Dead Dependencies

Identify and safely remove unused npm dependencies. This is a local, interactive workflow — a scheduled report can only ever guess; confirming a dependency is dead requires grepping real usage and running the build.

Why manual (not knip/depcheck)

Static tools over-report badly in this repo and must not be trusted blindly:

• The root package.json is a mega-manifest (UI + desktop + build + test
  • storybook + electron), so a tool scanning one area flags everything used elsewhere as "unused".
• Lots of dependencies are referenced without an import: webpack loaders and eslint/jest/babel plugins by string in config, tools invoked from package.json scripts, runtime -r preloads, dynamic require, and ambient @types/*.
• The webpack→Vite migration left genuinely dead build tooling behind, mixed in with false positives.
