Hubert Gancarczyk 2740a3ec38 chore(knip): clear the parked dead-code backlog and drop the ceiling to 0 (#770)
> Built on top of #769, so this PR carries that commit too — the
workflows only run for PRs targeting `main`, which is why it is based
there rather than on the branch. #769 on its own is the minimal,
low-risk fix for the currently-red job; if it merges first this shrinks
to its own commit, and if this one merges first it closes #769 as well.

## What this does

#572 landed the gate with 215 findings parked under `--max-issues`. That
bounded the backlog but left it in place, and the first thing to touch
it (#663) pushed the total to 218 and turned the job red. This clears
the backlog and sets the ceiling to **0**, so the next unused export
fails the job instead of consuming headroom nobody knew was there.

| | before | after |
| --- | ---: | ---: |
| Unused exports | 47 | 0 |
| Unused exported types | 156 | 0 |
| Unused exported class members | 12 | 0 |
| `--max-issues` | 215 | **0** |

## Scope check first

Every workspace holding a finding is `private: true`.
`@swmansion/argent` — the one published package — had **zero**, so
nothing here moves a public API.

## Two shapes of fix

**Still referenced inside its own file → drop `export`** (146 types, 36
exports). The declaration stays put; it just leaves the module's public
surface. `tsc` keeps emitting these into the `.d.ts` as local
declarations that the exported signatures reference.

For the 146 **types** that is the whole story: they are erased, so the
emitted `.js` is byte-identical. For the 36 **values** it is not.
Dropping `export` from a `const`/`function`/`class` removes its
`exports.X` binding from the emitted `dist/*.js` — 36 declarations
across 26 files here. `packages/tool-server/dist/utils/device-info.js`
no longer carries `exports.REMOTE_PREFIX` or
`exports.VEGA_SERIAL_PREFIX`; `telemetry/dist/posthog.js` loses
`exports.POSTHOG_PROJECT_TOKEN`; in the ESM-emitting `argent-installer`,
`isTempRunnerPath` / `resolveLocalArgentDir` / `PACKAGE_ROOT` leave the
module namespace object entirely.

Nothing in the repo or in the `packages/argent-private` submodule at the
pinned revision reads any of them by path, so nothing breaks. Flagging
it because a `require()` of a built `dist/*.js` loses a dropped `export`
exactly the way it lost the deleted `__resetAndroidDevtoolsInstallCache`
this branch had to restore — so this half of the diff does deserve
runtime scrutiny, not a skim.

**Referenced nowhere → delete.** Orphaned test seams (`__test`,
`_testValidators`), stale compatibility re-exports, and a few real
orphans. The ones worth a reviewer's eye:

- **`localSimctl`** — the `SimctlBackend` strategy is only ever
constructed with `remoteSimctl`. What keeps the local iOS impl off it is
the handler signature: `buildIosLaunchHandler` /
`buildIosRestartHandler` read `services.nativeDevtools`, and
`ios-remote` is the only platform that declares that service, so the
local impl — which resolves native-devtools per device inside its own
handler — has nothing to hand them and shells out to `xcrun` itself.
- **`sendCharInsert`** — removing the `__sendCharInsert` test alias
exposed the underlying helper as unreferenced. It is superseded, not
unwired: the Chromium keyboard impl dispatches its own `type: "char"`
event inline (`keyboard/platforms/chromium.ts:58`), which is exactly
what this helper did. Chromium typing is unaffected.
- **Error metadata fields** — `ServiceNotFoundError.serviceId`,
`ToolNotFoundError.toolId` and their two siblings were never read. The
`e.serviceId` in `registry-error-events.test.ts` is a field on the event
object the handler pushes, not on the error class; the `err.toolId` in
`http.ts` is `NotImplementedOnPlatformError`, a different class that
keeps its fields. Flagging these in case they are wanted as deliberate
diagnostics.

Deleting `SourceMapsRegistry.toGeneratedPosition` / `findMatchingSource`
cascaded into their only helper (`buildSourceCandidates`) and then into
`projectRoot`, which had no remaining reader — so the constructor
parameter goes too. `StubSourceMapsRegistry` existed only to pass
`super("")`, so it goes with it.

## The three cross-workspace members

`ArtifactStore.register`, `ArtifactStore.list` and
`TypedEventEmitter.off` are all called from other workspaces — the
artifact route and screenshot tools in `tool-server`, and
`registry-listener` in `telemetry`. They are reported unused anyway, and
the reason is the **unbuilt tree** the gate runs against: every
workspace resolves `main`/`types` to a `dist/` that does not exist, so
`@argent/registry` resolves to nothing and the cross-workspace edge
never forms. Build the tree and all three findings disappear on their
own; a control member that really is dead is still reported in the built
run, so the pass is live either way. Nothing about this is specific to
`classMembers` — every cross-workspace reference is invisible the same
way.

