Coverage reports unused bytes per file, but it starts counting when you press record and clears on a page navigation. A function that ran during startup before recording began is reported as unused, and code behind a user interaction stays unused until you actually perform that interaction. Treating the first number as dead code is how teams delete something used only on a route they did not visit.
Use it as a guided exploration: start recording, reload so the load path is captured, then walk the flows that matter and watch the unused percentage fall. The per-line highlighting in the Sources panel shows exactly which branches never ran. Coverage counts bytes of the delivered resource, so a minified bundle reports differently from the same code unminified, and source maps do not change that accounting.
