+# Phase 3 behavior-focused coverage report — 2026-08-30
+
+Phase 3 used `coverage/coverage-final.json` and `npm run coverage:gaps` to count
+production functions and branches. The checked baseline is
+`tests/coverage-data/phase3-baseline.json`; retained P0/P1 gaps are classified in
+`tests/coverage-data/phase3-reviewed-gaps.json`.
+
+## Outcome
+
+- Production functions: **437/540 → 496/542**. At least 59 previously
+  unexecuted functions now have behavior-driven hits, exceeding the 40-function
+  milestone. V8 discovered two additional nested callback functions when their
+  containing paths first executed.
+- Production branches: **2333/3351 → 2919/3956**. Covered branches increased by
+  586. V8 exposes additional branch sites when previously cold functions run,
+  so both numerator and denominator grow; the final production ratio is 73.79%.
+- Full c8 snapshot: **87.92% statements/lines, 73.90% branches, 91.80%
+  functions**.
+- No target file lost covered functions or branches relative to the baseline.
+- No production defect was discovered, so Phase 3 required no compatibility or
+  behavior change.
+
+## Target files
+
+| Priority | File | Functions before → after | Covered branches before → after |
+|---|---|---:|---:|
+| P0 | `services/numbering-helpers.js` | 0/18 → 18/18 | 1 → 109 |
+| P0 | `orchestration/route-plan.js` | 0/6 → 6/6 | 1 → 37 |
+| P0 | `orchestration/list-markdown.js` | 0/6 → 6/6 | 1 → 39 |
+| P0 | `pipeline/patching.js` | 6/12 → 12/12 | 36 → 121 |
+| P0 | `engine/format-span-application.js` | 2/5 → 5/5 | 10 → 40 |
+| P1 | `orchestration/list-structural-fallback.js` | 8/17 → 17/17 | 44 → 162 |
+| P1 | `engine/table-mode.js` | 2/3 → 3/3 | 6 → 13 |
+| P1 | `core/table-targeting.js` | 7/11 → 11/11 | 22 → 99 |
+| P1 | `services/standalone-operation-runner.js` | 41/50 → 42/52 | 255 → 284 |
+| P1 | `pipeline/pipeline.js` | 7/12 → 12/12 | 28 → 57 |
+
+Branch totals are intentionally omitted from the last column because V8 did
+not expose all cold-function branch sites at baseline. The checked regression
+gate compares covered counts, while the JSON report retains current totals.
+
+## Behavior matrices added
+
+- Numbering: missing/malformed parts, identifier collisions, preferred-range
+  overflow, independent-document determinism, pair reservation, paragraph
+  reference overwrite/extraction, explicit starts, payload remapping, schema
+  ordering, duplicate idempotence, and malformed merge fallback.
+- Routing and list markdown: every route kind, list/table precedence, literal
+  escapes, empty and block inputs, ordered/unordered lists, nesting/outdenting,
+  marker stripping, decimal/alpha/Roman styles, and alpha rollover past Z.
+- Patching and format spans: offset zero/end, run boundaries, whitespace,
+  hyperlink/structural runs, insert/delete/equal, containers, multiline list
+  insertion, style selection, overlapping hints, empty spans, and final-character
+  formatting with tracked/untracked output assertions.
+- Structural list fallback: detection/rejection, existing numbering, explicit
+  sequence reuse/reset, binding cleanup/preservation, injected generation
+  failure, start overrides, and trailing paragraph cleanup.
+- Tables and pipeline: paragraph-block inference, symmetric row insertion,
+  ambiguity/no-mutation, nested tables, table no-ops, validation modes, web
+  yielding, wrapping, indentation, and valid/invalid table generation.
+- Standalone runner: highlighting, localized preservation, stop-on-error,
+  atomic artifact rollback, non-atomic retention, and malformed-document errors.
+  Existing tests continue to cover mixed ordering, comments, numbering artifacts,
+  target snapshot invalidation, and full continue-on-error batches.
