frankbria d9960e4683 docs: synchronize implementation documentation with codebase (2025-12-31)

Update all base directory documentation to accurately reflect current codebase state:

- IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md: Correct CI/CD status (operational), update test counts (75 actual),
  clarify week completion status (1-2 + partial 5 complete)
- IMPLEMENTATION_STATUS.md: Add verification dates, detailed test breakdowns, updated remaining
  work estimates, recent improvements section
- STATUS.md: Update from 35 to 75 tests, add integration test details, include lib/ modules
- PHASE1_COMPLETION.md & PHASE2_COMPLETION.md: Add historical milestone notes

Key corrections:
- CI/CD pipeline IS operational (.github/workflows/test.yml)
- install.sh DOES copy lib/ directory (verified lines 78, 91, 148)
- 75 tests accurately reported (15 rate + 20 exit + 20 loop + 20 edge)
- Week 5 partially complete (edge cases done, features not implemented)
- Weeks 3-4 and 6 not started (accurate status vs. optimistic claims)

All documentation now synchronized with codebase as of 2025-12-31.

🚀 Getting Started

To begin implementation:

# 1. Install BATS
npm install -g bats bats-support bats-assert

# 2. Create test structure
mkdir -p tests/{unit,integration,e2e,helpers,fixtures}

# 3. Start with Week 1, Day 1 tasks
# Follow this plan sequentially

# 4. Run tests as you go
bats tests/

# 5. Track progress
# Mark items complete in this file as you finish them

📝 Notes

Each week builds on previous work
Tests should be written before or alongside features
All tests must pass before moving to next phase
CI/CD pipeline must stay green
Update documentation as features are added
Regular code reviews recommended
Track actual time vs estimates for future planning

Last Updated: 2025-12-31 Status: Week 1-2 Complete + Partial Week 5 (edge cases + lib modules). Weeks 3-4, 6 not started. Owner: Development Team Reviewer: To be assigned
