Summary

• Deletes src/agents/transcript-policy.ts (146 LOC) and src/agents/transcript-policy.test.ts (172 LOC).
• resolveTranscriptPolicy was live-by-attestation, dead-by-consumption: zero production callers across src/, ui/, extensions/, apps/, scripts/.
• Middleware-not-platform rationale: RemoteClaw delegates LLM protocol concerns (transcript sanitization, turn ordering, provider-specific quirks) to the CLI agent's own API client. Keeping LLM-API-protocol logic in middleware is a leftover from the pre-fork embedded execution path.

Scope

• 2 files changed, 318 deletions, 0 insertions.
• Shared imports (provider-utils.ts, tool-call-id.ts) remain — used by 20+ and 5+ other importers respectively. Not orphaned.
• MODULE_ATTESTATIONS = { resolveTranscriptPolicy: "live" } in the deleted file disappears with it; scripts/check-attestations.mjs scans dynamically and remains happy.
• The dead isGoogleModelApi module-local stub (line 14 of the deleted file) is removed as a bonus — it was shadowing the real function and making Google policy branches unreachable, but since the containing function had no callers, the bug was dead-by-death.

Test plan

• rg transcript-policy across repo returns 0 code hits
• rg resolveTranscriptPolicy src/ returns 0 hits
• rg "TranscriptPolicy\b" src/ returns 0 hits
• pnpm tsgo clean
• pnpm lint clean (0 warnings, 0 errors, 3923 files)
• pnpm test passes; net test count decreased by the 13+ scenarios in the deleted .test.ts
• pnpm build clean
• attestation-gate local: 90 modules, 312 attestations, 10/10 self-tests
• zombie-import-gate local: clean
• stub-debt-gate local: fork-boundary-mock 126 == baseline 126
• throwing-stub-callers-gate local: 0 violations
• obsolescence-audit-gate local: 49 == baseline 49
• rebrand-gate local: no files to check (deletion only)
• CI green (driven via this PR)
