Use when adding or reviewing a gate, guard rule, CI grep, or test assertion in this plugin's own scripts — and whenever a suite is green and you need to know whether that means anything. Runs scripts/mutate.sh, which breaks the code on purpose and reports which assertions failed to notice. Triggers from code-reviewer, verification-engineer, and any change under scripts/ or hooks/.

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

# Mutation testing

`defect-hunting` §3 says a new rule is not done until you have watched it fail, in three steps. That
instruction was followed by hand, when someone remembered. On 2026-07-29 the suite read
**385 passed, 0 failed** while containing a `grep -E` with a PCRE lookahead (a syntax error, stderr
to `/dev/null`, `|| ok` every time), two doctor assertions that a demoted gate could not turn red,
and a hook that stood down in exactly the incident it was written for.

**A green suite is evidence only to the extent its assertions can go red.** `scripts/mutate.sh` is
that, executable.

## Running it

```sh
sh scripts/mutate.sh                # all 16 catalogued mutations (~1 min each — the whole suite runs)
sh scripts/mutate.sh --list         # the catalogue, plus what it cannot test and why
sh scripts/mutate.sh --only M04     # one mutation, while you iterate on an assertion
sh scripts/mutate.sh --sample 4     # what CI runs on every PR
```

Exit `0` all caught · `1` something SURVIVED · `2` could not run (baseline not green, anchor drifted).

Three verdicts matter:

- **CAUGHT (n assertions)** — the gate bites.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add vmobifystudio/app-dev-team/mutation-testing@sha256:77b9915b9654d643

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260729.63f4fc3, 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.
