Contributor guide
Research direction
Inspect the cited assignments in modules/contact-form/admin.php and modules/contact-form/grunion-contact-form.php, then search for uses of each listed variable. Confirm which variables are genuinely unused and whether the line near grunion-contact-form.php:2457 should assign to $this->error; done means correcting or removing only the confirmed issues without changing contact-form behavior.