Each is exempted at the declaration with a `@public` JSDoc tag rather
than by name in `knip.jsonc`, for one reason: **scope**. `ignoreMembers`
matches a name across the whole workspace, so it would also hide a
future dead `register`/`list`/`off` on any other class in
`packages/registry`; `@public` binds to the member it is written on.

What `@public` does **not** buy is a staleness check, and neither does
`ignoreMembers`. Measured on a clean unbuilt worktree: a bogus
`ignoreMembers` name and a redundant `@public` each leave the run at
exit 0 with no hint, while a bogus `ignoreDependencies` name exits 1
with `Remove from ignoreDependencies`. `treatConfigHintsAsErrors` is
live and simply has no producer for either exemption style — so when one
of the three stops being earned, nothing says so, and the JSDoc at each
member is the only record a re-audit has. Each one names its callers,
and `off` records how to re-derive them (rename the member and read the
`Property 'off' does not exist` errors; grepping `.off(` over-reports,
since 14 of the 38 call-site hits are Node `EventEmitter`s). One
correction to the commit message on that change: it says 35 hits where
the exact count is 38 — 14 Node `EventEmitter`, 24 `TypedEventEmitter`
(21 production, 3 in a test). The 14 and the 21 are right.

`knip.jsonc`, `CONTRIBUTING.md` step 5 and the workflow's
failure-explanation step all described a parked backlog and a ceiling to
stay under. All three are rewritten for a gate that must simply come
back empty, and all three now name the `@public` escape hatch — the
remedy for a symbol whose only caller is out of knip's reach.

## Verification

Run against a clean worktree with **no build output**, the way CI
counts:

- `npm run knip` — **exit 0, prints nothing**. Both passes empty, no
config hints.
- `npx tsc --build` — clean.
- `npm run lint` (`eslint . --max-warnings 0`) — clean.
- `npx prettier --check .` — clean.
- `npm test --workspaces` — tool-server 329 files / 3857 passed;
registry, telemetry, update-core, tools-client, mcp, cli green.
- `npm run typecheck:tests --workspaces` — 13 workspaces define the
script and all 13 are clean, but **the command itself exits 1**: npm
errors `Missing script: "typecheck:tests"` for the three that do not
define it rather than skipping them. Worth knowing before re-running
this bullet and reading the exit code as a failure.

End-to-end on a tool-server built from this branch, driven over its HTTP
API:

- **Chromium** (Electron smoke app) — `describe`, `screenshot`,
`gesture-tap` (counter advanced 0 → 1), `POST /api/clipboard/text` read
back out of the renderer, the WS `clipboardSync` command, and
`debugger-connect` / `debugger-status` / `debugger-evaluate`
(`sourceMapReady: true` with `StubSourceMapsRegistry` gone).
- **iOS** — `boot-device`, `launch-app`, `describe` via ax-service,
`screenshot`.
- **tvOS** — `boot-device`, `launch-app` on an Apple TV udid,
focus-driven `describe`. The registry snapshot then carries
`NativeDevtools:<tvOS udid>`, confirming injection **is** resolved on
tvOS through the local impl.
- **Android** — `boot-device` on a dedicated AVD, `describe` via
android-devtools, `gesture-tap`.
- **Metro source maps** — the registry driven against a real 12.5 MB
Metro `.map` over loopback, the way `Debugger.scriptParsed` drives it:
allowlist passes and `waitForPending()` resolves on both, while retained
heap after gc drops from 17.3 MB to 3.6 MB.


## Review follow-ups

Five commits on top, one per finding. The base is back on `main`, so the
workflows run again.

- **`docs(launch-app)`** — the services comment explained the empty
shape through `LaunchAppAndroidServices`, deleted here, and skipped
`LaunchAppVegaServices`, which is still there. Same edit in
`restart-app/types.ts`.
- **`docs(registry)`** — the `@public` tag on `ArtifactStore.register`
named 2 of 7 callers. Derived the full set the way the sibling tag on
`off` prescribes: renamed the member, read the 16 `TS2339` errors `tsc
--build` reports across flow-visual (5), screenshot (4),
native-profiler-stop (2), screenshot-diff (2), native-profiler-analyze,
react-profiler-analyze and screen-recording-stop. The re-derivation
recipe is recorded too — `.register(` greps as badly as `.off(`.
- **`docs(knip)`** — "the build, the tests and this gate all stay green
on a wrong delete" held for argent-private and not for the
cross-workspace case that justifies three of the four `@public` tags.
Deleting `ArtifactStore.register` gives 16 `TS2339` errors and `9 failed
| 2 passed` in `test/artifacts.test.ts`; only the gate stays green.
Split in the workflow comment, the failure annotation and
`CONTRIBUTING.md` step 5.
- **`perf(debugger)`** — `doRegister`'s `data:` branch still
base64-decoded and `JSON.parse`d a payload it dropped, inside a `catch`
that swallows. Both arms returned the same `void`, so the branch
collapses to an early return; `scriptUrl` / `scriptId` go with it, since
their last reader was the deleted `this.maps.push(...)` and `doRegister`
is private.
- **`test(debugger)`** — the allowlist check moved to a top-level early
return with nothing pinning it: delete the line and both SSRF files
still pass 17/17. Two tests now assert `doRegister` consults it — four
rejected URLs reach no `fetch`, and the loopback `*.map` Metro emits
still does.

