Refactor: Dedupe and Cleanup
Eliminate redundancy and remove dead code.
Deduplication Patterns
1. Extract Common Method
Move duplicated logic to shared function.
2. Template Method Pattern
Abstract common structure, vary details.
3. Consolidate Conditional Expression
Combine conditions with same result.
Dead Code Removal
Types to Remove
- Unreachable code - after return/throw
- Unused variables - declared but never read
- Unused functions - never called
- Commented code - use git history instead
- Unused imports - clutters namespace
Safe Removal Process
- Search for all references
- Check for reflection/dynamic usage
- Remove in small commits
- Run full test suite
