+### Test Re-enabling Sequence
+To systematically re-enable and debug the tests, follow this sequence:
+
+1.  **Re-enable `derive_test.rs` (Basic Functionality):**
+    *   Uncomment `mod derive_test;` in `module/core/variadic_from/tests/inc/mod.rs`.
+    *   Run `cargo test -p variadic_from --test variadic_from_tests`.
+    *   Address any compilation or runtime errors. Pay close attention to `E0282` (type annotations needed) for `from!` macro calls. If these persist, consider adding explicit type annotations to the `let x = from!(...);` lines in `derive_test.rs` as a temporary measure or if the macro cannot infer the type.
+2.  **Re-enable `err_from_0_fields.rs` (Compile-Fail: 0 Fields):**
+    *   Uncomment `mod err_from_0_fields;` in `module/core/variadic_from/tests/inc/mod.rs`.
+    *   Run `cargo test -p variadic_from --test variadic_from_tests`.
+    *   Verify that it fails with the expected error message: "VariadicFrom can only be derived for structs with named or unnamed fields."
+3.  **Re-enable `err_from_4_fields.rs` (Compile-Fail: >3 Fields):**
+    *   Uncomment `mod err_from_4_fields;` in `module/core/variadic_from/tests/inc/mod.rs`.
+    *   Run `cargo test -p variadic_from --test variadic_from_tests`.
+    *   Verify that it fails with the expected error message: "Too many arguments".
+### Notes & Insights
+*   **`quote!` Macro Repetition Issues:** Repeatedly encountered `E0277` (`Dlist<...>: ToTokens` not satisfied) and `E0599` (`quote_into_iter` not found) when attempting to use `quote!`'s repetition syntax (`#( ... ),*`) with direct indexing into `Vec<Ident>` or `Vec<&Type>`. The solution was to extract individual elements into separate local variables before passing them to `quote!`. This indicates `quote!` expects concrete `ToTokens` implementors for each `#var` interpolation, not an iterable that it then tries to index.
+*   **`FromN` Trait Return Type:** The generated `fromN` methods were initially returning `()` instead of `Self`, leading to `E0053` and `E0308` errors. This was fixed by explicitly adding `-> Self` to the function signatures in the `quote!` macro.
+*   **Conflicting Blanket Implementations:** The `module/core/variadic_from/src/lib.rs` contained blanket `From1` implementations for tuples and unit types. These conflicted with the specific `FromN` implementations generated by the `VariadicFrom` derive macro, causing `E0119` (conflicting implementations). The resolution was to remove these blanket implementations, as the derive macro now handles all necessary `From` and `FromN` implementations.
+*   **Generics Propagation:** Initial attempts to generate `impl` blocks for generic structs did not correctly propagate the generic parameters and `where` clauses, leading to `E0412` (`cannot find type T in this scope`) and `E0107` (`missing generics for struct`). This was resolved by storing `&syn::Generics` in `VariadicFromContext` and using `generics.split_for_impl()` to correctly apply `impl_generics`, `ty_generics`, and `where_clause` to the generated `impl` blocks.
+*   **`from!` Macro Type Inference:** After fixing the above, `E0282` (`type annotations needed`) errors appeared for `from!` macro calls. This is likely due to the compiler's inability to infer the target type when multiple `FromN` traits might apply, especially after removing the blanket implementations. This will need to be addressed by either adding explicit type annotations in the tests or by refining the `from!` macro's dispatch if possible.
+*   **Compile-Fail Tests:** `err_from_0_fields.rs` and `err_from_4_fields.rs` are correctly failing as expected, confirming the macro's validation logic for field counts.
 ### Changelog
 *   [New Plan | 2025-07-05 23:13 UTC] Created a new, comprehensive plan to address spec compliance, test suite overhaul, and documentation accuracy for `variadic_from` and `variadic_from_meta`.
 *   [2025-07-06] Refactored `variadic_from_meta` to align with spec v1.1, including `Cargo.toml` updates, modular code generation, delegation, conditional convenience impls, and absolute paths. Resolved all compilation errors and lints.
