MAID Phase 3.5 - Improve code quality while maintaining test compliance

Phase 3.5: Refactoring

Important: Refactoring private implementation (functions/classes with _ prefix) does NOT require a new manifest, as long as tests pass and public API remains unchanged.

Improve code quality while keeping tests green. Refer to the MAID methodology skill for refactoring guidelines.

Your Task

  1. Ensure tests pass first: pytest tests/test_task_XXX_*.py -v

  2. Refactor code:

    • Remove duplication
    • Improve naming
    • Enhance readability
    • Keep public API unchanged

  3. CRITICAL - Validate ALL manifests after each change (no arguments):

    pytest tests/test_task_XXX_*.py -v
maid validate
maid test

    Note: maid validate and maid test WITHOUT arguments validates entire codebase

  4. Run all quality checks:

    make lint
make format

Success

✓ Tests still pass ✓ All manifest compliance maintained ✓ Code quality improved
