+# 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 to trim away non-essential logic, data, and processing while strictly enforcing the project's technical integrity standards.
+
+## 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.
