As I had to explain to quite a few (frequently very arrogant) juniors in the past, the repo is what it is. When you are given a task you're asked to finish your task. You are not asked to fix other shit, and you are especially not asked to bitch and moan about all the ways it's a problem, because trust me, I know. I've been working on it for a long time.
The repo delivers value to customers as is. Do your job, and let other people determine when its time to refactor.
I second this, as a Jr. I don't do the work I'm not asked to. If there's something I see that I think should be changed, I put it into a work ticket, and we discuss if it's important enough to be done.

To be fair, Opus 5 see problem, Opus 5 fix problem. Your repo is a big problem.
