Systematic audit of all 42 external dependencies across the five workspace Cargo.toml files, documenting why each is used, transitive dep counts, unique deps, enabled vs available features, and whether all enabled features are needed. Identifies several actionable savings (unused deps, unnecessary feature flags). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Prioritised list of actionable findings from the workspace dependency audit, ordered by effort-to-impact ratio. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Remove `proptest` (unused dev-dep), `tokio-test` (unused dev-dep), `csv` (unused dep in ggsql-wasm) - Remove placeholder deps with no implementation: `postgres`, `plotters`, `ggplot2` feature flags - Disable `prompt` on `odbc-api` (drops ~55 winit deps) - Disable `resolve-http` on `jsonschema` (drops ~30 reqwest/rustls deps) - Disable `named_from_str` on `palette` (drops phf v0.11 family) - Remove unused `functions`/`window` features from `rusqlite` - Remove unused `ipc` feature from `arrow` and empty `ipc` feature flag Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

I had claude do a little audit, write down a table of dependencies here with some findings.
This was then distilled down to a few recommendations listed here.
Then had it implement its recommendations.
Transitive dependencies go from 591 to 432.
I plan on reverting 43492f3 and 95283dd, but they are here now for your perusal so you can follow along.
