New Feature: Optibot Now Finds Dead Code and Code Quality Issues

Summary

Optibot now identifies structural issues and maintenance risks beyond functional bugs, specifically targeting the "bloat" often introduced by AI-generated code.

New Features

  • Dead Code Detection: Automatically identifies and flags unused variables, unreachable functions, and orphaned components to keep the codebase lean.
  • AI Quality Guard: Detects "AI bloat" redundant logic and unnecessary complexity common in LLM-generated code and suggests simplified alternatives.
  • Critical Quality Insights: Flags architectural and maintainability issues that lead to technical debt before they reach production.

Under the Hood

  • Refined Analysis Engine: Improved logic to better differentiate between necessary complexity and genuine code bloat.
  • Scanning Efficiency: Optimized performance to ensure quality checks don't increase PR review latency.
