Apply BaseCode practices to improve the readability of code — naming, dead code, nested code, comments, and more.
Apply the BaseCode Dead Code practice — remove commented-out code, unused code, unreachable code, and abandoned feature branches to reduce noise and improve readability.
Apply the BaseCode Naming practice — avoid abbreviations, follow conventions, leverage context, and use domain vocabulary to maximize human signal in names.
Apply the BaseCode Nested Code practice — flatten structure using guard clauses, conditional boolean returns, and higher-order functions to bring the primary action to the top level.

Apply the BaseCode Removing Comments practice to improve the readability of the code under review. The goal is not shorter code or personal style — it is readability: making the code easier for the next human to read.
Every inline comment is a cost to the reader. Remove comments that do not earn their place.
Remove what-comments — any comment that only restates what the next line of code does should be deleted. If the code cannot explain itself, improve the code (rename, extract a method, restructure) rather than add a comment.
Remove how-comments — comments explaining implementation details indicate an opportunity to extract a well-named method or improve naming so the intent is self-evident.
Improve names, then remove the comment — when a comment describes a variable's purpose, use that description as the variable's name and delete the comment.
Keep why-comments — a comment explaining a non-obvious constraint, a workaround, a hidden business rule, or the reason a specific API endpoint was chosen over another has earned its place. Rewrite it in clear English if it is vague or grammatically incorrect.
Apply proximity — move a variable declaration close to where it is first used so the reader does not need a comment to maintain context.
