CI failures: TS6133 unused imports + stale stats test dates — fix ready but blocked by orphan main branch

[erudenko]

Summary

Eight CI runs have been failing since early April 2026 due to two root causes. The fix is fully implemented in branch fix/ci-typescript-and-stats-dates, but a structural branching issue blocks the normal PR-to-main workflow.

Root cause 1: TypeScript unused imports (TS6133 / TS6196)

tools/claudeup-core/tsconfig.json has "noUnusedLocals": true. Four imports were left behind after refactors, causing tsc --noEmit to fail on both Node 20 and Node 22:

File	Unused import
tools/claudeup-core/src/__tests__/integration/conventions-integration.test.ts	removeGitignoreEntries
tools/claudeup-core/src/__tests__/unit/doctor.test.ts	vi
tools/claudeup-core/src/services/conventions-manager.ts	existsSync
tools/claudeup-core/src/services/doctor.ts	InstalledPluginEntry

Root cause 2: Stale hardcoded test dates in plugins/stats

plugins/stats/tests/db.test.ts and integration.test.ts used the hardcoded date "2026-03-26". This date has drifted outside the 7-day and 14-day rolling query windows used by getSessionSummary, getTopTools, and getDurationTrend, causing those tests to return zero results and fail assertions.

The fix

A single clean commit (2b684b7) in branch fix/ci-typescript-and-stats-dates addresses both issues:

• Removes the 4 unused imports
• Replaces "2026-03-26" with dynamic TODAY / YESTERDAY / TWO_DAYS_AGO constants

The fix is minimal (6 files, 31 insertions, 27 deletions) and built directly on top of the last failing main commit (4b44218).

Structural blocker: main is now a dist-only orphan

As of 2026-04-07, main was converted to a dist-only orphan branch (4070f70 — dist: publish magus v7.3.0). This branch has no shared git history with the source branches (fix/*, tools/*, etc.).

Consequences:

1. GitHub refuses PRs from source branches to main with: "The branch has no history in common with main"
2. CI no longer runs on pushes to main (no .github/workflows/ in the orphan)
3. The 3 open fix PRs — fix(ci): remove unused TS imports + fix stale stats test dates #22, fix(ci): resolve merge conflict — unused TS imports + stale stats test dates #23, fix(ci): remove 3 unused TS imports + fix stale stats dates + re-enable CI triggers #24 — all target fix/ci-type-errors-and-stale-test-date (not main), so CI has never run to verify them
4. A fourth attempted fix branch (fix/ci-ts-errors-and-stale-dates-main-pr) was pushed but the PR creation to main also failed for the same reason

---

Recommended actions

1. Close PRs fix(ci): remove unused TS imports + fix stale stats test dates #22, fix(ci): resolve merge conflict — unused TS imports + stale stats test dates #23, fix(ci): remove 3 unused TS imports + fix stale stats dates + re-enable CI triggers #24 — they target a dead-end branch and CI cannot verify them
2. Decide on the source branch workflow: if fix/ci-typescript-and-stats-dates (or a rebase of it onto the current source HEAD) is the right base, open a PR from it to whatever branch now serves as the integration target
3. Update .github/workflows/test-plugins.yml and test-stats.yml to trigger on the new source branch instead of main (since main is now dist-only and will never have .github/)
4. Alternatively: cherry-pick 2b684b7 into the source development branch directly
