Remove AI Code Slop

Check the diff against the base branch and remove all AI-generated slop introduced in this branch.

What to remove

• Extra comments that a human wouldn't add or that are inconsistent with the rest of the file (no // loop through items, no # increment counter, no // Handle the error case).
• Extra defensive checks or try/catch blocks that are abnormal for that area of the codebase, especially when called from trusted/validated code paths.
• Casts to any (or as unknown as X) that exist purely to silence the type checker. If a type assertion is needed, use the narrowest correct type instead.
• Inline imports in Python — move to the top of the file alongside the other imports. Group with the appropriate import section (stdlib, third-party, local).
• Redundant type annotations where TypeScript inference handles it (e.g., const x: string = "hello" → const x = "hello").
• Unnecessary else after return, throw, continue, or break.
• Console.log / print statements left from debugging.
• Overly verbose variable names that don't match the file's naming convention (e.g., isCurrentlyLoadingDataFromServer when neighbors use loading).
• Any other style that's inconsistent with the file (string quote choice, brace style, trailing commas, etc.).

Process

1. Get the diff against the default branch:

   git diff $(gh repo view --json defaultBranchRef --jq '.defaultBranchRef.name')...HEAD
   

2. For each changed file, scan for the patterns above.
3. Remove identified slop while preserving legitimate changes.
4. Report a 1–3 sentence summary of what was changed.

Why

Code reviewers (human and bot) react badly to AI-generated noise: it looks lazy, hides intent, and inflates the diff. A clean diff gets merged faster.
