-# Property-Based Testing Guide
-
-## Overview
-
-Property-based testing (PBT) generates random inputs to verify that certain properties always hold true. Instead of testing specific examples, you define invariants that must be satisfied for any valid input. This approach finds edge cases you might never think to test manually.
-
-## When to Use Property-Based Testing
-
-- Data transformations (serialization, parsing)
-- Mathematical operations (sorting, filtering)
-- State machine transitions
-- Invariants that must always hold
-- Finding edge cases in complex logic
-- Testing with large input spaces
-
-## Setup with Glados
-
-### Installation
-
-```yaml
-dev_dependencies:
-  glados: ^0.3.0
-```
-
-### Basic Usage
-
-```dart
-import 'package:glados/glados.dart';
-import 'package:flutter_test/flutter_test.dart';
-
-void main() {
-  // Single input
-  Glados(any.int).test('absolute value is non-negative', (value) {
-    expect(value.abs(), greaterThanOrEqualTo(0));
-  });
-
-  // Two inputs
-  Glados2(any.int, any.int).test('addition is commutative', (a, b) {
-    expect(a + b, equals(b + a));
-  });
-
-  // Three inputs
-  Glados3(any.int, any.int, any.int).test(
-    'addition is associative',
-    (a, b, c) {
-      expect((a + b) + c, equals(a + (b + c)));
-    },
-  );
-}
-```
-
-## Built-in Generators
-
-### Primitive Types
-
-```dart
-any.int                    // Any integer
-any.positiveInt            // Positive integers (> 0)
-any.nonNegativeInt         // Non-negative integers (>= 0)
-any.intInRange(0, 100)     // Integer in range [0, 100]
-
-any.double                 // Any double
-any.positiveDouble         // Positive doubles
-
-any.bool                   // true or false
-
-any.letter                 // Single letter (a-z, A-Z)
-any.letterOrDigit          // Letter or digit
-any.letterOrDigits         // String of letters/digits
-```
-
-### Collections
-
-```dart
-any.list(any.int)                      // List<int>
-any.listWithLength(5, any.int)         // List<int> with exactly 5 items
-any.listWithLengthInRange(1, 10, any.int)  // List<int> with 1-10 items
-
-any.set(any.int)                       // Set<int>
-any.map(any.string, any.int)           // Map<String, int>
-```
-
-### Choosing from Values
-
-```dart
-// Choose from enum values
-any.choose(Status.values)
-
-// Choose from specific values
-any.choose(['red', 'green', 'blue'])
-```
-
-## Custom Generators
-
-### Simple Custom Generator
-
-```dart
-extension AnyUser on Any {
-  Generator<User> get user => combine2(
-    any.letterOrDigits,
-    any.positiveInt,
-    (name, age) => User(name: name.isEmpty ? 'default' : name, age: age),
-  );
-}
-
-// Usage
-Glados(any.user).test('user has valid name', (user) {
-  expect(user.name.isNotEmpty, isTrue);
-});
-```
-
-### Complex Custom Generator
-
-```dart
-extension AnyOvertime on Any {
-  /// Generator for non-empty strings
-  Generator<String> get nonEmptyString =>
-      any.letterOrDigits.map((s) => s.isEmpty ? 'a' : s);
-
-  /// Generator for OvertimeStatus enum
-  Generator<OvertimeStatus> get overtimeStatus =>
-      choose(OvertimeStatus.values);
-
-  /// Generator for DateTime within a reasonable range
-  Generator<DateTime> get overtimeDate => combine3(
-    intInRange(2020, 2030), // year
-    intInRange(1, 12),      // month
-    intInRange(1, 28),      // day (safe for all months)
-    (year, month, day) => DateTime(year, month, day),
-  );
-
-  /// Generator for Overtime entity
-  Generator<Overtime> get overtime => combine5(
-    nonEmptyString,         // id
-    nonEmptyString,         // userId
-    overtimeDate,           // startDate
-    overtimeStatus,         // status
-    intInRange(30, 480),    // duration in minutes
-    (id, userId, startDate, status, duration) => Overtime(
-      id: id,
-      userId: userId,
-      organizationId: 'org1',
-      startDate: startDate,
-      endDate: startDate.add(Duration(minutes: duration)),
-      duration: duration,
-      status: status,
-      createdAt: DateTime.now(),
-      updatedAt: DateTime.now(),
-    ),
-  );
-
-  /// Generator for list of Overtime entities
-  Generator<List<Overtime>> get overtimeList =>
-      any.listWithLengthInRange(0, 20, overtime);
-}
-```
-
-### Generator Combinators
-
-```dart
-// Map: Transform generated values
-Generator<String> get uppercaseName =>
-    any.letterOrDigits.map((s) => s.toUpperCase());
-
-// FlatMap: Chain generators
-Generator<User> get userWithEmail => any.user.flatMap((user) =>
-    any.letterOrDigits.map((domain) =>
-        user.copyWith(email: '${user.name}@$domain.com')));
-
-// Where: Filter generated values
-Generator<int> get evenNumber =>
-    any.int.where((n) => n % 2 == 0);
-
-// Combine: Combine multiple generators
-Generator<Point> get point => combine2(
-    any.double,
-    any.double,
-    (x, y) => Point(x, y));
-```
-
-## Property Patterns
-
-### Roundtrip Property
-
-```dart
-// Encoding then decoding should return original value
-Glados(any.user).test('JSON roundtrip preserves data', (user) {
-  final json = user.toJson();
-  final decoded = User.fromJson(json);
-  expect(decoded, equals(user));
-});
-```
-
-### Idempotence Property
-
-```dart
-// Applying operation twice should equal applying once
-Glados(any.list(any.int)).test('sorting is idempotent', (list) {
-  final sortedOnce = [...list]..sort();
