# File Size Decision Tree
## File Size Decision Tree
When a file exceeds 400 lines:
```
Is it a God Object (does many unrelated things)?
YES → Split by responsibility (see Decomposition Patterns below)
NO → Is it a report generator / long output formatter?
YES → Extract: data-gathering logic → separate module
formatting/rendering → reporter.py / formatter.py
NO → Is it a data model / schema file?
YES → Acceptable if types are coherent; add __all__
NO → Is it a legacy solver (low churn, full tests)?
YES → Add # noqa: clean-code; open WRK for future split
NO → Split now
```

mnt-analysis-cleanup
Survey, classify, and clean up `/mnt/local-analysis/` (or any sibling-to-workspace-hub directory holding orphan worktrees, codex-burn artifacts, agent log accumulations, and outer-clone duplicates) without losing useful code/work.