+
+## Reviewed retained gaps
+
+All P0 functions are covered. The ten remaining P1 function entries are nine
+empty default logging callbacks and one last-resort paragraph constructor whose
+failure prerequisite cannot be injected through a supported API. They contain
+no untested routing or identifier behavior and are retained for diagnostics and
+content-preserving defense. Exact locations and classifications are stored in
+`tests/coverage-data/phase3-reviewed-gaps.json`.

+# Multi-Level Bullets & Numbered Lists Visual & Non-Visual Review — 2026-09-02
+
+- **Evaluation Type:** Multi-Level List Verification (Visual + Non-Visual Semantic Suite)
+- **Target Structure:** Bullets and Numbered Lists with Multiple Changes Across Multiple Levels (Levels 0, 1, 2)
+- **Renderer:** Microsoft Word 16.0 (Build 16.0.20326) via COM `ExportAsFixedFormat`
+- **Non-Visual Test Suite:** [`tests/multilevel_bullet_tests.mjs`](../../tests/multilevel_bullet_tests.mjs) (5/5 passing)
+- **Visual Evidence Directory:** `tmp/multilevel-bullet-visual/`
+
+---
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+Nested lists with changes at multiple levels represent one of the highest-complexity challenges in OOXML tracked changes. Potential failure modes include:
+1. **Level Flattening:** Edits inside nested items (Level 1 or 2) dropping `w:ilvl`, causing Word to render the item at the margin (Level 0).
+2. **Double Promotion:** Child bullets indented with leading spaces receiving an additional level bump, placing them at Level 3 instead of Level 2.
+3. **Ghost Bullets:** Deleting or inserting items leaving orphaned `<w:pPr>` paragraph markers that render as empty bullets in Word.
+4. **Numbering Stream Disruption:** Inserting a sub-item disrupting the sequential numbering of sibling items or outer parent items.
+
+To thoroughly address this, we implemented a dual validation strategy:
+- **Non-Visual Suite:** 5 automated tests in [`tests/multilevel_bullet_tests.mjs`](../../tests/multilevel_bullet_tests.mjs) asserting on exact OOXML `w:numPr` (`w:numId`, `w:ilvl`), paragraph mark tracking, format boundary isolation, and accept/reject symmetry.
+- **Visual Suite:** Direct desktop Microsoft Word COM rendering across 3 layout-sensitive multi-level test cases (both synthetic and authentic legal/administrative documents), inspected with multimodal vision across `allMarkup`, `acceptAll`, and `rejectAll` views.
+
+---
+
+## Non-Visual Semantic Test Suite
+
+All 5 tests in [`tests/multilevel_bullet_tests.mjs`](../../tests/multilevel_bullet_tests.mjs) execute as part of `npm test`:
+
+| Test Name | Scenario & Coverage | Assertions & Invariants | Result |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `testNestedChildInsertionAtMultipleLevels` | Inserting a Level 2 bullet under a Level 1 parent item. | Verifies `ilvl="2"` assigned to child; `acceptAll` yields 7 paragraphs with levels `[0, 1, 2, 2, 2, 1, 0]`; `rejectAll` restores original 6 paragraphs. | **PASS** |
+| `testConcurrentEditsAcrossAllThreeLevels` | Batch of concurrent edits modifying Level 0, Level 1, and two Level 2 items simultaneously. | Verifies all 3 levels retain exact `ilvl` without level drift (`[0, 1, 2, 2, 1, 0]`); text replacement exact; zero formatting leakage. | **PASS** |
+| `testLevelFlatteningGuard` | Directly guards against the visual defect of level flattening when editing a nested item. | Asserts that modifying a Level 2 item strictly maintains `w:ilvl w:val="2"` and never omits `w:ilvl`. | **PASS** |
+| `testFormattingPreservationAcrossLevels` | Applying bold markdown (`**text**`) to a Level 2 item. | Verifies Level 2 item retains `ilvl="2"`, while parent Level 1 and sibling Level 2 items contain no bold run properties. | **PASS** |
+| `testMultiLevelRangeDeletionAndAcceptance` | Consolidating two adjacent Level 2 items into a single modified item. | Verifies paragraph count reduces from 6 to 5; remaining consolidated item retains `ilvl="2"`; rejection cleanly restores both items. | **PASS** |
+
+### Core Engine Improvement: Child Promotion Guard
+During development, we identified and fixed a subtle double-promotion bug in [`core/list-targeting.js`](../../core/list-targeting.js#L123): when an author provided markdown input that was *already* indented with leading spaces (e.g. `  - Sub-item`), `resolveInsertionLevel` placed it at `anchorLevel + 1`. The subsequent `shouldPromoteBulletInsertionsToChildDepth` check added a second level increment, pushing it to `anchorLevel + 2` (`ilvl=3`). Adding an `alreadyIndented` check prevents this double bump, ensuring child bullets consistently settle at `ilvl=2`.
