Code Simplify

Objective

Simplify code while preserving behavior, public contracts, and side effects. Run a full simplification pass by default: apply high-confidence simplifications that materially improve comprehension or reduce defect risk, including naming/intent cleanup when safe.

Arguments

• Paths, patterns, a commit/range, or a scope phrase: used in Scope Resolution step 2.
• --no-report: Skip the full user-facing report and return terse working notes for the caller.
• --no-verify: Skip verification because a parent orchestrator will verify the final result separately.
• Default: perform the full simplification pass, verify touched behavior, and present the full report.

Scope Resolution

Resolve scope once, then treat the result as fixed for the rest of the run.
