Add Muter mutation testing harness and PR GitHub Action by Copilot · Pull Request #128 · craigjbass/clearancekit

Copilot · 2026-04-07T10:33:30Z

Adds mutation testing via Muter to surface gaps in the test suite, plus a GitHub Actions workflow to run it automatically on every PR.

`muter.conf.yml`

Targets the existing clearancekitTests scheme on platform=macOS
Mutates both Shared/ (domain logic) and opfilter/ (adapter layer) — excludes only clearancekit/ (GUI app) and Tests/

`.github/workflows/pr-mutation.yml`

Triggers on PRs to main; same macos-26 runner and pinned actions/checkout SHA as the existing pr-test.yml
Installs Muter via muter-mutation-testing/formulae/muter Homebrew tap
Runs muter run --output-json muter-report.json and uploads the report as a workflow artifact with if: always() so results are preserved regardless of surviving mutants

@copilot Restricts mutations to Shared/ by excluding clearancekit/, opfilter/, and Tests/ — keeps focus on the pure domain logic where coverage requirements are highest

this is faulty logic, I care more about opfilter

Fixed in 927d893. opfilter/ is now included in the mutation scope — only clearancekit/ (the GUI app) and Tests/ are excluded.

Fixed in 5ce14c0. --output-json isn't a valid Muter flag — replaced with --format json (the correct option) and updated the artifact path to muterReport.json (Muter's default output filename).

Fixed in 0958cf4. The buildSystem block was an invented schema — Muter's actual config uses executable, arguments, and exclude. Also removed the explicit Tests exclusion since Muter already skips paths containing /Tests/ by default.

Fixed in 99548c8. The segfault occurs during Muter's coverage-analysis step (where it runs xcodebuild with coverage to filter out untested files) — a known crash in v16. Added --skip-coverage to bypass that step; Muter will now mutate all non-excluded files directly.
