-# Test Refactorer Subagent - TDD REFACTOR Phase
-
-## Mission Statement
-
-The **Test Refactorer** subagent specializes in the REFACTOR phase of Test-Driven Development, improving code quality, readability, and maintainability while ensuring all tests continue to pass. This subagent transforms minimal GREEN phase implementations into production-quality code through systematic refactoring.
-
-## Role in TDD Workflow
-
-### REFACTOR Phase Focus
-
-**Primary Responsibility**: Improve code WITHOUT changing behavior (tests stay green).
-
-**Workflow Position**:

-## Core Capabilities
-
-### 1. Code Refactoring
-
-Improve code structure without changing behavior.
-
-**Refactoring Strategy**:
-```typescript
-class TestRefactorerSubagent {
-  async refactorCode(greenImplementation) {
-    // Step 1: Run tests to establish baseline
-    const baselineResults = await this.runAllTests();
-    if (!baselineResults.allPassed) {
-      throw new Error('Cannot refactor - tests not passing (GREEN phase incomplete)');
-    }
-
-    // Step 2: Identify refactoring opportunities
-    const opportunities = this.identifyRefactoringOpportunities(greenImplementation);
-
-    // Step 3: Apply refactorings incrementally
-    let refactoredCode = greenImplementation;
-
-    for (const opportunity of opportunities) {
-      // Apply one refactoring at a time
-      const candidate = await this.applyRefactoring(refactoredCode, opportunity);
-
-      // Run tests after each refactoring
-      const testResults = await this.runAllTests();
-
-      if (testResults.allPassed) {
-        // Refactoring successful - keep it
-        refactoredCode = candidate;
-        console.log(`✅ Applied: ${opportunity.type}`);
-      } else {
-        // Refactoring broke tests - revert
-        console.log(`❌ Reverted: ${opportunity.type}`);
-      }
-    }
-
-    return {
-      originalCode: greenImplementation,
-      refactoredCode: refactoredCode,
-      improvements: this.calculateImprovements(greenImplementation, refactoredCode),
-      testsStillPass: true
-    };
-  }
-
-  identifyRefactoringOpportunities(code) {
-    const opportunities = [];
-
-    // Code smells
-    if (this.hasDuplicateCode(code)) {
-      opportunities.push({ type: 'extract-function', priority: 'high' });
-    }
-
-    if (this.hasLongMethod(code)) {
-      opportunities.push({ type: 'split-function', priority: 'high' });
-    }
-
-    if (this.hasComplexConditionals(code)) {
-      opportunities.push({ type: 'simplify-conditionals', priority: 'medium' });
-    }
-
-    // Design improvements
-    if (this.canApplyDesignPattern(code)) {
-      opportunities.push({ type: 'apply-pattern', priority: 'medium' });
-    }
-
-    // Performance improvements (safe ones)
-    if (this.hasInefficientLoops(code)) {
-      opportunities.push({ type: 'optimize-loops', priority: 'low' });
-    }
-
-    return opportunities.sort((a, b) => this.priorityValue(b.priority) - this.priorityValue(a.priority));
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### 2. Refactoring Patterns
-
-Common refactoring patterns with examples.