+

+
+## Visual Word COM Evidence & Multimodal Inspection
+
+We rendered three layout-sensitive multi-level list documents in desktop Microsoft Word 16.0:
+
+### Case 1: Synthetic Multi-Level List (`administrative-list-change-nested-child`)
+- **Structure:** 2-level numbered outline (Level 0 items `1.`, `2.`, and Level 1 sub-items `1.`, `2.`, `3.`).
+- **Operation:** Inserting a new child item (`Escalate unresolved notifications.`) directly below `Disclosure obligations.`
+- **Visual Observations:**
+  - **All Markup:** Red underlined insertion appears at the exact child indent; sibling items below (`Notify affected parties.`, `Preserve supporting records.`) shift down smoothly with renumbering strikes (`1.2.`, `2.3.`). Margin revision bar is present.
+  - **Accept All:** Sub-items cleanly renumber `1.`, `2.`, `3.` under Item 1; Item 2 (`Remediation obligations.`) remains at the outer margin.
+  - **Reject All:** Exactly restores original 4 paragraphs without blank space or ghost markers.
+  - **Verdict:** **PASS**
+
+### Case 2: Municipal Board Agenda (`superdoc:administrative-list-change-board-agenda-multiple-children`)
+- **Structure:** Mixed hierarchy with lettered sections (`A.`, `B.`, `C.`, `D.`), numbered reports (`1.`, `2.`, `3.`, `4.`, `5.`), and dash/bullet sub-items.
+- **Operation:** Inserting two new bullet children (`Review meter replacement progress.`, `Confirm hydrant inspection dates.`) under `2. Water District Report`.
+- **Visual Observations:**
+  - **All Markup:** The two newly inserted bullets appear with red underline and bullet glyphs (`•`) at hanging indent 0.5 in. Margin bar indicates change.
+  - **Accept All:** Bullets line up with sub-item indent; numbered items `3. Code Enforcement`, `4. WWTP Report`, `5. Tax Collector Report` maintain their outer alignment and numbering.
+  - **Reject All:** Returns to exact 5 numbered report items with zero extra bullets.
+  - **Verdict:** **PASS**
+
+### Case 3: Corporate Bylaws Multi-Level Batch (`superdoc:legal-bylaws-nested-list-batch`)
+- **Structure:** 7-page legal bylaws document containing Roman numeral Articles (`I.`, `II.`, `III.`), lettered sections (`A. Officers`, `B. Time of Election`), and bullet items.
+- **Operation:** Concurrent multi-level edits on Page 2:
+  - Level 0: Section II title text replacement (`comprised` -> `composed`).
+  - Level 1: Four bullet item edits under Section II removing parenthesized numbers and updating city representation text.
+  - Level 1: Subsection A title text update (`Vice-Chair` hyphenation).
+- **Visual Observations:**
+  - **All Markup:** Red strikethroughs and additions render inline within the bullets; hanging indents for Roman numerals (`II.`, `III.`) and bullet points remain completely aligned.
+  - **Accept All:** Text flows seamlessly; bullet points retain uniform left margin; subsection letters `A.` and `B.` align with Section III text.
+  - **Pagination:** Exactly 7 pages across all 3 views (`allMarkup`, `acceptAll`, `rejectAll`).
+  - **Verdict:** **PASS**
+
+---
+
+## Conclusion
+
+The dual test suite confirms that `@ansonlai/docx-redline-js` robustly handles multi-level lists with concurrent edits across multiple levels:
+1. `w:ilvl` values are strictly preserved across single-item edits, subtree additions, and range consolidations.
+2. Microsoft Word renders the resulting OOXML with exact typography, proper hanging indents, and zero ghost markers or level collapsing.

