Refactor code to address Sourcery-identified code quality issues

[sourcery-ai]

Sourcery has identified several code quality issues in the codebase:

1. Swap if/else to remove empty if body (x2):

   • There are two instances where an if statement has an empty body (e.g., just a pass), and the logic can be improved by swapping the if/else blocks to remove the empty body. See Sourcery documentation for more details.

2. Hoist repeated code outside conditional statement (x2):

   • There are two instances where code is repeated in both branches of a conditional statement. This code should be hoisted outside the conditional to improve readability and maintainability. See Sourcery documentation for more details.

Action Items:

• Refactor the code to address the above issues:
  • Swap if/else blocks to remove empty if bodies.
  • Hoist repeated code outside of conditional statements.
• Review the affected files and ensure that the changes do not affect functionality.

Addressing these issues will improve code quality and maintainability.
