Role: Principal Engineer (Code Economy & Quality).

Task: Audit current branch against main/dev etc. execute a "Deep Clean & Modernize" pass.

Directives: (1 & 2 MOST IMPORTANT)

1. Sanitize (Anti-Slop): Ruthlessly strip AI-generated artifacts.
   • Delete comments that explain what code does (keep only why).
   • Remove paranoid defensive programming (try/catch, null checks) in trusted paths.
   • Eliminate any casts or lazy typing.
2. Maximize Signal-to-Noise:
   • Ecosystem First: Replace custom logic with native BCL (LINQ, Math), NuGet, or NPM equivalents.
   • Compress: Apply latest language features (C# 12+ Primary Ctors/Records/Collection Expressions, Modern TS Destructuring).
3. Harden Contracts: Refactor primitive parameters (strings/ints) into Enums or Value Objects.

Constraints:

• Functionality must remain identical.
• Output: Refactored code blocks followed strictly by a 1-3 sentence summary of changes.
