description	Perform behavior-preserving simplification and cleanup after green tests.

Refactor Simplify

Trigger

Use when requested refactor is readability/DRY/removal of repeated abstraction.

Inputs

• Task/task set and green baseline test evidence.

Outputs

• Refactored code with no behavior regression.
• Updated/added characterization tests if necessary.

Procedure

1. Confirm baseline is green.
2. Identify duplicate abstractions, verbose wrappers, and repeated boilerplate.
3. Refactor only local scope.
4. Keep public behavior unchanged.

Guardrails

• No behavior change unless explicitly requested.
• Preserve API/shape.

Success criteria

• Equivalent behavior verified by rerun of baseline suite.

Prefer Superpowers

• Use refactor patterns only and ask writing-plans only when scope is large.

Avoid scope creep

• Do not introduce new architecture in simplification pass.
