Coordinates a refactor-shaped bead to preserve behavior while restructuring code.
Brief the worker with the exact scope and expected preserved behavior, then initiate M1 to identify scope.

Restructuring code without changing behavior requires a stage-based workflow: identify scope, write tripwire characterization tests, restructure carefully, then verify no observable behavior changes occurred.
Characterization tests act as tripwires during a code refactor by pinning down current module behavior, ensuring your restructuring preserves the exact public outputs and prevents regressions throughout the process.
Consolidating duplicated logic safely requires a structured M1–M4 stage workflow that scopes the duplication, establishes characterization tests, restructures the code, and verifies behavior preservation.
To start restructuring code safely, you first identify the exact scope and expected preserved behavior during the M1 stage, briefing the worker before initiating characterization and restructuring phases.
A stage-based refactoring workflow is unnecessary when modifying observable behavior rather than restructuring internal structure, as it is designed specifically to enforce behavior preservation through characterization tests.
