phase strategy
3. **Module-Specific Testing** - Helpers and commands
4. **Regression Prevention** - Golden rules and validation
5. **Test Modifications Required** - Impact analysis
6. **New Tests to Add** - ~2,000 lines planned
7. **Performance Testing** - Benchmarks and monitoring
8. **Documentation Testing** - Coverage and docs
9. **Risk Mitigation** - High-risk areas and rollbacks
10. **Test Execution Plan** - Phase-by-phase validation
11. **Success Criteria** - Clear metrics and gates
12. **Maintenance Strategy** - Post-modularization care

### 3.2 Key Testing Principles Established

**Three-Phase Testing**:
- **Phase A**: Pre-extraction baseline ✅ COMPLETE
- **Phase B**: During extraction (continuous validation)
- **Phase C**: Post-extraction validation (full regression)

**Golden Rule**: Never decrease the pass count
- Baseline: 386/461 passing
- Allowed: Fix failures → increase pass count
- Forbidden: Introduce new failures

**Continuous Testing Requirements**:
- Run full suite after every extraction
- TypeScript validation
- Build validation
- Bundle size monitoring

**Acceptance Criteria**:
- ✅ No new test failures
- ✅ TypeScript: 0 errors
- ✅ Build: Success
- ✅ Performance: No degradation > 20%
- ✅ Bundle size: No increase > 10%

### 3.3 New Tests Planned

**Helper Module Tests** (~750 lines):
- token-helpers.test.ts (~200 lines)
- ast-helpers.test.ts (~300 lines)
- parsing-helpers.test.ts (~250 lines)

**Command Module Tests** (~1,240 lines):
- 12 command category test files
- Unit tests for each command parser
- Edge case coverage
- Integration validation

**Integration Tests** (~300 lines):
- Module boundary testing
- ParserContext validation
- Command routing across modules

**Total New Tests**: ~2,290 lines (40% increase in test coverage)

### 3.4 Mock Context Strategy

**Created Test Utility Pattern**:
```typescript
// For unit testing command parsers in isolation
function createMockParserContext(
  tokens: Token[] = [],
  options: Partial<ParserContext> = {}
): ParserContext {
  // Provides isolated context for testing
  // All 40+ methods mocked
  // Allows pure unit testing
}
```

**Benefits**:
- Isolated command parser testing
- Fast test execution
- Clear error messages
- Easy to debug

## 4. Risk Assessment ✅

### 4.1 High-Risk Areas Identified

**Risk 1: Circular Dependencies**
- **Likelihood**: Medium
- **Impact**: High (build failure)
- **Mitigation**: Strict import hierarchy, ESLint rules
- **Test**: Build after each extraction

**Risk 2: Context State Management**
- **Likelihood**: Medium
- **Impact**: Medium (subtle bugs)
- **Mitigation**: Comprehensive mock context, integration tests
- **Test**: Full suite validation

**Risk 3: Breaking Integration Tests**
- **Likelihood**: Low
- **Impact**: High (regression)
- **Mitigation**: Run full suite after every extraction
- **Test**: Zero new failures allowed

**Risk 4: Performance Degradation**
- **Likelihood**: Low
- **Impact**: Medium
- **Mitigation**: Performance benchmarks, continuous monitoring
- **Test**: Validate suite duration < 8 seconds

**Risk 5: Import Path Changes**
- **Likelihood**: Low
- **Impact**: Low (easily fixable)
- **Mitigation**: Barrel exports, careful path updates
- **Test**: TypeScript validation

### 4.2 Rollback Triggers Defined

**Immediate Rollback If**:
1. Pass count drops below 386
2. TypeScript errors introduced
3. Build fails
4. Performance degrades > 20%
5. Bundle size increases > 10%

**Rollback Process**:
```bash
git reset --hard HEAD~1
npm test src/parser/
npm run build:browser
```

**Recovery**: Re-attempt extraction with fixes

### 8.2 Modularization Impact Assessment

**Low Impact Areas** (safe to extract):
- Helper functions (pure, well-tested)
- Simple command parsers (good coverage)
- Token management (comprehensive tests)
- AST node creation (well-validated)

**Medium Impact Areas** (careful extraction):
- Complex command parsers (if, repeat, set)
- Expression parsing (deeply integrated)
- Multi-word command routing
- Error recovery logic

**High Impact Areas** (extract last):
- Main parser orchestration
- ParserContext creation
- Command routing logic
- Error handling coordination

**Strategy**: Extract low-impact first, build confidence, then tackle complex areas.
