To begin the refactoring:
- Read the full plan: REFACTORING_PLAN.md
- Review the ADR: docs/adr/001-refactor-for-maintainability.md
- Start with Phase 1: REFACTORING_PHASE_1_GUIDE.md
- Run tests after each change:
npx nx test workspace - Commit frequently: Small, focused commits
- Update documentation: Keep docs in sync with code
# Run all tests
npx nx test workspace
# Run linting
npx nx lint workspace
# Build project
npx nx build workspace
# Run e2e tests
npx nx e2e workspace-e2e- All 140+ existing tests must pass
- New unit tests must pass
- No linting errors
- Build must succeed
- E2E tests must pass
- Simple extractions
- Easy to test
- Easy to revert if needed
- More complex logic
- Multiple dependencies
- Requires careful testing
- Integration tests critical
- Core orchestration changes
- End-to-end impact
- Comprehensive testing required
- May need multiple iterations
- Each phase is a separate commit
- Can revert individual commits
- All tests must pass before merging
- No deployment until all phases complete
Conservative Estimate: 1-2 weeks of focused work
Optimistic Estimate: 5-8 days of focused work
Realistic Estimate: 1.5 weeks with reviews and testing
