Safe to Remove Now
Item: [Name/Description]
| Field | Details |
|---|---|
| Location | path/to/file.go:line |
| Rationale | Why this should be removed |
| Evidence | Unused (no references), dead feature flag, deprecated API |
| Impact | None / Low - no active consumers |
| Deletion steps | 1. Remove code 2. Remove tests 3. Remove config |
| Verification | Run tests, check no runtime errors, monitor logs |
Defer Removal (Plan Required)
Item: [Name/Description]
| Field | Details |
|---|---|
| Location | path/to/file.go:line |
| Why defer | Active consumers, needs migration, stakeholder sign-off |
| Preconditions | Feature flag off for 2 weeks, telemetry shows 0 usage |
| Breaking changes | List any API/contract changes |
| Migration plan | Steps for consumers to migrate |
| Timeline | Target date or sprint |
| Owner | Person/team responsible |
| Validation | Metrics to confirm safe removal (error rates, usage counts) |
| Rollback plan | How to restore if issues found |
Checklist Before Removal
- Searched codebase for all references (
rg,grep) - Checked for dynamic/reflection-based usage
- Verified no external consumers (APIs, SDKs, docs)
- Feature flag telemetry reviewed (if applicable)
- Tests updated/removed
- Documentation updated
- Team notified (if shared code)
