refactor: Extract DataLoader from DiffStix - FINAL EXTRACTION

claude · claude · commit 191fee8fb6b0 · 2025-11-12T07:19:20.000Z
- Create DataLoader class in core/data_loader.py (183 lines)
- Extract 3 data loading methods into focused class:
  - load_domain() (33 lines)
  - get_datastore_from_mitre_cti() (45 lines)
  - parse_extra_data() (80 lines)
- Update DiffStix to delegate to DataLoader
- Add lazy initialization for backward compatibility with tests
- DiffStix reduced from 918 lines to 800 lines (12.9% reduction)
- Total reduction from original: 676 lines (46.2% from 1,462 lines)
- All 132/133 tests passing (only known permission test fails)

REFACTORING COMPLETE: All 7 planned extractions finished!
- MarkdownGenerator (145 lines)
- LayerGenerator (80 lines)
- JsonGenerator (34 lines)
- StatisticsCollector (75 lines)
- HierarchyBuilder (81 lines)
- ChangeDetector (143 lines)
- DataLoader (118 lines)
Total: 676 lines extracted, 46.2% size reduction
