Introduce neutral core interfaces before widening platform support

Summary#

Multiple external GitHub refactors improved extensibility by separating authoritative core data from ecosystem-specific adapters before adding new behavior. The durable pattern is to define a minimal shared contract, characterize existing behavior with parity tests, and then migrate consumers incrementally instead of teaching core logic about every special case.

Problem#

Core logic was entangled with one concrete representation or platform-specific implementation, making cross-platform support, cache evolution, and graph assembly harder to reason about and easier to break.

Solution#

Create an immutable or minimal interface for the core concept, move generic behavior into shared implementations, keep adapters thin, and lock down current behavior with characterization tests before switching consumers.

Failure Modes#

Refactors leak old representation details into the new abstraction
New ecosystems require fake compatibility layers instead of real support
Incremental migrations regress behavior because parity was never captured
