# Remove AI code slop Check the diff against main and remove AI-generated slop introduced in the branch. ## Focus Areas - Extra comments that are unnecessary or inconsistent with local style - Defensive checks or try/catch blocks that are abnormal for trusted code paths - 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 behavior unchanged unless fixing a clear bug. - Prefer minimal, focused edits over broad rewrites. - Keep the final summary concise (1-3 sentences).
