Engine: extracted ResolveFitAndExpand helper, deduplicating resolve-fit-expand logic across Priority and ReversePriority paths in ActivateSequence and RecompileSequence (-33 lines)

#

Core: new D.NewSequenceFromTemplate() factory replacing 31-line manual field copy in HandleCreate

#

UI: centralized ResolveIcon, CreateScrollPanel, and ApplyBackdrop helpers in Util.lua, replacing duplicated patterns across 15 files (-100+ lines)

Repair and spell warnings2

Robustness: pcall-wrapped AceDB init, friend list iteration, and RestyleAceFrame; nil guards on locale fetch and spell validator module refs

#

Edge cases: field validation on raw tab apply, clamped defaultVersion, macro overflow indicator, type-safe icon handling in TrackerHUD, cross-version tooltip in ContextTab, scroll panel for 5+ spec keybind rows

#
Variables and recommendations1

Performance: dirty-flag sort cache, debounced step refresh, O(1) circular ring buffer for debug window, selective diff-based event registration in VariableStore, pre-computed strlower sort keys in SpellCache

#
Saving, naming and editing1

Leak prevention: callback unregistration on disable, ticker reference storage, tContains guards for UISpecialFrames, known-user pruning in Transmission

#
Macros, export, import and sharing1

UX polish: combat-unavailable save tooltip, keybind conflict detection with warning, ESC-cancels-capture hint, read-only indicator on raw tab, split unknown/known spell counts in import preview

#
Resets and modifiers1

Dead code removal: 57 unused locale keys, LMETA/RMETA modifier keys, click rate setting remnant in ADDON_LOADED

#
