# Clean Imports

## Purpose

Remove unused imports from files

## Routing

- Use when: Use for import hygiene: unused imports, sorting, grouping, and duplicate cleanup in local source files.
- Do not use when: Don't use for formatting-only tasks or API-logic refactors where imports are secondary.
- Outputs: Refactored import blocks and a concise list of removed/sorted/grouped changes.
- Success criteria: No functional change while improving import ordering, grouping, and deduplication without overreach.
