/**
* Declarative cleanup plugin that transforms:
* <pre>
* new String(bytes, "UTF-8") → new String(bytes, StandardCharsets.UTF_8)
* </pre>
*
* <p>This demonstrates how to use {@link CleanupPattern} and {@link RewriteRule}
* for fully declarative code transformations without manual AST manipulation.</p>
*
* <p><b>How it works:</b></p>
* <ul>
* <li>{@code @CleanupPattern} defines the pattern to match: {@code new String($bytes, "UTF-8")}</li>
* <li>{@code @RewriteRule} defines the replacement: {@code new String($bytes, StandardCharsets.UTF_8)}</li>
* <li>The {@code $bytes} placeholder is automatically preserved in the replacement</li>
* <li>Imports are managed automatically via {@code addImports} and (optionally) {@code removeImports}</li>
* </ul>
*
* <p><b>Benefits over traditional cleanup:</b></p>
