Identifies components that no longer serve the intended topology and provides a safe, structured approach to archive, flag, or remove them, preventing drift and maintenance debt.
Run the deadwood classification after canopy to identify drifted components and schedule them for archiving.

To archive code that no longer fits your project topology, you apply a classification taxonomy that categorizes components into statuses like ACTIVE or DEADWOOD, safely moving drifted items to an archive or scheduling them for removal.
The best way to classify code components for archival workflows is to use a topology-aligned taxonomy, distinguishing items as ACTIVE, PIONEER, NURSE, DIVERGENT, SUSPECT, or DEADWOOD to decide whether to archive, mark, or remove them.
You need to run code cleanup and archival workflows when canopy surfaces drift or weight across code, docs, and configurations, indicating components no longer serve the intended project topology and require structured removal.
Yes, you can archive configurations and documentation. The archival workflow operates across code, docs, and configurations within a codebase, ensuring all drifted components are classified and preserved for revival or removal.
A limitation of using a classification taxonomy for code cleanup is that it requires drift or weight to be surfaced beforehand by canopy, meaning it cannot independently detect topology misalignment without prior analysis.
