Simplify

When to use

Use after behavior is understood and the user wants clarity or less complexity.

Non-goals

  • Do not mix cleanup with speculative refactors that change behavior.

  • Do not “simplify” by deleting necessary safety checks.

Workflow

  1. Confirm current behavior with tests or reproduction.

  2. Reduce complexity in small, reviewable steps.

  3. Keep behavior-preserving verification green.
