Analyze files for unused imports and remove them #977

Bug Description

Many source files in the repository may have unused import statements, leading to increased bundle size, reduced clarity, and possible issues with tree-shaking or static analysis tools. These can also cause confusion for contributors reviewing code, making maintenance harder.

Reproduction Steps

  • Open multiple TypeScript/JavaScript files in the repo.
  • Observe that some imported modules/functions/types/constants are not referenced anywhere else in the file.

Expected Behavior

  • All import statements should correspond to usage within the file.
  • Files should not contain imports for unused modules, functions, or types.

Impact

  • Affects code clarity, maintainability, and could bloat builds.
  • Automated static analysis (e.g., ESLint, ts-unused-exports) may fail or produce warnings.

Proposed Solution

  • Audit TypeScript and JavaScript files with static analysis tools (such as ESLint --no-unused-vars, ts-unused-exports, or similar).
  • Remove any unused imports in all affected files.
  • Optionally, add automated lint rules/checks to catch unused imports on future PRs or commits.

Additional Context

  • Applies to all source code files in the project (especially .ts, .tsx, .js, .jsx).
  • Example (incorrect):
import { rarelyUsed } from './utils';
// ...
  • Example (correct):
// No unused imports
