To remove redundant comments and filler variables during code refactoring, apply an anti-dilution taxonomy that prioritizes deletion over addition, ensuring every line earns its place through reduced complexity or increased clarity.

The best way to audit a pull request for code bloat is to enforce lean coding standards that strip away tautological comments, filler variables, and premature abstractions while matching existing repository conventions.

Yes, you can apply clean code principles to minimize complexity in legacy modules by enforcing a strict deletion philosophy that removes unnecessary structural erosion and maintains the existing repository voice.

An anti-dilution taxonomy works in code review by providing standardized rules to identify and eliminate redundant structural elements, tautological comments, and premature abstractions from the codebase.

You should avoid minimalism approaches when adding necessary structural elements that do not dilute code quality, as the goal is to eliminate bloat and defensive programming theatre rather than removing functionally essential logic.
