Progress Summary

Phase 1: Prerequisites

Phase 1.5: Additional Cleanup

Phase 2: Module Files

Overall Progress: Phase 1 ✅ Complete, Phase 1.5 ✅ Complete, Phase 2 ✅ Complete, Phase 3 ✅ Complete

Success Criteria

• All prerequisite refactoring completed (Phase 1)
• Additional cleanup completed (Phase 1.5)
• Each system has clear module boundary
• No circular module dependencies
• All tests pass with modules
• Performance not regressed
• Documentation complete

Estimated Timeline

Phase 3: Stabilization ✅ COMPLETED

Phase 3 Tasks
