Review the changes just made and identify simplification opportunities. 2. Apply refactors to: - Remove dead code and dead paths. - Straighten logic flows. - Remove excessive parameters. - Remove premature optimization. 3. Run build/tests to verify behavior. 4. Identify optional abstractions or reusable patterns; only suggest them if they clearly improve clarity and keep suggestions brief. --- > Converted and distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io/claim/chriskjaer) — claim your Tome and manage your conversions.
