Dead Code Analysis Report¶
Note: This page is a point-in-time status snapshot and may be out of date relative to the current source. PRs welcome.
Date: November 25, 2025
Status: Analysis Complete
Codebase: /apps/web/src/
📊 Executive Summary¶
This comprehensive analysis identified dead code across the Mentat Protocol web application. The codebase contains approximately 42 source files with several areas requiring cleanup and consolidation.
Key Findings: - ~250-300 lines of truly dead code can be safely removed - ~1,100 lines of skeleton/planned code (should be kept but clearly marked) - 10+ unused API wrapper functions (bypassed by direct apiClient calls) - 3-4 duplicate type definitions across multiple files - 1 completely unused component (AuthModal.vue)

Low Priority - Keep but Mark Clearly¶
- Skeleton Code (Planned Features)
services/solanaProgram.ts(480 lines)composables/useSolana.ts(118 lines)stores/trading.ts(499 lines)- Add clear status markers/comments
🔍 Detailed Findings¶
1. UNUSED FILES¶
1.1 Skeleton Services (KEEP - Future Use)¶
File: src/services/solanaProgram.ts (480 lines)
// Status: SKELETON - Awaiting Solana program deployment
// TODO: Implement once programs deployed to devnet
File: src/composables/useSolana.ts (118 lines)
File: src/stores/trading.ts (499 lines)
// Status: SKELETON - Awaiting backend integration
// All methods throw "not yet implemented" errors
1.2 Truly Unused (DELETE)¶
File: src/components/AuthModal.vue (~70 lines)
- Why Dead: Never imported, authentication simplified to wallet-only
- Evidence: Only found in README.md
- Action: DELETE - Auth flow clarified in AUTH-FLOW-CLARIFICATION.md
File: src/stores/README.md (448 lines)
- Why Wrong Location: Documentation in source directory
- Action: MOVE to /docs directory
2. UNUSED EXPORTS¶
2.1 API Service (src/services/api.ts)¶
Function: fetchUserMarkets() (line 63)
Function: fetchDraftDetail() (line 87)
mockApi.getDraftDetail() instead
- Usage: None
- Action: DELETE
Function: createDraft() (line 92)
Function: updateDraft() (line 97)
Function: fetchCuratorQueue() (line 118)
apiClient.get() calls
- Usage: None
- Action: DELETE or refactor CuratorConsole to use it
Function: claimDraft() (line 125)
Function: approveDraft() (line 130)
export async function approveDraft(draftId: string, curatorId: string, comments: string): Promise<void>
Function: requestChanges() (line 138)
export async function requestChanges(draftId: string, curatorId: string, changes: any[], comments: string): Promise<void>
Function: rejectDraft() (line 149)
export async function rejectDraft(draftId: string, curatorId: string, reason: string): Promise<void>
Function: fetchDraftActions() (line 156)
2.2 Network Config (src/config/network.ts)¶
Function: getNetworkBadgeText() (line 57)
network.displayName directly
- Action: DELETE
Function: isTestnetEnvironment() (line 65)
network.isTestnet directly
- Action: DELETE
2.3 AI Agents (src/services/aiAgents.ts)¶
Function: validateDraft() (line 130)
3. DUPLICATE TYPE DEFINITIONS¶
3.1 MarketState Type (3 Definitions!)¶
Location 1: src/types/index.ts (line 1)
export type MarketState = 'draft' | 'pending' | 'active' | 'locked' | 'resolved' | 'invalid' | 'disputed';
Location 2: src/types/api.ts (line 47)
export type MarketState = 'draft' | 'pending_launch' | 'active' | 'locked' | 'resolved' | 'invalid' | 'disputed';
pending_launch instead of pending
Location 3: src/types/trading.ts (line 29)
export enum MarketState {
OPEN = 0,
LOCKED = 1,
RESOLVED = 2,
DISPUTED = 3,
INVALID = 4,
CLOSED = 5,
}
Issue: Three conflicting definitions Action: - Keep api.ts version as source of truth (matches backend) - Update types/index.ts to re-export from api.ts - Keep trading.ts enum separate (it's for on-chain state)
3.2 Outcome Interface (3 Versions)¶
Location 1: src/types/index.ts (line 10)
Location 2: src/types/api.ts (line 49)
Location 3: src/types/trading.ts (line 38)
Issue: Three different structures for outcomes
Action:
- Use MarketOutcome from api.ts for API responses
- Create frontend Outcome type that extends/adapts MarketOutcome
- Keep trading.ts Outcome separate (has on-chain data)
3.3 MarketDetail Interface (2 Versions)¶
Location 1: src/types/index.ts (line 34)
export interface MarketDetail extends Market {
description: string;
sources: Source[];
trading_data?: TradingData;
participants?: number;
volume?: number;
created_at?: string;
}
Location 2: src/types/api.ts (line 83)
export interface MarketDetail {
id: string;
question_text: string;
description?: string;
// ... 18 more fields
}
Issue: Two different structures Action: - Keep api.ts version as source of truth - Use adapters.ts to transform to frontend version - Consider removing types/index.ts version
3.4 ProofJob & CreatorMetric (Duplicated)¶
Location 1: src/types/index.ts (lines 119, 128)
export interface ProofJob {
id: string;
market_id: string;
// ...
}
export interface CreatorMetric {
total_markets: number;
active_markets: number;
// ...