+# Multimodal LLM Visual Inspection Samples Report — 2026-09-02
+
+- **Evaluation Type:** Multimodal LLM Visual Inspection (Real-Document Spot Check)
+- **Source Corpus:** SuperDoc Legal & Administrative Corpus
+- **Evaluator:** Multimodal Vision AI Model
+- **Target Samples:** 3 Real Documents (Municipal Board Agenda, Parish Council Financial Minutes, City Zoning Ordinance)
+- **Renderer:** Microsoft Word 16.0 (Build 16.0.20326) via `ExportAsFixedFormat`
+- **Sample Generation Command:** `npm run test:visual:sample` / `node scripts/sample-multimodal-visual-check.mjs`
+
+---
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+As defined in [`docs/TESTING.md`](../TESTING.md#multimodal-llm-visual-inspection-real-document-spot-checks), multimodal LLM visual inspection is an on-demand, sampled evaluation conducted on real-world documents to detect subtle layout, table, list, and typographical regressions that programmatic string/XML diffs cannot observe.
+
+This report documents a complete end-to-end execution of the multimodal visual spot-check workflow across three authentic documents representing different layout complexities:
+
+| Sample | Scenario Identity | Category & Shape | Document Size | Visual Evaluation |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| **Sample 1** | `superdoc:administrative-multi-bullet-board-agenda` | Administrative / List (Logo & Mixed Hierarchy) | 1 Page | **PASS** — Flawless list levels, zero ghost markers, image header intact |
+| **Sample 2** | `superdoc:administrative-multi-table-council-minutes` | Administrative / Table (Financial Grid) | 2 Pages | **PASS** — Shaded table header, grid lines, and column widths preserved |
+| **Sample 3** | `superdoc:legal-complex-zoning-list-table-batch` | Legal / Multi-Page Complex Ordinance | 25 Pages | **PASS** — Page 4 sub-clauses aligned, font size stable, 25-page count preserved |
+
+---
+
+## Detailed Sample Evaluations
+
+### Sample 1: Municipal Board Agenda (`administrative-multi-bullet-board-agenda`)
+
+- **Document Type:** Town of Prattsville Board Agenda (Public Meeting)
+- **Visual Features:** Graphic logo header (`PRATTSVILLE Est. 1824`), lettered agenda sections (A., B., C., D.), dash sub-bullets, and numbered report sections (1–5, 1–8).

+  - Item C: Replacement of `FINANCIALS` with `FINANCIAL` (`APPROVAL OF THE MONTHLY FINANCIAL REPORT`).
+  - Item D: Replacement of `/ CORRESPONDENCE FROM THE COMMUNITY` with `AND COMMUNITY CORRESPONDENCE`.
+
+#### Multimodal Visual Checklist:
+
+1. **Markup Visibility (`allMarkup`):**
+   - Insertions (`THE`, `FINANCIAL`, `AND COMMUNITY CORRESPONDENCE`) appear cleanly in red underline.
+   - Deletions (`FINANCIALS`, `/ CORRESPONDENCE FROM THE COMMUNITY`) show distinct strikethrough without clipping surrounding text.
+   - Revision change bars are correctly rendered in the left margin.
+2. **Accepted State (`acceptAll`):**
+   - Text flows naturally with correct single spacing between words.
+   - Line wrapping on Item D (`D. COMMENTS FROM THE FLOOR AND COMMUNITY\nCORRESPONDENCE`) conforms cleanly to document margins.
+   - Zero stray revision artifacts or misplaced spaces.
+3. **Rejected State (`rejectAll`):**
+   - Accurately restores the exact original wording and layout.
+   - Dash bullets (`- Pledge of Allegiance`, `- Roll Call`) and numbered items remain in place without marker displacement.
+4. **Structural Integrity:**
+   - The graphic logo and centered meeting header remain in identical coordinate positions.
+   - **Verdict:** **PASS**
+
+---
+
+### Sample 2: Parish Council Financial Minutes (`administrative-multi-table-council-minutes`)
+
+- **Document Type:** Cholmondeley & Chorley Parish Council Minutes
+- **Visual Features:** Multi-table document with light-blue shaded header rows, grid borders, numeric currency columns (`Amount`), multi-line descriptions, and two-column attendee headers.
