COPY THIS PROMPT

Propose an incremental refactor sequence with reversible checkpoints, characterization tests, migration risks, and explicit conditions for stopping or rolling back.

INPUTS

- Do not invent sources, measurements, results, quotes, or requirements.
- Make recommendations specific, prioritized, and testable.
- State risks, dependencies, and the next practical action.
