-
-## Phase 1: RED - Write Failing Test
-
-### Goal
-Create one minimal test that describes desired behavior.
-
-### Steps
-
-**1. Identify Single Behavior**
-```
-Ask: What is ONE thing this code should do?
-Not: "Handle user authentication and authorization and validation"
-But: "Validate email format"
-```
-
-**2. Write Clear Test Name**
-```typescript
-// Good: Describes behavior
-test('rejects email without @ symbol', () => {})
-test('accepts valid email format', () => {})
-test('trims whitespace from email', () => {})
-
-// Bad: Vague or implementation-focused
-test('test1', () => {})
-test('email validation works', () => {})
-test('uses regex pattern', () => {})
-```
-
-**3. Write Test Body**
-
-**Structure:**
-```typescript
-test('behavior description', () => {
-  // Arrange: Set up test data
-  const input = 'test data';
-
-  // Act: Call the function
-  const result = functionUnderTest(input);
-
-  // Assert: Verify behavior
-  expect(result).toBe(expected);
-});
-```
-
-**Good Example:**
-```typescript
-test('retries failed operations 3 times', async () => {
-  let attempts = 0;
-  const operation = () => {
-    attempts++;
-    if (attempts < 3) throw new Error('fail');
-    return 'success';
-  };
-
-  const result = await retryOperation(operation);
-
-  expect(result).toBe('success');
-  expect(attempts).toBe(3);
-});
-```
-
-**Bad Example:**
-```typescript
-test('retry works', async () => {
-  const mock = jest.fn()
-    .mockRejectedValueOnce(new Error())
-    .mockRejectedValueOnce(new Error())
-    .mockResolvedValueOnce('success');
-  await retryOperation(mock);
-  expect(mock).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(3);
-});
-// Problem: Tests mock behavior, not real code
-```
-
-### Test Quality Checklist
-
-- [ ] Tests ONE behavior
-- [ ] Name clearly describes what should happen
-- [ ] Uses real code (mocks only if unavoidable)
-- [ ] Arrange/Act/Assert structure clear
-- [ ] Easy to understand what's being tested
-
-## Phase 2: VERIFY RED - Watch It Fail
-
-### Goal
-Confirm test fails for the RIGHT reason.
-
-### Steps
-
-**1. Run Test**
-```bash
-# Run specific test file
-npm test path/to/test.test.ts
-
-# Or run single test
-npm test -- -t "behavior description"
-```
-
-**2. Verify Failure Type**
-
-**✓ Good Failure (Feature Missing):**
-```
-FAIL: retries failed operations 3 times
-ReferenceError: retryOperation is not defined
-
-Expected: 'success'
-Received: undefined
-```
-
-**✗ Bad Failure (Test Error):**
-```
-FAIL: retries failed operations 3 times
-SyntaxError: Unexpected token
-TypeError: Cannot read property 'x' of undefined
-```
-
-**✗ Bad Outcome (Test Passes):**
-```
-PASS: retries failed operations 3 times
-```
-→ You're testing existing behavior, not new feature
-
-### What to Check
-
-| Outcome | Meaning | Action |
-|---------|---------|--------|
-| Test fails with "not defined" | ✓ Good - feature missing | Proceed to GREEN |
-| Test fails with "Expected X, got Y" | ✓ Good - behavior wrong | Proceed to GREEN |
-| Test errors (syntax, type) | ✗ Fix test | Fix error, rerun VERIFY RED |
-| Test passes | ✗ Testing existing behavior | Rewrite test for NEW behavior |
-
-### Common Issues
-
-**Issue: Test Passes Immediately**
-
-```typescript
-// Problem: Testing existing code
-test('processes array', () => {
-  const result = processArray([1, 2, 3]);
-  expect(result).toBeDefined();  // Already works!
-});
-
-// Fix: Test NEW behavior
-test('processes empty array', () => {
-  const result = processArray([]);
-  expect(result).toEqual([]);  // Currently fails
-});
-```
-
-**Issue: Test Errors Instead of Failing**
-
-```typescript
-// Problem: Typo in test
-test('validates email', () => {
-  const result = validateEmial('test@example.com');  // Typo
-  expect(result).toBe(true);
-});
-
-// Fix: Correct typo, rerun
-test('validates email', () => {
-  const result = validateEmail('test@example.com');
-  expect(result).toBe(true);
-});
-```
-
-## Phase 3: GREEN - Minimal Implementation
-
-### Goal
-Write simplest code to make test pass.
