Safely identify and remove dead code with test-backed verification to prevent regressions during refactors.
Establish a baseline, identify dead-code candidates, and remove one SAFE item at a time with immediate test verification.

To safely remove dead code, establish a test baseline, categorize unused exports and stale utilities into risk levels, and delete one SAFE item at a time with immediate test re-verification to prevent regressions.
The best way to clean up unused exports before a major refactor is to establish a test baseline, categorize dead-code candidates by risk, and incrementally remove SAFE items while verifying tests to guard against regressions.
Test-backed verification works by enforcing a passing test baseline before deletion, then re-running tests immediately after removing one SAFE dead-code item to confirm no regressions occur.
You should categorize dead code findings into SAFE, CAUTION, and DANGER levels when pruning tech debt across modules and repositories, ensuring only SAFE items are deleted incrementally while higher-risk items require manual review.
No, you should delete one SAFE dead-code item at a time. This incremental approach requires immediate test re-verification after each removal to ensure no unexpected regressions break the codebase.
