SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Remove or deprecate code and features in a controlled, auditable way, minimizing risk to the codebase.

Core Features & Use Cases

Trace dependencies across the codebase to identify all references, shared usage, and potential impact before deletion.
Plan and present a safe deletion by listing all affected files, imports, tests, migrations, and docs that must be updated or removed.
Execute cleanups with guardrails including isolated deletion steps, validation checks, and a final project health check.

Quick Start

Initiate a removal by specifying the feature or code path and confirm the proposed deletion plan to execute.

FAQPage Schema

How do I safely remove code and trace dependencies before deleting features?▼

To safely remove code, trace dependencies and references across the codebase to understand impact. This identifies shared usage and prepares a safe deletion plan before executing removal in isolated steps.

What's the best way to audit code references and plan a feature deletion?▼

The best way to plan a feature deletion is auditing all references, imports, tests, migrations, and docs. This impact analysis lists affected files to update or remove, ensuring a controlled and safe cleanup.

Can I execute code cleanups with validation checks and still pass project tests?▼

Yes, you can execute code cleanups with guardrails by running isolated deletion steps and updating imports. A final project health check verifies that the project check passes after the removal.

How do I update imports and tests when removing deprecated code paths?▼

Update imports and tests during the deletion execution phase. The process updates affected files identified in the deletion plan and validates the changes with a final project health check.

When should I use an auditable code removal process instead of manual deletion?▼

Use an auditable code removal process when deprecating features to minimize risk to the codebase. It provides controlled, isolated deletion steps with dependency tracing, which manual deletion lacks.

Does removing shared code require updating migrations and documentation?▼

Yes, removing shared code requires updating migrations and documentation. The deletion plan identifies all affected files, including docs and migrations, that must be updated or removed for a safe cleanup.