-
-### Steps
-
-**1. Write Minimal Code**
-
-**Good (Minimal):**
-```typescript
-async function retryOperation<T>(fn: () => Promise<T>): Promise<T> {
-  for (let i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
-    try {
-      return await fn();
-    } catch (e) {
-      if (i === 2) throw e;
-    }
-  }
-  throw new Error('unreachable');
-}
-```
-
-**Bad (Over-engineered):**
-```typescript
-async function retryOperation<T>(
-  fn: () => Promise<T>,
-  options?: {
-    maxRetries?: number;
-    backoff?: 'linear' | 'exponential';
-    onRetry?: (attempt: number) => void;
-    timeout?: number;
-  }
-): Promise<T> {
-  // YAGNI - You Aren't Gonna Need It
-}
-```
-
-**2. Resist Temptations**
-
-**DON'T:**
-- Add features not tested
-- Refactor other code
-- "Improve" beyond test requirements
-- Add configuration options "for flexibility"
-- Handle edge cases not in test
-
-**DO:**
-- Write exactly enough to pass test
-- Keep it simple
-- Save improvements for REFACTOR phase
-- Trust that next test will drive next feature
-
-### Implementation Patterns
-
-**Pattern: Hardcode First**
-
-```typescript
-// Test: User can login with valid credentials
-test('logs in with valid credentials', async () => {
-  const result = await login('user@example.com', 'password123');
-  expect(result.success).toBe(true);
-});
-
-// First implementation: Hardcode it
-function login(email: string, password: string) {
-  return { success: true };  // Simplest thing that passes
-}
-
-// Next test will force real implementation
-test('rejects invalid credentials', async () => {
-  const result = await login('user@example.com', 'wrongpass');
-  expect(result.success).toBe(false);
-});
-
-// Now implement for real
-function login(email: string, password: string) {
-  const valid = checkCredentials(email, password);
-  return { success: valid };
-}
-```
-
-**Pattern: Fake It Then Make It**
-
-```typescript
-// Iteration 1: Fake it
-function calculateTotal(items: Item[]) {
-  return 100;  // Hardcoded to pass first test
-}
-
-// Iteration 2: Make it real
-function calculateTotal(items: Item[]) {
-  return items.reduce((sum, item) => sum + item.price, 0);
-}
-```
-
-## Phase 4: VERIFY GREEN - Watch It Pass
-
-### Goal
-Confirm test passes and nothing broke.
-
-### Steps
-
-**1. Run Test**
-```bash
-npm test path/to/test.test.ts
-```
-
-**2. Verify Success**
-
-**✓ Good:**
-```
-PASS: retries failed operations 3 times
-```
-
-**✗ Bad (Still Failing):**
-```
-FAIL: retries failed operations 3 times
-```
-→ Fix implementation, don't change test
-
-**✗ Bad (New Test Passes, Old Tests Fail):**
-```
-PASS: retries failed operations 3 times
-FAIL: handles immediate success
-```
-→ Fix regression immediately
-
-**3. Run Full Test Suite**
-```bash
-# Run ALL tests
-npm test
-
-# Verify output
-All tests passed? → Proceed to REFACTOR
-Some tests failed? → Fix regressions before continuing
-```
-
-### What to Check
-
-- [ ] New test passes
-- [ ] All existing tests pass
-- [ ] No warnings in output
-- [ ] No console errors
-- [ ] Build succeeds
-
-### Common Issues
-
-**Issue: Test Still Fails**
-
-```typescript
-// Test expects 3 retries
-expect(attempts).toBe(3);
-
-// But implementation only does 2
-for (let i = 0; i < 2; i++) {
-  // Fix: Change to 3
-}
-```
-
-**Issue: Other Tests Break**
-
-```typescript
-// New code breaks existing functionality
-function processArray(arr: number[]) {
-  return arr.map(x => x * 2);  // Breaks test expecting sum
-}
-
-// Fix implementation to satisfy both tests
-function processArray(arr: number[], operation: 'sum' | 'double') {
-  if (operation === 'sum') return arr.reduce((a, b) => a + b);
-  return arr.map(x => x * 2);
-}
-```
-
-## Phase 5: REFACTOR - Improve Code
-
-### Goal
-Clean up code while keeping tests green.
-
-### When to Refactor
-
-**Do refactor when:**
-- Code is duplicated
-- Names are unclear
-- Logic is complex
-- Structure is messy
-
-**Don't refactor when:**
-- Tests are red
-- Adding new behavior
-- Time pressure (do it next cycle)
-
-### Refactoring Steps
-
-**1. Identify Improvements**
-
-```typescript
-// Before: Duplication
-function validateEmail(email: string) {
-  if (!email.includes('@')) return false;
-  if (email.indexOf('@') !== email.lastIndexOf('@')) return false;
-  return true;
-}
-
-function validateUsername(username: string) {
-  if (username.length < 3) return false;
-  if (username.length > 20) return false;
-  return true;
-}
-
-// After: Extract common pattern
-function validateLength(str: string, min: number, max: number) {
-  return str.length >= min && str.length <= max;
-}
-
-function validateEmail(email: string) {
-  return email.includes('@') &&
-         email.indexOf('@') === email.lastIndexOf('@');
-}
-
-function validateUsername(username: string) {
-  return validateLength(username, 3, 20);
-}
-```
-
-**2. Refactor Incrementally**
-
-```
-Make ONE change → Run tests → Green? → Next change
-```
-
-**DON'T:** Make multiple changes then run tests
-**DO:** Change → Test → Change → Test
-
-**3. Keep Tests Green**
-
-If tests turn red during refactoring:
-- STOP
-- Revert change
-- Try smaller change
-- Keep tests green at all times
-
-### Common Refactorings
-
-**Extract Method:**
-```typescript
-// Before
-function processUser(user: User) {
-  const valid = user.email.includes('@') &&
-                user.age >= 18 &&
-                user.name.length > 0;
-  if (!valid) throw new Error('Invalid');
-  // ...
