Execute-Refactor 150 Protocol

Overview

Run in three stages:

1. Research refactor options (iterative, no code changes).
2. Plan + confirm + implement with tests and validation.
3. Apply Scout105 cleanup (objective, small, user-approved).

Stage 1 — Research refactor options (iterative)

1. Create or reuse the session log at .sessions/SESSION_[date]-[name].md.

   • If the file does not exist, create it and add the investigation template below.
   • Keep all research notes inside the session log only (no scattered notes in chat).

2. Define the core question (the refactor goal).

   • Write a single sentence: “We need to refactor X to achieve Y.”
   • Example: “Refactor SermonCard to reduce duplication and isolate date logic.”
