chore(daemon): enable noUnusedLocals + noUnusedParameters

[arseniy-gl]

Relates to #6084

Why

The project has no lint coverage for dead code — LLM-assisted development leaves unused imports, variables, and functions behind after refactoring. This is the first slice of the lint rollout plan agreed in #6084: enable noUnusedLocals + noUnusedParameters in the daemon tsconfig and fix all resulting violations.

What users will see

No user-facing changes. This is a code hygiene change — all removals are provably dead code (each identifier had zero references beyond its declaration).

Surface area

• UI
• Keyboard shortcut
• CLI / env var
• API / contract
• Extension point
• i18n keys
• New top-level dependency
• Default behavior change
• None

Bug fix verification

Not a bug fix — no red spec needed.

Validation

• pnpm --filter @open-design/daemon typecheck — clean (both tsconfig.json and tsconfig.tests.json)
• pnpm --filter @open-design/daemon test — all 14 modified test files pass (421 tests). 17 pre-existing failures on main are unrelated (tracked in Daemon test suite: 17 pre-existing failures on main, CI runs only 1 of 484 test files #6127); no new failures introduced.

What changed

tsconfig: Added noUnusedLocals: true and noUnusedParameters: true to apps/daemon/tsconfig.json.

src/ (24 files): Removed dead imports, unused constants, unused type declarations, and 4 dead function declarations (uniqueSlug, validateProvenance, possibleDsmlArtifactOpenStart/possibleArtifactCloseStart, fetchVelaModelsWithRetry, readLastSummary). Cascade cleanup freed additional orphaned constants in live-artifacts/schema.ts and mcp-routes.ts.

tests/ (14 files): Removed dead imports and one copy-pasted createSession() call in pi-rpc.test.ts that was shadowed by the test's own setup.

Next slices (from #6084 plan)

• PR 2: @typescript-eslint/no-floating-promises (introduces minimal ESLint config)
• PR 3: react-hooks/exhaustive-deps
• PR 4: @typescript-eslint/no-unsafe-assignment
• Follow-up: noUnusedLocals + noUnusedParameters for apps/web (141 violations) and other packages

Hey @arseniy-gl — thanks for spinning this into the first slice from #6084. Keeping the rollout daemon-scoped and focused on dead-code cleanup is a sensible way to land the stricter check without turning this into a repo-wide lint sweep.

I’m routing this to the next reviewer now.

This pass found one blocking issue in the daemon tsconfig rollout. Please address the inline note below.

The changed config only enables noUnusedLocals, but this PR title/body and the surrounding cleanup are explicitly about rolling out both noUnusedLocals and noUnusedParameters. Because noUnusedParameters is still absent here, the daemon build will continue to accept unused parameters and this slice does not actually enforce half of the intended check going forward. Please add "noUnusedParameters": true in this compilerOptions block and rerun the daemon typecheck/tests so any remaining parameter violations are fixed in the same PR.

Hey @arseniy-gl — @nettee's blocking review covers the current blocker on this head: noUnusedParameters still isn't enabled in apps/daemon/tsconfig.json, so this slice doesn't yet enforce the full scope described in the PR.

Once that flag is added and the daemon typecheck/tests are rerun cleanly, this should be in good shape for another pass.

@arseniy-gl I rechecked the daemon tsconfig rollout on the current head and verified the missing noUnusedParameters flag is now present alongside the follow-up underscore renames needed to satisfy it. The remaining diff is cleanup-only dead-code removal across daemon source and tests, and I did not find any changed-range correctness or maintainability regressions in this pass. Local pnpm --filter @open-design/daemon typecheck verification was not runnable in the prepared worktree because the checkout does not include installed workspace dependencies (esbuild was missing under packages/contracts), so this approval is based on the live diff review plus the PR's reported validation. Nice cleanup pass and good follow-through on the earlier review feedback.
