# Bet — Extension cleanup: remove duplicate resource registration and dead code

## What we are betting on

We can clean up the extension's dead code and fix the double prompt/theme registration in a single small PR without changing behaviour or adding build tooling.

## Why now

The startup collisions are visible every session and make the extension look broken. The `brain_update` fallback bug is latent but real; fixing it while we already have the files open is cheap.

## Appetite

Small — one focused build session.

## Success looks like

- The prompt/theme collision warnings no longer appear on startup.
- `tsc --noUnusedLocals` reports no unused imports or variables in the touched files.
- `brain_update` can resolve all of its helper functions without runtime errors.
- All existing `/brain:*` commands and tools still behave the same.

## Signals to cut losses

- If removing the base paths from `resources_discover` causes prompts or themes to stop loading in any supported install path, we revert and revisit.
- If the cleanup starts pulling in wider refactors (e.g. `tsconfig.json`, tool registration patterns), we park those for a separate bet.
