fc93847bb ("Batch selection builds a packet, instead of recolouring regions")
replaced copy-to-clipboard with packet-building and left four pieces behind: the
button's handler, its execCommand fallback, the window global they wrote, and the
gate check that read it. This removes all four.
copySelection had exactly ONE reference in the file — its own definition — and
legacyCopy was called only from it, so both were unreachable. The minifier was
already dropping them: __UPG_LAST_CLIPBOARD__, which copySelection set
unconditionally, appears 0 times in the built bundle.
THE GATE HALF MATTERED MORE. visual-gate check (15) asserted the Copy payload,
guarding on .upg-hud-btn.copy existing — a button that no longer exists. But the
guard skipped only the MEASUREMENT: copyOk was initialised false and check() ran
unconditionally, so it reported FAIL ("no .upg-hud-btn.copy in HUD") on every run
since the button went. A permanently red assertion for a deliberately deleted
feature teaches readers to ignore red, which is worse than no check at all.
formatClipboard SURVIVES — 3 references, and one is live: __UPG_SELECT__
.clipboardText, the headless probe surface the gate still uses. Deleting the
"clipboard code" wholesale would have broken it.
Also corrects the D-8 comment, which still named "Copy + Clear" as the HUD
buttons; they are Prayer List / Poster Map / Clear.
VERIFIED BY THE BUILD NOT MOVING: rebuilt after deleting 43 lines of source and
the bundle is byte-identical to its parent (sha 3dda630d5cf5e647, 992356 bytes).
That is the test of the claim — if the output had changed, the code was not dead.
