Simplify

Run a focused cleanup pass on the changed code.

Goal

Improve the result without changing intended behavior.

Review for

1. Reuse missed existing helpers or utilities.
2. Duplicate logic that should be merged.
3. Extra state, plumbing, or parameters that are not needed.
4. Broad scans/reads/work when a narrower operation would do.
5. Comments that narrate obvious code instead of documenting a real constraint.
6. Repeated no-op updates or needless churn in hot paths.

Workflow

1. Inspect the changed files or diff first.
2. Find the highest-value simplifications.
3. Apply only changes that clearly improve maintainability or efficiency.
4. Re-run the relevant tests if behavior could be affected.

Output

Briefly summarize what you simplified, or state that the code was already appropriately minimal.
