Step 1-2 (audit + plan): classified 35 project markdown files into Core/Architecture/ADR/Temporary-audit/Sprint-report/Generated-review/ Duplicate/Obsolete/Historical. Agent-tooling files (.agents/skills/**, .superpowers/**, docs/context/**, CLAUDE.md/GEMINI.md/AGENTS.md/ .github/copilot-instructions.md) explicitly out of scope — intentional per-tool duplication, not documentation debt. Step 3 (merge, no information lost): - docs/PROJECT.md -> docs/PROJECT_INDEX.md, rewritten as the single entry point: system overview, living-doc index, archive pointer, current status, and a critical-finding callout up top. - docs/backend/BACKEND-INTEGRATION.md -> docs/BACKEND_API.md, docs/backend/REMAINING-BACKEND-WORK.md -> docs/BACKEND_API_REMAINING_WORK.md (also folded in a legitimate uncommitted status update that had been sitting unstaged all session: categories marked DONE, order-creation endpoint noted done). - RELEASE-NOTES.md merged into CHANGELOG.md (was a near-duplicate of the same release content in friendlier prose), then deleted. - KNOWN-ISSUES.md: added item 13 (see below) and item 14 (missing canDeactivate on admin/products edit, from the archived PROJECT-STATE audit, re-verified still true); added a correction note to Fixed item 7. - All cross-references to renamed/moved files fixed across every kept doc (grep+sed pass, then verified with a link-existence check across all 58 in-scope markdown files -> 0 broken links). Step 4 (archive, nothing deleted without merging first): created docs/archive/, moved 19 files there (3 root sprint reports, 1 platform report, SPRINT-PLAN.md, and 14 one-off audit/review/report docs). Added correction headers to the 3 archived docs whose conclusions were affected by the finding below, rather than silently leaving them misleading. Step 5: docs/PROJECT_INDEX.md rewritten per the mission brief - someone opening the repo should understand the whole system from it. IMPORTANT FINDING (surfaced during this audit, not the mission's primary goal but too significant to bury): pages/category/*, pages/search/*, pages/item-detail/*, pages/info/**, pages/legal/** (40+ files) are entirely unrouted dead code - app.routes.ts's cmsContentRoutes is a literal empty array, and category/search/product routes redirect to CatalogContainerComponent/ ProductDetailsContainerComponent, not these files. Confirmed against app.routes.ts directly and cross-checked against FRONTEND.md's own routing description. This means several fixes from earlier this cycle (RC-Premium-01, RC STORE-01) and the dead-code cleanup sprint's conclusion that these files were live were all wrong - documented as KNOWN-ISSUES.md item 13, flagged at the top of PROJECT_INDEX.md, and noted on the 3 archived docs whose conclusions it affects. No application code was changed to fix this (out of scope per this session's 'documentation only' constraint) - it needs a wire-it-up-or- delete-it decision first. Verification: tsc --noEmit clean, npm run build green, all markdown links across 58 in-scope files resolve (checked programmatically). No application/Angular/backend code modified.

Cleanup Report
Archived, correction (2026-07-25): this pass concluded
pages/category,pages/search,pages/info/**,pages/legal/**,pages/item-detailwere live/routed and kept them — that conclusion was wrong. A later documentation-consolidation pass confirmed directly againstapp.routes.tsthat all of these are genuinely unrouted dead code (cmsContentRoutesis a literal empty array). Seedocs/KNOWN-ISSUES.mditem 13. Kept here for historical accuracy of the process description (the false-positive root-cause analysis re: knip's blind spot is still useful) — the conclusion about these files being "correctly kept" is superseded.
App-wide dead-code sweep: dead components/services/routes/CSS, duplicate models/interfaces, unused imports/variables/assets/icons/SCSS/directories/modules. Business logic untouched — deletion only, no refactoring. One commit on branch B2B (not pushed): e0bcf9d.
Important note on process
The first attempt at this task was interrupted mid-run (hit a usage-limit cutoff) and left an uncommitted, unverified mass-deletion staged: 117 files, ~11,373 lines, including pages/category, pages/search, pages/info/**, pages/legal/**, pages/item-detail — all real, live, routed storefront pages (category/search were fixed for accessibility/skeleton bugs earlier in this same work cycle). This was caught before commit and fully reverted (git restore) — verified clean via tsc --noEmit afterward. The retry used a stricter standard: every deletion candidate had to be manually verified against app.routes.ts/DI registries/cross-repo grep before deletion, not just trusted from a dead-code tool's raw output, and every batch was build-verified immediately rather than at the end.
