+## [1.4.0.0] - 2026-01-10
+### Changed
+- **Breaking Change**: Removed the verify fallback mechanism that searched thread history when `StableName` lookup failed.
+    - **Impact**: Strict verification is now enforced. Tests using `shouldBeCalled` or related matchers will now deterministically fail if the mock function's identity cannot be strictly resolved (e.g., in some HPC/Coverage environments without proper handling), rather than attempting to guess the intent.
+    - **Motivation**: To ensure absolute confidence in test results and support reliable HPC coverage analysis.
+
+### Improved
+- **HPC Code Coverage Support**: The library and test suite are now fully compatible with `stack test --coverage`.
+    - Verification logic has been hardened to handle HPC instrumentation.
+    - The test suite now automatically detects HPC mode and skips only those tests that strictly depend on `StableName` identity (which is inherently unstable under HPC), ensuring the rest of the suite runs safely.
+- **Test Suite Modernization**: Refactored Property-based tests and `WithMockIO` specs to use the `expects` pattern (definition-time expectation). This makes them robust enough to strictly verify behavior even in HPC environments.
+- **Granularity**: Improved module organization in `Spec.hs` for better maintainability.
+
 ## [1.3.3.0] - 2026-01-04
 ### Added
 - **Type Families Support**: `deriveMockInstances` now supports type classes containing Associated Type Families.

 **Mockcat** は、Haskell のための直感的で宣言的なモックライブラリです。
-専用の演算子 **Mock Arrow (`~>`)** を使うことで、関数定義と同じような感覚で、引数と振る舞いをモックとして記述できます。
+2つの検証スタイルをサポートしています。
 
+*   **事前宣言による検証 (`expects`)**: 【推奨】 モック定義時に期待される振る舞いを宣言します。
+*   **事後検証 (`shouldBeCalled`)**: テスト実行後に呼び出しを検証します。
+

--- 定義 (Define)
+-- 定義と同時に検証内容を宣言 ("input" で1回呼ばれることを期待)
 f <- mock ("input" ~> "output")
+  `expects` called once
 
--- 検証 (Verify)

 ## 使い方ガイド (User Guide)
 
-Mockcat は、テストの目的や好みに応じて 2 つの検証スタイルをサポートしています。
-
-1.  **事後検証スタイル (Spy)**:
-    とりあえずモックで振る舞いを定義して実行し、後から `shouldBeCalled` で検証するスタイル。探索的なテストや、セットアップを簡単に済ませたい場合に適しています。（以下のセクション 1, 2 で主に使用）
-2.  **事前期待スタイル (Declarative/Expectation)**:
-    定義と同時に「こう呼ばれるべき」という期待を記述するスタイル。厳密なインタラクションのテストに適しています。（以下のセクション 3 で解説）
+Mockcat は、テストの目的や環境に応じて 2 つの検証スタイルをサポートしています。

+定義と同時に期待値を記述するスタイルです。スコープを抜ける時に自動的に検証が走ります。
+「定義」と「検証」を近くに書きたい場合に便利です。

 ## User Guide
 
 Mockcat supports two verification styles depending on your testing needs and preferences.
 
-1.  **Post-Verification Style (Spy)**:
-    Define mock behavior, run the code, and verify afterwards using `shouldBeCalled`.  
-    Ideal for exploratory testing or simple setups. (Used mainly in Sections 1 & 2 below)
-2.  **Pre-Expectation Style (Declarative/Expectation)**:
-    Describe "how it should be called" at the definition time.  
-    Ideal for strict interaction testing. (Explained in Section 3)
-
-### 1. Function Mocking (`mock`) - [Basic]
+### 1. Declarative Verification (`withMock` / `expects`) - [Recommended]
 
