Code Simplify

Objective

Simplify code while preserving behavior, public contracts, and side effects. Favor explicit code and local clarity over clever or compressed constructs.

Scope Resolution

1. Verify repository context: git rev-parse --git-dir. If this fails, stop and tell the user to run from a git repository.
2. If user provides file paths/patterns or a commit/range, scope is exactly those targets.
3. Otherwise, scope is only session-modified files. Do not include other uncommitted changes.
4. If there are no session-modified files, fall back to all uncommitted tracked + untracked files:
   • tracked: git diff --name-only --diff-filter=ACMR
   • untracked: git ls-files --others --exclude-standard
   • combine both lists and de-duplicate.
5. Exclude generated/low-signal files unless requested: lockfiles, minified bundles, build outputs, vendored code.
6. If scope still resolves to zero files, report and stop.
