Run LethAL mutation testing against a Business Central AL project and read the result. Use when asked whether an AL test suite actually catches bugs, to find weak or missing tests, or to check a suite before trusting a coverage number. Publishes a changed build to a BC server, so it needs a sandbox or dev container and is user-invoked.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# LethAL mutation testing

LethAL breaks AL code on purpose, one small change at a time, and runs the test suite against each
break. A change the tests catch is **killed**; one they miss is a **survivor**; one no test executes
is **no-coverage**. It answers what coverage cannot: not "did this line run" but "would anyone
notice if it were wrong".

Full reference: `docs/using-lethal-from-an-agent.md` in the LethAL repository.

## Safety, before anything else

- **Sandbox or dev container only. Never a production tenant.** The changed build stays published
  until the user republishes their own app.
- The user's source tree is never modified; LethAL mutates a copy in a scratch directory.
- `--stop-hung-sessions` lets LethAL end a BC session on the user's server, so it needs their yes.
  Ask for it ONCE, up front, and recommend it on a sandbox: a mutant that turns a loop into an
  infinite one is ordinary on real code (`remove-assignment` on a loop's exit flag did it twice in
  one run), and without the flag each one costs the whole budget, a quarantine, and a full
  redeploy-and-baseline on `--resume`, roughly ten minutes on a hosted sandbox. With it the same

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add sshadows/lethal/lethal-mutation-testing@sha256:b72a73635a65f4f1

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261106.0937045, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
