This document provides ready-to-apply code changes for all optimization recommendations.

---

## PATCH 1: Remove Unnecessary pass from GuardClauseError
**File:** `modgud/shared/errors.py`
**Lines:** 6-9
**Impact:** -1 line
**Priority:** LOW

### Before
```python
class GuardClauseError(Exception):
  """Exception raised when a guard clause fails."""

  pass
```

### After
```python
class GuardClauseError(Exception):
  """Exception raised when a guard clause fails."""
```

---

## PATCH 2: Add Guard Protocol Documentation
**File:** `modgud/guarded_expression/guard_runtime.py`
**Lines:** 30-34
**Impact:** +1 line (documentation)
**Priority:** HIGH

### Before
```python
for guard in guards:
  guard_result = guard(*args, **kwargs)
  # Handle guard failure
  if guard_result is not True:
    return guard_result if isinstance(guard_result, str) else 'Guard clause failed'
return None
```

### After
```python
for guard in guards:
  guard_result = guard(*args, **kwargs)
  if guard_result is not True:
    # Guards can return strings (custom messages) or other falsy values (generic message)
    return guard_result if isinstance(guard_result, str) else 'Guard clause failed'
return None
```

---

## PATCH 3: Simplify CommonGuards.not_empty
**File:** `modgud/guarded_expression/common_guards.py`
**Lines:** 62-69
**Impact:** -3 lines
**Priority:** MEDIUM

### Before
```python
def check_not_empty(*args: Any, **kwargs: Any) -> Union[bool, str]:
  value = CommonGuards._extract_param(param_name, position, args, kwargs, default='')

  # Check if value is empty (works for strings and collections)
  if hasattr(value, '__len__'):
    return len(value) > 0 or f'{param_name} cannot be empty'

  return bool(value) or f'{param_name} cannot be empty'
```

### After
```python
def check_not_empty(*args: Any, **kwargs: Any) -> Union[bool, str]:
  value = CommonGuards._extract_param(param_name, position, args, kwargs, default='')
  is_valid = len(value) > 0 if hasattr(value, '__len__') else bool(value)
  return is_valid or f'{param_name} cannot be empty'
```

---

## PATCH 4: Optimize _wrap_with_guards
**File:** `modgud/guarded_expression/decorator.py`
**Lines:** 102-129
**Impact:** -5 lines
**Priority:** MEDIUM

### Before
```python
def _wrap_with_guards(
  self, func: Callable[..., Any], preserve_metadata_from: Optional[Callable[..., Any]] = None
) -> Callable[..., Any]:
  """Wrap the function with guard checking logic."""
  metadata_source = preserve_metadata_from if preserve_metadata_from is not None else func

  @functools.wraps(metadata_source)
  def wrapper(*args: Any, **kwargs: Any) -> Any:
    # Check guards if any are defined
    if self.guards:
      error_msg = check_guards(self.guards, args, kwargs)
      if error_msg is not None:
        # Handle failure
        result, exception_to_raise = handle_failure(
          error_msg, self.on_error, func.__name__, args, kwargs, self.log
        )
        # Raise exception if configured
        if exception_to_raise:
          raise exception_to_raise
        return result

    # All guards passed - execute the function
    return func(*args, **kwargs)

  # Preserve explicit annotations for typing/IDE help
  wrapper.__signature__ = inspect.signature(metadata_source)  # type: ignore[attr-defined]
  wrapper.__annotations__ = getattr(metadata_source, '__annotations__', {})
  return wrapper
```

### After
```python
def _wrap_with_guards(
  self, func: Callable[..., Any], preserve_metadata_from: Optional[Callable[..., Any]] = None
) -> Callable[..., Any]:
  """Wrap the function with guard checking logic."""
  metadata_source = preserve_metadata_from or func

  @functools.wraps(metadata_source)
  def wrapper(*args: Any, **kwargs: Any) -> Any:
    # Check guards if any are defined
    if self.guards and (error_msg := check_guards(self.guards, args, kwargs)) is not None:
      result, exception_to_raise = handle_failure(
        error_msg, self.on_error, func.__name__, args, kwargs, self.log
      )
      if exception_to_raise:
        raise exception_to_raise
      return result
    return func(*args, **kwargs)

  # Preserve explicit annotations for typing/IDE help
  wrapper.__signature__ = inspect.signature(metadata_source)  # type: ignore[attr-defined]
  wrapper.__annotations__ = getattr(metadata_source, '__annotations__', {})
  return wrapper
```

