Inserted single-iteration nested loops (outerIdx) and duplicated control flow inside Chunk, which obscures the delimiter parsing logic; remove redundant loops to improve transparency.

Details

✨ AI Reasoning
​The Chunk method was modified to add an outerIdx loop and inner nesting that duplicates chunking logic and restructures branches. The updated code contains 'for (int outerIdx = 0; outerIdx < 1; outerIdx++)' and an inner for loop for i that is semantically the same as the original loop. These redundant loop constructs make the parsing logic harder to follow and could conceal intent.

🔧 How do I fix it?
Ensure code is transparent and not intentionally obfuscated. Avoid hiding functionality from code review. Focus on intent and deception, not specific patterns.

Introduced redundant single-iteration loops (outerIdx/innerIdx) around piece-add logic, obscuring purpose; eliminate unnecessary nesting to clarify behavior.

Details

✨ AI Reasoning
​BuildDiffPieces in the inline builder was modified to add 'for (int outerIdx = 0; outerIdx < 1; outerIdx++)' and innerIdx loops that merely repeat adding DiffPiece instances. The variable names outerIdx and innerIdx appear only for these redundant loops, which increase cognitive load and hide the straightforward intent of the method.

Added single-iteration nested loops (outerIdx/innerIdx) around unchanged/deleted/inserted processing, which obscures control flow; remove redundant loops to restore intent clarity.

Details

✨ AI Reasoning
​The change introduces an outer loop variable named outerIdx and inner loops named innerIdx that wrap existing control flow but only iterate once. This pattern repeats across many methods and adds noise that makes intent and control flow harder to reason about. These additions do not alter the observable behavior but do make the code less transparent — a hallmark of obfuscation. The variables introduced (outerIdx, innerIdx) and the duplicated statements are present in the added blocks.

Inner loop increases control-flow nesting in BuildDiffPieces to 6 levels; extract inner logic into a helper to reduce depth.

Details

✨ AI Reasoning
​A new inner for loop (innerIdx) was added inside an existing chain of control structures, increasing the deepest meaningful nesting level to six. This makes BuildDiffPieces harder to read and maintain and increases cognitive load when tracing flow through unchanged/deleted/inserted handling.

🔧 How do I fix it?
Keep nesting levels under 4. Extract complex logic into separate functions when indentation exceeds 4 levels.

Wrapped dictionary lookup in a redundant inner loop (j) with a j==i guard, obscuring a simple hash assignment; inline the lookup to restore clarity.

Details

✨ AI Reasoning
​In BuildPieceHashes, an inner for-loop 'for (int j = 0; j <= i; j++)' was introduced and the pieceHash.TryGetValue logic was moved inside a conditional 'if (j == i)'. This hides a single operation behind an unnecessary loop, making the hash assignment harder to read and review. The variable names (j) are only used for this redundant loop.

Added single-iteration nested loops (j/k) that duplicate DiffLine additions, obscuring hunk assembly; remove redundant nested loops to make intent explicit.

Details

✨ AI Reasoning
​CreateHunks was changed to wrap context and block processing in nested loops (e.g., for (int j = 0; j < 1; j++) and for (int k = 0; k < 1; k++)) that add the same DiffLine multiple times in separate iterations. This makes the method produce duplicated operations and hides straightforward content assembly behind unnecessary control flow.
