+"""Batch cheap, non-conflicting FX cleanups into one graph repair cycle.
+
+Several post-lowering passes only delete/rewrite a few node kinds, then each
+calls ``clean_up_graph_after_modifications`` (DCE + lint + recompile). On large
+graphs that recompile dominates and is paid repeatedly.
+
+Naren's guidance: use one iteration / one cleanup for repairs that do not
+conflict. This pass runs those mutations back-to-back and cleans up once.
