Safe refactoring for readability requires green verification status first, followed by small, focused changes to naming or structure that preserve observable results, and a mandatory re-run of verification checks after edits.

The best way to improve code maintainability after passing tests is to limit refactoring diffs to small, reviewable steps that reduce duplication and improve naming, ensuring observable behavior remains unchanged throughout the process.

Run verification checks immediately before starting a refactor to confirm green status, and re-run them after edits to confirm structural changes and naming improvements did not alter observable results.

No, you must avoid new dependencies when refactoring for readability. The process focuses on reorganizing structure, reducing duplication, and improving naming through small, reviewable diffs without altering observable results.

Code refactoring requires green verification first to establish a baseline of correct observable behavior, ensuring that subsequent small, focused changes to naming or structure can be safely validated without introducing regressions.
