Problem

The per-ticket gate sees only changed lines. Blind tests and redundant tests need a whole-codebase run. The plan rules the blind filters and the one-at-a-time redundant loop. This ticket needs increments 1 to 3.

Reproduce

n/a: feature ticket.

Approach

Source: docs/research/mutation-testing/plan-v1-2026-11-08.md, table "Increments, in order", row 4. The section "Rulings" is binding; do not re-decide it. Decompose against the plan before implementation.

Origin

  • Trigger: plan docs/research/mutation-testing/plan-v1-2026-11-08.md (commit b90d8253), ruled by Jared 2026-11-07 and 2026-11-08
  • Improvised this session: none
  • Chain: suite doubled in six weeks (757 test files, 3,572 test methods) ← suspected duplicated behavior and tests with no demonstrated value ← no mutation evidence in the gate. End: DESIGN (docs/research/mutation-testing/plan-v1-2026-11-08.md)
  • Root candidate: none found; searched mutation, mutineer, mutant, survivor, taxonomy, redundant test, blind test, duplicate, overlap, ledger
  • Where: plugins/os-sdlc (whole-codebase pass)
  • Session: ff703e34-8046-4b24-af68-6ef76d8aa338

Blocked on #1638 (increment 1, survivor gate), #1634 (increment 2, taxonomy classifier), and #1635 (increment 3, ruling ledger). Plan: docs/research/mutation-testing/plan-v1-2026-11-08.md, row 4.

Resolution

Done: MutationTest::Pass plans the whole-codebase Mutineer matrix run, reads the matrix, applies the three blind filters and the ledger, orders redundant candidates by kills, and checks one removal against a baseline; CLI os-sdlc-mutation-pass plan|report|removal-check.

Evidence: commit 0910331d on main; suite 3604 runs 0 failures; rubocop clean on 20 files; history row in docs/implementation-status/os-sdlc.md

Follow-ups: none; the first live whole-codebase run is a use of the tool, not a build step
