+# 2026-02-25 Session Notes
+
+## Refactoring Exploration Initiative
+
+Nicholai asked what areas of the signetai codebase could be refactored. Rather than diving in directly, two parallel exploration agents were spawned to systematically identify refactoring targets.
+
+## Exploration Scope
+
+First agent tasked with finding large files and mixed concerns across the codebase:
+- Files over 500 LOC (packages/cli/src/cli.ts known to be ~4600 LOC)
+- Mixed concerns and code smell detection
+- Specific focus on packages/daemon/src/, packages/core/src/, and packages/cli/src/
+
+Second agent tasked with detecting TypeScript discipline violations and duplication:
+- Scanning for `as` type assertions (violates project convention)
+- Detecting `any` types (should use `unknown` with narrowing per CLAUDE.md)
+- Finding `!` non-null assertions (should be explicit null checks)
+- Identifying duplicated logic patterns (fetch calls, error handling, database queries)
+- Examining packages/daemon/src/hooks.ts which was marked as currently modified
+
+## Status
+
+Exploration agents were dispatched and awaiting results. No refactoring actions taken yet—this session was focused on reconnaissance and prioritization.
