Fix comment slop.

[sachasayan]

Quick comment slop fix. Hopefully fewer of these being fed into context means the LLMs (looking at you, Gemini... 👀) are less eager to add even more.

Regex used:

\/\/[^\S\n]+(?:Add|Remove|Update|Import|Restore).{1,30}(\n)

Plain english: "Look for //, followed by [Add(ed), Remove(d), Update(d)...], followed by up to thirty characters and then a newline.

---

Important

Remove specific types of comments across multiple files to improve code readability and maintainability.

• Behavior:
  • Removes comments matching the regex \/\/[^\S\n]+(?:Add|Remove|Update|Import|Restore).{1,30}(\n) across various files.
  • Affects comments that start with // followed by keywords like Add, Remove, Update, etc.
• Files Affected:
  • gemini.test.ts, mistral.test.ts, deepseek.ts, cache-strategy.test.ts, base-strategy.ts, Cline.ts, Cline.test.ts, ContextProxy.ts, CustomModesManager.ts, insert-groups.ts, multi-search-replace.test.ts, index.ts, system.test.ts.snap, system.test.ts, custom-system-prompt.test.ts, custom-instructions.ts, index.ts, executeCommandTool.test.ts, applyDiffTool.ts, ClineProvider.ts, ClineProvider.test.ts, webviewMessageHandler.ts, DiffViewProvider.ts, processCarriageReturns.benchmark.ts, extract-text.ts, read-lines.ts, ShellIntegrationManager.ts, Terminal.ts, TerminalProcess.ts, TerminalProcess.test.ts, TerminalProcessExec.bash.test.ts, TerminalProcessExec.cmd.test.ts, TerminalProcessExec.pwsh.test.ts, TerminalRegistry.test.ts, bashStream.ts, BrowserSession.ts, browserDiscovery.ts, ShadowCheckpointService.test.ts, McpHub.ts, McpHub.test.ts, file-search.ts, sample-rust.ts, languageParser.test.ts, index.ts, modes.ts, shell.test.ts, CompactTransport.test.ts, BrowserSessionRow.tsx, ChatView.tsx, ChatTextArea.test.tsx, TaskHeader.test.tsx, CodeBlock.tsx, MermaidBlock.tsx, SettingsView.test.tsx, TemperatureControl.test.tsx, select-dropdown.tsx, RooTips.test.tsx, ExtensionStateContext.tsx, command-validation.ts, context-mentions.ts, highlight.ts.

The changes in this pull request are focused on removing redundant comments and cleaning up code formatting across multiple files. These changes are consistent and related, as they aim to improve code readability and maintainability by removing unnecessary comments. Therefore, it makes sense to keep them in a single pull request for consistency.

Some of the Regex removables might be usefully explanatory. (it is regex after all)

So Is there going to be / should be a prohibition against all the trigger words for comments?

Or as a project we agree that "all human written comments" use /// or //<some-character(s)> to protect against future AI slop?

I agree. I did limit character length to 30 chars — anything beyond that stayed — and I did a quick manual pass for anything that looked valuable WITHIN the captured lines. This is, granted, otherwise a blunt measure.

Or as a project we agree that "all human written comments" use /// or //<some-character(s)> to protect against future AI slop?

Sooner or later the AI is going to adapt and start feeding triple-slash slop into the codebase, so I don't think that'll work. However, I think this is also going to get fixed in the models within 3-6 months so this is just a temporary sanity measure?

Closing this one. Will re-open after #3235 is merged.
