Remove AI code slop

Check the diff against the default branch and remove all AI-generated slop introduced in this branch.

Workflow

Step 1: Decide the base branch

Pick the most appropriate base ref in this order:

1. origin/main (if it exists)
2. origin/master (if it exists)
3. main (local)
4. master (local)

Use a base like <base> in the rest of the steps.

Step 2: Inspect the diff

• View the file list:
  • git diff --name-only <base>...HEAD
• View the full diff:
  • git diff <base>...HEAD

Step 3: Remove AI-generated slop

Edit the changed files to remove slop while preserving intended behavior.

This includes:

• Extra comments that a human wouldn't add or is inconsistent with the rest of the file
• Extra defensive checks or try/catch blocks that are abnormal for that area of the codebase (especially if called by trusted / validated codepaths)
• Unnecessary indirection/wrappers, over-abstraction, or noisy helper functions introduced without clear value
• Any other style that is inconsistent with the file or project conventions

Guidelines:

• Keep the change scope minimal: only touch what is necessary to remove slop.
• Do not rewrite or reformat code unless required for the cleanup.
• Prefer deleting unnecessary code over adding new abstractions.
• If uncertain about intent, infer it from surrounding code and keep behavior compatible.

Step 4: Final report

Report at the end with only a 1-3 sentence summary of what you changed.
