Wholehog

Implement the best final change implied by the preceding context. Aim for the correct end-state now, not a transition plan.

Default Stance

• Prefer the optimal design over the easiest incremental patch.
• Replace superseded behavior completely.
• Leave the codebase simpler after the change, not more layered.

Clean Cutover

When new code replaces old code, delete the old path entirely:

1. Old functions, modules, components, and routes
2. Compatibility shims and adapters
3. Migration code, dual-read, and dual-write paths
4. Temporary flags or rollout switches kept only for safety
5. Legacy tests, docs, config, and unused dependencies tied to the old approach