Root cause: knip repeatedly flagged the entire pages/category/pages/search/pages/info/**/pages/legal/**/pages/item-detail tree as unused, both times it was run. This is a confirmed false-positive blind spot in this codebase — likely the locale-nested component pattern (xxx-en.component.ts under an en/ subfolder, loaded via a runtime locale switch rather than a static import knip can trace) combined with lazy loadComponent route bindings. Anyone running knip on this repo in the future should cross-check its pages/** output against app.routes.ts before trusting it — it is not reliable for this specific pattern.
Deleted (26 files, e0bcf9d)
| Category | What | Verification evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Auth | core/auth/guards/ed25519-auth.guard.ts, permission.guard.ts, core/auth/interceptors/auth.interceptor.ts |
ed25519AuthGuard appears only inside a doc-comment in admin-login-page.component.ts; authInterceptor absent from app.config.ts's withInterceptors([...]); neither imported anywhere else. |
| Search | features/search/services/search-analytics.service.ts, features/search/components/empty-results/* |
SearchAnalyticsService has zero importers; app-search-empty-results selector unused — search-bar.component.html implements its own inline @if (noResults) empty state instead. |
| Content management | features/content-management/pages/content-management-page.component.ts |
Thin wrapper around StaticPagesEditorComponent, zero route in app.routes.ts. Rest of content-management/* (facade, static-pages-editor, page-editor) kept — used by project-editor. |
| Backoffice scaffolding | features/backoffice/{categories,customers,inventory,orders,products,settings}, features/backoffice/shared/backoffice-coming-soon-page.component.* |
Re-verified docs/UI-COMPOSITION-REVIEW.md's claim independently: app.routes.ts backoffice section only loads features/admin/* and features/backoffice/media. Each of the 6 deleted dirs contained only a placeholder .gitkeep from the original scaffold commit — never real components. The prior audit's "duplicate implementation" framing was itself stale; corrected here. |
| Shared barrels/models | shared/index.ts, shared/models/index.ts, shared/types/index.ts, shared/models/domain/** (incl. user-preferences.model.ts) |
Unused barrels/model, zero importers. |
| Orphaned page | pages/public/platform-home.component.ts |
No route, no import anywhere — distinct from the routed pages/category etc. that were correctly left alone. |
| Mock data | assets/mock/backoffice/{customers,orders}/list.json |
Orphaned — BackofficeDataProvider only exposes loadProducts()/loadCategories(). |
Flagged, NOT deleted (verified as false positives or out of scope)
pages/category,pages/search,pages/info/**,pages/legal/**,pages/item-detail— knip's recurring false-positive (see Root cause above). All confirmed live and routed. Note:docs/STORE_REVIEW.mdhad previously flaggeditem-detailspecifically as "confirmed dead code (unrouted)" during RC STORE-01 — that assessment needs re-verification againstapp.routes.tsgiven this tool's now-confirmed blind spot on this exact directory pattern; not re-checked in this pass, flagged for the next person touching that area.SearchHistoryService— knip flagged it, but it's actively injected insearch.facade.ts. Another confirmed false positive.primeng/primeicons/barry-cache— knip flagged as unused dependencies. Not verified further here;primeng/primeiconsremoval is already tracked indocs/KNOWN-ISSUES.md(item 12) blocked on an unrelatednpm uninstallfailure.barry-cacheis the repo's own memory tooling, out of scope for a dead-code pass regardless.- 123 "unused exports/types" flagged by knip — left alone. This is TypeScript interface/type surface cleanup, not dead files; a different, lower-risk category that wasn't prioritized in this pass given the tool's demonstrated unreliability here — recommend manual review, not knip's raw list, if pursued later.
- 5 branding SVGs (
mastercard-logo.min.svg,dexar-logo*.svg,dexar-favicon.svg,novo-logo.svg,novo-favicon.svg) — flagged indocs/PERFORMANCE_REPORT.mdas possibly backend/tenant-driven, not statically referenced. Not touched, per that report's own caution.
Verification
tsc --noEmit clean after every deletion batch (not just at the end — batches were verified incrementally so a bad deletion could be isolated and reverted immediately rather than debugged after the fact). npm run build green (only the pre-existing bundle-budget warning). npm run arch:check:boundaries and arch:check:cycles both pass (435 files processed, no circular dependencies). Working tree clean aside from the pre-existing unrelated docs/backend/REMAINING-BACKEND-WORK.md modification, untouched.
