+# Taurus v1.1.0 - Edge Case Resolution Plan
+
+**Date**: 2024-12-08
+**Current Version**: v1.0.0 (released)
+**Target Version**: v1.1.0
+**Objective**: Fix 4 pending edge cases to achieve 100% test pass rate
+
+## Current Status
+
+**v1.0.0 Released**: Production-ready with comprehensive features
+- **Tests**: 300/300 passing, 4 pending (98.7% pass rate)
+- **Features**: Complete XPath 1.0, full namespace support, helpful errors
+- **Documentation**: Complete and comprehensive
+
+**Pending Edge Cases** (4 tests):
+1. Parser issue with `axis::name` syntax
+2. `substring()` with negative positions
+3. UTF-8 encoding markers in substring results
+4. Mixed ASCII/UTF-8 substring handling
+
+## Phase 1: Axis Syntax Parser Fix
+
+### Issue Analysis
+
+**Failing Test**: `ancestor axis (ancestor::*) works with name test`
+- **Location**: `spec/taurus/element_xpath_spec.rb:252`
+- **Expected**: Support `axis::name` syntax (e.g., `ancestor::book`)
+- **Current**: Raises "Expected node test" error
+- **Root Cause**: Parser doesn't handle `axis::name` correctly
+
+### Technical Solution
+
+**Architecture**: Enhance XPath parser to fully support axis specifier syntax
+
+**Files to Modify**:
+1. `lib/src/xpath/parser.c` - Parse `axis::name` patterns
+2. `lib/src/xpath/lexer.c` - May need token handling verification
+
+**Implementation Strategy**:
+1. Identify where parser handles axis specifiers
+2. Add support for `::` followed by name test
+3. Create AST node with proper axis + name test combination
+4. Ensure backward compatibility with abbreviated syntax
+
+**Test Verification**:
+```ruby
+doc.xpath('//item/ancestor::book')  # Should return ancestor book elements
+```
+
+## Phase 2: Substring Negative Position Fix
+
+### Issue Analysis
+
+**Failing Test**: `substring() handles negative position`
+- **Location**: `spec/taurus/element_xpath_spec.rb:1064`
+- **Expected**: Return "1" for `substring("12345", 0, 3)`
+- **Current**: Returns "12" (incorrect behavior)
+- **Root Cause**: XPath spec treats position 0 specially
+
+### Technical Solution
+
+**Architecture**: Fix substring position calculation per XPath 1.0 spec
+
+**XPath 1.0 Specification**:
+- Positions are 1-based (first character is position 1)
+- Position 0 and negative positions are before the string
+- `substring(string, 0, 3)` should start before position 1
+
+**Files to Modify**:
+1. `lib/src/xpath/functions.c` - `xpath_func_substring()` implementation
+
+**Implementation Strategy**:
+1. Review XPath 1.0 spec for substring edge cases
+2. Handle position ≤ 0 correctly
+3. Adjust length calculation for negative start positions
+4. Handle length that extends beyond string
+
+**Algorithm**:
+```c
+// XPath positions are 1-based
+// Position 0 or negative means "before the string"
+// substring("12345", 0, 3) means:
+//   - Start at position 0 (before position 1)
+//   - Length 3 characters
+//   - Characters at positions 0, 0.x, 1
+//   - Result: only character at position 1 = "1"
+
+if (start_pos < 1.0) {
+    // Adjust length to account for starting before position 1
+    double chars_before = 1.0 - start_pos;
+    length -= chars_before;
+    start_pos = 1.0;
+}
+```
+
+## Phase 3: UTF-8 Encoding Marker Fix
+
+### Issue Analysis
+
+**Failing Tests**:
+1. `substring() counts UTF-8 characters not bytes`
+   - **Location**: `spec/taurus/element_xpath_spec.rb:1111`
+   - **Expected**: `"好世"` with UTF-8 encoding
+   - **Current**: `"\xE5\xA5\xBD\xE4\xB8\x96"` with ASCII-8BIT encoding
+
+2. `substring() handles mixed ASCII and UTF-8`
+   - **Location**: `spec/taurus/element_xpath_spec.rb:1118`
+   - **Expected**: `"世界"` with UTF-8 encoding
+   - **Current**: `"\xE4\xB8\x96\xE7\x95\x8C"` with ASCII-8BIT encoding
+
+### Technical Solution
+
+**Architecture**: Ensure proper UTF-8 encoding propagation from C to Ruby
+
+**Root Cause Analysis**:
+- **Bytes are correct** - The actual bytes are correct UTF-8
+- **Encoding marker differs** - Ruby string encoding is ASCII-8BIT instead of UTF-8
+- **Issue**: C string → Ruby string conversion doesn't preserve UTF-8 encoding
+
+**Files to Modify**:
+1. `lib/src/xpath/functions.c` - String function implementations
+2. Possibly `lib/taurus/ffi/` - FFI string conversion
+
+**Implementation Strategy**:
+
+**Option A: Force UTF-8 Encoding in C** (Recommended)
+```c
+// When creating Ruby string from C
+VALUE str = rb_str_new(ptr, len);
+rb_enc_associate(str, rb_utf8_encoding());  // Mark as UTF-8
+return str;
+```
+
+**Option B: Fix in FFI Layer**
+```ruby
+# In FFI bindings
+result = c_function_call(...)
