rc-deslop

Remove AI code slop

Check the diff against main and remove AI-generated slop introduced in the branch. This edits; it is the cheap sweep that runs before every commit. rc-simplify-review is the expensive read-only counterpart that reports on over-engineering — reach for that one when the question is "did this need to exist?", not "is this written like a human wrote it?". Keep behavior unchanged unless fixing a clear bug, and prefer minimal, focused edits over broad rewrites.

Focus Areas

• Extra comments that are unnecessary or inconsistent with local style — this repo's convention is no comments in code; keep only pre-existing ones that already match the surrounding file. Never strip a comment that states a constraint the code cannot show (a safety invariant, a workaround with its reason, a ponytail: marker naming a deliberate ceiling).
• Defensive checks or try/catch blocks that are abnormal for trusted code paths. Never remove input validation at a trust boundary, error handling that prevents data loss, or a security control — those are not slop, however defensive they read.
• Casts to any used 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 the final summary concise (1-3 sentences).
