+## Decision\nWhen moving code to a new module location, do NOT add re-exports in the original file for backwards compatibility.\n\n## Rationale\nRe-exports (e.g. adding `from batters.models import BattingCardRatingsModel` in the old `calcs_batter.py`) create ongoing tech debt and obscure true import paths, making future refactoring harder.\n\n## Practice\nFind every call site and update the import directly to point to the new location.\n\n## Applied In (paper-dynasty/card-creation)\nAfter extracting to `batters/models.py` and `pitchers/models.py`, these files were updated:\n- `batters/card_builder.py` — updated import to `batters.models`\n- `pitchers/card_builder.py` — updated import to `pitchers.models`\n- `tests/test_batter_calcs.py` — updated `bp_singles`, `wh_singles` imports from `calcs_batter` → `batters.models`\n\n## Discovery tip\nA full-repo grep for the old module path (e.g. `from batters.calcs_batter import`) catches all call sites before you finalise the refactor.
