Practical guide
WouldYouMerge: turn a code-review suspicion into a failing test →
A review note that names the failure, shows a reproducible case and explains why the smallest repair works.
Why it matters
A plausible function can hide a state-dependent bug. The guide turns that suspicion into a reproducible failing test and a review note another developer can verify.
For Developers reviewing generated code.

Dated source checks and published explanations. An observation date can differ from the original release date.
WouldYouMerge collects deliberately buggy code for review practice. The accompanying guide adds a complete original exercise, tests and a review record you can run locally. It is useful when a patch looks plausible but its behavior still needs proof. The repository was read; only the guide’s own Python fixture was executed during editorial validation.
