Deep code review and quality analysis for vm0 project
review <pr-id|commit-range|description>: review the identified change. For a
PR, follow REVIEW.md; it owns practice routing, evidence,
verdicts, and posting. For a commit range, apply the same relevant practices
and report findings to the caller without inventing a PR destination.cleanup [scope]: implement removal of redundant error handling in the
requested scope. The existing defensive-code-cleanup command routes here.Read code quality and select additional guidance from the documentation index. Searches identify candidates; inspect actual behavior before reporting a violation.
Search the requested source for catches that only log and rethrow, fabricate a generic success/empty result, or duplicate a framework-owned error response. For an unbounded cleanup request, select up to ten related, justified removals.
Before removing each catch, trace its caller and owning error boundary. Establish what the caller observes after removal and why the existing handler is redundant. Do not remove:
Apply fallback rules, deployment compatibility, and reference authority when those boundaries are involved. A catch containing only a log is not automatically redundant: verify whether it owns necessary diagnostics or rejection handling.
Remove unused imports and adjust callers only when the preserved contract
requires it. Keep async work attached to its owning cancellation signal;
detach() is not a replacement for error handling inside signals.
Show each finding or removal with its file, behavior, and evidence. Do not assign severity from a regex match or file length alone. Run checks for the changed scope and relevant consumers under project verification. Report remaining uncertainty explicitly. Create a PR when the caller requested one; a research or review request alone does not authorize implementation.
