Purpose/Implementation Notes

Some things have been bothering me while working on this project. So I wanted to take a little bit of time and clean things up. Mostly, I want to resolve any lsp warnings / errors that don't seem to have any impact on our repo. I don't think we should submit this until development has slowed down since lots of stuff is subject to be tweaked in the next couple of weeks. This PR is just to remind me that I started this.
