Refactor Pass

Workflow

1. Review recent changes — identify simplification opportunities:

   • git diff for unstaged changes
   • git diff --cached for staged changes
   • git log --oneline -5 for recent commits if no uncommitted changes

2. Apply refactors (in priority order):

   • Remove dead code and unreachable paths
   • Straighten convoluted logic flows
   • Remove excessive parameters or intermediary variables
   • Remove premature optimization (unnecessary useMemo, useCallback, etc.)
   • Extract duplicated logic into custom hooks (src/hooks/) or shared components (src/components/)

3. Verify — run all three checks:

   yarn build && yarn lint && yarn type-check
   

4. Optional suggestions — identify abstractions or reusable patterns only if they clearly improve clarity. Keep suggestions brief; don't refactor speculatively.

Project-Specific Patterns to Enforce

When refactoring, watch for these anti-patterns from AGENTS.md:

| Anti-pattern | Refactor to | |---|---| | useState for shared state | Zustand store in src/stores/ | | useEffect for data fetching | plebbit-react-hooks (useComment, useFeed, etc.) | | useEffect to sync derived state | Calculate during render | | Copy-pasted logic across components | Custom hook in src/hooks/ | | Boolean flag soup (isLoading, isError, isSuccess) | State machine in Zustand | | Prop drilling through many layers | Zustand store |

Rules

• Don't change behavior — refactors must be semantically equivalent
• Don't introduce new dependencies
• Format edited files with npx oxfmt <file> after changes
• If the build/lint/type-check fails after refactoring, fix it before finishing
