A refactor usually improves code quality.
But it often removes valuable context.
Old assumptions disappear.
Design discussions are forgotten.
Trade-offs become invisible.
Weeks later, developers encounter a clean codebase with no explanation of how it arrived there.
Contorium explores a different idea:
Keep the code clean, but preserve the evolution behind it.
Not as documents people forget to update, but as structured project knowledge generated alongside development.
Because understanding a project shouldn’t depend on finding the one teammate who still remembers its history.
