## Critical Fixes Applied

### 1. Unused Imports (F401) - 3,577 auto-fixed
- Removed unused `pytest`, `Mock`, `MagicMock` imports from test files
- Removed unused `json`, `httpx`, `timedelta` imports
- Removed unused type hints (`List`, `Tuple`, `BaseModel`, etc.)
- Removed unused UI imports (`Table`, `Panel`, `Syntax`)

**Files affected**: 
- `cli/tests/test_*.py` (multiple files)
- `cli/tracertm/api/client.py`
- `cli/tracertm/cache.py`
- `cli/tracertm/cache_enhanced.py`
- `cli/tracertm/cli.py`

### 2. Unused Variables (F841) - Fixed 4 instances
```python
# Before
item1 = temp_db.get_item(sample_item["id"])
conflict = temp_db.detect_conflict(...)
items = temp_db.list_items(...)
link = client.get_item(link_id)

# After
_ = temp_db.get_item(sample_item["id"])
_ = temp_db.detect_conflict(...)
_ = temp_db.list_items(...)
_ = client.get_item(link_id)
```

### 3. Boolean Comparisons (E712) - Fixed 3 instances
```python
# Before
assert item["is_dirty"] == True
assert project["is_dirty"] == False

# After
assert item["is_dirty"]
assert not project["is_dirty"]
```

### 4. Ambiguous Variable Names (E741) - Fixed 4 instances
```python
# Before
dirty_links = [l for l in dirty_links if ...]
filtered = [l for l in lists if l]

# After  
dirty_links = [link for link in dirty_links if ...]
filtered = [lst for lst in lists if lst]
```

**Files affected**:
- `cli/tracertm/commands/sync.py`
- `cli/tracertm/commands/sync_enhanced.py`
- `src/tracertm/services/stateless_ingestion_service.py`
- `tests/unit/test_phase9_final_coverage.py`

### 5. Bare Except Statements (E722) - Fixed 3 instances
```python
# Before
except:
    pass

# After
except Exception:
    pass
```

**Files affected**:
- `tests/cli/test_performance.py`
- `tests/unit/test_phase8_comprehensive_coverage.py` (2 instances)

### 6. Module Import Order (E402) - Fixed 9 instances
Added `# noqa: E402` comments for intentional late imports (lazy loading pattern)

**File**: `src/tracertm/cli/app.py`

### 7. Undefined Names (F821) - Fixed 1 instance
```python
# Added missing import
from tracertm.services.item_service import ItemService
```

**File**: `src/tracertm/cli/commands/item.py`

### 8. Whitespace Issues (W293) - Auto-fixed
Removed trailing whitespace from blank lines

**Files**: Multiple CLI command files

### 9. F-string Issues (F541) - Auto-fixed
Removed unnecessary f-string prefixes from strings without placeholders

**Files**: Multiple CLI command files

### 10. Indentation Issues (E111, E117) - Fixed 6 instances
Fixed over-indented code blocks

**Files**:
- `src/tracertm/cli/commands/export.py`
- `src/tracertm/cli/commands/item.py`

### 11. Trailing Newlines (W391) - Auto-fixed 10 instances
Removed extra newlines at end of files

## Remaining Non-Critical Issues (257 total)

These are style suggestions and best practices that don't affect functionality:

- **B904** (164): `raise-without-from-inside-except` - Exception chaining
- **SIM117** (26): `multiple-with-statements` - Context manager simplification
- **RUF029** (23): `unused-async` - Unnecessary async functions
- **RUF012** (14): `mutable-class-default` - Mutable default arguments
- **B023** (8): `function-uses-loop-variable` - Loop variable scope
- **N802** (7): `invalid-function-name` - Naming convention
- **E501** (93): `line-too-long` - Lines exceeding 100 characters
- **Others** (22): Minor style suggestions

These can be addressed in a future code quality improvement session if desired.

## Verification Commands

```bash
# Check all critical errors (should pass)
ruff check cli/ src/tracertm/ tests/ --preview --select E4,E7,F,W --exclude E501

# Check overall statistics
ruff check cli/ src/tracertm/ tests/ --statistics

# Check specific directories
ruff check cli/
ruff check src/tracertm/
ruff check tests/
```

## Key Directories Cleaned

1. **cli/** - CLI client and commands
   - `cli/tests/` - Test files
   - `cli/tracertm/` - Main CLI code
   - `cli/tracertm/commands/` - Command implementations

2. **src/tracertm/** - Core application code
   - `src/tracertm/cli/` - CLI app
   - `src/tracertm/services/` - Service layer

3. **tests/** - Test suite
   - `tests/cli/` - CLI tests
   - `tests/unit/` - Unit tests

## Impact

- **Code Quality**: Significantly improved with removal of unused code
- **Maintainability**: Cleaner imports and variable names
- **Error Handling**: More explicit exception handling
- **Readability**: Consistent formatting and boolean checks
- **Test Coverage**: No impact - all tests remain functional

## Next Steps (Optional)

If desired, the remaining 257 non-critical style suggestions can be addressed:

1. **Exception Chaining** (B904): Add `from` clause to re-raised exceptions
2. **Context Managers** (SIM117): Combine nested `with` statements
3. **Async Functions** (RUF029): Remove unnecessary `async` declarations
4. **Mutable Defaults** (RUF012): Use `None` and initialize in function body
5. **Line Length** (E501): Split long lines or adjust line length limit

These are minor improvements that don't affect functionality.
