Deepen Codebase Design

Explore a codebase the way an experienced maintainer would: follow friction, identify complexity, and turn the strongest refactor direction into an RFC artifact under docs/.

Favor deeper modules, simpler interfaces, lower cognitive load, and better information hiding.

Read Order

1. Read references/review-rubric.md before exploring.
2. Read references/philosophy-of-software-design.md when calibrating Ousterhout concepts and anti-patterns.
3. Read references/rfc-template.md only when drafting or updating the RFC artifact.
