lite_backend_artifact_{contract,resolver}.{cpp,h} (~1,960 lines) were
app-linked but never invoked: all 14 public entry points
(evaluateLiteBackendArtifactContract/Resolver, evaluateLiteBackendActivation-
Readiness, the resolve*/...Name helpers) had zero callers in the app, the
lite_smoke tool, build scripts, or surviving tests. The real backend load
path (LiteClientBridge::linkedSdxl) uses direct litelib_* externs, and the
DRAGONX_ENABLE_LITE_BACKEND symbol check is done in CMake against the symbols
inventory (FATAL_ERROR on a missing symbol) — not via these C++ files. The
files were saturated with churn markers (disabled / dry-dispatch / scaffold).
- Delete the four artifact files and their 8 CMakeLists references.
- Drop the orphaned test cruft in test_phase4.cpp: the contract include,
5 type aliases, and 3 never-called helpers (heapConstructPlanResult,
makeReadyLiteBackendArtifactProvenance, liteBackendArtifactContractHasIssue)
left over from the already-removed bridge-runtime tests.
- Correct the CLAUDE.md lite-wallet description (it credited these files with
backend validation that CMake actually performs) and drop the stale
lite_bridge_runtime mention.
Both variants build; full test suite passes; source-hygiene check clean.
