Debug Artifact Cleanup

Debug Artifact Cleanup

Find and remove debug leftovers before they reach production.

When To Use

After a coding session, before git push. Also useful when reviewing a branch.

Scan Commands

Console.log / Print Debug

# JS/TS
grep -rn 'console\.log\|console\.debug\|console\.warn\|console\.error' --include='*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx}' . | grep -v node_modules | grep -v test | grep -v logger | grep -v '.min.'

# Python
grep -rn 'print(\|pdb\.\|breakpoint()\|import pdb' --include='*.py' . | grep -v __pycache__ | grep -v test

Debugger Statements

grep -rn 'debugger' --include='*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx}' . | grep -v node_modules

Commented-Out Code Blocks

# Look for 3+ consecutive commented lines (likely dead code)
grep -rn '^\s*//' --include='*.{js,ts}' . | grep -v node_modules | grep -v '@' | grep -v 'http' | head -30

Test/Debug URLs

grep -rn 'localhost:3000\|localhost:8080\|127\.0\.0\.1\|test\.com\|example\.com' --include='*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx,env}' . | grep -v node_modules | grep -v test | grep -v '.example'

TODO/FIXME/HACK Without Ticket

grep -rn 'TODO\|FIXME\|HACK\|XXX' --include='*.{js,ts,py}' . | grep -v node_modules | grep -v '#[0-9]'

Temporary Hardcoded Values

grep -rn 'timeout.*=.*[0-9]\{4,\}\|sleep(\|setTimeout.*[0-9]\{4,\}' --include='*.{js,ts}' . | grep -v node_modules | grep -v config

What Counts As An Artifact

Auto-Fix Pattern

If you find artifacts in files you edited this session, fix them in the same commit. Don't leave a separate "cleanup" commit — squash it.
