`as any` Cleanup — Anthropic Decompilation Artifacts

Scope

94 as any in Anthropic-original code (excluding API adapters, community code, generated types, test files, and .d.ts).

Categories (for prioritization)

A. Zod schema `.safeParse()` / `.parse()` — schema types lost in decompilation

Files: useIdeSelection.ts, useIdeLogging.ts, usePromptsFromClaudeInChrome.tsx, mcp.ts, cli.tsx, execAgentHook.ts Pattern: SomeSchema() as any — the Zod schema type isn't inferred properly Fix: Declare typed wrapper or use z.input<> / z.infer<>

B. Message/attachment content access

Files: forkedAgent.ts, ccrSession.ts, companionReact.ts, messages.ts, sessionRestore.ts, searchExtraTools.ts, transcriptSearch.ts Pattern: (m as any).message.content, (m as any).event.type — SDKMessage indexer doesn't cover these paths Fix: Extend SDKMessage type to include known sub-properties

C. `globalThis / global as any`

Files: main.tsx, performanceShim.ts, promptEngineeringAudit.runner.ts, cli.tsx Pattern: (globalThis as any).MACRO = ..., (global as any).require('inspector') Fix: Declare global types

D. ComputerUse runtime feature detection

Files: escHotkey.ts, hostAdapter.ts, executorCrossPlatform.ts, drainRunLoop.ts, common.ts Pattern: (cu as any).hotkey, (requireComputerUseSwift() as any) — optional native modules Fix: Declare proper interfaces for optional modules

E. ConsoleOAuthFlow config objects

File: ConsoleOAuthFlow.tsx (7) Pattern: { modelType: 'anthropic' } as any, updateSettingsForSource(...) as any Fix: Type the settings update functions properly

F. Theme/permission/config objects

Files: PermissionRequest.tsx, permissions.ts, auth.ts, outputStyles.ts Pattern: theme.permission as any, suggestions as any, style as any Fix: Extend existing type interfaces

G. CLI/TUI key handlers

File: ultraplan/UltraplanChoiceDialog.tsx (4) Pattern: (key as any).wheelDown — non-standard key properties Fix: Extend Key type or use type guard

H. Performance polyfill/shim

File: performanceShim.ts (4) Pattern: Mocking browser performance API for server runtime Fix: Probably unfixable — Bun doesn't have these APIs

I. Dynamic imports / require() / execaSync

Files: main.tsx, execFileNoThrowPortable.ts, sideQuery.ts, notifier.ts Pattern: (execaSync as any)(...), client.chat.completions.create(requestParams as any, ...) Fix: May need proper type imports or declarations

J. Miscellaneous

Files: worktree.ts, drainRunLoop.ts, messageQueueManager.ts, deepLink, sliceAnsi, plans, textHighlighting, stats, etc. Various patterns — each needs individual assessment

Instructions for Codex

Read each file and determine if as any is: (a) fixable with proper types, (b) justified (runtime feature detection, performance polyfill, etc.), or (c) needs more upstream context
Propose priority order (fixable first)
For each fixable case, write the specific type declaration or code change
Output a markdown plan to docs/plans/as-any-cleanup.md
Do NOT execute — plan only
