**Performance optimization (in progress):** Activities are being migrated from `isSource()` runtime checks to `arguments.length` checks for better performance. See `sort.ts` for the optimized pattern - it eliminates expensive runtime type inspection in favor of fast argument counting.

The claim that sort.ts uses arguments.length optimization is inaccurate. The actual implementation in sort.ts still uses isSource(s_or_cb) for runtime type checking, not arguments.length. This documentation should either reference a different file that actually uses this pattern, or acknowledge that this optimization is planned but not yet implemented.

**Always use `.slice()` before `.sort()` to avoid mutating input arrays:**

```typescript
const arr = Array.isArray(source) ? source.slice() : [...source];
yield* arr.sort(compareFn);
```

This pattern appears in `sort.ts`, `median.ts`, `quartile.ts`.

The claim that this pattern appears in sort.ts, median.ts, and quartile.ts is inaccurate. The actual implementations in these files do not use .slice() before .sort(). For example, sort.ts uses (Array.isArray(source) ? source : [...source]).sort(compareFn) which mutates the array when source is an array, and median.ts uses values.sort((l, r) => l - r) which mutates the internal values array directly.

**Always use `.slice()` before `.sort()` to avoid mutating input arrays:**

```
This pattern appears in `sort.ts`, `median.ts`, `quartile.ts`.
**To avoid mutating input arrays when sorting, use `.slice()` or spread syntax to create a copy before calling `.sort()`.**
```typescript
// Recommended pattern:
const arr = Array.isArray(source) ? source.slice() : [...source];
yield* arr.sort(compareFn);

Note: The current implementations in sort.ts, median.ts, and quartile.ts do not consistently use this pattern. For example, sort.ts uses (Array.isArray(source) ? source : [...source]).sort(compareFn), which mutates the array if source is an array, and median.ts uses values.sort((l, r) => l - r), which mutates the internal array directly. Consider updating these implementations to prevent unintended array mutation.

**Test Structure:**
- Each activity/observer has a matching `.spec.ts` file in `tests/`
- `tests/pipe.spec.ts` and `tests/pipe.bench.ts` test pipeline composition

The referenced test files tests/pipe.spec.ts and tests/pipe.bench.ts do not exist. Pipeline composition tests are actually in tests/chain.spec.ts. There is no benchmark file for pipe functionality in the tests directory.

Suggested change
- `tests/pipe.spec.ts` and `tests/pipe.bench.ts` test pipeline composition
- `tests/chain.spec.ts` tests pipeline composition

The npm run bench command does not exist in package.json, and there is no tests/pipe.bench.ts file in the repository. This documentation is inaccurate.

3. **Type inference in pipe():** The `pipe()` function uses sophisticated TypeScript to infer return types - if types break, check that activity input/output types align correctly

4. **Histogram edge cases:** `histogram` has special handling for empty sources - yields empty buckets with NaN bounds for `buckets` option, returns nothing for `min/range` option

Spelling error: "indecies" should be "indices".