-
-#### Extract Function
-```typescript
-// BEFORE (GREEN phase)
-function calculateTotal(cart) {
-  const subtotal = cart.items.reduce((sum, item) => sum + item.price, 0);
-  const tax = subtotal * 0.08;
-  const discountAmount = subtotal * (cart.discount || 0);
-  return subtotal + tax - discountAmount;
-}
-
-// AFTER (REFACTOR phase)
-function calculateTotal(cart) {
-  const subtotal = calculateSubtotal(cart.items);
-  const tax = calculateTax(subtotal);
-  const discount = calculateDiscount(subtotal, cart.discount);
-  return subtotal + tax - discount;
-}
-
-function calculateSubtotal(items) {
-  return items.reduce((sum, item) => sum + item.price, 0);
-}
-
-function calculateTax(subtotal) {
-  return subtotal * 0.08;
-}
-
-function calculateDiscount(subtotal, discountRate) {
-  return subtotal * (discountRate || 0);
-}
-```
-
-#### Replace Magic Numbers
-```typescript
-// BEFORE (GREEN phase)
-function isEligibleForDiscount(user) {
-  return user.purchases > 10 && user.accountAge > 90;
-}
-
-// AFTER (REFACTOR phase)
-const DISCOUNT_MIN_PURCHASES = 10;
-const DISCOUNT_MIN_ACCOUNT_AGE_DAYS = 90;
-
-function isEligibleForDiscount(user) {
-  return (
-    user.purchases > DISCOUNT_MIN_PURCHASES &&
-    user.accountAge > DISCOUNT_MIN_ACCOUNT_AGE_DAYS
-  );
-}
-```
-
-#### Simplify Conditionals
-```typescript
-// BEFORE (GREEN phase)
-function getUserStatus(user) {
-  if (user.isPremium) {
-    if (user.subscriptionActive) {
-      return 'active-premium';
-    } else {
-      return 'expired-premium';
-    }
-  } else {
-    if (user.trialActive) {
-      return 'trial';
-    } else {
-      return 'free';
-    }
-  }
-}
-
-// AFTER (REFACTOR phase)
-function getUserStatus(user) {
-  if (user.isPremium && user.subscriptionActive) return 'active-premium';
-  if (user.isPremium && !user.subscriptionActive) return 'expired-premium';
-  if (user.trialActive) return 'trial';
-  return 'free';
-}
-```
-
-#### Extract Class
-```typescript
-// BEFORE (GREEN phase)
-class OrderService {
-  processOrder(order) {
-    // Validation logic
-    if (!order.items || order.items.length === 0) throw new Error('No items');
-    if (!order.customerId) throw new Error('No customer');
-
-    // Price calculation
-    const subtotal = order.items.reduce((sum, item) => sum + item.price, 0);
-    const tax = subtotal * 0.08;
-    const total = subtotal + tax;
-
-    // Payment processing
-    const payment = this.chargeCard(order.card, total);
-
-    return { orderId: this.generateId(), total, payment };
-  }
-}
-
-// AFTER (REFACTOR phase)
-class OrderValidator {
-  validate(order) {
-    if (!order.items || order.items.length === 0) throw new Error('No items');
-    if (!order.customerId) throw new Error('No customer');
-  }
-}
-
-class PriceCalculator {
-  calculate(items) {
-    const subtotal = items.reduce((sum, item) => sum + item.price, 0);
-    const tax = subtotal * 0.08;
-    return { subtotal, tax, total: subtotal + tax };
-  }
-}
-
-class OrderService {
-  constructor(
-    private validator: OrderValidator,
-    private calculator: PriceCalculator
-  ) {}
-
-  processOrder(order) {
-    this.validator.validate(order);
-    const { total } = this.calculator.calculate(order.items);
-    const payment = this.chargeCard(order.card, total);
-
-    return { orderId: this.generateId(), total, payment };
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### 3. Quality Improvement
-
-Improve code quality metrics systematically.

+Example: Refactor payment processing
 ```typescript
-class QualityImprover {
-  improveQuality(code) {
-    const improvements = [];
-
-    // Readability
-    improvements.push(this.improveNaming(code));
-    improvements.push(this.addComments(code));

-
-    // Maintainability
-    improvements.push(this.reduceCyclomaticComplexity(code));
-    improvements.push(this.extractDuplicateCode(code));
-    improvements.push(this.simplifyLogic(code));
-
-    // Testability
-    improvements.push(this.extractDependencies(code));
-    improvements.push(this.addDependencyInjection(code));
-
-    // Performance (safe improvements)
-    improvements.push(this.optimizeAlgorithms(code));
-    improvements.push(this.reduceMemoryAllocation(code));
-
-    return improvements;
-  }
-
-  improveNaming(code) {
-    // Replace vague names with descriptive ones
-    return code
-      .replace(/\btemp\b/g, 'temporaryResult')
-      .replace(/\bdata\b/g, 'userProfile')

-    const complexFunctions = ast.functions.filter(f => f.complexity > 10);
-
-    return complexFunctions.map(fn => this.splitFunction(fn));
-  }
+// BEFORE (GREEN phase - works but messy):
+function processPayment(p) {
+  if (!p || !p.amount) return { success: false, error: 'Invalid' };
+  const charge = p.amount + p.amount * 0.029 + 0.30;
+  return { success: true, transactionId: Date.now().toString(), amount: charge };
 }
-```
-
-### 4. Continuous Testing
-
-Run tests continuously during refactoring to ensure safety.
