//! TRANSPILER-DEFECT-010: Mutable String Variables Should Use String Type
//!
//! **Problem**: String literals assigned to mutable variables generate &str instead of String
//! **Discovered**: 2025-10-31 (Issue #111 - Reaper project 42 errors)
//! **Severity**: CRITICAL (causes 30+ E0308 errors in real-world code)
//!
//! Expected: `let x = "test"; x = x + " more"` should use String type
//! Actual: Generates `let mut x = "test"` (&str) then tries to assign String to it
//!
//! This test follows EXTREME TDD (RED → GREEN → REFACTOR)
