Add dead-code gate (vulture) - #25

Conversation
Adds tools/check-dead-code.sh and a CI step, matching the other eight Python repos. No whitelist: this repo has zero findings, and the script treats the whitelist as optional, so nothing is suppressed. Preventive rather than corrective — the gate stops dead code arriving.

Completes the rollout: every Python repo in the org now has the same dead-code
gate. All ten copies of
tools/check-dead-code.share byte-identical.This repo had zero findings, so there is no
vulture_whitelist.py— thescript treats the whitelist as optional. Nothing is suppressed here, and the
first entry anyone adds will have to justify itself.
The value is preventive rather than corrective: the gate stops dead code
arriving, which matters more in a small codebase where a stray helper is easy
to miss in review precisely because there is so little to look at.