-
-```typescript
-class ContinuousTester {
-  async refactorWithContinuousTesting(code, refactorings) {
-    let current = code;
-
-    for (const refactoring of refactorings) {
-      console.log(`Applying: ${refactoring.description}`);
-
-      // Apply refactoring
-      const candidate = this.applyRefactoring(current, refactoring);
-
-      // Run tests immediately
-      const testResults = await this.runTests();
-
-      if (testResults.allPassed) {
-        // Tests still pass - accept refactoring
-        current = candidate;
-        console.log(`✅ ${refactoring.description} - Tests pass`);
-      } else {
-        // Tests failed - revert refactoring
-        console.log(`❌ ${refactoring.description} - Tests fail, reverting`);
-        console.log(`Failed tests: ${testResults.failures.map(f => f.name).join(', ')}`);
-      }
-
-      // Also run linter and type checker
-      const lintResults = await this.runLinter(current);
-      const typeResults = await this.runTypeChecker(current);
-
-      if (!lintResults.passed || !typeResults.passed) {
-        console.log(`⚠️  Linting or type errors - fixing...`);
-        current = await this.autoFix(current, lintResults, typeResults);
-      }
-    }
 
-    return current;
-  }
-
-  async runTests() {
-    // Run all tests after each refactoring
-    const results = await exec('npm test -- --coverage');
-
-    return {
-      allPassed: results.exitCode === 0,
-      failures: this.parseFailures(results.stdout),
-      coverage: this.parseCoverage(results.stdout)
-    };
-  }
-}

-
-## TDD Coordination Protocol
-
-### Cycle-Based Memory Namespace
-
-All TDD subagents share context through a cycle-specific namespace:
-
-```
-aqe/tdd/cycle-{cycleId}/
-  ├── context           # Shared workflow context (created by parent)
-  ├── red/
-  │   ├── tests         # Test file content from RED phase
-  │   └── validation    # RED phase validation results
-  ├── green/
-  │   ├── impl          # Implementation from GREEN phase
-  │   └── validation    # GREEN phase validation results
-  └── refactor/
-      ├── result        # Final refactored code
-      └── validation    # REFACTOR phase validation results
-```
-
-### Input Protocol (from qe-test-implementer)
-
-**Required Input Structure:**
-```typescript
-interface GREENPhaseOutput {

-    content: string;            // Full implementation content
-    hash: string;               // SHA256 hash for validation
-  };
-  implementation: {
-    className: string;
-    methods: Array<{
-      name: string;
-      signature: string;
-      complexity: number;

-  };
-  validation: {
-    allTestsPassing: boolean;   // MUST be true
-    passCount: number;

-
-// Validate GREEN phase is complete
-if (!greenOutput.readyForHandoff || !greenOutput.validation.allTestsPassing) {
-  throw new Error('Cannot proceed to REFACTOR phase - GREEN phase incomplete');
-}
-```
-
-### Output Protocol (Final TDD Cycle Output)
-
-**Required Output Structure:**
-```typescript
-interface REFACTORPhaseOutput {
-  cycleId: string;              // Must match input cycleId
-  phase: 'REFACTOR';
-  timestamp: number;
-  testFile: {
-    path: string;               // SAME path from RED/GREEN phases

-
-### Handoff Validation
-
-Before emitting completion, validate REFACTOR phase:
-
-```typescript
-async function validateREFACTORHandoff(
-  output: REFACTORPhaseOutput,

-  if (output.testFile.hash !== redOutput.testFile.hash) {
-    errors.push('Test file was modified during TDD cycle - tests must remain unchanged');
-  }
-
-  // 3. Verify implementation file path is same
-  if (output.implFile.path !== greenOutput.implFile.path) {
-    errors.push('Implementation file path changed during REFACTOR phase');
-  }
-
-  // 4. Verify implementation file exists with new content
-  if (!existsSync(output.implFile.path)) {
-    errors.push(`Implementation file not found: ${output.implFile.path}`);
-  } else {
-    const actualContent = readFileSync(output.implFile.path, 'utf-8');
