[lint-monster] Function-length refactoring backlog: 114 functions exceed 60-line limit

[github-actions]

Daily Lint Remediation

Custom linter identified 114 functions that exceed the 60-line length limit across the codebase.

Distribution

• pkg/workflow/ (70+ functions): Largest concentration

  • compiler_main_job.go: buildMainJob (401 lines) — critical refactor target
  • copilot_engine_execution.go: GetExecutionSteps (643 lines) — largest function
  • compiler_safe_outputs_job.go: Multiple 200+ line functions
  • Other: claude_engine, codex_engine, cache, checkout, compiler utilities

• pkg/cli/ (25+ functions)

  • Various audit, compile, and command processing functions

• pkg/parser/ (5+ functions)

  • Schema suggestions, field extraction utilities

Top Priority Refactor Targets

1. copilot_engine_execution.go:GetExecutionSteps (643 lines)

   • Primary candidate for breaking into 10+ smaller functions
   • Handles multiple distinct tool expansion and processing phases

2. compiler_main_job.go:buildMainJob (401 lines)

   • Can be split into logical job-building phases

3. compiler_safe_outputs_job.go (multiple 200+ line functions)

   • buildSafeOutputsJobFromParts (229 lines)
   • buildSafeOutputsHandlerOutputsAndActionSteps (220 lines)
   • buildSafeOutputsSetupAndDownloadSteps (87 lines)

Remediation Strategy

• Extract logical sub-phases into separate functions
• Maintain original behavior and test coverage
• Use consistent naming conventions (verb_noun pattern)
• Prioritize functions by line count and complexity

Current Status

This is a shared backlog issue consolidating all function-length findings. Track overall progress here rather than opening per-function sub-issues.

Current finding count: 114 functions
