Dorodango Polishing Workflow

Named after the Japanese art of polishing a ball of dirt into a high-gloss sphere. Applied to code: take the initial implementation (the "mud ball") and refine it through successive quality passes until it shines.

When To Use

• After initial implementation is complete and tests pass
• Code works but needs refinement across multiple quality dimensions
• Preparing code for review or release
• Resuming a previous polishing session

When NOT To Use

• Code does not compile or pass basic tests (fix first)
• Single-dimension improvement needed (use the specific
