The correctness bug was due to combinations of features. I'm curious if you've looked into combinatorial testing which NIST claimed knocks out almost all bugs when 6-way testing was used.

My intro to other categories of test generation was usually this paper:

Maybe see of your team can build combinatorial- or path-based testing in Zig next.

Edit to add 2019, NIST, intro slides on combinatorial testing since it's a better overview:

Thanks!