Re-verified after: `npm run knip` exit 0 and empty on a `tsc --build
--clean` tree, `tsc --build`, `eslint . --max-warnings 0`, `prettier
--check .` all clean, and `npm test --workspaces` with tool-server at
329 files / 3854 passed. The one red test, `argent-installer`'s
`globalPath returns ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json`, fails identically
with these commits stashed — it reads the real `~/.config/opencode`,
which holds a `.jsonc` on this machine.

End-to-end on a tool-server run from this branch over its HTTP API, on
every platform:

- **Chromium** — `launch-app`, `describe`, `screenshot` (returned an
artifact handle, `GET /artifacts/<id>` served the 137542-byte PNG back),
`gesture-tap` (counter 0 → 1), `debugger-connect` / `debugger-status`
(`sourceMapReady: true`) / `debugger-evaluate` (read `taps: 1` out of
the page).
- **iOS** — `launch-app`, `describe` via native-devtools, `restart-app`,
`screenshot`.
- **tvOS** — `launch-app`, focus-driven `describe` (12 focusables in
TVSettings), `tv-remote`, `restart-app`.
- **Android** — `launch-app`, `describe` via android-devtools,
`restart-app`, `screenshot`.
- **Vega** — `boot-device` on the `tv` VVD, `describe` via the
automation toolkit.
- **Metro** — the real `debugger-connect` / `debugger-status` /
`debugger-evaluate` tools against a stand-in Metro (HTTP `/json/list` +
CDP WebSocket) emitting three `Debugger.scriptParsed` events: a loopback
`*.map` on a counting server, a 1.4 MB inline `data:` map, and
`http://169.254.169.254/latest.map`. `sourceMapReady: true`,
`loadedScripts: 3`, evaluate 42, the loopback map fetched exactly once
and the metadata URL never. A malformed inline payload gives
byte-identical output, which is the finding.

### Merge with `main`

Putting the base back on `main` made CI resolve the merge, and the Unit
Tests job went red on a conflict no side could see on its own: `#771`
fixed the same red gate this branch's first commit did, the other way
round — it made `component-names.test.ts` import `StrippedName`,
`ComponentAnnotation` and `ComponentNameResolution` instead of dropping
their `export`. Merged `main` in, reproduced it (`tsc --noEmit -p
tsconfig.test.json` → three `TS2459`s) and took main's resolution: the
three exports are back. The gate stays green because knip treats test
files as entry points, so a type a test imports is not an unused export.

All nine workflows are green on the head commit.

Ignacy Łątka 0a6dbec87c feat(telemetry): export events via OpenTelemetry OTLP logs instead of PostHog (#570)
## What

Swaps the `posthog-node` transport for an OpenTelemetry Logs exporter.
Everything above the transport stays as it is - opt-out consent,
per-machine identity and fingerprint, the sanitizer allowlist, the typed
event surface, crash diagnostics. Only the ~3-method client boundary
changes.

One analytics event becomes one OTLP/HTTP log record:

| PostHog | OpenTelemetry |
| --- | --- |
| `capture({ event, distinctId, properties })` | `logger.emit({ body:
event, attributes: { distinct_id, "event.name", ...props } })` |
| event name | log-record `body` |
| `distinctId` | `distinct_id` attribute |
| event/base properties | log-record attributes |
| `client.shutdown()` | `LoggerProvider.shutdown()` (force-flush +
teardown) |

Records go to a hard-coded Software Mansion collector. The endpoint and
the authorization header are passed to the exporter explicitly in code,
and an explicit value beats the corresponding `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_*`
variable - the same anti-exfiltration property the fixed PostHog host
had.

## Changes

- `packages/telemetry/src/posthog.ts` becomes `otel.ts`:
`LoggerProvider` + `BatchLogRecordProcessor` + `OTLPLogExporter`
(HTTP/JSON). Queue size 20 and a 10 s flush interval mirror the old
client; the per-export deadline is 1.5 s, kept at or below `index.ts`'s
drain budget so a stalled export can't hold a short-lived command open.
- Dependencies: drop `posthog-node`, add
`@opentelemetry/{api,api-logs,sdk-logs,exporter-logs-otlp-http,resources}`.
They inline cleanly into the esbuild bundles.
- Build-time ingest token via esbuild `define`
(`ARGENT_OTEL_INGEST_TOKEN`), same mechanism as `ARGENT_CLI_VERSION`.
Unset in a dev build leaves the client unconstructed and telemetry
inert.
- Base props: drop `$process_person_profile` (a PostHog directive,
meaningless to a collector) and rename `$session_id` to `session_id`.
Null-valued attributes are dropped, since OTel rejects them -
`cloud_agent` is null on the common path, and absence means the same
thing.
- `Telemetry.md`: the "who we disclose to" and "international transfers"
sections describe a Software Mansion-operated OTLP collector instead of
PostHog as a third-party processor.

