A maintainability review analyzes a codebase to improve structure and reduce complexity. It targets abstractions, oversized files, and spaghetti-condition growth to enforce modularization and prevent spiraling code debt.

Architectural smells are structural flaws like poor abstractions or oversized files. You refactor them by applying code-judo style moves to restructure the codebase into smaller, clearer components while preserving behavior.

Yes, strict code quality audits can apply to mid-to-large codebases across branches. The review enforces explicit boundaries and robust guardrails to surface dramatic structural improvements on the current branch.

The best way to reduce spaghetti-condition growth is enforcing explicit boundaries and modularization. Concrete refactoring moves restructure the codebase into smaller components, ensuring rigorous guardrails and behavior preservation.

Aggressive refactoring is specialized for mid-to-large codebases needing dramatic simplification. It should be avoided for small codebases or when strict behavior preservation cannot be validated after restructuring.
