Scan recently changed files (git diff --name-only HEAD~5) for:
1. Duplicated logic — consolidate into shared utility
2. Dead code — unused imports/exports/functions (grep to verify before removing)
3. Magic numbers/strings — extract to named constants
4. Nested conditionals >3 levels — refactor with early returns
5. TODO/FIXME — list but don't auto-fix without asking
 
For each finding: file:line, category, description, proposed fix
Ask before applying fixes that touch >3 files.
After fixes: run the project's type checker or linter to confirm no regressions.
