If it’s adding that many lines, it’s not refactoring. It’s just adding slop.

Yeah, adding that many lines does not sound like a cleanup to me. Unless it’s mostly adding unit tests.

The best refactors always remove more lines than they add. This is a horrifying ratio if no new features were included.

I would think that modularizing a big block of code would have to add more lines, would it not?

It’s like “fuck this codebase, we delete everything and start over”.