## A hang this uncovered

`timeoutMillis` only bounds a request once its socket is connected,
because the exporter applies it with `req.setTimeout()`. Against a
collector address that drops packets rather than refusing them - a
corporate egress filter, a dead host behind a firewall - the socket sits
in the connecting state where no export deadline reaches it, and the
process stays alive for the OS connect timeout: 75 s past a `shutdown()`
that had already resolved at 1.75 s.

Pairing the export deadline with an agent-level socket timeout, armed at
socket creation so it covers connection establishment too, fixes it:

| collector state | before | after |
| --- | --- | --- |
| healthy | 0.18 s, delivered | 0.18 s, delivered |
| connection refused | 0.94 s | 1.03 s |
| blackholed (http and https) | 75.0 s | 1.6 s |
| connected but never responds | - | 1.6 s |

`posthog-node` exited in 10.6 s under the same blackhole (undici aborts
a connecting socket), so this was a regression as well as a hang. A unit
test that fails without the fix guards it.

## Found in review

Each of these was reproduced before it was changed, and each is pinned
by a test that fails without the fix.

- **The environment's OTLP headers were forwarded to the collector.**
The SDK merges `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS` / `_LOGS_HEADERS` into every
request, keeping any key the code does not set itself. Out in the world
that variable holds the developer's *own* observability credential - a
Honeycomb team key, a Dynatrace `Api-Token`, Grafana Cloud basic auth -
so any machine already running OpenTelemetry shipped that third-party
secret here on every batch, without it passing the sanitizer or
appearing in `Telemetry.md`. Reproduced by watching `x-honeycomb-team:
hcaik_…` arrive at a capture server. The variables are now cleared
across the exporter constructor (where the SDK resolves its header set)
and restored after.
- **`httpAgentOptions` silently disabled connection reuse.** Supplying
it replaces the agent the SDK would build, whose default is `keepAlive:
true`. Measured on loopback: three batches shared one socket by default,
and opened three sockets with `httpAgentOptions` - a fresh TCP+TLS
handshake per 10 s batch in the long-lived tool-server. `keepAlive` is
restated alongside the timeout.
- **`markDisabled()`'s drain had no grace period.** It raced flat
against `SHORT_FLUSH_TIMEOUT_MS` while `shutdown()` allowed `timeoutMs +
250`. Since the exporter's own deadline equals that budget, the flat
race fired at the same instant and always abandoned the batch instead of
letting it finish. Both call sites share one `raceDrain()` now.
- **Export failures reached nobody.** The batch processor hands errors
to OpenTelemetry's global handler, so `LoggerProvider.shutdown()`
resolves identically for a delivered batch and a rejected token - making
`shutdown()`'s `catch` unreachable. The SDK's diagnostics are now routed
into the existing debug channel under `ARGENT_TELEMETRY_DEBUG=1`; a run
without the flag stays silent so no host application's diag logger is
disturbed.
- **The build-time token now beats the `__ARGENT_OTEL_TOKEN_TEST` seam**
rather than losing to it, so the seam reaches unbundled source only.
Verified with esbuild across all three build modes.
- **The endpoint guard test mocked the exporter it guards.** It could
only show that the code passes a `url`; an SDK upgrade that changed the
precedence would have kept it green. `otel-endpoint-live.test.ts` drives
the real exporter against loopback servers - dropping the explicit
`url`, the explicit `authorization`, or the header clearing each fails
it.
- **The wire shape had no pins at all.** Bypassing the sanitizer
entirely, sending an explicit `null`, renaming `service.name` and
dropping `event.name` all left the suite green. Four tests now fail on
those mutations. The sanitizer bypass was unpinned on `main` too.

