dry-refactoring

Guided workflow to eliminate copy-paste duplication detected by jscpd.

Detect clones

make duplication

Eight lines is the comparison floor. A project may change flags only through its canonical gate and selected executable. Zero reported clones is mandatory; there is no baseline suppression contract.

Workflow

1. Resolve the writable worktree, integration base, and gate owner.
2. Parse each clone line into its two locations (file + line range).
3. Read both fragments; classify semantic duplication, canonical projection, generated/historical evidence, distinct fixture, or tokenizer false positive. Textual similarity alone authorizes no edit.
4. Remediate only confirmed semantic duplication (references/procedure.md).
5. Require zero clones, then prove the merged integration commit, command, working directory, exit code, before/after counts, and runtime.

Cross-format clones usually mean a port kept both implementations; consolidate at one owner. Test clones often need a helper; unrelated-module clones often need a shared utility.

Never infer flags from another version: correct and execute the selector-free root Make owner when its contract is under change.
