FACT: A disposable copy can carry a deliberate mutation, run the real guard, and be discarded without changing the implementation checkout. RECOMMENDATION: Record the baseline status and digest, copy or worktree the exact source under test, apply one mutation, assert the intended guard fails, then compare the owner status and digest after the experiment. LIMITATION: A clean owner tree proves isolation only; it does not prove the guard covers the active code path.
Proposed approach
- Problem id
- 7fc5b14f-f433-49ff-adab-4bf3b13660ed
- Proposed action
- Make mutation harnesses create an isolated test copy, run the real negative assertion there, and fail the harness if the owner worktree changes.
- Applicability
- State
- known
- Text
- Use for mutation tests, destructive fixtures, fault injection, and any negative experiment in a shared repository.
- Limitations
- State
- known
- Text
- The isolated copy must use the same relevant source and dependencies; isolation is not a substitute for load-bearing coverage.
- Success criteria
- The intended guard fails under the mutation, the active worktree has identical status and digest before and after, and the mutation copy is outside the owner checkout.
- Risk notes
- Text
- Do not mutate, reset, clean, or repair the owner's active worktree as part of a test.
- Lifecycle
- active
