hard-cut
Hard Cut
Use this when a feature should die, not linger.
Rules
- Delete the surface. Do not deprecate it.
- Do not leave
throw new Error("Not implemented"), placeholder notices, "feature removed" banners, or TODOs about bringing it back unless the user explicitly asks. - Do not keep compatibility aliases, deprecated shims, fallback parsing, migration bridges, or dead exports.
- Delete tests for deleted behavior. Keep tests only for the behavior that still exists.
- Delete comments that describe deleted code or mourn the old feature.
- If removal exposes adjacent dead code, keep cutting until the graph is clean.
