🔄 UPDATED EXTRACTION STRATEGY: Hybrid Approach

Method A: Direct Extraction (Clean, Low-Risk Components)

Phase 2 - Documentation & Config (Next 4 micro-PRs):

• chore/add-git-message-template - .gitmessage.txt (1 file)
• docs/add-code-quality-guide - CODE_QUALITY_README.md (1 file)

• security/update-safety-config - .safety-project.ini (1 file)

Method B: Strategic Reimplementation (Complex Changes)

Phase 3 - Selective Value Recovery:

• 357 Python files: Analyze for 10-15 most valuable individual changes
• 43 deployment files: Identify critical infrastructure improvements
• Approach: Reimplement as clean, focused micro-PRs (NOT direct extraction)
• Skip: Mass formatting changes, tangled technical debt
