+**knip** ([knip.ts](knip.ts)) guards dead exports, unused files, and unused dependencies. Its nuxt plugin resolves auto-imports through the generated `.nuxt` maps, so unused components, stores, and utils **are** detected despite having no import statements. Remaining blind spots, documented in the config: `app/composables` are entry points (the auto-import map does not connect their `export default function useX` style, so their internal exports are unreported), and `app/components/shadcn/` is ignored (vendored spares are expected). Knip's `unlisted` check is **off** by policy: the hoisted node_modules layout makes transitive packages importable, that is relied on deliberately, and `package.json` declares top-level intent only. Knip runs with `--cache`, and the cache is keyed by knip version, **not** config — after editing [knip.ts](knip.ts), run `rm -rf node_modules/.cache/knip` or results are stale.
 
 TypeScript strictness (set in [nuxt.config.ts](nuxt.config.ts)): `noUnusedLocals`, `noUnusedParameters`, `noUncheckedIndexedAccess`, `noImplicitOverride`, `verbatimModuleSyntax`, and `noImplicitAny` all on; `allowUnreachableCode: false` (mirrored in [electron/tsconfig.json](electron/tsconfig.json)). Path aliases `@/*` and `~/*` both point to `app/*`.