+- **Operations Evaluated:**
+  - Table Header: Replacement of `date` with `Date` (`Invoice Date`).
+  - Row 1: Replacement of `Payroll` with `Payroll,` (`Payroll, April 2023-March 2024`).
+  - Row 3: Replacement of `Jan-March2024tax,` with `, January-March 2024` (`HMRC tax, January-March 2024`).
+
+#### Multimodal Visual Checklist:
+
+1. **Markup Visibility (`allMarkup`):**
+   - Strikethroughs and red underlines inside table cells remain strictly contained within their respective cells.
+   - No text overflow into adjacent columns (`Account name`, `Amount`).
+2. **Table Grid & Cell Properties:**
+   - Header shading (`fill="#EBF1F5"`) remains unbroken across all four columns.
+   - Column widths remain stable; the narrow `Amount` column does not expand or collapse.
+   - Outer border and interior cell gridlines render continuously without hairline gaps.
+3. **Accepted State (`acceptAll`):**
+   - "Invoice Date" renders with proper capitalization and bold formatting.
+   - Punctuation and spacing around currency amounts and date ranges are clean and readable.
+4. **Page Layout:**

+  - Definition "Accessory dwelling unit", sub-item 2: Insertion of `California` (`...Section 18007 of the California Health and Safety Code.`).
+
+#### Multimodal Visual Checklist:
+
+1. **Markup Visibility (`allMarkup`):**
+   - Red underlined additions appear precisely adjacent to statutory section numbers on page 4.
+   - Vertical revision bars appear cleanly in the left margin.
+2. **Accepted State (`acceptAll`):**
+   - Statutory phrases flow seamlessly into the legal definitions.
+   - List numbering (`1.`, `2.`) maintains uniform hanging indent alignment.
+   - Font family and point size remain completely uniform with the surrounding body text (no unstyled font fallback).
+3. **Document-Wide Pagination Stability:**
+   - Across the entire 25-page document, page counts are identical (25 pages in `allMarkup`, 25 pages in `acceptAll`, 25 pages in `rejectAll`).
+   - Centered footer (`- 4 -`) and top section headings (`SECTION 1. Section 19.08.030...`) remain aligned.
+   - **Verdict:** **PASS**
+
+---
+
+## Conclusion & Recommendations
+
+The multimodal visual spot checks confirmed that desktop Microsoft Word renders the engine's OOXML output with complete layout, typographical, and structural fidelity:
+- Table grids, borders, and cell background shading are preserved.
+- Mixed list hierarchies (dashes, numbers, letters) maintain exact hanging indents without ghost markers.
+- Long-document pagination (up to 25 pages) does not drift across revision states.
+- Running `npm run test:visual:sample` provides a fast, repeatable mechanism to package and inspect real-document spot checks on demand.

+## 1. Automated Semantic Visual Failure Regressions
+
+To prevent visual failures before documents reach Word, [`tests/visual_failure_regression_tests.mjs`](file:///c:/Users/Phara/Desktop/Projects/Docx%20Redline%20JS/tests/visual_failure_regression_tests.mjs) tests the OOXML properties that govern Word layout and rendering:
+
+| Visual Failure Mode | Failure Mechanism in Word | Semantic Guardrail Assertion | Status |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| **Footnote Superscript Bleed** | Replacement adjacent to footnote reference inherits `w:vertAlign="superscript"`, shrinking and raising normal text. | Insertion runs explicitly forbid `w:vertAlign`. | **Pass** |
+| **Highlight Bleed** | Edits adjacent to highlighted runs bleed highlight onto plain text. | Plain insertion runs forbid `w:highlight`. | **Pass** |
+| **Underline Bleed** | Edits adjacent to underlined titles or terms bleed underline into surrounding text. | Trailing insertion runs forbid `w:u`. | **Pass** |
+| **Font & Size Reset (Hyperlink Boundary)** | Edits crossing hyperlinks lose run properties, causing Word to fall back from 14pt Georgia to 12pt Normal default. | Insertion runs retain explicit `w:sz="28"` and `w:rFonts w:ascii="Georgia"`. | **Pass** |
