desloplisted

# deslop — correct slop invariant, preserve behavior Run a `correct` op-cell: 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`. Load it when choosing exact pattern recipes or deciding whether a finding is fixable. ## 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 structural signal or codegraph/context signal | Report only; cite evidence; no auto-fix | | **LOW** | Optional external CLI heuristic, if tool already exists | Report only; no install; no auto-fix | Certainty is not severity. A hardcoded token is HIGH certainty and high severity, but still us
