deslop

# deslop: restore the no-slop invariant, preserve behavior Restore the invariant that production code has no debug leftovers, placeholder bodies, swallowed errors, hardcoded credentials, or formatter noise. Classify every finding by certainty; apply only HIGH-certainty mechanical fixes; MEDIUM and LOW are report-only unless the user explicitly asks for a separate manual refactor. The detailed pattern catalog lives in `references/slop-catalog.md`, indexed by behavioral category; within a category, rows are keyed by language, or by `Any` where the signal is language-independent. Load it when choosing an exact pattern recipe for a language, or when deciding whether a finding is fixable. Skip it when you are only classifying certainty or picking an autofix strategy — the contract and strategy vocabulary below are complete on their own. ## When to Apply / NOT Apply when the request names AI slop, debug-code cleanup, placeholder/stub cleanup, empty error handlers, hardcoded secrets, dead code, or a pre-PR hygiene sweep. Do **not** apply for broad architecture simplification, ordinary lint formatting, security audit beyond hardcoded credential patterns, or behavior-changing cleanup. Do not use this to justify deleting code whose purpose is unclear. ## Certainty Contract | Level | Source | Action | |---|---|---| | **HIGH** | Deterministic regex/AST match in non-test, non-fixture, non-generated code | Eligible for mechanical fix, then repo tests | | **MEDIUM** | Reasoned struct...
