Quality Update - Incremental Implementation

Systematically implement code quality improvements from the review document, making tested, atomic commits for each fix.

Process Overview

1. Read the quality review from docs/quality_review.md
2. Prioritize improvements (start with Quick Wins, then High Priority)
3. Implement fixes incrementally (one logical change at a time)
4. Run tests after each change to ensure nothing breaks
5. Make atomic commits that capture the change and its purpose
6. Update review document to track progress

Detailed Steps

Step 1: Read and Parse Review

# Read the current quality review
Read docs/quality_review.md

Focus on these sections in priority order:

1. Appendix B: Quick Wins - Start here (fast, low risk)
2. High Priority (This Week) - Critical improvements
3. Medium Priority (Next Week) - Important but not urgent
4. Skip Low Priority items for now

Step 2: Select Next Improvement

Choose improvements based on:

• Risk: Low risk first (refactoring, style fixes)
• Dependencies: Prerequisites before dependent work
• Atomicity: Each commit should be one logical change
• Test coverage: Ensure tests exist or add them

Step 3: Implement the Fix

For each improvement:

1. Read affected files to understand current state
2. Make the change using Edit or Write
3. Run linter to ensure style compliance:

   bundle exec rake standard:fix
   

4. Run tests to verify correctness:

   bundle exec rspec
   

5. Fix any test failures before proceeding

Step 4: Make Atomic Commit

Commit Message Format:

[Quality] Brief description of what was fixed

- Specific change made (e.g., "Extract DatabaseCheck from DoctorCommand")
- Why this improves quality (e.g., "Improves SRP and testability")
- Expert principle applied (e.g., "Sandi Metz: Single Responsibility")
