Subject: [PATCH 04/15] Add IRR function for calculating internal rate of
 return

Implement the IRR (Internal Rate of Return) function following Excel
specification. IRR calculates the internal rate of return for a series
of cash flows represented by the numbers in values.

Features:
- Takes a range of cash flow values and optional guess parameter
- Uses Newton-Raphson method for iterative calculation
- Returns #NUM! if algorithm does not converge or values lack both
  positive and negative values
- Returns result as NUMBER_PERCENT type
- Includes translations for all 17 built-in languages

Subject: [PATCH 07/15] Remove unnecessary guess validation, allow algorithm to
 converge

- Remove upfront guess <= -1 check (was returning #VALUE! incorrectly)
- Algorithm can find valid IRR even with guess < -1 (e.g., IRR=-200%)
- guess = -1 still returns #NUM! (caught by iteration check)
- Refactor positive/negative check to use Array.some() for clarity
- Update tests to reflect correct behavior

Subject: [PATCH 09/15] Add tests to cover uncovered lines in irrCore

- Add test for derivative too small condition (line 869)
  Uses cash flows {-0.5, 2, -1} with guess=0 where dnpv=0 but npv!=0
- Add test for max iterations reached (line 888)
  Uses cash flows {-1, 2, -1.0001} with guess=0.9 causing oscillation

+
+## Project Overview
+
+HyperFormula is a headless spreadsheet engine written in TypeScript. It parses and evaluates Excel-compatible formulas and can run in browser or Node.js environments. The library implements ~400 built-in functions with support for custom functions, undo/redo, CRUD operations, and i18n (17 languages).
+
+## Build & Development Commands
+
+```bash
+npm install                   # Install dependencies
+npm run compile              # TypeScript compilation to lib/

+## Testing
+
+```bash
+npm test                     # Full suite: lint + unit + browser + compatibility
+npm run test:unit            # Jest unit tests only
+npm run test:watch           # Jest watch mode (run tests on file changes)
+npm run test:coverage        # Unit tests with coverage report
+npm run test:browser         # Karma browser tests (Chrome/Firefox)
+npm run test:performance     # Run performance benchmarks
+npm run test:compatibility   # Excel compatibility tests
+```
+
+Test files are located in `test/unit/` and follow the pattern `*.spec.ts`.
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Core Components
+
+- **`src/HyperFormula.ts`** - Main engine class, public API entry point
+- **`src/parser/`** - Formula parsing using Chevrotain parser generator
+- **`src/interpreter/`** - Formula evaluation engine
+- **`src/DependencyGraph/`** - Cell dependency tracking and recalculation order
+- **`src/CrudOperations.ts`** - Create/Read/Update/Delete operations on sheets and cells
+
+### Function Plugins (`src/interpreter/plugin/`)
+
+All spreadsheet functions are implemented as plugins extending `FunctionPlugin`. Each plugin:
+- Declares `implementedFunctions` static property mapping function names to metadata
+- Uses `runFunction()` helper for argument validation, coercion, and array handling
+- Registers function translations in `src/i18n/languages/`
+
+To add a new function:
+1. Create or modify a plugin in `src/interpreter/plugin/`
+2. Add function metadata to `implementedFunctions`
+3. Implement the function method
+4. Add translations to all language files in `src/i18n/languages/`
+5. Add tests in `test/unit/interpreter/`
+
+### i18n (`src/i18n/languages/`)
+
+Function name translations for each supported language. When adding new functions, translations can be found at:
+- https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/excel-functions-translator-f262d0c0-991c-485b-89b6-32cc8d326889
+- http://dolf.trieschnigg.nl/excel/index.php
+
+## Output Formats
+
+The build produces multiple output formats:
+- `commonjs/` - CommonJS modules (main entry)
+- `es/` - ES modules (.mjs files)
+- `dist/` - UMD bundles for browsers
+- `typings/` - TypeScript declaration files
+
+## Contributing Guidelines
+
+- Create feature branches, never commit directly to master
+- Target the `develop` branch for pull requests
+- Add tests for all changes in `test/` folder
+- Run linter before submitting (`npm run lint`)
+- Maintain compatibility with Excel and Google Sheets behavior
+- In documentation, commit messages, pull request descriptions and code comments, do not mention Claude Code nor LLM models used for code generation
+
+## Response Guidelines
+
+- By default speak ultra-concisely, using as few words as you can, unless asked otherwise.
+- Focus solely on instructions and provide relevant responses.
+- Ask questions to remove ambiguity and make sure you're speaking about the right thing.
+- Ask questions if you need more information to provide an accurate answer.
+- If you don't know something, simply say, "I don't know," and ask for help.
+- Present your answer in a structured way, use bullet lists, numbered lists, tables, etc.
+- When asked for specific content, start the response with the requested info immediately.
+- When answering based on context, support your claims by quoting exact fragments of available documents.
+
+## Code Style
+
+- When generating code, prefare functional approach whenever possible (in JS/TS use filter, map and reduce functions).
+- Make the code self-documenting. Use meaningfull names for classes, functions, valiables etc. Add code comments only when necessary.
+- Add jsdocs to all classes and functions.
