clean-transient-comments

Remove comments that read like commit messages or dev notes about refactors.

Detection Heuristics

Flag comments that:

• Use past tense or temporal words ("now", "was", "used to", "moved", "changed", "updated", "fixed")
• Reference where code came from or went ("moved to X", "extracted from Y")
• Explain that something changed rather than why it exists

Examples to remove:

• // This is now done via mixin
• // Moved to ItemFunctions.java
• // Updated to use new API

Preserve

• WHY explanations (rationale, edge cases, warnings)
• TODO/FIXME with ongoing relevance
• Ticket/issue references
• Domain logic documentation

Process

Phase 1: Scan

Scan provided paths, or default to src/, lib/, and common source files.

Phase 2: Report

List files, specific comments planned for removal with context, and rationale.

Wait for approval before removing.

Phase 3: Remove

After approval, delete flagged comments. Preserve all code structure and formatting.