}
Location 2: src/services/api.ts (lines 168, 177)
interface ProofJob {
id: string;
market_id: string;
// ... (identical)
}
interface CreatorMetric {
total_markets: number;
active_markets: number;
// ... (identical)
}
Issue: Exact duplicates Action: Remove from services/api.ts, import from types/index.ts
4. ARCHITECTURE INCONSISTENCY¶
CuratorConsole Direct API Calls¶
File: src/views/CuratorConsole.vue
Issue: Uses direct apiClient.get() calls instead of wrapper functions:
// Line 45 - Direct call
const response = await apiClient.get<DraftSummary[]>('/curator/queue');
// Should use:
import { fetchCuratorQueue } from '@/services/api';
const drafts = await fetchCuratorQueue();
Other direct calls:
- Line 61: apiClient.post('/curator/claim')
- Line 89: apiClient.post('/curator/approve')
- Line 104: apiClient.post('/curator/request-changes')
Action: - Option A: Refactor CuratorConsole to use api.ts wrapper functions - Option B: Delete unused wrapper functions from api.ts (current approach)
Recommendation: Option A is better for consistency, but Option B is pragmatic given current state.
5. COMMENTED CODE¶
Anchor Imports (Keep - Planned)¶
File: src/services/solanaProgram.ts
// Lines 2-3
// import { AnchorProvider, Program, Idl } from '@coral-xyz/anchor';
// import type { MarketFactory } from '../idl/market_factory';
// Lines 46-47
// private marketFactoryProgram: Program<MarketFactory> | null = null;
// private marketSettlementProgram: Program | null = null;
// Lines 64-68
// if (!this.marketFactoryProgram || !this.marketSettlementProgram) {
// throw new Error('Solana programs not initialized. Call initialize() first.');
// }
Status: Waiting for Solana program deployment Action: KEEP - Add clear TODO comment explaining why commented
6. ROUTES ANALYSIS¶
File: src/router/index.ts
All routes are properly linked and accessible:
- ✅ / → DiscoveryHub (home page)
- ✅ /market/:id → MarketDetail (linked from cards)
- ✅ /create → CreatorStudio (header nav)
- ✅ /curate → CuratorConsole (header nav)
- ✅ /proofs → ProofSubmission (header nav)
- ✅ /account → AccountDashboard (header nav - removed from UI but route exists)
Note: /account route exists but link was removed from header in auth flow simplification. Consider if this route should be deleted or re-added.
7. UNUSED CSS¶
File: src/styles/global.css
All CSS classes are actively used:
- ✅ .card, .card__title, .card__meta - Used in all views
- ✅ .grid, .grid.two, .grid.three - Layout grids
- ✅ .pill, .pill.draft, etc. - Status badges
- ✅ button.cta, button.ghost - Buttons
- ✅ .view-content, .view-header - View containers
Action: No cleanup needed
8. EMPTY DIRECTORIES¶
Directory: src/assets/
- Status: Empty (only . and ..)
- Action: Consider adding .gitkeep or removing

✅ Action Plan¶
Phase 1: Safe Deletions (Start Here)¶
- ✅ Delete unused API wrapper functions
- ✅ Delete AuthModal.vue component
- ✅ Delete unused helper functions from network.ts
- ✅ Delete validateDraft() from aiAgents.ts
- ✅ Move stores/README.md to /docs
Phase 2: Type Consolidation¶
- ⏳ Consolidate MarketState definitions
- ⏳ Consolidate Outcome interfaces
- ⏳ Consolidate MarketDetail interfaces
- ⏳ Remove duplicate ProofJob/CreatorMetric from api.ts
Phase 3: Documentation¶
- ⏳ Add status comments to skeleton files
- ⏳ Update TODOs with issue tracking numbers
- ⏳ Create PLANNED-FEATURES.md document
🎯 Files Requiring Status Markers¶
Add clear markers to skeleton code:
/**
* IMPLEMENTATION STATUS: SKELETON
*
* This service is waiting for:
* - Solana programs to be deployed to devnet
* - Program IDL files to be generated
* - Program IDs to be configured
*
* Once ready, uncomment Anchor imports and implement methods.
*
* Tracking: Issue #XXX
*/
Files needing markers:
1. src/services/solanaProgram.ts
2. src/composables/useSolana.ts
3. src/stores/trading.ts
4. src/types/trading.ts
🔧 Testing After Cleanup¶
Build Test¶
Type Check¶
Runtime Test¶
npm run dev
# Test all routes still work:
# - / (home)
# - /market/:id
# - /create
# - /curate
# - /proofs
Features to Verify¶
- ✅ Market discovery works
- ✅ Market detail pages load
- ✅ Creator studio functions
- ✅ Curator console functions
- ✅ Proof submission works
- ✅ Network indicators show correctly
📊 Conclusion¶
The codebase is well-structured with most "dead code" actually being planned features waiting for backend/blockchain implementation.
True dead code: ~205 lines (can be safely removed) Duplicate code: ~150 lines (should be consolidated) Skeleton code: ~1,100 lines (keep but mark clearly)
Primary issues: 1. CuratorConsole bypasses API wrapper layer 2. Multiple conflicting type definitions 3. One truly unused component (AuthModal) 4. Lack of clear status markers on skeleton code
Recommended approach: - Delete true dead code (Phase 1) - Consolidate types (Phase 2) - Add clear markers (Phase 3) - Create PLANNED-FEATURES.md to track skeleton code
