Discussion: Unreachable if(TRUE) else block in cansim_metadata.R

[dshkol]

Summary

There's an if (TRUE) condition with an else branch that can never execute.

Current State

• File: R/cansim_metadata.R:37-56 (approximate lines)
• Code has if (TRUE) { ... } else { ... }
• The else branch is dead code

Questions

• Was this intentional debugging code that should be removed?
• Is the else branch an incomplete feature?
• What was the else branch meant to do?

Options

1. Remove the condition - Just keep the if-block contents
2. Complete the else branch - If there's intended functionality
3. Parameterize - Turn into a real condition if needed

From code audit - needs context on original intent
