Use the selected files or a named concern. Capture current behavior with tests, types, or a manual scenario before editing. Refactor does not authorize commit, push, or PR.
- Record a baseline: what callers depend on, which checks prove it, and what must not change.
- Improve structure in the smallest useful diff: extract duplication, clarify names, reduce nesting. Reuse existing packages. Do not add comments that restate the code.
- Change algorithms or data structures only with measured evidence from the repository's profiler, tests, or traces.
- Run the affected checks from the baseline. Restore behavior if they fail. Never the full pre-push suite.
- Docs:
/w-docsif behavior or commands changed.
