- 14 duplicate groups → reduce to <3%
- Estimated: 1-2 release cycles

### Phase 2c
- Architecture compliance violations
- 95.8% → 100% compliance
- Estimated: 1 release cycle

## 🎯 How to Use This Documentation

**For Code Review:**
1. Start with PHASE_2A_COMPLETION_REPORT.md for overview
2. Review REFACTORING_HANDLE_GET_PROMPT.md for detailed design
3. Check git commits for actual code changes

**For Continuation (Phase 2a):**
1. Review quality improvements in PHASE_2A_COMPLETION_REPORT.md
2. Follow same patterns: dispatcher + specialized handlers
3. Apply extract method for nesting reduction
4. Ensure backward compatibility maintained

**For Future Refactoring:**
- Use dispatcher pattern for multi-branch logic
- Extract methods for nesting depth >3
- Maintain single responsibility principle
- Always keep backward compatibility
