LowFile-scopeJava Plug & play

Remove unused parameters and commented code

Delete dead/commented code and unused params; rely on version control for history.

Why this matters

Reduces noise and confusion for maintainers and tools.

Side-by-side examples engineers can pattern-match during review.

Avoid

void save(User u, boolean debug /* unused */) { /* ... */ }
// old logic below ...

Prefer

void save(User u) { /* ... */ }

Bad

// TODO remove later

Good

clean method signature

Critical
Avoid Duplicating String Literals
Store repeated string literals in constants or variables to improve maintainability and reduce redundancy.

Critical
Avoid Empty Methods
Detect methods that have an empty body. If a method is empty, ensure that a comment is present explaining why it remains unimplemented.

Critical
Avoid modifying built-in prototypes
Detect modifications to built-in prototypes. Modifying built-in objects can lead to compatibility issues and unexpected behavior. Recommend creating helper functions instead.