-  final sortedTwice = [...sortedOnce]..sort();
-  expect(sortedTwice, equals(sortedOnce));
-});
-```
-
-### Invariant Property
-
-```dart
-// Property that must always hold
-Glados(any.list(any.int)).test('sorted list is ordered', (list) {
-  final sorted = [...list]..sort();
-  for (var i = 0; i < sorted.length - 1; i++) {
-    expect(sorted[i], lessThanOrEqualTo(sorted[i + 1]));
-  }
-});
-```
-
-### Inverse Property
-
-```dart
-// Operation and its inverse cancel out
-Glados(any.int).test('negate is self-inverse', (n) {
-  expect(-(-n), equals(n));
-});
-```
-
-### Partition Property
-
-```dart
-// Filtering by each status partitions the list
-Glados(any.overtimeList).test('status filter partitions list', (items) {
-  var totalFiltered = 0;
-  for (final status in OvertimeStatus.values) {
-    totalFiltered += items.where((i) => i.status == status).length;
-  }
-  expect(totalFiltered, equals(items.length));
-});
-```
-
-### Commutativity Property
-
-```dart
-Glados2(any.int, any.int).test('addition is commutative', (a, b) {
-  expect(a + b, equals(b + a));
-});
-```
-
-### Associativity Property
-
-```dart
-Glados3(any.int, any.int, any.int).test('addition is associative', (a, b, c) {
-  expect((a + b) + c, equals(a + (b + c)));
-});
-```
-
-## Real-World Examples
-
-### Testing Filtering Logic
-
-```dart
-void main() {
-  group('Date-Based Filtering', () {
-    Glados2(
-      any.overtimeList,
-      any.overtimeDate,
-    ).test('filtering by date returns only matching records', (items, date) {
-      final filtered = items.where((item) =>
-          _isSameDay(item.startDate, date)).toList();
-
-      for (final item in filtered) {
-        expect(
-          _isSameDay(item.startDate, date),
-          isTrue,
-          reason: 'Filtered item should match selected date',
-        );
-      }
-    });
-
-    Glados2(
-      any.overtimeList,
-      any.overtimeDate,
-    ).test('filtering preserves all matching records', (items, date) {
-      final filtered = items.where((item) =>
-          _isSameDay(item.startDate, date)).toList();
-      final expectedCount = items.where((item) =>
-          _isSameDay(item.startDate, date)).length;
-
-      expect(filtered.length, equals(expectedCount));
-    });
-  });
-}
-
-bool _isSameDay(DateTime date1, DateTime date2) {
-  return date1.year == date2.year &&
-      date1.month == date2.month &&
-      date1.day == date2.day;
-}
-```
-
-### Testing CRUD Operations
-
-```dart
-void main() {
-  group('Create Operation', () {
-    Glados2(
-      any.overtimeList,
-      any.overtime,
-    ).test('create adds item to list', (originalList, newItem) {
-      final updatedList = [...originalList, newItem];
-
-      expect(updatedList.length, equals(originalList.length + 1));
-      expect(updatedList.any((item) => item.id == newItem.id), isTrue);
-    });
-  });
-
-  group('Delete Operation', () {
-    Glados(any.overtimeList).test('delete removes item from list', (list) {
-      if (list.isEmpty) return;
-
-      final itemToDelete = list.first;
-      final updatedList = list.where((i) => i.id != itemToDelete.id).toList();
-
-      expect(updatedList.any((i) => i.id == itemToDelete.id), isFalse);
-    });
-
-    Glados(any.overtimeList).test('delete preserves other items', (list) {
-      if (list.isEmpty) return;
-
-      final itemToDelete = list.first;
-      final updatedList = list.where((i) => i.id != itemToDelete.id).toList();
-
-      for (final item in list) {
-        if (item.id != itemToDelete.id) {
-          expect(updatedList.any((i) => i.id == item.id), isTrue);
-        }
-      }
-    });
-  });
-}
-```
-
-### Testing Validators
-
-```dart
-extension AnyEmail on Any {
-  Generator<String> get validEmail => combine2(
-    any.letterOrDigits.where((s) => s.isNotEmpty),
-    any.choose(['gmail.com', 'yahoo.com', 'test.org']),
-    (local, domain) => '$local@$domain',
-  );
-
-  Generator<String> get invalidEmail => any.choose([
-    '',
-    'noatsign',
-    '@nodomain',
-    'spaces in@email.com',
-  ]);
-}
-
-void main() {
-  Glados(any.validEmail).test('accepts valid emails', (email) {
-    expect(Validators.email(email), isNull);
-  });
-
-  Glados(any.invalidEmail).test('rejects invalid emails', (email) {
-    expect(Validators.email(email), isNotNull);
-  });
-}
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### DO ✅
-
-- Focus on properties, not specific values
-- Use meaningful property names
-- Create reusable generators for domain types
-- Test edge cases explicitly alongside PBT
-- Use `where` to constrain inputs when needed
-- Document what property is being tested
-
-### DON'T ❌
-
-- Don't test implementation details
-- Don't use PBT for simple equality checks
-- Don't ignore shrinking (it helps find minimal failing cases)
-- Don't make generators too complex
-
-## Debugging Failed Tests
-
-When a property test fails, Glados will shrink the input to find the minimal failing case:
-
-```
-Falsified after 42 tests. Shrunk 5 times.
-Counter-example: [1, 0, -1]
-```
-
-Use this minimal example to understand and fix the bug.
-
-## Running Property Tests
-
-```bash
-# Run all tests (including property tests)
-flutter test
-
-# Run with more iterations
-# (Configure in test file or use environment variable)
-flutter test --dart-define=GLADOS_ITERATIONS=1000
-```
