Code Simplification

Review the specified code (or recent changes) for unnecessary complexity and simplify it.

What to look for

1. Over-abstraction — helpers, utilities, or wrapper functions used only once. Inline them.
2. Unnecessary indirection — callback chains, event buses, or service layers that just pass data through.
3. Defensive overkill — error handling for impossible cases, null checks deep inside trusted internal code.
4. Dead code — unused imports, unreachable branches, commented-out blocks, unused variables.
5. Complex conditionals — nested if/else that could be early returns, switch statements that could be lookups.
6. Premature generalization — config objects for one use case, plugin systems with one plugin, factory patterns for one type.
7. Redundant comments — comments that restate the code instead of explaining why.
