Dead code: tools/ and mcp_/ orphans (duplicate get_file_icon, untested start_servers_with_blocking)

Summary

Evidence chain

• get_file_icon: zero references. It duplicates RichRenderer._get_file_icon (messaging/rich_renderer.py:1264), which IS used and tested. Redundant copy.
• format_terminal_banner: only its own def + __all__ entry. Git: survived 26d831cd "refactor: remove browser terminal subsystem and REST API" — classic refactor orphan.
• get_verified: zero call sites. Notably tests/mcp/test_server_registry_catalog.py::test_get_verified_servers does NOT call it — it re-filters MCP_SERVER_REGISTRY manually.
• start_servers_with_blocking: no production callers (managed_server.py imports only BlockingMCPServerStdio). tests/mcp/test_blocking_startup_coverage.py::TestStartServersWithBlocking never actually invokes the function — the tests exercise StartupMonitor instead (confirmed by runtime trace: the function never executed across 11,691 tests). Either delete the function + rename the misleading test class, or write real tests.
• Runtime trace: none of these executed in the full suite.

Caveats

• format_terminal_banner is in __all__ (public API surface) — check downstream consumers.
• retry_example.py may be intentional documentation; consider moving to docs/ instead of deleting.
• start_servers_with_blocking is the kind of orchestration entry point that could be intended for a future/external caller — confirm with the author before removal.

Verification

pytest tests/ -q --no-cov
rg 'get_file_icon|format_terminal_banner|get_verified|start_servers_with_blocking'

Start with the listed definitions and references in code_puppy/tools/file_operations.py, code_puppy/tools/browser/init.py, code_puppy/mcp_/server_registry_catalog.py, and code_puppy/mcp_/blocking_startup.py; run the provided rg command and inspect the related tests. Confirm public or future callers before choosing removal, relocation, or real coverage, then run pytest tests/ -q --no-cov with no orphan candidates remaining.