## Before this ships

1. ~~**Collector URL**~~ - done in 8bca962f. `OTLP_LOGS_ENDPOINT` is
`https://argent-otel.swmansion.com/v1/logs`. That host serves OTLP as of
2026-08-12: a `POST` answers the OTLP-shaped `401`
(`{"code":16,"message":"provided authorization does not match expected
scheme or token"}`), where it previously `301`d to `/v1/logs/` and
`404`d there. It is a distinct host from the test collector
(`167.235.245.1` vs `46.224.172.171`, its own certificate).
2. **Ingest token** - `ARGENT_OTEL_INGEST_TOKEN` has to be set in the
release build environment. Nothing under `.github/` sets it today, so
every published artifact resolves an empty token and stays inert -
silently: with no token the client is never constructed, so a run emits
nothing and writes no `telemetry-debug.log` even under
`ARGENT_TELEMETRY_DEBUG=1`. It must be the **production** host's token:
`argent-otel.swmansion.com` runs its own token list and rejects the test
collector's.
3. **IP geolocation** - PostHog's `disableGeoip: true` set
`$geoip_disable` on every event, which is what stopped location being
derived from the source IP. There is no in-repo equivalent for a
collector, so that suppression has to be configured collector-side to
keep `Telemetry.md`'s "what we collect" list accurate.
4. **Legal** - the privacy-notice edits and the version/date bump to
1.03 are drafted to match the new architecture, but Legal should review
and finalize them. Note the notice actually served at
`TELEMETRY_DETAILS_URL` is still Version 1.01 and names PostHog as the
processor.

## Verification

Unit and integration:

- `packages/telemetry`: 293 tests pass, including the rewritten
`index.test.ts`, `otel-endpoint.test.ts` and the new
`otel-endpoint-live.test.ts`.
- Every workspace suite green on the merged branch: argent-cli 276,
argent-installer 535, argent-mcp 78, argent 60, tools-client 178,
configuration-core 83, registry 87, tool-server 3070, update-core 31,
archive 11.
- `bundle-tools.cjs` leaves no `posthog` in any of the four bundles.
OTel is inlined into the three that emit - `cli-cmds.mjs`,
`installer.mjs`, `tool-server.cjs` - each carrying the endpoint and the
token define as string literals. `mcp-server.mjs` carries none: it is a
stdio shim over the tool-server, which is the process that reports.
- `lint`, `prettier --check`, `tsc --build`, the `tsconfig.test.json`
gate and `npm install --package-lock-only` (idempotent on Node 24) all
clean.

Ignacy Łątka c876fe8dbc ci: add knip anti-dead-code gate (#572)
## What

Adds a CI gate for dead code, using [Knip](https://knip.dev).

We didn't have one. ESLint's `no-unused-vars` only sees unused locals
inside a module, so whole files nobody imports, exports nobody uses, and
dependencies declared but never required all slipped through. Knip
covers that gap in one tool (roughly `ts-prune` + `depcheck` +
`unimported` combined).

The new `.github/workflows/knip.yml` workflow ("Dead Code", job `Knip`)
runs `npm run knip` on push and PR to `main`. `CONTRIBUTING.md`'s
pull-request checklist gains it as a step, with the reason it has to run
against a tree with no build output. Knip reads source directly, mapping
each package's `dist` entry back to `src`, so the job needs no workspace
build. It installs with `--ignore-scripts`: an analysis that only reads
`package.json` and source gains nothing from the seven packages here
that carry a native install script, six of which reach this runner
(`fsevents` is darwin-only). Five try a prebuilt binary before
compiling, and `dtrace-provider` always runs node-gyp but ends in `||
node suppress-error.js` — and off mac/solaris/freebsd its `binding.gyp`
picks a stub target with no sources, so on ubuntu-latest node-gyp builds
nothing for it and `node-pty` is the only package that reaches a
compiler at all — an `optionalDependency`, whose failure npm ignores.
The exposure is a bump that leaves a package with no prebuild for the
runner, which is exactly what `dependabot.yml` pins `tree-sitter`
against (0.25.0 ships no Node 24 prebuild and its compile breaks `npm
ci`).

While adding it I checked whether any other installed checker was
missing a gate. None were: ESLint (`lint.yml`), Prettier (`format.yml`),
`tsc` build + `typecheck:tests` + `typecheck:scripts` + vitest
(`unit-tests.yml`), the workspace-version / focused-test / merge-marker
checks (`repo-hygiene.yml`) and lockfile sync (`lockfile.yml`) are all
already enforced. Dead code was the only gap.

## How it's enforced

`npm run knip` is two invocations:

```
knip --exclude exports,types && knip --include exports,types,classMembers,nsExports,nsTypes --max-issues 206
```

Every issue type knip reports is an error — that is its default
severity, so `knip.jsonc` sets no `rules` block at all. The pre-existing
backlog is bounded by the `--max-issues` ceiling on the second pass
instead of being hidden behind a non-failing severity: it cannot grow
unnoticed, and the number comes down as follow-up passes pay it off.
When a change legitimately adds an export nothing imports yet, the
number moves up in the same commit — that bump is what review should
see, rather than the contributor deleting someone else's backlog to make
room. Two PRs making that identical one-line edit merge without
conflicting, so `main` lands one short of the truth and its
push-triggered run is what catches it. Splitting the passes also keeps a
real failure out from under the backlog — the enforced classes report on
their own, and the second pass only runs once the first is clean.

