   Where to start

   Thanks for taking a look. Please confirm the issue is unassigned and comment before starting so work does not overlap.

   Start with these files on development:

   • requirements.txt, requirements-eval.txt, requirements-linux.txt (repository root)
   • .github/dependabot.yml
   • .dockerignore
   • pyproject.toml

   Delete the three files. The note at the top of dependabot.yml already says they are stale, referenced by nothing, and should be removed when this cleanup lands, so the first acceptance criterion (delete) is the intended one. In the PR, say how you confirmed each file unreferenced (the issue lists where it looked: Dockerfile, docker-compose.yaml, the workflows, tests/ and the documentation).

   Two references the issue does not list: remove or reword the note in dependabot.yml that describes these files as stale, and remove the requirements*.txt line from .dockerignore, which becomes a pattern for files that no longer exist. The third criterion asks you to reconcile the requirements.lock comment at the top of pyproject.toml and its decision row in docs/roadmap/risks-and-decisions.md (F-PR29-A6-lock-file, #532). That row is about a future lock file, not these three; if you find it still accurate after the deletion, say so in the PR rather than editing it.

   Run the checks that read these files:

   pytest tests/test_packaging.py --no-cov
   python3 tools/check_source_path_refs.py --strict
   python3 tools/check_anchor_resolution.py --strict

   No GPU, network access or model downloads are needed. Add an entry under ## [Unreleased] in CHANGELOG.md. No documentation page changes, so there is no Turkish mirror to update.

   Open the PR against development with Fixes #968.
