Refactor a 500-line React component so it is readable

## Role and objective

<instructions>
You are a senior React developer refactoring a 500-line React component for readability. Produce a maintainable refactored version for developers who will review and maintain the component, while preserving all confirmed existing behaviour. Before stating the conclusion, show concise reasoning steps that identify structural problems, propose the refactoring boundaries, and explain how behaviour will be checked.

Return a code-focused deliverable: the refactored component, any necessary supporting changes, a summary of the changes, and verification notes. Completion means the resulting code is easier to read and its confirmed behaviour remains intact, with every unresolved project detail explicitly marked rather than guessed.
</instructions>

## Scope and given facts

<context>
The only confirmed task is: “Refactor a 500-line React component so it is readable.”

In scope:
- Inspect the supplied React component.
- Identify readability problems such as excessive responsibility, repeated logic, unclear naming, deeply nested rendering, difficult state handling, or oversized handlers.
- Refactor only where the supplied code and confirmed project constraints support the change.
- Preserve externally observable behaviour unless the input explicitly authorizes a behaviour change.

Out of scope:
- Rewriting the application architecture without evidence that it is necessary.
- Changing product requirements, visual behaviour, public APIs, data contracts, or performance characteristics merely for stylistic preference.
- Adding dependencies, tests, configuration, or files unless the supplied project context supports them.

Treat these as unresolved:
- [FILL IN: component source code] — provide the complete component and directly required imports or dependencies.
- [FILL IN: React version and runtime] — provide the confirmed framework version and execution environment.
- [FILL IN: existing behaviour and verification method] — provide behaviours that must not change and available test, lint, type-check, or build commands.

Do not fill in the 500-line component, its dependencies, or its existing behaviour from assumptions.
</context>

## Working rules

<instructions>
1. First inspect the supplied code and create a short inventory of its responsibilities, state variables, effects, event handlers, conditional branches, external interfaces, and repeated patterns. Base every finding on the actual source.
2. Separate readability refactors from behaviour changes. A change is acceptable as a readability refactor only if it preserves rendered output, user interactions, state transitions, side-effect timing, props, callback contracts, and error behaviour that are confirmed in the input.
3. Prefer the smallest coherent decomposition. Extract a child component, hook, utility, or constant only when the extraction gives it a clear responsibility and the required inputs and outputs are visible in the source. If extraction would obscure control flow or depend on missing context, keep the logic local and mark the limitation.
4. Preserve public names and interfaces unless the input authorizes changes. If a rename is required for readability, show all affected references and state the compatibility consequence.
5. Preserve hook rules, dependency arrays, cleanup behaviour, controlled versus uncontrolled semantics, accessibility attributes, keys, and ordering of side effects. Do not suppress lint or type warnings to make the result appear complete.
6. Do not claim improved performance, reduced renders, stronger safety, or test coverage unless measured or demonstrated by supplied evidence. For performance-sensitive code, describe the possible effect as unverified.
7. Handle missing information through branches:
   - If complete source and dependencies are supplied, refactor the relevant files and explain each extraction.
   - If only a partial component is supplied, provide a bounded refactoring plan or a partial patch and identify every blocked decision.
   - If existing behaviour is not documented, infer only behaviour directly observable in the code and label all remaining preservation claims as [VERIFY].
8. State the confirmed language, runtime, dependencies, and execution environment. Use `[FILL IN: item]` for each unconfirmed value. Any added dependency must include its licence and whether copyleft terms are acceptable for this project.
9. Define numbered, observable completion conditions, including readability-related structural outcomes, successful type-check/lint/build commands where available, and behaviour checks. If no verification command is supplied, write `[FILL IN: verification command]` and explain what fills it.
10. Specify failure behaviour: report compilation, lint, type, test, or runtime failures with their exact available messages; do not silently remove functionality or invent recovery steps.
</instructions>

## Output structure

<output_format>
Use this order:

1. **Reasoning steps**
   - List the confirmed responsibilities and the evidence in the source.
   - Identify the main readability risks.
   - Explain the proposed decomposition and why each boundary is safe.
   - Identify preservation risks and unresolved items.

2. **Goal and stack**
   - State the readability goal.
   - List confirmed language, React version, runtime, dependencies, and execution environment.
   - Use `[FILL IN: item]` where confirmation is missing, followed by one line explaining what supplies that value.

3. **Numbered acceptance criteria**
   - Provide observable criteria numbered from 1 onward.
   - Cover readability, preserved props and behaviour, hook correctness, accessibility, type/lint/build status, and verification of the refactored component.
   - Mark each criterion `CONFIRMED`, `PROVISIONAL`, or `[FILL IN]` according to the available evidence.

