Cleanup
Structured cleanup and modernization workflow.
Input
Scope: $ARGUMENTS
Goals
- Remove duplication and ambiguous ownership
- Investigate code smells instead of suppressing them
- Improve typed boundaries and reduce escape hatches
- Modernize only within the project's compatibility lane
- Preserve behavior unless explicitly changing it
Steps
1. Static Analysis
bash
# Format
uv run ruff format $ARGUMENTS
# Auto-fix linting
uv run ruff check --fix $ARGUMENTS
uv run ruff check --fix --unsafe-fixes $ARGUMENTS
# Type check
uv run ty check $ARGUMENTS
# If project runs mypy: uv run mypy $ARGUMENTS
2. Smell Investigation
For each smell found:
- Identify the root cause (not just the symptom)
- Determine if it's a design smell or a quick fix
- Document the investigation and decision
3. Type Boundary Hardening
- Inventory all
Anyusage - Move boundary code to dedicated modules
- Add typed wrappers where raw data crosses boundaries
- Run typing policy checks
4. Modernization (within project lane)
- Modernize typing imports only if Python floor supports it
- Apply match-case where it reduces complexity
- Use walrus operator where it improves readability
- Only within the project's
requires-pythonconstraint
5. Verification
bash
uv run ruff check $ARGUMENTS
uv run ruff format --check $ARGUMENTS
uv run ty check $ARGUMENTS
uv run pytest $ARGUMENTS -v
