I mean this out of genuine curiosity, not as criticism: did she consider telling claude code to look for any duplicate functionality and remove it? Or even edit CLAUDE.md to tell it to check for duplicates after major refactors and remove them? I use CC every day at the moment and I would expect these sorts of instructions to work extremely well, especially in what appears to be relatively small codebase.

Once it became plain that there was duplicate functionality and that it was a problem, yeah, the first thing she did was tell Claude at a high level to factor out duplicate functionality. This didn't really work - it would often implement a factored-out piece of logic but just leave the pre-existing code alone. So she had to be pretty specific about problem areas in order to actually push the refactoring plan forward.
