+### 152. Mutation-test a chunk's changed lines in 15 minutes or less, with one command the README documents.
+
+Today each stability review sets Stryker up by hand, and a run takes from 25 minutes to 3 hours. In the week to 2026-10-28, the reviewers' test runs took 17 hours: more than every other test run in the project together. The gate itself is quick: `./ci.sh` takes about 1.8 minutes, and CI about 2.6.
+
+Ways to get there, to measure before choosing:
+
+- Check the Stryker config in, so no review rebuilds it.
+- Mutate only the lines the chunk changes, and run only the tests that cover each mutant (`coverageAnalysis: "perTest"`).
+- Run the property tests with fewer runs under mutation, through `PROPERTY_RUNS`.
+- Run the mutants on Node alone; Deno, Bun and Firefox stay in the gate.
+
+Done when a mutation run of a shipped chunk's changed lines, such as item 122's, finishes in 15 minutes or less under `~/.claude/bin/run-heavy`.