The second pass names `classMembers`, `nsExports` and `nsTypes`
explicitly because they sit in knip's own `defaultExcludedIssueTypes`:
`--exclude exports,types` never covered them and `--include
exports,types` did not ask for them, so a new unused class member cost
nothing and moving an export behind opaque namespace use took it out of
the ceiling's scope entirely. `classMembers` has 12 findings on the
unbuilt tree the ceiling counts (9 on a built one); the other two have
none today. None of the three is gated at zero — all five parked classes
share the one ceiling, so a new `nsExports` finding passes if something
else in the backlog is retired in the same PR. Naming `classMembers`
also turns knip's `isSkipLibs` off (`create-options.js:122`), which
makes it search declaration files for external references and
**suppresses** 44 export/type findings the same run reports without it —
57/181 becomes 44/150. That, not the 12 findings it adds, is why the
ceiling is lower than the two counts alone would suggest;
`--include-libs` with no `classMembers` reproduces 44/150 exactly.

The ceiling counts what CI counts, against a tree with no build output.
Whether a workspace's `main`/`types` path resolves to an existing file
changes the result, and not by way of anything in that file — a
zero-byte `packages/registry/dist/index.js` moves the count just as a
real build does, while a zero-byte `dist/zzz.js` does nothing. A built
tree reports fewer issues — 43/147/9 = 199 built, against 44/150/12 =
206 unbuilt — so `npm run knip` passing after a local `tsc --build` is
not evidence the job will pass, which is how the Knip job first went red
on 199. The ceiling is 206 and it is exact: 206 passes, 205 fails.
Remove every `dist/` before trusting a number from it.

The ceiling is one total across those classes, so it bounds the backlog
rather than each class: paying off one parked export licences one new
one elsewhere in the same PR. Knip has no per-class ceiling.

`treatConfigHintsAsErrors` is on, so an exemption that stops suppressing
anything fails the job rather than printing a hint below the backlog.

## Config

`knip.jsonc` documents the false positives so the gate is both green and
meaningful.

- **`@swmansion/argent`** is a thin dispatcher whose real payload is an
esbuild bundle of the other workspaces
(`packages/argent/scripts/bundle-tools.cjs`). Knip can't follow imports
across that boundary, so packages consumed only by the bundled-in code
read as unused; 11 are exempted by name here, though not all for that
reason — the http3-quiche transport is pulled in by
`@fails-components/webtransport` itself at runtime, and no first-party
file imports it. They're exempted **by name**, not behind a catch-all:
`ignoreDependencies` also suppresses `unlisted`, and a pattern that
matches everything would take this workspace's own `src/` and `scripts/`
out of that check — where an import with no matching declaration is a
genuine bug rather than a bundler artifact. (It reaches `unresolved`
only nominally: knip matches the list against a package name parsed out
of the specifier, and an unresolvable relative path yields none, so even
a catch-all leaves those reported. `ignoreUnresolved` is the option that
does silence them.)
- **`tool-server`** reaches a few packages in ways static analysis can't
see. The exemptions cover two distinct classes, kept apart in the config
so each stated reason matches the finding it silences:
- *declared but loaded too dynamically to detect* (would be reported as
**unused dependencies**): `tree-sitter` / `tree-sitter-typescript` via
dynamic `_require`, and the http3-quiche transport as a runtime
companion of `@fails-components/webtransport`;
- *imported but deliberately absent from that `package.json`* (would be
reported as **unlisted dependencies**): `sharp` (kept out so the ~30 MB
native binary isn't a cost every consumer pays) and `electron` (an
`optionalDependency` of the published package at one call site, the
Electron main-process API at the other).
- Root `scripts/`: knip resolves those from `package.json` scripts
**and** from `run:` steps in `.github/workflows` via its github-actions
plugin — multi-line `run: |` blocks included. What the plugin doesn't
parse is a PowerShell body, so `scripts/ci/windows-chromium-e2e.mjs` —
invoked at `windows-e2e.yml:176`, in the `windows-latest` job where
PowerShell is the default shell — is the one entry declared by hand.

