Rules:

- any file over `500` lines must be split or rewritten before the task is considered complete
- any file over `400` lines must be split or rewritten before the task is considered complete
- if a file is close to the limit, prefer extracting a dedicated sub-file before adding more content
- keep index files short and route detail to sub-files
