What it does
Refactor cleanly instead of layering sediment. Use for rename requests, stale or misleading names, legacy leftovers, changed scope, or when a change reveals duplicated concepts, local adapters, obsolete owners, redundant inputs or guards, compatibility wrappers, parallel abstractions, an over-large module that has accreted many responsibilities, or "just tack this on" pressure in any code area.
Clean Refactoring
Replace the old shape with the simpler shape the codebase would want if it were designed today. Refactoring is not adding a compatibility layer beside the problem; it is moving ownership until every concept has exactly one clear home. That cuts both ways: merging N duplicated owners into one, and splitting one over-loaded module into the several owners it was hiding.
