How I Use Unspent Tokens

Built continuous-refactoring for simple, incremental refactoring with a loop that validates changes through tests before keeping them.
Addresses accumulated low-priority cleanup tasks (e.g., dead branches, outdated names, complex tests) that degrade repo quality but aren't urgent enough for dedicated sprints.
Uses test suite as guardrails to allow small, safe changes, ideal for using expiring model credits on janitorial tasks like simplification or deletion.
Introduced taste.md files to customize refactoring preferences, with versions and upgrade paths (e.g., taste --upgrade, taste --interview, taste --refine) to avoid discarding existing settings.
Added a routing step to handle larger refactors via a migrations workflow with planning, phased execution, wake-up rules, and human review to prevent endless looping on unready tasks.
Kept the original one-shot cleanup loop intact, with migrations opt-in (init --live-migrations-dir) to preserve simplicity while expanding capabilities.
Developed iteratively from a basic cleanup tool to include taste management and larger refactoring support, focusing on continuous improvement over one-time impressive changes.
Aims to make repo tidiness a background habit, converting expiring credits into maintenance work instead of letting them go unused.
