Considering adding vulture pre-commit hook

https://github.com/jendrikseipp/vulture#version-control-integration

This repo is pretty large. I've been inconsistently using vulture with the refactor work and think it'd be nice to add to help remove unused code

Read the linked vulture version-control integration guidance, then inspect the repository for its existing pre-commit configuration and Python project checks. Determine the appropriate hook scope and confirm that it runs successfully without reporting unintended unused code; done means the agreed vulture check is consistently available to contributors.
