 ### Unused code
 
 `vp run knip:check` checks unused files and dependencies across the repo, then

+unused runtime exports in `apps/web` and every internal package under `packages/`.
+CI enforces both checks.
 Exported types and Effect schemas are allowed without consumers. The schema preprocessor
 recognizes schema types, including aliases and schema classes; functions that create or decode
 schemas remain checked. Completely unused files remain checked too.
+Named exports in web UI component modules are kept as complete component sets. Knip ignores
+unused exports in `apps/web/src/components/ui/*.tsx`, while still reporting an entire unused file.
 Use `vp run knip --workspace apps/web` to audit one workspace, including exports,
 or `vp run knip:production --workspace apps/web` to find code kept alive only by tests.
 The full export audit still has findings and is not a repo-wide CI gate. Extend the