+| **Heading Style Reset** | Reconstructing a heading drops `w:pStyle="Heading1"` or bold styling, causing headings to render as body text. | Paragraph preserves `w:pStyle="Heading1"` and insertion retains bold and 16pt size. | **Pass** |
+| **Ghost Markers (List Insertion Rejection)** | Rejecting an inserted list item that tracked only text leaves an untracked paragraph mark, rendering an empty bullet/number in Word. | Paragraph count returns to exact original (1 paragraph); no empty marker remains. | **Pass** |
+| **Ghost Markers (List Item Deletion)** | Deleting a list item without tracking the paragraph mark leaves an empty bullet in Word. | Accepted deletion leaves exactly the remaining paragraphs without empty markers. | **Pass** |
+| **List Numbering & Level Corruption** | Adding a list item to an existing numbered list assigns wrong `w:numId` or `w:ilvl`, breaking sequence in Word. | Inserted item retains original `w:numId` and `w:ilvl`. | **Pass** |
+| **Table Cell Property Destruction** | Editing cell text strips `w:tcPr`, losing cell width, borders, background shading, and vertical alignment. | `w:tcPr` (`tcW`, `tcBorders`, `shd`, `vAlign`) survives document editing intact. | **Pass** |
+
+---
+
+## 2. Microsoft Word Visual Inspection (Sample of 20 Representative Cases)
+
+Word COM rendered all three views (`allMarkup`, `acceptAll`, `rejectAll`) via `ExportAsFixedFormat`. Contact sheets and individual pages were visually inspected:
+
+| Case Identity | Category & Shape | Views Inspected | Visual Result | Notes |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| `synthetic:administrative-header-footer-package` | Administrative / header-footer | Markup, Accept, Reject | **Pass** | Header and footer render cleanly in top/bottom margins; body text revision is completely isolated. |
+| `synthetic:administrative-tab-aligned-status` | Administrative / tab-break | Markup, Accept, Reject | **Pass** | Column alignment at tab stops is preserved across revisions. |
+| `synthetic:administrative-boundary-tabs-preserved` | Administrative / tab-break | Markup, Accept, Reject | **Pass** | Leading tab indentation preserved; trailing tab remains intact. |
+| `synthetic:administrative-comment-anchor-adjacent-replacement` | Administrative / comment | Markup, Accept, Reject | **Pass** | Comment balloon anchors cleanly to "Agency decision"; replacement text localized. |
+| `synthetic:administrative-footnote-adjacent-deadline` | Administrative / note | Markup, Accept, Reject | **Pass** | Superscript footnote reference and note separator render cleanly without displacement. |
+| `synthetic:legal-endnote-adjacent-duration` | Legal / note | Markup, Accept, Reject | **Pass** | Endnote reference renders cleanly; replacement remains adjacent. |
+| `synthetic:legal-locked-field-adjacent-replacement` | Legal / field | Markup, Accept, Reject | **Pass** | Locked PAGE field displays correct cached number; adjacent insertion localized. |
+| `synthetic:legal-external-hyperlink-adjacent-replacement` | Legal / hyperlink | Markup, Accept, Reject | **Pass** | Hyperlink blue/underline preserved; edit does not bleed styling. |

+## 3. Findings & Observations
+
+1. **Page Count Stability**:
+   Across all 40 SuperDoc scenarios and 30 synthetic fixtures, no anomalous page count jumps or runaway pagination occurred. Long documents (e.g. 12-page council minutes and 91-page prospectus) maintained identical page counts across `acceptAll`, `rejectAll`, and `allMarkup`.
+2. **Typography & Font Integrity**:
+   Inserted runs correctly inherited ambient font families (Calibri, Aptos, Georgia, Times New Roman) and font sizes. No unstyled fallback to 12pt Normal was observed.
+3. **List Marker Integrity**:
+   Structural list edits (dash bullets, roman numerals, alphabetical sub-items) retained parent list properties and produced no ghost markers when rejected.
+4. **Table Structure Preservation**:
+   Table reconciliations (single-cell, multi-cell, row insertion, and row deletion) retained table grid alignment, borders, padding, and shading.
