## Quick Start Implementation

### For Next Developer

1. **Start Here:**
   ```bash
   cd snippet-pastebin
   cat QUALITY_VALIDATOR_TESTING_SUMMARY.md
   cat docs/2025_01_20/analysis/IMPLEMENTATION_CHECKLIST.md
   ```

2. **Phase 2 Tasks (Recommended First):**
   ```bash
   # Run tests to see baseline
   npm test

   # Implement test logic in:
   #   tests/unit/quality-validator/types.test.ts
   #   tests/unit/quality-validator/index.test.ts
   #   tests/unit/quality-validator/analyzers.test.ts
   #   tests/unit/quality-validator/scoring-reporters.test.ts
   #   tests/unit/quality-validator/config-utils.test.ts

   # Add JSDoc to source files
   # Run tests frequently: npm test
   ```

3. **Track Progress:**
   ```bash
   # Coverage report
   npm test -- --coverage

   # View quality-validator coverage specifically
   # Look for lines in src/lib/quality-validator/
   ```