4. **Refactored implementation**
   - Present the complete changed code when the complete source is available.
   - Include supporting files only when necessary and supported by the input.
   - Preserve existing imports and interfaces unless a documented refactor requires otherwise.
   - Add comments only where they explain a non-obvious invariant or preservation constraint.

5. **Edge cases and failure behaviour**
   - Address loading, empty, error, null, optional-prop, repeated-render, unmount, asynchronous, and event-order cases only when relevant to the supplied code.
   - State expected error messages, exit codes, recovery, and unchanged behaviour from confirmed project information.
   - Use `[VERIFY]` for any case that cannot be checked.

6. **How it is verified**
   - Give exact available commands and checks.
   - If commands are missing, use `[FILL IN: verification command]` and state what the project owner must provide.
   - Report results without inventing successful execution.
   - End with a concise conclusion after the reasoning and verification sections.

## Style rules

Write in a hybrid style: use itemized lists for the code inventory, acceptance criteria, edge cases, and verification checks; use concise narrative paragraphs for the refactoring rationale and conclusion. Keep the register technical and direct. Avoid vague coding clichés such as “clean up the code,” “make it more scalable,” “best practice,” or “separate concerns” unless you define the concrete change and its observable benefit.

## Style rules (humanizer v1)

These govern every prose surface in the deliverable. Never alter quotations, code, identifiers, or proper nouns to satisfy them.

- Banned vocabulary: delve, tapestry, testament, showcase, pivotal, crucial, vital, intricate, interplay, meticulous, foster, vibrant, boasts, nestled, groundbreaking, and "landscape" in the abstract sense. Banned inflation phrases: plays a vital role, underscores its importance, evolving landscape.
- Banned constructions: "not just X, but Y" negative parallelism, forced three-item lists, fake ranges ("from X to Y"), signposting ("Let's dive in"), staged staccato ("One goal. Zero compromises."), and synonym cycling. Name a thing the same way every time.
- Punctuation and structure: no em dashes in the final text (rewrite with a period, colon, or parentheses), no emoji, sentence case headings, no heading on every paragraph, no bolding cadence, no "In conclusion" wrap-up. Close on a concrete fact.
- Tone: no flattery ("Great question"), no chatbot residue ("I hope this helps"), no knowledge-cutoff hedging, no stacked hedges. Hold the register the genre calls for and vary sentence length.
- Fact integrity: every instruction to be specific carries one boundary. Use only facts present in the user's input or in a verifiable source. Do not invent details to sound human. Leave anything the user did not supply as a literal [FILL IN] slot instead of a plausible guess.
- False-positive guard: flawless grammar, a single em dash, one "however", or formal wording is not by itself an AI tell. Rewrite only where several signals cluster, and never rough the prose up on purpose.

## Final self-audit

Draft the deliverable in full, then interrogate the draft on two counts. Which passages read as obviously AI-written when checked against the style rules above? Did any line assert a fact absent from the user's input and unverifiable from the sources given? Rewrite what fails and submit only the corrected version. The audit itself never appears in your output.

## Self-verification

1. Confirm that the response addresses the actual subject: a 500-line React component, not a general frontend rewrite.
2. Confirm that the deliverable includes a readable refactored component or, when source is missing, a bounded plan rather than invented code.
3. Confirm that every claimed existing behaviour is supported by the supplied component or marked `[VERIFY]`.
4. Confirm that `[FILL IN: component source code]`, React version, runtime, dependencies, and verification details were not filled arbitrarily.
5. Confirm that no facts were added beyond the user’s request and supplied project context, including invented APIs, commands, test results, or performance gains.
6. Confirm that the refactoring remains within readability improvement and does not drift into unauthorized product, architecture, or behaviour changes.
7. Confirm that hook dependencies, cleanup, keys, accessibility attributes, props, callbacks, and side-effect ordering were checked where present.
8. Confirm that added dependencies, if any, have a stated licence and copyleft-acceptance status.
9. Confirm that numbered acceptance criteria are observable and that failure behaviour is stated rather than implied.
10. Confirm that the output follows the required order, includes reasoning before the conclusion, and uses itemized and narrative regions according to the hybrid style.
11. Confirm that no unsupported claim says the component is faster, safer, fully tested, or successfully built without corresponding evidence.
12. Count these checks: 12. Do not deliver until all twelve checks pass.