**Changes:**
1. Line 106: Use `or` instead of ternary for None coalescing
2. Line 110: Combine guard check and error message assignment using walrus operator
3. Remove "Handle failure" comment (redundant)
4. Remove "Raise exception if configured" comment (obvious)
5. Remove blank line before final return

## PATCH 5: Add Module-Level Example to CommonGuards
**File:** `modgud/guarded_expression/common_guards.py`
**Lines:** 1-5
**Impact:** +7 lines (documentation)
**Priority:** MEDIUM

### Before
```python
"""Common guard validators for typical validation scenarios.

Provides pre-built guard functions through the CommonGuards class for
common validation patterns like not_none, positive, in_range, etc.
"""
```

### After
```python
"""Common guard validators for typical validation scenarios.

Provides pre-built guard functions through the CommonGuards class for
common validation patterns like not_none, positive, in_range, etc.

Example:
    @guarded_expression(
        CommonGuards.not_none("user_id"),
        CommonGuards.positive("amount")
    )
    def process_payment(user_id, amount):
        {"status": "success"}
"""

# Use explicit position if provided, else default to first arg
pos = position if position is not None else 0
if 0 <= pos < len(args):
  return args[pos]

return default
```

### After
```python
if param_name in kwargs:
  return kwargs[param_name]
pos = position if position is not None else 0
return args[pos] if 0 <= pos < len(args) else default
```

---

## PATCH 7: Use Walrus in check_guards (Optional)
**File:** `modgud/guarded_expression/guard_runtime.py`
**Lines:** 30-34
**Impact:** -1 line
**Priority:** LOW

```

### After
```python
for guard in guards:
  # Guards can return strings (custom messages) or other falsy values (generic message)
  if (guard_result := guard(*args, **kwargs)) is not True:

```

    else self._wrap_with_guards(func)
  )
```

### After
```python
def __call__(self, func: Callable[..., Any]) -> Callable[..., Any]:

  return self._apply_implicit_return(func) if self.implicit_return_enabled else self._wrap_with_guards(func)
```

---

## PATCH 9: Document Implicit Result Variable (Optional)
**File:** `modgud/guarded_expression/ast_transform.py`

      position: Position for positional args (default: 0)

  """
```

### After
```python
@staticmethod
def not_none(param_name: str = 'parameter', position: int = 0) -> GuardFunction:
  """Guard ensuring parameter is not None.

      position: Position in args tuple (0-based, default: 0)

  """
```

## Testing After Patches

```bash

poetry run ruff format --check
poetry run mypy modgud/
```

All tests should pass with no regressions.

## Net Impact Summary

### If All Patches Applied

| Metric | Before | After | Change |
|--------|--------|-------|--------|
| Total Lines | 710 | 694 | -16 (-2.3%) |
| Documentation Quality | 7/10 | 9/10 | +2 |
| Code Conciseness | 8/10 | 9/10 | +1 |

### If Only Phase 1+2 Applied (Recommended)

| Metric | Before | After | Change |
|--------|--------|-------|--------|
| Total Lines | 710 | 710 | 0 (net) |
| Documentation Quality | 7/10 | 9/10 | +2 |
| Code Conciseness | 8/10 | 9/10 | +1 |

**Note:** Phase 1+2 trades code reduction for documentation, which is valuable.

## Conflict Resolution

None expected - patches target different sections of code with no overlaps.

---

## Rollback Instructions

All changes are localized to specific functions. If issues arise:

1. Git revert the specific file
2. Run tests to verify
3. Review patch-specific changes

No database migrations or breaking API changes are involved.
