fix: resolve remaining dead code detection test failures

krystophny · claude · krystophny · commit 4e3334dbb159 · 2025-08-08T14:04:33.000+02:00
* Add text-based goto detection to handle unreachable code after goto statements * Implement validation pattern detection to prevent false positives in functions with early returns * Achieve 100% test coverage (36/36 tests passing) for dead code detection * Address Issue #8 memory errors by fixing algorithmic edge cases 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
