Red Bar

Definitions

1. A failing test state, often shown visually in red, especially in TDD workflows where failure is expected before the implementation is written. More broadly it means the build or test suite is currently broken.

   In plain English: The state where tests are failing.

   Example: "We're still at red bar, so no refactor yet."
