Refactor Clean
Safely identify and remove dead code with test verification:
-
Run dead code analysis tools:
- vulture: Find unused Python code (functions, classes, variables)
- pyflakes: Detect unused imports and variables
- ruff check --select F401: Find unused imports
- pip-audit: Check for security vulnerabilities
-
Generate comprehensive report in .reports/dead-code-analysis.md
-
Categorize findings by severity:
- SAFE: Test files, unused utilities, unused imports
- CAUTION: API routes, models, fixtures
- DANGER: Config files, main entry points, registry decorators
-
Propose safe deletions only
-
Before each deletion:
- Run full test suite (pytest)
- Verify tests pass
- Apply change
- Re-run tests
- Rollback if tests fail
-

Never delete code without running tests first!
