A six-agent anti-slop audit over all Go, shell, Python, and markdown, then the low-risk fixes applied.

Code (refactor:)

  • Extract shared helpers: resolveTargets (apply.go), snapshotCmd (qmp.go), progressNum (progressbar.go).
  • Delete joinSpace; commandPath uses strings.Join.
  • LocalImages returns an error instead of swallowing a non-ENOENT isos/ read. Propagated to Images and pruneImages; the TUI picker's stale comment updated.
  • Trim InstallData's misplaced Install docstring.
  • Drop narrator comments that restated the command below them (recipe installers, scaffold.go, image.go, test_guards.py).

Docs (docs:)

  • Remove contrast constructions and the load-bearing/additionally/crucially vocabulary across 13 files.
  • Convert the recipe-fixes spec headings to sentence case.

Verification

gofmt clean, go build ./..., go vet ./..., go test ./... all green.

Held back

The two structural shell dedups (xfce systemd-autologin block, the wait_for loop copy-pasted across ten installer scripts) stay untouched. Those bundled scripts have no live-boot coverage yet; restructuring them into sourced helpers before the per-distro boots trades a comment nit for boot risk. Do them after the boots land.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation

    • Clarified authentication fallback, VM modes, networking, image management, JSON output, pruning, troubleshooting, and live VM behavior.
    • Improved guidance for recipe authoring, data layout, API design, and command-line usage.
    • Standardized headings and simplified wording across design and specification documents.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Image discovery errors are now reported instead of being silently treated as empty results.
    • Dry runs and executions now consistently validate and select recipe targets.
  • Improvements

    • Progress indicators use consistent formatting.
    • Snapshot operations and command handling are more consistent without changing expected behavior.

Anti-slop code pass. Extract resolveTargets (apply.go), snapshotCmd (qmp.go),
progressNum (progressbar.go); delete joinSpace for strings.Join. LocalImages
now returns an error instead of swallowing a non-ENOENT isos/ read, propagated
to Images and pruneImages. Trim InstallData's misplaced Install docstring and
the recipe-installer comments that restated the command below them.
Anti-slop prose pass across 13 docs. Remove contrast constructions, drop
load-bearing/additionally/crucially, convert the recipe-fixes spec headings to
sentence case.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The pull request revises project documentation and design specifications. It also centralizes recipe, image, QMP, CLI, and TUI logic while improving error propagation and removing stale comments.

Changes

Documentation and design

Layer / File(s) Summary
User-facing documentation wording
docs/README.md, docs/concepts/*, docs/reference/*, docs/troubleshooting.md
Clarifies access, VM modes, data layout, CLI behavior, JSON errors, and troubleshooting guidance.
Design and specification wording
docs/design/*, docs/recipe-authoring-spec.md, docs/specs/*
Clarifies design requirements and normalizes specification wording and heading capitalization.

Internal implementation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Core error handling and shared operations
internal/cli/cli.go, internal/core/*, internal/qemu/qmp.go
Shares recipe target resolution, propagates local image errors, centralizes snapshot commands, and uses strings.Join.
TUI and supporting cleanup
internal/tui/*, internal/recipes/*, internal/recipes/scaffold.go, mcp/tests/test_guards.py
Shares progress formatting, reuses SSH availability state, and updates comments without changing recipe or test behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 7b303

The PR’s code and documentation cleanup is merge-ready after normal checks; only minor wording corrections remain, with no actionable merge-blocking risk.

Poem

A rabbit checks the recipes bright,
And trims old comments out of sight.
Images now report errors true,
While QMP steps share a path anew.
The docs stand clear from root to roof.

Correct the RateLimiter explanation.

RateLimiter.__init__ rejects refill_per_second <= 0 with ValueError, so 0.0 never reaches the division in check. Update the surrounding comment to describe the constructor validation and retain the valid reason for using 1e-9.

Proposed comment fix
-    # refill_per_second when it needs to report a wait time, so an actual
-    # 0.0 raises ZeroDivisionError instead of GuardRejection once the bucket
-    # is empty. A still-positive rate this small is effectively "never
-    # refills" within any of these tests.
+    # refill_per_second must be positive, so use a tiny positive value.
+    # This rate is effectively "never" refilled during these tests.
