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Note: This page is a point-in-time status snapshot and may be out of date relative to the current source.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)

🔍 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
- Why Unused: Solana programs not yet deployed - Status: 13 TODO comments throughout - Action: KEEP - Add status comment at top of file

File: src/composables/useSolana.ts (118 lines)

// Status: READY - Not yet integrated
// TODO: Integrate for blockchain RPC calls
- Why Unused: Not integrated into components yet - Action: KEEP - Will be needed for blockchain features

File: src/stores/trading.ts (499 lines)

// Status: SKELETON - Awaiting backend integration
// All methods throw "not yet implemented" errors
- Why Unused: Only in README.md, not in components - Action: KEEP - Part of planned trading features

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

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';
Note: Different - has 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,
}
Note: Completely different - enum with numeric values for on-chain

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)

export interface Outcome {
  index: number;
  text: string;
  odds?: number;
}

Location 2: src/types/api.ts (line 49)

export interface MarketOutcome {
  id: string;
  text: string;
  order: number;
}

Location 3: src/types/trading.ts (line 38)

export interface Outcome {
  index: number;
  text: string;
  price: number;
  shares: bigint;
}

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


📈 Cleanup Impact

Immediate Removals

Type Lines Files
Unused API functions ~100 1
AuthModal component ~70 1
Unused helpers ~15 1
validateDraft function ~20 1
Total ~205 4

Consolidations

Type Lines Affected Files
MarketState types ~30 3
Outcome interfaces ~40 3
MarketDetail interfaces ~60 2
Duplicate types ~20 2
Total ~150 10

Grand Total

  • Lines to remove: ~205
  • Lines to consolidate: ~150
  • Total cleanup: ~355 lines (8-9% of codebase)
  • Skeleton code to keep: ~1,100 lines

✅ Action Plan

Phase 1: Safe Deletions (Start Here)

  1. ✅ Delete unused API wrapper functions
  2. ✅ Delete AuthModal.vue component
  3. ✅ Delete unused helper functions from network.ts
  4. ✅ Delete validateDraft() from aiAgents.ts
  5. ✅ Move stores/README.md to /docs

Phase 2: Type Consolidation

  1. ⏳ Consolidate MarketState definitions
  2. ⏳ Consolidate Outcome interfaces
  3. ⏳ Consolidate MarketDetail interfaces
  4. ⏳ Remove duplicate ProofJob/CreatorMetric from api.ts

Phase 3: Documentation

  1. ⏳ Add status comments to skeleton files
  2. ⏳ Update TODOs with issue tracking numbers
  3. ⏳ 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

npm run build
# Should succeed with no errors

Type Check

npx tsc --noEmit
# Should pass with no errors

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
