Conversation
A review-then-simplify pass targeted at the current diff: flag dead branches, unused imports, premature abstractions, speculative error handling, defensive copies, and comments that restate the code. For each finding, cite file:line, explain why it's dead weight, and propose the concrete removal. Constraints baked into the prompt: stay inside the diff, don't invent new abstractions, don't touch anything load-bearing that isn't obvious from reading — call it out instead.

Summary
Adds `/simplify` — runs a review-then-simplify pass on the current diff. Flags things the repo's house style calls dead weight:
For each, reports file:line + concrete fix. Stays inside the diff; doesn't invent abstractions; calls out anything load-bearing-but-non-obvious instead of touching it.
Why
Complements `/review` (which hunts for bugs/security issues) — this one hunts for code that shouldn't exist. Runs the same lens the house style doc prescribes ("Three similar lines is better than a premature abstraction", "Default to writing no comments", "Don't add error handling for scenarios that can't happen") so you don't have to rewrite the lens in every invocation.
