-# Granular Review Protocol: Codebase Curation
-
-This protocol defines the mandatory procedure for auditing and modifying files during the Phase 5 Heavy Curation. It is designed to minimize entropy and prevent regression propagation.
-
-## 1. File-by-File Audit Cycle
-
-For every `.py` file identified for curation:
-
-1.  **Dependency Check:** Use `derive_code_path` and `py_get_imports` to identify all upstream and downstream dependencies.
-2.  **State Verification:** Consult the `MUTATION_MATRIX_PHASE5.md` to identify any global state modifications performed by the file.
-3.  **Redundancy Identification:** Cross-reference the file against `CULLING_CANDIDATES_PHASE5.md`.
-4.  **Proposed Change Log:** Before editing, document the specific lines/symbols to be removed or refactored and the technical justification (e.g., "Superseded by theme_2.py").
-5.  **Surgical Edit:** Use the `replace` tool for targeted deletions. Avoid bulk file overwrites.
-6.  **Style Verification:** Immediately run `scripts/ai_style_formatter.py` on the modified file to ensure indentation and formatting standards are maintained.
-
-## 2. Regression Guardrails
-
-- **Functional Parity:** After every major deletion (e.g., removing a redundant module), run the associated unit tests (if any).
-- **Simulation Verification:** For changes to core pipelines (AI loop, Aggregation), run at least one relevant simulation (e.g., `simulation/ping_pong.py`) to verify end-to-end behavior.
-- **Human-in-the-Loop:** Significant refactors (e.g., the `aggregate.py` rework) MUST be presented to the user with a detailed diff before final commitment.
-
-## 3. Culling Justification Standards
-
-- **"Unused"**: Symbol has 0 project-wide references in the audit.
-- **"Redundant"**: Logic exists in a superior or more modern form elsewhere (e.g., `theme.py`).
-- **"Slop"**: Code that adds complexity without contributing to performance, configuration, or a specified feature.

-# Implementation Plan: Comprehensive Codebase Curation & Style Alignment (codebase_curation_20260507)
-
-## Phase 0: Context Integration & Strategy
-- [x] Task: Review all Phase 5 analysis reports in `./docs` to internalize the curation roadmap.
-- [x] Task: Define a "Granular Review Protocol" for file-by-file auditing and culling.
-- [x] Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Curation Strategy' (Protocol in workflow.md)
-
-## Phase 1: Automated Standardization & Audit
-- [~] Task: Run `scripts/ai_style_formatter.py` and `scripts/force_1space.py` on all files in `./src` and `./simulation`.
-- [ ] Task: Conduct an automated entropy audit to identify potential redundancy "hotspots".
-- [ ] Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Standardization' (Protocol in workflow.md)
-
-## Phase 2: Surgical Curation of `./src`
-- [ ] Task: Comprehensive rework of `src/aggregate.py`. Modernize context assembly to leverage MCP tools, snapshots, and file caching. Consolidate tier-specific boilerplate.
-- [ ] Task: Review and trim `gui_2.py` and `app_controller.py` based on pipeline maps.
-- [ ] Task: Consolidate data models in `models.py` and remove redundant state in `aggregate.py`.
-- [ ] Task: Refactor `ai_client.py` to ensure lean processing of provider responses.
-- [ ] Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Source Curation' (Protocol in workflow.md)
-
-## Phase 3: Surgical Curation of `./simulation`
-- [ ] Task: Review and trim `./simulation/` base classes and utility scripts.
-- [ ] Task: Eliminate redundant setup logic in `sim_context.py` and `workflow_sim.py`.
-- [ ] Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Simulation Curation' (Protocol in workflow.md)
-
-## Phase 4: Final Integrity Pass
-- [ ] Task: Verify all tests pass with the trimmed codebase.
-- [ ] Task: Final comparison against `product-guidelines.md` for architectural purity.
-- [ ] Task: Final performance baseline check to ensure no regressions.
-- [ ] Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Final Review' (Protocol in workflow.md)

-# Specification: Comprehensive Codebase Curation & Style Alignment (codebase_curation_20260507)
-
-## Overview
-Aggressive pruning, optimization, and standardization of the codebase. This track uses the findings from the Code Path Analysis and other Phase 5 audits to trim away non-essential logic, data, and processing while strictly enforcing the project's technical integrity standards.
-
-## Foundational Context (MANDATORY REVIEW)
-All curation efforts MUST be informed by the following Phase 5 analysis reports:
-- `docs/PIPELINE_ANALYSIS_PHASE5_INIT.md`: Processing route and pipeline mapping.
-- `docs/STATE_INVENTORY_PHASE5.md`: Core data structure and property inventory.
-- `docs/MUTATION_MATRIX_PHASE5.md`: Thread-safe state modification and lock map.
-- `docs/CULLING_CANDIDATES_PHASE5.md`: Identified redundant symbols, modules, and structures.
-
-## Granular Care & Regression Guardrails
-- **Surgical Execution:** Changes must be applied file-by-file with extreme granularity. No bulk culling without individual justification.
-- **Regression Monitoring:** Continuous verification of behavioral integrity. Any unintended entropy or performance degradation must trigger an immediate halt and review.
-- **Traceability:** Every removed line must be cross-referenced against the culling audit or pipeline map.
-
-## Scope
-- **Target Files:** All `.py` files in `./src` and `./simulation`.
-- **Primary Goal:** Trimming the "slop" (redundancies, dead code, excessive complexity).
-
-## Functional Requirements
-1.  **Redundancy Pruning:** Eliminate duplicate logic across different data pipelines.
-2.  **Dead Code Removal:** Strip out legacy "just-in-case" code and unused processing paths.
-3.  **Strict Style Enforcement:**
-    - Universal 1-space indentation.
-    - CRLF line endings.
-    - Standardized type hinting.
-4.  **Guideline Alignment:** Refactor any code that deviates from `product-guidelines.md` (e.g., ensuring explicit composition over complex inheritance).
-5.  **Validation:** Ensure no loss of functionality or performance degradation.
-
-## Acceptance Criteria
-- [ ] Significant reduction in total codebase line count (where applicable).
-- [ ] 100% pass on style audit (`scripts/ai_style_formatter.py`).
-- [ ] All remaining code is mapped to a necessary functional requirement or performance goal.
