Code Simplification

Behavior-preserving simplification pass on code that already works. Distinct from design-smell-review (structural critique before change) and refactor-legacy-python-pr (scoped legacy cleanup PRs).

When to use

• Feature is done and tested; complexity exceeds need
• Review feedback says "over-engineered"
• Preparing a focused hygiene PR

When not to use

• Bug is still open (fix behavior first)
• Large architectural rewrite (use incremental-implementation)
• No tests and behavior is unclear (add tests or spike first)
