CodingRefactor code

Refactor a function for readability

Use when a working function is hard to read and you want a cleaner version without changing behavior.

The prompt
prompt.txt
Act as a meticulous code reviewer focused on readability and maintainability.

Refactor this {{language}} code so it is easier to read and maintain, WITHOUT changing its observable behavior.

{{code}}
```

Constraints:
- Keep the same public signature and return values unless you flag a concrete reason to change them.
- Prefer clear names, early returns, and small helpers over clever one-liners.
- Match idiomatic {{language}} style.
- Do not add new dependencies unless absolutely necessary.

Output:
1. The refactored code in a single block.
2. A short bullet list of what you changed and why.
3. Any behavior you were unsure about and assumptions you made.
