name: Mutation testing

# Mutation testing (gremlins) is the objective check for "fake" tests: it mutates the
# source and a surviving (LIVED) mutant means no test caught the change. It is SLOW, so it
# runs nightly / on demand and scoped per package — never per-commit. It is informational:
# no thresholds are set, so it reports survivors as artifacts without failing the build.
