Description

At the moment, we struggle with moves that cause inconsistencies in shadow variables. These moves are possibly absolutely pointless, and there should be an easy way to filter them out.

Unfortunately, we do not expose any information for that to be possible; the users would need to reimplement the DSV dependency logic in their filters to make it happen.

Research direction

No file or test is named in the issue. Start by tracing the shadow-variable and DSV dependency logic alongside the filtering path; done means filters can access inconsistency information and exclude such moves without reimplementing that dependency logic, with coverage for the behavior.
