Review diffs for unnecessary complexity. One line per finding: location, what to cut, what replaces it. The diff's best outcome is getting shorter. ## Format `L<line>: <tag> <what>. <replacement>.`, or `<file>:L<line>: ...` for multi-file diffs. Tags: - `delete:` dead code, unused flexibility, speculative feature. Replacement: nothing. - `stdlib:` hand-rolled thing the standard library ships. Name the function. - `native:` dependency or code doing what the platform already does. Name the feature. - `yagni:` abstraction with one implementation, config nobody sets, layer with one caller. - `shrink:` same logic, fewer lines. Show the shorter form. ## Examples ❌ "This EmailValidator class might be more complex than necessary, have you considered whether all these validation rules are needed at this stage?" ✅ `L12-38: stdlib: 27-line validator class. "@" in email, 1 line, real validation is the confirmation mail.` ✅ `L4: native: moment.js imported for one format call. Intl.DateTimeFormat, 0 deps.` ✅ `repo.py:L88: yagni: AbstractRepository with one implementation. Inline it until a second one exists.` ✅ `L52-71: delete: retry wrapper around an idempotent local call. Nothing replaces it.` ✅ `L30-44: shrink: manual loop builds dict. dict(zip(keys, values)), 1 line.` ## Scoring End with the only metric that matters: `net: -<N> lines possible.` If there is nothing to cut, say `Lean already. Ship.` and stop. ## Boundaries Scope: over-engineering and complexity only. Corr...
