invoker audit — hospice
measuring the javascript that can be deleted. scanned 2026-04-10.
these bytes have served their purpose. the platform handles it now.
hospice care is not neglect. it is the recognition that a thing has done its work
and the infrastructure to let it go. commandfor is not a replacement —
it is a succession plan. the JS doesn't fail. it becomes unnecessary.
that is the best death code can have.

hospice stages
terminal — JS is purely toggle/modal/dropdown state. the entire file's JS
can be replaced by popover, commandfor, or <dialog>.
delete the useState, delete the handler, add an attribute.
palliative — some JS is replaceable but the file also does fetch, animation,
or complex state. partial deletion. the toggle dies, the rest lives.
active — JS is load-bearing. canvas, WebGL, data transforms, complex interactivity.
not a candidate. this code is still alive.

the migration
the path from JS to platform is not a rewrite. it's a series of deletions.
step 1: popover — every dropdown that uses useState + onClick for open/close.
add
popover attribute to the target,
popovertarget to the button.
delete the state. delete the handler. delete the conditional render. baseline: available.
step 2: commandfor — every button that toggles another element.
<button commandfor="target" command="toggle-popover">. declarative.
the button declares its intent, the browser executes. Chrome 131+.
step 3: dialog — every modal that manages backdrop, focus trap, escape key.
<dialog> does all three.
showModal() is one line.
the 40 lines of React state around it become nothing.
step 4: :has() + container queries — every className toggle for visual state.
:has(input:checked) replaces conditional classNames.
@container replaces ResizeObserver. CSS does the work.
why hospice
this code was not wrong when it was written. useState for a dropdown was
the correct approach in 2021. onClick for a modal was the only option in 2019.
the platform caught up. the code didn't die of failure — it died of success.
the specifications shipped.
hospice care means: don't let dead code accumulate as technical debt.
don't pretend it's still necessary. measure what can go, acknowledge what it did,
and delete it with intent. the framework tax on a toggle button is the most
expensive no-op in frontend development.
396.6kb of JS in this codebase exists because the platform
hadn't shipped yet when the code was written. it has now. the question is not
whether to delete it. the question is whether you'll measure it first.
10 files terminal. 163 palliative. 396.6kb deletable.
the browser is the framework. the JS is the legacy.
invoker commands are not adoption — they are succession.
