`backend/migration.py` and `scripts/migrate_csv_to_db.py` import `School`, `SchoolResult`, `init_db` and `set_db_schema_version` — names that no longer exist. `scripts/geocode_schools.py` imports the same removed ORM model. None of the three can be imported against the current backend, so they were not dormant utilities anyone could fall back on; they were files that would fail on the first line. `backend/version.py` existed only to hand `SCHEMA_VERSION` to that importer, and the FastAPI lifespan performs no version-triggered import. Three symbols go with them, each confirmed to have no caller: the unvectorised `haversine_distance`, superseded by the inline NumPy calculation in search; `fetcher`, an SWR helper for a dependency this project does not install; and `kmToMiles`. `calculateDistance` stays — CutoffMapPanel uses it. Two comments pointed at `migrate_csv_to_db.py --drop` to explain why Payload owns its own schema. The reason survives the script: blog content must stay clear of the school marts and Airflow's metadata. Reworded rather than deleted, so the constraint keeps its justification. docs/LEGACY_CODE.md records what was removed and where to find it in history. It also records what was deliberately *not* removed, which is the more useful half: unused UI components awaiting a design decision, manual data utilities whose operators a repository search cannot see, and fallbacks that look obsolete but are load-bearing — `data_loader.py`'s older-mart branches, the generated GIAS dictionary copies, and the `legacy`-named dbt models that annual DAG selectors explicitly include. A zero-import count is evidence, not a verdict. The scripts that fetch DfE CSVs are marked historical and kept, pending confirmation that nobody runs them by hand. Checked: 190 backend tests, 429 frontend tests, `tsc --noEmit` clean. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_016y2J6bs8gbuSJbH18w7Tan
SchoolCompare frontend and CMS
Next.js App Router with React, TypeScript, CSS Modules, Chart.js, Leaflet and Payload CMS. It serves school search, comparisons, rankings, school/place detail pages and editorial content across England.
Start with the repository overview, architecture and development checks.

Do not introduce a shared app/layout.tsx: public pages and Payload have separate
root layouts. Keep root metadata files outside the route groups.
Data and state
Server pages fetch initial data directly from FASTAPI_URL. Browser fetches use
/api by default, forwarded by app/(frontend)/api/[...path]/route.ts.
FASTAPI_URL must include /api. See .env.example for CMS and API settings.
State uses React hooks/context, URL search parameters and localStorage for the comparison basket. SWR is not installed. Maps use dynamic Leaflet wrappers. Revalidation intervals are configured in fetch wrappers and pages; they vary by resource. Backend reloads do not automatically invalidate every Next.js cache.
Commands
npm ci
npm run typecheck
npm test -- --runInBand
npm run build
test:watch and test:coverage are also available. There is no lint script.
A running application needs the backend/data environment described in the
development guide.
After CMS field or editor changes, run npm run generate:importmap. Keep
payload-types.ts generated from the CMS schema rather than editing it by hand.
The build must work without a database connection; avoid module-scope CMS queries
and DB-backed generateStaticParams functions.
See publishing for CMS operations and deployment for staging and production promotion.
