Implementation Plan: AppController Curation

Phase 1: Structural Audit & Conventions Update

• Task: Audit src/app_controller.py against gui_2.py organization and the Python Style Guide. [checkpoint: audit_complete]
• [~] Task: Identify methods for extraction to module level (Anti-OOP enforcement).
• Task: Update conductor/code_styleguides/python.md or product-guidelines.md if any new nuances are discovered in gui_2.py.
• Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Phase 1: Structural Audit' (Protocol in workflow.md)

Phase 2: Refactoring & Curation

• Task: Apply 1-space indentation and remove excessive blank lines in src/app_controller.py.
• Task: Clean up and organize AppController.__init__ state declarations.
• Task: Implement missing type hints and SDM tags.
• Task: Extract identified logic to module-level functions.
• Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Phase 2: Refactoring & Curation' (Protocol in workflow.md)

Phase 3: Validation & Regression Testing

• Task: Run the full test suite in batches of 4 files per test run.
• Task: Fix any regressions or type errors discovered during testing.
• Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Phase 3: Validation & Regression Testing' (Protocol in workflow.md)
