Remove .freeze from Zeitwerk::Loader assignment that prevented setup
and eager_load from working. Disable Style/MutableConstant cop to
avoid this class of issue. Add rdoc comments to satisfy

Subject: [PATCH 06/25] Implement all integration spec examples

Fill in 82 integration spec bodies across 5 files that were
previously skeletons with skip placeholders. Add ANSI color
matcher from lot project and fix spec helper issues (EXE path
resolution, pack_bundle absolute paths, aggregate_failures).

Subject: [PATCH 08/25] Fix all rubocop offenses across codebase

Refactor bundle.rb parser into small focused methods, extract
regex constants, decompose command methods in unpack/diff/list,
rename ExtractionResult#size to #line_count to avoid Struct
override, extract CommandKit extensions to separate files, split
minitest methods exceeding assertion limits, and fix misc style
offenses in gemspec, spec helpers, and rake tasks.

Subject: [PATCH 09/25] Add new domain entities: Ball, Border, Cursor,
 Destination

New entities created alongside existing Bundle for incremental
migration. Ball is the aggregate root (replaces Bundle), Border
is fixed domain knowledge, Cursor replaces primitive line/index
parsing, Destination handles filesystem writes.

Subject: [PATCH 10/25] Fix code review findings: serialize arity and Cursor
 abstraction

Ball#serialize now passes Border::SEPARATOR to Entry#serialize
to avoid ArgumentError. Cursor extracts previous_line and
peek_line methods to eliminate raw lines[idx] access from
public and private methods.

75 unit specs covering all public interfaces. Fix content
fidelity bug in Cursor: collect content lines during walk

Subject: [PATCH 12/25] Harden Cursor API: make raw_line private, guard
 previous_line

Move raw_line below private keyword since it's only used
internally by read_content_until_end. Add position guard to
previous_line to prevent silent wrap-around on lines[-1].
DRY binary_entry let in ball_spec.

Parse warnings are advisory (partial success), not errors.
Destination now accumulates results internally, yields per-write
via block, and provides summary(malformed:) instead of requiring
callers to collect results manually.

Subject: [PATCH 14/25] Migrate CLI commands from Bundle to Ball + Destination

Pack, unpack, list, and diff commands now use Ball as the
aggregate root and Destination for filesystem writes. Removes
--border, --border-width, --show-border options. Eliminates
Config dependency. Unpack uses pattern matching destructure
for options.

Subject: [PATCH 15/25] Fix code review findings: pattern match crash, LoD,
 booleans

Replace options destructure with direct hash access to prevent
NoMatchingPatternKeyError when --dry-run is absent. Add exit 1
to Diff#read_input on empty input. Normalize Destination#dry_run?
to boolean. Add ExtractionSummary#dry_run? to eliminate LoD
violation in Unpack#print_summary.

Subject: [PATCH 16/25] Fix content with no trailing newline: apply
 Border.strip_suffix

When file content doesn't end with \n, the border is glued to
the last content line. Cursor must strip the border suffix from
collected content, same as the old Bundle parser did.

Subject: [PATCH 17/25] Simplify Entry, delete Bundle/Config, update all tests

Entry#serialize uses Border::SEPARATOR directly (no parameter).
Entry#write_to and Entry#safe_for? removed (Destination owns
filesystem writes). Delete Bundle, Config, MalformedBundleError.
Remove redundant minitest files (covered by rspec unit specs).
Update integration specs for removed --border/--show-border
options.

+Title: Test suite writes to /tmp via Dir.mktmpdir
+Description: Dir.mktmpdir uses Dir.tmpdir to resolve the parent directory. Dir.tmpdir checks in order (per /usr/share/ruby/tmpdir.rb lines 130-135): ENV['TMPDIR'], ENV['TMP'], ENV['TEMP'], Etc.systmpdir, /tmp, then current directory. When none of the env vars are set, it falls back to /tmp. This violates the CLAUDE.md hard rule: NEVER write to /tmp. Affected files: spec/spec_helper.rb (CLIHelper#tmp_dir), spec/codeball/destination_spec.rb, and test/entry_test.rb. All calls have after/teardown cleanup so /tmp is not leaked permanently -- the issue is that writes happen to /tmp at all. Fix: set ENV['TMPDIR'] to a project-local directory in spec_helper.rb and test_helper.rb, or pass an explicit second argument to Dir.mktmpdir.

Subject: [PATCH 21/25] Extract ball_text_for helper to shared spec_helper

Move hand-crafted codeball text builder from unpack_spec to
CLIHelper so diff_spec can reuse it. Use literal border string
since integration specs don't load Codeball in-process.

Subject: [PATCH 23/25] Implement lexer/stream architecture for codeball
 parsing

Cursor is now a pure lexer producing typed tokens (Header, Body,
Footer, EOF). Stream is an Enumerable assembler that pulls tokens
from Cursor, feeds them to Entry via write-once setters, and emits
when Entry reports valid or errored. Entry is a state machine that
enforces its own invariants through Design by Contract. Ball uses
the snowball model -- starts empty, grows via add_entry.

New classes: Header, Body, Footer (SimpleDelegator string wrappers),
Stream (assembler), Cursor::EOF (sentinel). Entry rewritten with
write-once setters and two construction paths (from_file for packing,
token-by-token for parsing). Ball simplified to thin parse factory
with no private class methods.

Renames: parse_warnings -> warnings, each_parse_warning -> each_warning,
parse_warning_count -> warning_count.

Subject: [PATCH 24/25] Fix Cursor: require border context for END marker
 termination

Bare END lines in content no longer terminate body collection.
An END marker is only recognized when preceded by a border line
(border_before_end?) or when it follows a border suffix on the
previous content line (inline_end_marker?). This prevents file
content containing END "path" from being silently truncated.

Fix false-pass in round-trip spec: unpack to separate output
directory so the assertion reads the unpacked file, not the
pre-existing original from create_file.

Subject: [PATCH 25/25] Clean up review findings: dead code, nil guards,
 gemspec terminology

Remove unused found_end(match) from Cursor. Add nil guards to
Entry#line_count and Entry#text? for incomplete entries. Update
gemspec summary and description to use codeball terminology.
