refactor as part of "taking safe verifiable brain-sized baby steps to code the feature" (aka tdd). or refactor outside of tdd: sprinkled in during test-first or even edit-n-pray if you must; and or as tidying before and after the feature is done ...long as you do it.

bare minimum and just enough and leave well enough alone are all fine. but what's the standard? cus we have the option to go less defense and more offense, less reactive, more design and adventure.
