- ✅ All fixes include comprehensive tests
- ✅ PMAT quality maintained (A- grade, <10 complexity)

## Next Actions (REVISED PRIORITIES)

### 🚨 P0 Critical - Chapter 18 DataFrames (20 examples missing)
**Impact**: +20 examples would bring us from 78.9% → 91.3% (exceeds 90% goal!)

**Missing DataFrame Examples**:
1. Advanced DataFrame operations (filtering, sorting, aggregation)
2. DataFrame transformations and mutations
3. Multi-column operations
4. DataFrame I/O beyond basic CSV
5. Statistical functions
6. Data visualization integration

**Effort**: High - Requires substantial DataFrame API implementation
**Priority**: HIGHEST - Single biggest impact on completion percentage

### 🔧 P1 Medium Priority - REPL Commands (1 example)
**Impact**: +1 example (Ch23) → 79.5%

**Missing REPL Features**:
- Interactive inspection UI with fancy borders/navigation

**Effort**: Medium - UI/UX work
**Priority**: Medium - Small percentage gain

### Target Path to 90%
**Current**: 81.4% (131/161)
**Target**: 90% (145/161)
**Gap**: +14 examples needed

**Optimal Path**:
1. Complete Ch18 DataFrames: +20 examples → 93.8% ✅ **EXCEEDS GOAL**

**Balanced Path** (easier to achieve):
1. Fix Ch2, Ch3, Ch10 untested (+7 examples): → 85.7%
2. Ch18 DataFrames (partial, +8 examples): → 90.1% ✅ **ACHIEVES GOAL**

**Alternative Quick Wins**:
- Ch2/Ch3/Ch10 (+7) + Ch23 (+1) = +8 examples → 86.3%
- Then need only +6 more Ch18 examples to hit 90%
