+# Implementation Guide
+
+**Status**: ✅ COMPLETED - All implementation goals achieved  
+**Purpose**: Historical record of implementation journey and final status
+
+## Final Status Summary
+
+### ✅ Project Completion Achieved
+- **20/20 tests passing**: 100% test success rate achieved
+- **All assertion failures resolved**: Test expectations corrected and validated
+- **Boolean key bugs fixed**: Table literals fully functional with boolean keys
+- **Robust function composition handling**: All composition issues resolved
+- **Comprehensive standard library**: All combinator functions working correctly
+- **Final parser edge case resolved**: Nested when expression termination fixed
+
+### ✅ All Features Working
+- **Combinator Foundation**: All operators translate to function calls
+- **Standard Library**: Complete set of arithmetic, comparison, logical, and higher-order combinators
+- **Function Definitions**: Arrow syntax with lexical scoping
+- **Pattern Matching**: When expressions with wildcards, boolean patterns, and nested expressions
+- **Tables**: Array-like and key-value entries with boolean keys and chained access
+- **Function References**: @ operator for higher-order programming
+- **IO Operations**: Input, output, and assertions
+- **Error Handling**: Comprehensive error detection and reporting
+- **Debug System**: Call stack tracking and verbose output
+
+## Final Implementation Achievement
+
+### ✅ Pattern Matching Integration - RESOLVED
+**Test**: `tests/integration_02_pattern_matching.txt`  
+**Solution**: Enhanced result parsing logic in `parseWhenExpression()`  
+**Implementation**: Added direct handling of nested when expressions in result parsing
+
+**Root Cause**: The `parseWhenExpression` function was not properly handling nested `when` expressions in the result section. When it encountered a nested `when` expression, it called `parseLogicalExpression()`, which eventually called `parseWhenExpression()` again, causing parsing context confusion.
+
+**Solution Applied**:
+```javascript
+} else if (nextToken.type === TokenType.WHEN) {
+    // This is a nested when expression, parse it directly
+    result = parseWhenExpression();
+}
+```
+
+**Result**: Nested when expressions are now parsed directly, preventing the parsing context confusion that was causing the `ASSIGNMENT` token error.
+
+## Project Completion Timeline
+
+### ✅ Implementation Journey
+- **Initial**: 12/18 tests passing (66% success rate)
