ca-refactor
From the author
Restructure code without changing observable behavior: rename, extract, inline, move, deduplicate, or replace an internal implementation with an equivalent one. Prove parity through unchanged pre-existing tests. Not for new behavior, bug fixes, explanation-only questions, or committing finished work.
