+
+## PR 1863 Changes Summary
+
+### Modified File
+`Parse/Parse/Source/PFDecoder.m` (lines 50-71)
+
+### Change Description
+Adds logic to inject `__type = @"Object"` when:
+- `__type` is missing
+- `className` and `objectId` are present
+- Dictionary has additional fields beyond pointer keys
+
+This ensures bare pointer stubs (with only className/objectId) still return as dictionaries (legacy path), while objects with actual data are properly decoded as PFObject instances.
+
+### Test Coverage
+The change affects:
+- **DecoderTests.m** - Main decoder functionality tests
+- **ObjectFileCoderTests.m** - Object encoding/decoding tests
+- **FieldOperationDecoderTests.m** - Field operation tests
+
+## Next Steps
+
+### For Repository Maintainer/Developer
+
+1. **Run on macOS**:
+   ```bash
+   cd /path/to/Parse-SDK-iOS-OSX
+   ./run_tests.sh
+   ```
+
+2. **Or use Rake directly**:
+   ```bash
+   bundle install
+   bundle exec rake test:ios
+   bundle exec rake test:macos
+   ```
+
+3. **Or check GitHub Actions CI**:
+   - Navigate to: https://github.com/ashish-naik/Parse-SDK-iOS-OSX/actions
+   - Check the CI pipeline for this PR
+   - Review test results across all platforms
+
+### Recommended Test Cases to Add
+
+Consider adding these test cases to `Parse/Tests/Unit/DecoderTests.m`:
+- `testDecodingBarePointerStub` - Verify bare pointers remain as dictionaries
+- `testDecodingObjectWithAdditionalFieldsNoType` - Verify objects with extra fields get __type injected
+- `testDecodingObjectWithLocalIdAndAdditionalFields` - Test localId handling
+- `testDecodingBarePointerWithLocalId` - Verify localId doesn't trigger object creation
+
+See **UNIT_TEST_GUIDE.md** for complete test implementation examples.

+# Test Results for PR 1863
+
+## Environment Information
+- **OS**: Linux (Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS)
+- **Swift Version**: 6.2 (swift-6.2-RELEASE)
+- **Date**: 2025-10-12
+
+## Issue Summary
+This PR contains changes related to injecting `__type = @"Object"` when missing but className/objectId are present.
+
+## Testing Limitations
+
+### Platform Requirements
+The Parse SDK for iOS/macOS requires:
+- macOS operating system
+- Xcode (versions 15 or 16 recommended)
+- iOS Simulator or physical devices
+- Ruby with Bundler for running Rake tasks
+
+### Current Environment
+The current test environment is running on Linux, which does not have:
+- Xcode build tools
+- iOS/macOS frameworks (Foundation, UIKit, etc.)
+- iOS/tvOS/watchOS simulators
+
+### Build Attempt Results
+
+**Swift Package Manager Build**: ❌ Failed
+```
+Error: Foundation/Foundation.h file not found
+```
+
+The Parse SDK uses Apple-specific frameworks that are not available on Linux. The build fails immediately when trying to compile Objective-C code that imports Foundation.
+
+## Recommended Testing Approach
+
+To properly test this PR, the following tests should be run on macOS with Xcode:
+
+### 1. Install Dependencies
+```bash
+git submodule update --init --recursive
+gem install bundler -v 2.5.22
+bundle install
+```
+
+### 2. Run Core Module Tests
+```bash
+# iOS Tests (iOS 17 or 18)
+bundle exec rake test:ios
+
+# macOS Tests
+bundle exec rake test:macos
+```
+
+### 3. Run LiveQuery Module Tests (if applicable)
+```bash
+# iOS LiveQuery Tests
+bundle exec rake test:parse_live_query:ios
+
+# macOS LiveQuery Tests
+bundle exec rake test:parse_live_query:osx
+
+# tvOS LiveQuery Tests
+bundle exec rake test:parse_live_query:tvos
+
+# watchOS LiveQuery Tests
+bundle exec rake test:parse_live_query:watchos
+```
+
+### 4. Build Starter Projects
+```bash
+bundle exec rake build:starters
+```
+
+## Test Coverage Focus Areas
+
+Based on the PR description mentioning `__type = @"Object"` injection, the following test areas should be carefully reviewed:
+
+1. **Decoder Tests** (`Parse/Tests/Unit/DecoderTests.m`)
+   - Test object decoding with and without `__type` field
+   - Verify pointer stub handling
+   - Check dictionary path fallback behavior
+
+2. **Object File Coder Tests** (`Parse/Tests/Unit/ObjectFileCoderTests.m`)
+   - Test encoding/decoding of objects
+   - Verify className and objectId handling
+
+3. **Field Operation Decoder Tests** (`Parse/Tests/Unit/FieldOperationDecoderTests.m`)
+   - Test field operations with various object states
+
+## Continuous Integration
+
+The GitHub Actions CI workflow (`.github/workflows/ci.yml`) runs comprehensive tests on:
+- Multiple Xcode versions (15 and 16)
+- Multiple platform versions (iOS 17, iOS 18, macOS 14, macOS 15, etc.)
+- All modules (Core, LiveQuery)
+- All platforms (iOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS)
+
+The CI will automatically run these tests when the PR is opened/updated.
+
+## Conclusion
+
+**Status**: Unable to run unit tests in current Linux environment
+
+**Recommendation**: 
+1. Review the GitHub Actions CI results for this PR
+2. If CI is not available, run tests locally on macOS using the commands above
+3. Focus testing on object decoding/encoding functionality related to the `__type` field
+4. Verify backward compatibility with existing code that may rely on the dictionary path
+
+## Next Steps
+
+To complete testing of this PR:
+- [ ] Wait for GitHub Actions CI to complete (or trigger manually)
+- [ ] Review CI test results
+- [ ] Check for any failing tests related to object decoding
+- [ ] Verify all platforms pass tests (iOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS)
+- [ ] Review code coverage reports if available
