polish

Remove AI slop and lint errors from branch. Autonomous, no confirmation.

Critical Rules

1. ONLY remove slop — No refactoring, no "improvements"
2. ONLY fix lint/type errors — Not style preferences
3. NEVER change logic — Even if "better" way exists
4. NEVER touch unrelated code — Only files in branch diff
5. BATCH processing — Don't read all files at once, process in groups

Slop Reference

Remove	Keep
WHAT comments (// increment counter)	WHY comments
as any type bypasses	Legitimate assertions with reason
Defensive try/catch in internal code	Error handling at API boundaries
Null checks for non-nullable types	Boundary validation
Console.logs added for debugging	Intentional logging

Skip if uncertain. When in doubt, leave it.

Workflow

Step 0: Get Changed Files + Create TODO

git diff main...HEAD --name-only

Group files by directory/feature area. Create TODO list:

• One item per group (2-4 related files)
• Mark first group as in_progress

──────────

Step 1: Process Each Group

For current group:

1. Read diffs only (not full files):

   git diff main...HEAD -- path/to/file1 path/to/file2

2. Apply fixes — Remove slop, fix lint errors

3. Mark group complete — Move to next

Repeat until all groups done.

──────────

Step 2: Final Lint Check

Run project's lint command on changed files only.

Fix remaining errors in scope.

Step 3: Summary

Polished X files:
- [file]: removed Y comments, fixed Z lint errors
- [file]: removed `as any`

If nothing to polish: "Branch is clean."
