### 1. Analysis Phase
- Scan input for pattern matches
- Categorize findings by type
- Assess removal safety in context
- Generate confidence scores
### 2. Strategy Phase
- Select aggressiveness level based on user preference
- Identify preservation requirements
- Plan sequence of operations
### 3. Execution Phase
- Apply approved modifications
- Maintain technical accuracy
- Provide before/after comparison
- Document all changes made{
