- 02Remove unnecessary comments
- 03Flag unusual defensive checks
- 04Identify casts to any
- 05Simplify nested control flow

Details
From the project READMERemove AI code slop
Check the diff against main and remove AI-generated slop introduced in the branch.
Focus Areas
- Extra comments that are unnecessary or inconsistent with local style
- Defensive checks or try/catch blocks that are abnormal for trusted code paths
- Casts to
anyused only to bypass type issues - Deeply nested code that should be simplified with early returns
- Other patterns inconsistent with the file and surrounding codebase
Guardrails
- Keep behavior unchanged unless fixing a clear bug.
- Prefer minimal, focused edits over broad rewrites.
- Keep the final summary concise (1-3 sentences).
