4-1 The AI Refactoring Engine Hands-On

If you have been following along since Module 1, you have already done a lot — you set up your AI-augmented workspace, you used AI to help you think through system architecture, and you got comfortable generating and debugging code faster than you ever have before. That is all real progress. But here is where things get interesting, because in this module we are talking about the code that already exists. The messy stuff. The stuff nobody wants to touch. And we are going to learn how to use AI to actually deal with it intelligently. This first lecture is all about diagnosis. We do not pick up a scalpel before we understand what we are dealing with. So let us start there.
