# Refactor Pass

## Workflow

1. Review the changes just made and identify simplification opportunities.
2. Apply refactors to:
- Remove dead code and dead paths.
- Straighten logic flows.
- Remove excessive parameters.
- Remove premature optimization.
3. Run build/tests to verify behavior.
4. Identify optional abstractions or reusable patterns; only suggest them if they clearly improve clarity and keep suggestions brief.
