Tidying provides a disciplined approach to improving code structure without changing behavior, preventing drift and making future work safer and faster.
Apply Tidy First by making small, safe structural changes that preserve behavior and commit them separately.

Safe refactoring involves making small, isolated structural changes to your codebase while strictly preserving existing behavior. You apply the Tidy First methodology to improve readability and maintainability, committing these refinements separately from feature work to ensure they are reversible.
You should tidy code before, after, or instead of feature work. Tidying is especially effective after feature work or during cleanup discussions to make future modifications safer and faster by preventing structural drift across your systems.
Yes, small refactoring techniques apply across frontend, backend, CLI, and library code. The tidying process enforces behavior-contract and context-boundaries guidelines to ensure structural refinements remain safe, isolated, and reversible across different software engineering contexts.
The best way to improve maintainability is applying the Tidy First methodology to make small, safe structural changes. By committing these isolated refinements separately after feature work, you keep systems coherent without altering behavior or risking drift.
Behavior-preserving refactoring keeps changes isolated and reversible by enforcing safety guidelines described in behavior-contract and context-boundaries. This ensures structural refinements are small, safe, and committed separately, preventing unintended side effects.
Committing refactoring changes separately from feature work ensures structural refinements remain isolated and reversible. This disciplined approach prevents drift, improves code readability, and makes future modifications safer and faster without altering behavior.
