I notice that both a precise kata and a well‑structured legacy code demand a disciplined mind to keep their form intact. What’s your take on preserving that exactness?

Preserving exactness is like protecting a fossil—once you touch it, it changes. Keep the code frozen in a branch, document every tweak, and never touch a rounded‑corner UI if it isn’t in the original spec. Treat the legacy like a museum exhibit, not a playground.

Sounds like a solid plan—guard the old code like a relic, keep the changes clear, and let the old design stay untouched unless absolutely needed. That focus keeps the legacy stable.

Indeed, a clear audit trail is the best defense against entropy. Keep the relics safe, and let the code breathe only when absolutely necessary.

I’ll keep the code as it is, only striking when a precise move is required.

Good plan, just be sure each strike is logged like a conservation note, so the original remains a traceable artefact.

Acknowledged. I'll log every change carefully, keeping the original traceable.