-The most basic usage. Creates a function that returns values for specific arguments.
+A style where you describe expectations at definition time. Verification runs automatically when exiting the scope.
+Useful when you want "Definition" and "Verification" to be written close together.
 
 ```haskell
--- Function that returns True for "a" -> "b"
-f <- mock ("a" ~> "b" ~> True)
+import Test.Hspec
+import Test.MockCat
+import Control.Monad.IO.Class (MonadIO(liftIO))
+
+spec :: Spec
+spec = do
+  it "User Guide (withMock)" $ do
+    withMock $ do
+      -- Define a mock that returns True for "Hello"
+      f <- mock ("Hello" ~> True)
+        `expects` called once
+
+      -- Execution
+      let result = f "Hello"
+
+      liftIO $ result `shouldBe` True
 ```
 
-**Flexible Matching**:
-You can specify conditions (predicates) instead of concrete values.
+#### `withMockIO`: Simplified IO Testing
+`withMockIO` is an IO-specialized version of `withMock`. It allows you to run IO actions directly within the mock context without needing `liftIO`.
 
 ```haskell
--- Arbitrary string (param any)
-f <- mock (any ~> True)
+import Test.Hspec
+import Test.MockCat
 
--- Condition (when)
-f <- mock (when (> 5) "> 5" ~> True)
+spec :: Spec
+spec = do
+  it "User Guide (withMockIO)" $ do
+    withMockIO $ do
+      f <- mock ("Hello" ~> True)
+        `expects` called once
+
+      let result = f "Hello"
+
+      result `shouldBe` True
 ```
 
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> When using `expects` (declarative verification), you MUST wrap the mock definition in **parentheses `(...)`**.
+> The `$` operator pattern used in previous versions (`mock $ ... expected ...`) will cause compilation errors due to precedence changes.
+>
+> ❌ `mock $ any ~> True expects ...`
+> ✅ `mock (any ~> True) expects ...`

+### 3. Function Mocking and Post-Verification (`mock` / `shouldBeCalled`)
 
-A style where you describe expectations at definition time. Verification runs automatically when exiting the scope.
-Useful when you want "Definition" and "Verification" to be written close together.
+The most basic usage. Creates a function that returns values for specific arguments.
+Combining it with Post-Verification (`shouldBeCalled`) makes it suitable for exploratory testing or prototyping.
 
 ```haskell
-withMock $ do
-  -- Write expectations (expects) at definition time
-  f <- mock (any ~> True)
-    `expects` do
-      called once `with` "arg"
+import Test.Hspec
+import Test.MockCat
 
-  -- Execution
-  f "arg"
+spec :: Spec
+spec = do
+  it "Function Mocking" $ do
+    -- Define a mock that returns True for "Hello" (No 'expects' here)
+    f <- mock ("Hello" ~> True)
+    
+    -- Execution
+    f "Hello" `shouldBe` True
 
-#### `withMockIO`: Simplified IO Testing
-`withMockIO` is an IO-specialized version of `withMock`. It allows you to run IO actions directly within the mock context without needing `liftIO`.
+    -- Post-Verification (shouldBeCalled)
+    f `shouldBeCalled` "Hello"
+```
 
+> [!WARNING]
+> **Limitation in HPC (Code Coverage) Environments**
+> Do not use `shouldBeCalled` when running tests with `stack test --coverage` or similar.
+> The code coverage instrumentation by GHC wraps functions, which changes their identity and causes verification to fail.
+> If you need code coverage, please use the **`expects`** style (Section 1).
+
+**Flexible Matching**:
+You can specify conditions (predicates) instead of concrete values.
+
 ```haskell
-it "IO test" $ withMockIO do
-  f <- mock (any ~> pure "result")
-  res <- someIOCall f
-  res `shouldBe` "result"

 <summary><strong>Q. Can I run tests with code coverage (HPC)?</strong></summary>
-A. Yes (since v1.1.0.0). Mockcat natively handles the instability of `StableName` introduced by HPC instrumentation, so you can run `stack test --coverage` without issues.
+A. Yes (since v1.1.0.0). Mockcat's `expects` style is designed to be unaffected by the function wrapping performed by HPC, so it operates safely even under HPC.
+However, for the reasons mentioned above, we strongly recommend using the **`expects`** style (or `withMock`).
+The `shouldBeCalled` style cannot be used because HPC's mechanism makes it impossible to identify mock identity.
