- Multiple test files with unused typing imports

**Code Audit Files:**
- `./code_audit/analyze_actual_usage.py` - Multiple unused typing imports
- `./code_audit/analyze_codebase.py` - Multiple unused imports

**Verdict:** LOW IMPACT - Most unused imports are in test/audit files

- `get_default_config` in 6 different plugins (potential consolidation opportunity)
- `handle_input` in 5 different widget classes (expected pattern)
- `get_status_line` in 4 different services

**Verdict:** HIGH IMPACT - Class duplicates need immediate attention

---

## 4. Large File Analysis

### Files Over 50KB

**1. ./core/io/input_handler.py (89KB)**

  - `input_validation.py` - Input validation logic
  - `input_history.py` - History management

**2. ./core/llm/llm_service.py (53KB)**
- **Issue:** Large service class
- **Recommendation:** Extract specialized services
  - `conversation_service.py` - Conversation management
  - `message_service.py` - Message handling
  - `config_service.py` - Configuration management

**3. ./plugins/hook_monitoring_plugin.py (52KB)**

## 5. Backup Files Cleanup

### Critical Cleanup Required

**239 Backup Files:**
- Location: `./backups/` directory
- Total size: Estimated 50-100MB
- Pattern: `filename_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.bak`
- Age: Files from September 2024

**Recommendations:**
1. **Immediate:** Delete all backup files older than 30 days
2. **Archive:** Keep only the 10 most recent backup files
3. **Automate:** Implement backup rotation policy
4. **Git:** Use git history for code backup instead

**Estimated Space Savings:** 50-100MB

## Conclusion

The codebase shows good architectural design with a solid plugin system and comprehensive testing. However, there are significant opportunities for cleanup and optimization:

1. **Immediate wins** from backup file cleanup and duplicate resolution
2. **Medium-term improvements** from file modularization
3. **Long-term benefits** from consistent patterns and enhanced testing

The dead code analysis reveals a healthy codebase with typical growth patterns. The cleanup effort will improve maintainability, performance, and developer experience while reducing technical debt.

**Priority 1:** Backup cleanup and duplicate resolution
**Priority 2:** File modularization and import cleanup
**Priority 3:** Pattern standardization and TODO completion

This systematic cleanup will result in a leaner, more maintainable codebase with improved performance and developer experience.
