Workflow

Quick Cleanup

1. Run

   addon.deadcode

   with

   include_suspicious=false

   for high-confidence issues only
2. Remove identified dead code
3. Run

   docs.stale

   to find documentation issues
4. Fix broken links and update outdated references

Deep Cleanup

1. Run

   addon.deadcode

   with all confidence levels
2. Manually verify suspicious findings before removal
3. Run

   docs.stale

   with all techniques
4. Update documentation to match current code

Confidence Interpretation

Best Practices

1. Start with definite issues — These are safe to fix immediately
2. Check dynamic patterns —

   _G

   ,

   rawget

   ,

   loadstring

   may hide usage
3. Preserve intentional dead code — Mark with

   -- KEEP:

   comment if needed
4. Update docs after code changes — Run

   docs.stale

   after refactoring
