dead-code-remover

Dead code removal detects unused imports, functions, classes, and exports across multiple languages, then validates changes with build and test verification to ensure nothing breaks before final deletion.

Yes, if post-deletion build and test verification fails, you can rollback code changes using git checkout to restore the repository to its previous working state.

Yes, static analysis for dead code explicitly preserves framework-decorated and API-exported elements by enforcing an explicit review gate to prevent accidental deletion of active code paths.

The best way to automate code cleanup without breaking tests is to enforce an approval gate before deletion and run post-deletion build and test verification to catch unsafe changes immediately.

You should use an automated dead code remover when maintaining large repositories with accumulated unused code, as it safely handles multi-language detection and build verification that manual cleanup cannot easily validate.

Dead code removal requires an explicit review gate to ensure user approval before deletion, preventing the removal of necessary code and allowing build and test verification before changes are finalized.
