2. Inspect the relevant modules and dependencies.
3. Identify safe refactor boundaries.
4. Propose a scoped plan.
5. Refactor incrementally.
6. Review for:

   - reduced complexity
   - improved readability
   - regression risk
7. Summarize:
   - what was simplified
   - what was preserved
   - remaining debt
