" summary

Shows a concrete refactor workflow: TypeScript plus its compiler catches broken types so refactors become safe rather than guesswork. The claim is that running tsc --noEmit --watch and using VS Code find references and rename lets someone remove 2,000 lines removed in one day without runtime breakage. Demonstrates using compiler errors to locate missing dependencies, editor references to find unused symbols, and editor renames to move code safely.
