# Refactoring
Restructure code while preserving exact behavior — extract a module, move a class to its better
home, redraw a dependency boundary, split or merge files. The goal is a codebase that is easier to
evolve, not fewer lines or prettier names. Every move is behavior-preserving and test-pinned.
## When to use
- Extracting a module or class from inline code to redraw a boundary
- Moving a function/class to where it has the most context (Feature Envy fix at structure level)
- Splitting one oversized file/module into cohesive units, or merging near-duplicates into one
- Changing a dependency direction — inverting, decoupling, replacing a concrete dep with an interface
- Preparing a codebase for a feature by reshaping it first (then implement separately)
- Triggers on "refactor structure", "extract module", "move class", "split file", "change dependency", "重构结构", "提取模块", "拆分文件", "改依赖图"
**Not for:** single-file clarity cleanup — renaming, nesting, dead-code removal (use `simplify`); producing an architecture audit or design doc without executing the change (use `codebase-design`); machine-detectable lint/style issues (use `linting`).
## Steps
### 1. Pin behavior before moving anything
Refactoring is behavior-preserving by definition — if behavior can shift, you're not refactoring,
you're rewriting. Pin it first:
- Run the test suite; it must be green. If it isn't, stop — fix the breakage or establish the baseline separately.
- If the area has weak coverage, add **ch
