Follow the shared source-of-truth, permission and evidence rules in `../../references/workflow-contract.md`. Read `../../references/behavior-preserving-refactors.md` for detailed method when necessary.\n\n## Procedure\n1. Define behavioral invariants, public interfaces, state/order semantics and relevant performance contracts.\n2. Establish characterization or existing regression tests before broad edits.\n3. Refactor in small steps, reuse established patterns and minimize diff churn.\n4. Compare outputs/contracts before and after; run targeted tests when possible.\n5. Report deliberate behavior changes separately, or state none intended.\nDo not add new frameworks or migrate storage unless explicitly in scope.\n\n## Handoff rule\nState actual artifacts or grounded code findings and validation status. Never invent file paths, executed tests, tool access, or completed subagent work. Keep output proportionate to the user request.\n"
