Action Design Reviews

After several rounds of refactoring, I thought it was a good time to pause, create design documents for the Claude generated code in each action (there are 45), then have Claude write professional developer reviews of each design.

Needless to say this has revealed that many of the implementations are sound, but some are deeply flawed. One of the challenges of large refactors is that Claude will randomly skip things in a checklist, so some refactors remain incomplete or even unimplemented.

Some of the reviews have ratings as low as 2 (1-10 scale) but a third are 9+ which means we have the right framework for action logic, but some actions aren't fully implementing that framework.

I'm forcing Claude to redo all of the action logic to meet an 8+ rating based on a list of professional developer measurements and IF platform behavior expectations.

So this isn't so much a refactor, but a tech debt run through Sharpee.
