[Timothee Guerin (timotheeguerin)]

Several workspace manifests retain development dependencies that their packages never consume, adding unnecessary direct dependencies and obscuring which packages are actually required.

The audit found five stale declarations, already unused when introduced into this repository:

Package	Removed dependency	History
Azure rulesets	change-case	Added with the package on May 21, 2024 in #854, without a consumer.
Python emitter wrapper	c8, vitest, @types/yargs	Carried over in the April 17, 2026 migration, #4263. The wrapper uses Python tests and Node's util.parseArgs, not these tools.
TypeScript emitter	@azure/core-paging	Carried over in the June 2, 2026 migration, #4526. Its paging implementation and types already lived in the bundled pagingHelpers.ts.

@autorest/codemodel has not stopped being needed and is intentionally retained. It arrived with Java in #4591 on June 30, 2026. The Java build copies its shared implementation from the pinned core/ sources, where code-model-builder.ts still imports both @autorest/codemodel and @azure-tools/codegen at runtime. The Java README now explains why a search limited to tracked Azure sources misses those imports.

The audit covered direct third-party declarations across the Azure workspaces, including scripts, configuration, and copied/generated sources. Indirect tooling requirements such as Astro's Markdown processor and the playground's React plugin are retained. Catalog entries still needed by other workspaces remain; @azure/core-paging may also remain transitively installed.