### Known limits

- `ignoreDependencies` exempts a package **name across its whole
workspace**, in both directions; knip has nothing narrower. While
`sharp` is listed for `tool-server`, an undeclared `import "sharp"`
anywhere in that workspace passes too. The list is held to packages that
genuinely cannot be declared, for exactly that reason.
- Knip analyzes JavaScript and TypeScript only (`DEFAULT_EXTENSIONS`),
so **only 11 of the 30 files under `scripts/` are in the gate at all**.
The other 19 — 15 `.sh` files, `e2e-full/lib/report.py`,
`ci/e2e-chromium-page.html`, and e2e-full's `README.md` and
`results/.gitignore` — are invisible to it however they are reached —
including the whole `scripts/e2e-full/` harness (13 files), invoked from
nothing outside its own directory, its only mention elsewhere being a
`.prettierignore` entry.
- Reachability's widest hole is the workspace entry. Whatever
`src/index.ts` re-exports is reached, so a single `export { x } from
"./dead-module";` takes that module out of `files` altogether — verified
against a module reported as an unused file one run earlier. The same
line applied to parked exports retires them from the count without
deleting anything: re-exporting `equalsCI`, `includesCI` and `Settled`
from `tool-server`'s entry takes 206 to 203 and frees three ceiling
slots. The ceiling bounds what knip can see, not what is dead.
- Test files are entry points, so a production module kept alive only by
its own test still passes `files`. Being reached by a test says nothing
about being reachable in production, which is what the check
approximates, and two modules sit in exactly that gap: `tools/paste` is
imported by two test files and registered by nothing, so it is
unreachable over MCP and HTTP, and `utils/ios-profiler/lifecycle.ts` is
a re-export barrel whose header keeps it "for source compatibility with
existing imports", of which its own test is now the only one — its four
production consumers all import `profiler-shared/lifecycle` directly.
That single test import is exactly what keeps `files` from reporting it:
repoint it and knip returns `Unused files (1)`. `knip --production` is
the lens that reports the class; the repo isn't clean under it — 13
unused files (those two, seven root scripts,
`packages/argent/scripts/{bundle-tools,observe,sync-readme}.cjs` and
`packages/registry/tests/helpers.ts`) with the export/type backlog at
227/206 — measured with `classMembers` off, so comparable to the 57/181
above rather than to the ceiling's 44/150 — so a production-mode pass is
a follow-up of its own.
- The same entry treatment hides the test trees themselves. Root
`package.json`'s `test:scripts` runs `node --test`, which is what makes
knip's node plugin contribute its test entries, and that plugin
registers four entry patterns in **every** workspace: `**/test/**`, plus
`*{.,-,_}test.<ext>`, `test-*.<ext>` and `test.<ext>` matched anywhere.
So none of the **380** JS/TS files under `packages/*/test/` can be
reported unused, and under `packages/*/tests/` only a name none of those
three match can — of today's 15 that is `registry/tests/helpers.ts`
alone, which is why it is the lone `tests/` entry in the `--production`
list above. A `tests/test-utils.ts` or `tests/test.ts` would be just as
invisible. A dead `zz.test.ts` planted in `packages/registry/tests/`
passes; a dead `zz-helper.ts` in the same directory fails.
- `knip@5.88.1` is the last 5.x release ever published — 6.0.0 landed
the next day and `latest` is now 6.x. The pin is deliberate: knip 6
removed the `classMembers` issue type outright, and the shipped script
hard-errors on it (`ERROR: Invalid issue type: classMembers`, exit 2).
Upgrading is therefore not a version bump — it means re-deriving the
ceiling, rewriting the paragraph that explains it, and resolving the
pass-1 findings knip 6 adds (six unlisted binaries: `tail`, `plutil`,
`xctrace`, `netstat`, `pkill`, `pgrep`; two unresolved imports:
`/usr/bin/osascript`, `/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy`). Dependabot's
`npm-minor-patch` group cannot move it, since no 5.x exists above
5.88.1; the `npm-major` group will keep offering the 6.x jump.
- Knip folds `optionalDependencies` into the declared set, so importing
`electron` or `node-pty` is not `unlisted` — they pass because it read
them. What it never reports is an optionalDependency nothing uses, so
only that direction is outside the gate, along with `argent-cli`'s
runtime `req("node-pty")`, resolved through a
`createRequire(import.meta.url)` in `lens-pty.ts`, which knip can't see
either.

## Dead code this found

- `@types/semver` and `@argent/telemetry` from `packages/argent` — both
were being suppressed by exemptions whose stated bundler-boundary reason
could not apply. esbuild strips types and never resolves `@types/*`, and
`packages/argent` names `semver` nowhere; `@argent/telemetry` is aliased
to an absolute source path by `bundle-tools.cjs`, so the declaration
bought nothing. Removing them is proved safe by building: four of the
five bundles still emit and telemetry is inlined in each with no runtime
`require` of it. The fifth, preview-window's main, sits behind a
downloaded native asset absent from a script-free install, so it is
covered by mechanism rather than observation — `bundle-tools.cjs` passes
the same `alias` map to every build, and esbuild's `alias` bypasses node
resolution entirely: deleting `node_modules/@argent/telemetry` outright
leaves all four emitted bundles byte-identical.
Removed alongside, but **not** gate-reported: the `benchmark` npm script
in `packages/argent`, whose `scripts/benchmark.cjs` does not exist. A
dangling script target is a blind spot of this gate — restoring the
script leaves knip at exit 0.

