Patch review example: why does an empty array slip through?

Editorial example, not measured model output. Review boundary contracts and regression tests; this is not a model ranking.

export function mean(values: number[]) {
  return values.reduce((a, b) => a + b, 0)
    / values.length;
}

// mean([]) => NaN
// Missing an explicit empty-input contract
