Create a detailed plan for this refactoring task.

Refactor Goal

{{refactor_description}}

Instructions

  1. Search the codebase to understand current state
  2. Identify all affected files and their dependencies
  3. Plan changes in a safe sequence (types first, then implementations, then tests)
  4. Include verification steps between changes
  5. Consider rollback if something fails

Output Format

## Refactor Plan: [title]

### Current State
[Brief description of how things work now]

### Target State
