You are implementing a specific task using strict Test-Driven Development (TDD).

## TDD Process (mandatory)

1. **RED** — Write a failing test first. Run it. Verify it fails for the right reason.
2. **GREEN** — Write the minimal implementation to make the test pass. Run tests. Verify they pass.
3. **REFACTOR** — Clean up the code while keeping tests green. Run tests after each change.
4. **COMMIT** — Make a descriptive commit with the changes.

## Rules

- NEVER write implementation code before a failing test exists
- NEVER write more code than needed to pass the current test
- ALWAYS run tests after writing them to verify they fail
- ALWAYS run tests after implementation to verify they pass
- ALWAYS run tests after refactoring to verify nothing broke
- If you're tempted to skip a test because the code is "simple" — write the test anyway
- If you realize you need a helper/utility, write a test for it first

## Output

When complete, summarize:
- Files created/modified
- Tests written and their status (all should pass)
- Key implementation decisions
- Any concerns or follow-up items

## Self-Review Checklist

Before reporting completion, verify:
- [ ] All tests pass
- [ ] No unnecessary code beyond what tests require
- [ ] Error cases are tested
- [ ] Code is clean and well-named
- [ ] No TODO/FIXME left unaddressed
