-# 029 — Remove unused crates and dependencies
-
-## Summary
-
-Audit `Cargo.toml` and `webapp/package.json` for dependencies that are
-declared but not actually used, and remove them.
-
-## Scope
-
-- Check each `[dependencies]`/`[dev-dependencies]` entry in `Cargo.toml`
-  against actual usage (e.g. `cargo +nightly udeps`, or grepping for each
-  crate's root module name), same for `webapp/package.json` (e.g. `npx
-  depcheck`).
-- Remove anything unused. If a dependency was added ahead of a specific
-  ticket that hasn't landed yet (e.g. `fs-embed` before
-  [028](028-fs-embed-static-bundling.md) wires it in), leave it — this ticket
-  is about dead weight, not blocking in-flight work.
-- Re-run the full test suite and a production webapp build after pruning to
-  confirm nothing silently depended on a "removed" package.
-
-## Acceptance criteria
-
-- No dependency remains in either manifest without a corresponding usage in
-  the codebase.
-- `cargo test` and the webapp build both pass after pruning.
-
-## Depends on
-
-None.
