Remove frontend cooker route

Removed the experimental /frontend-cooker page from the Next.js app and cleaned up repository references that still listed it as a public route or scanner candidate.

2026-05-29 09:51 EDT Beads: islandflow-dk5 Scope: web route removal

Summary

The frontend cooker prototype is no longer routable in the web app. Its page component and CSS module were deleted, and the attack-surface documentation now reflects the remaining public pages.

Changes Made

Context

The removed page was an experimental visual exploration route with several mock terminal variations. It was still exposed by file-system routing and listed in security inventory artifacts even though it was not part of the core Islandflow terminal workflow.

Important Implementation Details

Next.js removes the route when the corresponding folder no longer contains a page file. No redirects or replacement route were added, so requests to /frontend-cooker will now fall through to the app's not-found behavior.

The existing local modification to apps/web/next-env.d.ts was left untouched because it predated this task.

Relevant Diff Snippets

The repo asks for @pierre/diffs output by default. Attempting bunx @pierre/diffs --help failed because the package does not expose a runnable CLI executable, so this document includes a labeled plain unified diff fallback.

Expected Impact for End-Users

Users will no longer be able to open the experimental frontend cooker page. The production terminal routes remain unchanged: /, /tape, /signals, /charts, /news, /options, and /replay.

Validation

Passed: bun --cwd=apps/web run build. The resulting Next.js route list did not include /frontend-cooker.

Also checked the repository with rg -n "frontend-cooker|Frontend Cooker|/frontend-cooker" -S .; no remaining references were found after the cleanup.

Issues, Limitations, and Mitigations

No runtime redirect was added. That is intentional for a removal request, but any external bookmark to /frontend-cooker will now receive the app's not-found response.

The @pierre/diffs CLI was not available through bunx, so the diff section uses a plain unified diff fallback.

Follow-up Work

No follow-up issue was filed because the requested route and known references were removed, and validation passed.
