Adding few bits regarding code refractoring.
You can you 2 tools that are easily available in Intelij Idea 1. Idea's inbuilt code analysis. 2. Another is SonarLint Caveats included There are some suggestions that may not follow fineract coding conventions. Or may cause regressions To detect them early you can run GitHub Actions on your local fork. So that you can double sure that your not breaking anything.