+result.force_encoding(Encoding::UTF_8) if result.is_a?(String)
+```
+
+**Option C: Fix in XPath Function Wrapper**
+```ruby
+# In lib/taurus/xpath.rb or similar
+def xpath(expression)
+  result = native_xpath(expression)
+  result = fix_encoding(result) if result.is_a?(String)
+  result
+end
+
+def fix_encoding(str)
+  # UTF-8 bytes with wrong encoding marker
+  str.force_encoding(Encoding::UTF_8) if str.encoding == Encoding::ASCII_8BIT
+  str
+end
+```
+
+**Recommended Approach**: Option A (fix at source in C)
+- Most correct architecturally
+- Fixes problem at root cause
+- No need for workarounds elsewhere
+
+## Implementation Timeline
+
+### Session 1: Axis Syntax Parser (2-3 hours)
+1. **Read and analyze** parser code for axis handling
+2. **Design solution** for `axis::name` syntax support
+3. **Implement** parser changes with tests
+4. **Verify** no regressions in existing tests
+
+### Session 2: Substring Edge Cases (2-3 hours)
+1. **Study XPath 1.0 spec** for substring behavior
+2. **Implement** negative position handling
+3. **Fix UTF-8 encoding** marker issue
+4. **Test** all substring variations
+
+### Session 3: Verification & Release (1 hour)
+1. **Run full test suite**: Verify 304/304 passing (100%)
+2. **Update documentation**: CHANGELOG, README
+3. **Build gem**: taurus-1.1.0.gem
+4. **Release**: Tag and publish
+
+**Total Estimated Time**: 5-7 hours across 3 sessions
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+### Must Have ✅
+- [ ] All 304 tests passing (100% pass rate)
+- [ ] Zero regressions in existing functionality
+- [ ] All edge cases properly documented
+- [ ] Clean compilation with no warnings
+
+### Code Quality ✅
+- [ ] All files remain ≤700 lines
+- [ ] MECE architecture maintained
+- [ ] No code guards (architectural solutions only)
+- [ ] Comprehensive comments for edge case handling
+
+### Documentation ✅
+- [ ] CHANGELOG.md updated with v1.1.0 entry
+- [ ] README.adoc edge cases documented
+- [ ] Test coverage maintained at 100%
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+### Low Risk
+- **Axis syntax parser**: Well-defined XPath spec, clear fix
+- **Substring logic**: Spec is clear, just needs careful implementation
+- **UTF-8 encoding**: Simple fix at string creation
+
+### Mitigation Strategies
+- Test after each change
+- Use valgrind for memory safety
+- Verify no performance regression
+- Maintain backward compatibility
+
+## Future Enhancements (Post-v1.1.0)
+
+After achieving 100% test pass rate:
+
+### v1.2.0 Candidates
+- Custom namespace registration in C (currently auto-detect only)
+- Performance optimizations (object pooling, hash tables)
+- Additional XPath convenience methods
+
+### v2.0.0 Vision
+- XPath 2.0 selected features
+- Streaming API for large documents
+- XSLT 1.0 support
+
+## Architecture Principles
+
+### MECE (Mutually Exclusive, Collectively Exhaustive)
+- Each fix addresses one specific issue
+- Together, all fixes achieve 100% compliance
+- No overlap, no gaps
+
+### Object-Oriented Design
+- Parser handles syntax (axis::name)
+- Functions handle semantics (substring logic)
+- Encoding handled at string creation
+- Clean separation of concerns
+
+### Open/Closed Principle
+- Extend parser for new syntax
+- Don't modify core evaluation logic
+- Add encoding handling without changing function signatures
+
+### No Code Guards
+- Use proper algorithms for edge cases
+- No `#ifdef` for UTF-8 handling
+- Architectural solutions only
