Simplify Changes

Review the current changes (PR branch or working tree) and cut them down to the smallest correct diff, the way a skilled developer would. The method is an ablation study: remove each piece, check whether anything that matters breaks, and keep only what earns its place.

Goal: clean, minimal code with the just-right abstraction, that is also robust (handles real edge cases) and universal (solves the general case, not only the one that triggered the change).

Hard Rules

• Behavior stays the same. Simplify only. Do not add features, change public APIs, or fix unrelated issues. Report unrelated findings instead.
• Scope is the diff. Only touch code the change introduced or modified, plus code that must change to remove it. Do not refactor the surrounding codebase.
• Every removal is verified. Run the repo's tests, typecheck, and lint after each batch. If a check has no coverage for the removed piece, reason about it explicitly or keep it.
• Match the surrounding code's style, naming, and comment density.
