I wrote 731 comment lines on this branch against 4,530 lines of code — 14%,
where the rest of the repo runs at 1.8%. CLAUDE.md asks for code that reads
like its surroundings, and this did not.
Removed by genre rather than by taste:
- restating the code, e.g. "JS getUTCDay() numbering: Sunday = 0" above the
map that literally shows it, and a docblock on startOfWeek explaining that
it returns the start of the week;
- narrating history — "this used to rebuild the whole map", "left the bar
recording forever" — which the commit message and git blame already carry;
- saying the same thing in several places: the "cannot record is not a
denied microphone" reason appeared three times in one file, and the
"aborting stops a per-minute metered call" reason across three files. Each
now lives once, where the behaviour it explains lives;
- defending decisions nobody would question, like why toLatinDigits is its
own module;
- over-explaining defensive branches, three separate comments to distinguish
null from missing-kind from unrecognised-kind.
What stays is what the code cannot say: the patient-right convention in
toFdi, whose failure mode is a valid code for the wrong tooth; the
"this"-vs-"next" week anchoring; StrictMode re-arming mountedRef; Safari
accepting no mimeType hint; and the invariants whose violation already cost
a bug — the body parser's middleware ordering and the dispatch panel's
auto-fill rules.
Comments only. The diff contains no non-comment line.