-}
-
-// After
-function validateUser(user: User): boolean {
-  return user.email.includes('@') &&
-         user.age >= 18 &&
-         user.name.length > 0;
-}
-
-function processUser(user: User) {
-  if (!validateUser(user)) throw new Error('Invalid');
-  // ...
-}
-```
-
-**Rename for Clarity:**
-```typescript
-// Before
-function proc(d: any) {
-  const x = d.a * d.b;
-  return x;
-}
-
-// After
-function calculateArea(dimensions: Dimensions) {
-  const area = dimensions.width * dimensions.height;
-  return area;
-}
-```
-
-## Phase 6: REPEAT - Next Test
-
-### Goal
-Continue cycle for next behavior.
-
-### Steps
-
-**1. Identify Next Behavior**
-
-```
-Current: Validates email format
-Next: Validates password strength
-Future: Checks username availability
-```
-
-**2. Start New Cycle**
-
-Return to Phase 1 (RED) with new test:
-
-```typescript
-test('rejects weak passwords', () => {
-  const result = validatePassword('123');
-  expect(result.valid).toBe(false);
-  expect(result.error).toBe('Password too short');
-});
-```
-
-**3. Small Increments**
-
-Each test should be small step:
-- ✓ Add email validation
-- ✓ Add password validation
-- ✓ Add username validation
-
-Not:
-- ✗ Add complete user registration system
-
-## Complete Example: Building Retry Function
-
-### Iteration 1: Basic Retry
-
-**RED:**
-```typescript
-test('retries failed operation once', async () => {
-  let attempts = 0;
-  const operation = () => {
-    attempts++;
-    if (attempts < 2) throw new Error('fail');
-    return 'success';
-  };
-
-  const result = await retryOperation(operation);
-  expect(attempts).toBe(2);
-});
-```
-
-**GREEN:**
-```typescript
-async function retryOperation<T>(fn: () => Promise<T>): Promise<T> {
-  try {
-    return await fn();
-  } catch (e) {
-    return await fn();  // Retry once
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### Iteration 2: Multiple Retries
-
-**RED:**
-```typescript
-test('retries failed operation 3 times', async () => {
-  let attempts = 0;
-  const operation = () => {
-    attempts++;
-    if (attempts < 3) throw new Error('fail');
-    return 'success';
-  };
-
-  const result = await retryOperation(operation);
-  expect(attempts).toBe(3);
-});
-```
-
-**GREEN:**
-```typescript
-async function retryOperation<T>(fn: () => Promise<T>): Promise<T> {
-  for (let i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
-    try {
-      return await fn();
-    } catch (e) {
-      if (i === 2) throw e;
-    }
-  }
-  throw new Error('unreachable');
-}
-```
-
-### Iteration 3: Handle Final Failure
-
-**RED:**
-```typescript
-test('throws error after all retries exhausted', async () => {
-  const operation = () => {
-    throw new Error('persistent failure');
-  };
-
-  await expect(retryOperation(operation)).rejects.toThrow('persistent failure');
-});
-```
-
-**GREEN:**
-```typescript
-// Already passes! Implementation handles this.
-```
-
-**REFACTOR:**
-```typescript
-async function retryOperation<T>(
-  fn: () => Promise<T>,
-  maxRetries: number = 3
-): Promise<T> {
-  let lastError: Error;
-
-  for (let attempt = 0; attempt < maxRetries; attempt++) {
-    try {
-      return await fn();
-    } catch (error) {
-      lastError = error as Error;
-    }
-  }
-
-  throw lastError!;
-}
-```
-
-## Summary
-
-**The Cycle:**
-1. RED: Write failing test
-2. VERIFY RED: Watch it fail correctly
-3. GREEN: Minimal implementation
-4. VERIFY GREEN: Watch it pass
-5. REFACTOR: Improve code
-6. REPEAT: Next behavior
-
-**Key Points:**
-- Each phase is mandatory
-- Watch tests run (don't skip verification)
-- Keep implementations minimal
-- Refactor only when green
-- Small increments, one behavior at a time
