Task Plan: Code Review and Quality Fixes

Goal

Audit the current Go library across style, performance, readability, and usability, then apply small verified fixes that improve code health without changing public behavior unexpectedly.

Phases

• Phase 1: Plan and setup
• Phase 2: Repository review and quality gate baseline
• Phase 3: Record findings and prioritize fixes
• Phase 4: Implement focused fixes with tests
• Phase 5: Verify and deliver final report

Key Questions

1. Which issues are correctness or usability risks versus optional style concerns?
2. Which fixes can be made safely with small, reversible diffs?
3. What tests or tooling prove behavior remains intact?

Decisions Made

• Use planning-with-files as the requested plan-with-files workflow; keep this audit separate from the existing task_plan.md phase plan to avoid overwriting prior work.
• Default to small, behavior-preserving fixes; avoid new dependencies.

Errors Encountered

• Standalone staticcheck install via mise failed because GitHub/Go module downloads timed out or were blocked by network/proxy connectivity; used existing mise-managed golangci-lint, which includes staticcheck, and fixed all reported issues.
• golangci-lint initially reported 19 issues; final run reports 0 issues.

Status

Complete - Audit, fixes, and verification finished.
