This is a clean dead-code removal PR. Here's the breakdown:

Deleted files — all confirmed truly dead

All 6 deleted files have zero remaining imports in the codebase:

• json_author.py, json_author_with_reviewed_works.py — shared TypedDict definitions, no longer used
• json_work.py, json_work_author.py, json_reviewed_work.py, json_maybe_reviewed_work.py — same
• reading_entries.py — a full export module including an export() function, but it was never wired into exports/api.py, so it was never actually called

stats.py changes

JsonMostReadAuthor simplified:

# Before
name: str
count: int
slug: str
reviewed: bool
readings: list[str]

# After
count: int
author: str  # stores the slug
reviewed: bool
readings: list[str]

The name field removal also eliminates a linear author lookup (next(author.name for author in repository_data.authors if author.slug == author_slug)) — a nice performance improvement for large datasets.

works.py changes

JsonWorkAuthor.slug renamed to author — consistent with the naming convention used in stats.py.

Notes

• The JSON output format changes (slug → author, removal of name) are intentional API contract changes. If any downstream consumers (e.g. a web frontend) rely on these field names, they'll need to be updated in sync.
• No test coverage for the deleted reading_entries.py export — but since it wasn't wired into api.py, it was effectively untestable/unused anyway.

Overall: straightforward and correct. Nothing to flag. ✓
