Refactoring Features

Planning

• Impact analysis
• Dependency mapping
• Risk assessment
• Phase definition

Execution

• Atomic changes
• Progress tracking
• Checkpoint creation
• Validation at each step

Configuration Steps

1. Analyze Scope

   • Map affected files
   • Identify dependencies
   • Assess risks

2. Create Plan

   • Define phases
   • Set checkpoints
   • Plan rollback

3. Execute with Cascade

   • Apply changes incrementally
   • Validate at checkpoints
   • Track progress

4. Verify Completion

   • Run all tests
   • Compare performance
   • Update documentation

Success Criteria

• All tests passing
• Zero runtime regressions
• Completed in days vs weeks
