chore: remove LLM-slop comments across the codebase#1277
Merged
Conversation
Remove comments that merely restate what the adjacent code already says — step-narration, section-divider banners, and `//`/`///`/JSDoc lines that paraphrase the next statement or the function's own name. Useful WHY comments (rationale, invariants, gotchas, SAFETY notes, substantive TODO/FIXME, doc comments documenting real API semantics) are kept. Comment deletions only. Zero functional changes: no code edited, no formatting churn, no imports reordered. `cargo check --workspace` passes. 212 files, 2048 lines removed (all comment or now-redundant blank lines). Lanes were partitioned by path across the team so no file had two writers.

Removing standalone comment lines left orphaned double-blank-line runs (\n\n\n) that cargo fmt and biome flag. Collapse them to satisfy fmt/lint. Blank-line-only changes: 104 files, 854 deletions, 0 insertions, no code reflow or reorder. Co-authored-by: Tyler Longwell <tlongwell@block.xyz> Signed-off-by: Tyler Longwell <tlongwell@block.xyz>

What
Removes LLM-slop comments across the entire codebase — comments that merely restate what the adjacent code already says. Comment deletions only. Zero functional changes.
// First, ... // Then, ...), section-divider banners (// ── Foo ──), and/////// JSDoc / JSX comments that paraphrase the next statement or the function's own name.SAFETY:blocks, substantiveTODO/FIXME, and doc comments that document real API semantics.How to review
This is intentionally huge but mechanically narrow. Every changed line is a removal, and every removed line is a comment or a now-redundant blank that followed a removed comment. To confirm:
Verification
git diff: 0 added lines; every removed line is a comment marker (//,/* */,///,//!,{/* */},#) or blank. Zero non-comment removals.cargo check --workspace: passes.--no-verifydeliberately: the pre-commit/pre-push hooks runcargo fmt+biome --write, which would introduce formatting churn outside the comment scope. Keeping the diff purely comment-only was the explicit goal. CI will validate fmt/lint independently.Not in this PR
Dead/unused code spotted during the pass was reported, not touched — keeping this PR reviewable as a pure comment change.
