# Refactor — one structural experiment
Refactor changes structure while preserving observable behavior. It performs one
caller-selected transformation and reports the result. "Behavior-preserving" is
a claim to prove with before/after checks, never to assert.
## What counts as behavior
Unless the caller explicitly excluded a surface, all of these must survive:
- **Messages and exit codes.** Error and output text compares byte-for-byte;
exit codes, error types and which input raises which error stay the same.
Scripts and callers parse them. Preserve an inconsistent message and report
it; normalizing it is a behavior change.
- **Differences between near-duplicates.** When merging duplicated branches,
