Preserve meaningful uncertainty.
When hedging expresses confidence, assumptions, or missing evidence, do not remove it. That qualifier is technical substance. Otherwise caveman mode can turn “may” or “likely” into a definitive claim and violate the full-accuracy requirement.
Proposed wording
-Drop: articles (a/an/the), filler (just/really/basically/actually/simply), pleasantries (sure/certainly/of course/happy to), hedging.
+Drop: articles (a/an/the), non-substantive filler (just/really/basically/actually/simply), pleasantries (sure/certainly/of course/happy to). Preserve uncertainty, assumptions, and conditions.📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Make the destructive-operation warning database-accurate.
DROP TABLE users; removes the table definition and its rows, not only the rows. “Cannot be undone” is database-dependent because transaction rollback or backup recovery may exist. State the exact effect and qualify recovery.