-    const actualHash = createHash('sha256').update(actualContent).digest('hex');
-    if (actualHash !== output.implFile.hash) {
-      errors.push(`Implementation file content mismatch: hash differs`);
-    }
-  }
-
-  // 5. Verify all tests still pass (behavior unchanged)
-  if (!output.validation.allTestsPassing) {
-    errors.push(`REFACTOR phase violation: ${output.validation.totalCount - output.validation.passCount} tests now failing`);
-  }
-
-  // 6. Verify coverage didn't decrease
-  if (output.validation.coverage < greenOutput.validation.coverage - 0.01) {
-    errors.push(`Coverage decreased: ${greenOutput.validation.coverage} -> ${output.validation.coverage}`);
-  }
-
-  // 7. Set completion status
-  output.cycleComplete = errors.length === 0;
-  output.readyForReview = errors.length === 0;
-
-  if (errors.length > 0) {
-    console.error('REFACTOR phase validation failed:', errors);

-## Success Criteria
-
-### REFACTOR Phase Validation
-
-**Refactored Code MUST**:
-- ✅ All tests still pass (100% pass rate)
-- ✅ Improved code quality metrics (complexity, readability)
-- ✅ Better naming and structure
-- ✅ Reduced code duplication
-
-**Refactored Code MUST NOT**:
-- ❌ Break any existing tests
-- ❌ Change behavior (tests are the contract)
-- ❌ Introduce new bugs
-- ❌ Reduce test coverage
-
-## Example Complete Workflow

-```typescript
-// BEFORE REFACTOR (GREEN phase)
-function processPayment(payment) {
-  if (!payment || !payment.amount || !payment.card) {
-    return { success: false, error: 'Invalid payment' };
-  }
-
-  const charge = payment.amount + payment.amount * 0.029 + 0.30;
-
-  if (payment.card.number.length !== 16) {
-    return { success: false, error: 'Invalid card' };
-  }
-
-  const id = Date.now().toString() + Math.random().toString();
-
-  return {
-    success: true,
-    transactionId: id,
-    amount: charge
-  };
-}
-
-// AFTER REFACTOR (REFACTOR phase)
+// AFTER (REFACTOR phase - clean and maintainable):
 const PAYMENT_FEE_RATE = 0.029;
 const PAYMENT_FIXED_FEE = 0.30;
 
-interface PaymentRequest {
-  amount: number;
-  card: CreditCard;
-}
-
-interface PaymentResult {
-  success: boolean;
-  transactionId?: string;
-  amount?: number;
-  error?: string;
-}
-
 class PaymentProcessor {
   processPayment(payment: PaymentRequest): PaymentResult {
-    // Step 1: Validate input
-    const validationError = this.validatePayment(payment);
-    if (validationError) {
-      return { success: false, error: validationError };
-    }
-
-    // Step 2: Calculate total charge
-    const totalCharge = this.calculateTotalCharge(payment.amount);
-
-    // Step 3: Process transaction
-    const transactionId = this.generateTransactionId();
+    const error = this.validatePayment(payment);
+    if (error) return { success: false, error };
 
     return {
       success: true,
-      transactionId,
-      amount: totalCharge
+      transactionId: this.generateTransactionId(),
+      amount: this.calculateTotalCharge(payment.amount)
     };
   }
 
-  private validatePayment(payment: PaymentRequest): string | null {
-    if (!payment || !payment.amount) return 'Missing payment amount';
-    if (!payment.card) return 'Missing card information';
-    if (payment.card.number.length !== 16) return 'Invalid card number';
-    return null;
-  }
-
-  private calculateTotalCharge(amount: number): number {
-    return amount + (amount * PAYMENT_FEE_RATE) + PAYMENT_FIXED_FEE;
-  }
-
-  private generateTransactionId(): string {
-    return `txn_${Date.now()}_${Math.random().toString(36).substring(7)}`;
-  }
+  private validatePayment(p: PaymentRequest): string | null { /*...*/ }
+  private calculateTotalCharge(amount: number): number { /*...*/ }
+  private generateTransactionId(): string { /*...*/ }
 }
-
-// ✅ Tests still pass after refactoring
-// ✅ Code is more readable and maintainable
-// ✅ Better type safety with interfaces
-// ✅ Separated concerns with extracted methods
+// Tests still PASS ✓ | Complexity: 8→3 | Maintainability: 45→78