- Four files with no importers: the `render-hook` injected script,
react-profiler's `source-map` + `snippet-extractor`, and
`scripts/setup-in-workspace.cjs` (referenced nowhere, and its own usage
string names a `scripts/setup-project.cjs` that doesn't exist).
- `superagent` in `tool-server`'s `test/http-streaming.test.ts` —
imported for a type but declared in no manifest in the repo, resolving
only through npm hoisting of supertest's own dependency. Reverting that
import to `superagent` reports `Unlisted dependencies (1) … :3:32` and
exits 1; `@types/supertest/index.d.ts:10` re-exports the identical type
(`type Response = superagent.Response`).
- `@clack/prompts` and `@moq/lite` from `tool-server`'s `package.json` —
declared, imported nowhere. (`@moq/net` is the one actually used;
`@moq/lite` isn't a peer of it.)

Also deleted here, but **not** something this gate reported:
`src/tools/simulator/simulator-server.ts`. It sat in the `files` blind
spot above — `interaction-messages.test.ts` imported it, which is enough
to count as reached. `setup-registry.ts` never registers it, so it was
unreachable over MCP and HTTP, and that catalog roll-call was its only
reference; the import and the catalog count (77 → 76) went with it.

## Lockfile

Adding knip moves two transitive packages: `@napi-rs/wasm-runtime` 1.1.5
→ 1.1.6 and `@tybys/wasm-util` 0.10.2 → 0.10.3. Knip pulls in
`@oxc-resolver/binding-wasm32-wasi`, which floors
`@napi-rs/wasm-runtime` at `^1.1.6`, lifting the hoisted entry that had
resolved to 1.1.5 for `@rolldown/binding-wasm32-wasi`'s `^1.1.4`, which
then cascades to `@tybys/wasm-util`. No runtime impact — both are
support packages for the wasm32-wasi fallback bindings, which don't get
installed where a native binding exists; `npm ls` reports both
extraneous on darwin-arm64. Those two are the only resolved versions
that change in the diff; the rest is knip's own tree (49 packages added)
and `@moq/lite` removed.

## Verification

- `npm run knip` exits 0.
- **Coverage of the enforced set.** With no `rules` block, knip's
included set is 15 issue types: ten enforced at zero tolerance by the
first pass, plus the five the second pass names under the ceiling.
Eleven mutations cover all ten, each flipping the gate to exit 1 and
back to 0 on revert:

  | class | mutation |
  | --- | --- |
| `files` | a throwaway `.mjs` in `scripts/`; a throwaway `.ts` in
`packages/argent/src` |
| `dependencies` | a bogus declared dep in
`packages/tool-server/package.json` |
  | `devDependencies` | a bogus declared devDep in the same manifest |
| `optionalPeerDependencies` | `bytes` moved to an optional
`peerDependency` there |
  | `unlisted` | an undeclared import in `packages/argent/src/cli.ts` |
  | `unresolved` | an unresolvable relative specifier in the same file |
| `binaries` | a root `package.json` script invoking a nonexistent
binary |
| `duplicates` | `export default sleep` alongside the existing named
export in `utils/timing.ts` |
| `enumMembers` | an unused member on an enum a second module imports
and uses |
| `catalog` | a `catalog` block in the root `package.json` naming a
package nothing uses |

One nuance worth recording: `duplicates` is narrower than it looks. It
reports a symbol exported both by name and as `default`
(`sleep|default`); a second *named* alias of the same symbol is not a
duplicate, and a freshly added symbol nothing references is not reported
at all — so several naive probes read as a miss.

`enumMembers` needed a shape the repo does not currently contain, not an
unreachable one. The only exported enum here, `ServiceState`, is
re-exported through `@argent/registry`'s entry, where knip counts
exports as used, so an unused member added to it is **not** reported —
but an enum in a non-entry module that another module imports and uses
does report one (`Blue ZzColor …/zz-enum.ts:3:3`, exit 1; deleting the
unused member returns exit 0). That is the ninth of the ten covered.

`catalog` is reachable here despite the repo using npm workspaces:
knip's catalog loader falls back to `manifest.catalog` when there is no
pnpm or yarn workspace file, so a `catalog` block in the root
`package.json` reports `Unused catalog entries (1)` and exits 1.
- The two new mechanisms discriminate as well: one extra unused export
takes the backlog to 207 and fails the ceiling, and a stale
`ignoreDependencies` entry produces `Configuration hints (1) … Remove
from ignoreDependencies` and exit 1.
- `npm ci --ignore-scripts` in a clean worktree, followed by `npx knip`,
is green — the job doesn't need any of the postinstalls it now skips.
- `tsc --build`, `typecheck:tests` (all workspaces),
`typecheck:scripts`, `test:scripts`, `eslint . --max-warnings 0`,
`prettier --check .` and the full workspace vitest suite (4711 passed, 3
skipped across 13 workspaces; 3070 of those are `@argent/tool-server`
alone) are green; `package-lock.json` is untouched by the review pass.
