Contributions summary:Bernard primarily focused on refactoring and improving the `mutations/command` component within the repository. They introduced features like `has_errors?` and simplified the `add_error` function. Furthermore, the user encapsulated outcome creation logic, cleaned up instance interfaces, and adjusted class/instance method conventions, resulting in a cleaner API. They also removed code duplication within the DSL implementation.
