Redesign From First Principles
When integrating a change, don't bolt it onto the existing design. Redesign as if the requirement had been a foundational assumption from the start.
- Read all affected files and understand the current design
- Ask: if we were writing this from scratch with this new requirement, what would we build?
- Propagate the change through every reference: types, docs, examples, rationale sections
- Think about the whole redesign, then deliver it incrementally
This is the method for preserving option value when integrating changes into an existing design.
