[lint-monster] [Code Quality] Shared function-length refactoring backlog for pkg/workflow and pkg/cli (677 findings)

[github-actions]

Shared backlog: function-length refactoring

Current make golint-custom run reports 677 long-function findings across the shared pkg/workflow + pkg/cli backlog. Per the LintMonster grouping rule, treat these findings as one authoritative tracking topic instead of separate workflow/cli slices.

Current count

• 677 total findings in the shared backlog
• Affected path prefixes: pkg/workflow/, pkg/cli/

Representative diagnostics

• pkg/workflow/maintenance_workflow_yaml.go: buildMaintenanceWorkflowYAML is 961 lines
• pkg/workflow/frontmatter_on_section_cleanup.go: commentOutProcessedFieldsInOnSection is 697 lines
• pkg/workflow/side_repo_maintenance.go: generateSideRepoMaintenanceWorkflow is 447 lines
• pkg/cli/run_workflow_execution.go: RunWorkflowOnGitHub is 438 lines
• pkg/workflow/mcp_config_custom.go: renderSharedMCPConfig is 428 lines
• pkg/workflow/repo_memory.go: extractRepoMemoryConfig is 415 lines
• pkg/workflow/engine.go: ExtractEngineConfig is 410 lines
• pkg/cli/logs_command.go: NewLogsCommand is 376 lines

Expected outcome

Reduce the shared function-length backlog by extracting small helpers and focused files while preserving behavior.

Next refactoring slices

• Maintenance/compiler YAML generators (pkg/workflow/maintenance_workflow_yaml.go, pkg/workflow/compiler_yaml*.go)
• Frontmatter cleanup and config extraction hotspots (pkg/workflow/frontmatter_on_section_cleanup.go, pkg/workflow/*config*.go)
• Engine and MCP config renderers (pkg/workflow/engine.go, pkg/workflow/mcp_config_custom.go, pkg/workflow/*engine*.go)
• CLI execution/logging hotspots (pkg/cli/run_workflow_execution.go, pkg/cli/logs_command.go, nearby orchestration helpers)
• Shared parsing/rendering helpers directly supporting the above files

Remediation checklist

• Keep remediation scoped to the selected slice only
• Prefer minimal, targeted helper extraction and small file splits
• Preserve behavior, output, and public interfaces unless a tiny internal change is safer
• Validate with make golint-custom

Fused skill guidance

• Validate fixes by running make golint-custom
• Keep remediation scoped to findings in the assigned lint group
• Prefer minimal, targeted code edits
