If I "/goal remove unused code" in Claude today, I would not even think to specify "check for indirect references" and "don't consider generated code dead code," those sorts of intuitions have been "built in" to the frontier models for a while now.

If someone came to me with these requirements, I would laugh in their face. These reek of busy work with no actual business benefit. Have these people actually built real software before?
In what world does improving SEO, reducing maintenance overhead and faster compile times not provide any actual business benefit?
