Dispatch the refactorer executor — behavior-preserving norm application is
closed execution, so it runs pinned on **sonnet** (not the big session
model). The scope you name is the only reflection; the agent applies norms.

```
Agent(subagent_type="refactorer")
prompt: "Refactor to strict project norms, preserving external behavior
exactly (zero behavioral regression, existing tests must pass). Target:
$ARGUMENTS"
```

If the refactorer agent is unavailable, emit `Refactorer agent missing.` and
STOP — never improvise, silent behavior change is unsafe.

🔴 **No-tests gate**: when the agent returns `TESTS PRESENT: no` and stopped
(its contract on a test-less target), do NOT re-dispatch on your own. Surface
its PRE-REPORT and ask the user: add tests first / proceed anyway / abort.
Only an explicit "proceed" re-dispatches with the `GO-WITHOUT-TESTS` token —
behavior preservation is unverifiable on that path and the user owns that risk.
