To separate reusable core logic from glue code, identify stable behavior within mixed modules and propose bounded refactors that move it into a core module. This isolates core behavior by defining clear interfaces while preserving edge-specific wiring in adapters.

Core logic boundary isolation is an architecture pattern that separates stable, reusable domain behavior from orchestration and infrastructure detail. It improves maintainability and reuse by ensuring edge-specific wiring stays at the edges of the system.

You should refactor to extract core logic when the same stable behavior appears in multiple places and module boundaries are muddy. This targeted approach prevents over-abstracting existing code by isolating only the verified core behavior into a bounded core module.

To prevent over-abstracting during a modularity refactor, specify clear boundaries for when to apply the extraction. Keep edge-specific wiring in adapters and move only stable, reusable logic into the core module to guide reviews and avoid unnecessary abstraction.

Isolating core logic does not require moving all infrastructure code into adapters. It targets bounded refactors across modules, preserving edge-specific wiring at the edges while moving only the stable, reusable behavior into the core module.

Document core logic boundaries by identifying reusable sections and specifying clear interfaces for the core module. This provides bounded refactor proposals that detail what stable logic moves to the core and what edge-specific wiring remains in adapters for clear handoffs.
