Codex's final review found that moving code out of modules dropped imports that local plugins could import from them, for example `from modules.service_plugins.discord_bridge_service import EventType`, which would make such a plugin fail to load. Comparing every top-level name bound on dev against the branch (both trees imported, so names under TYPE_CHECKING are excluded) found 24 in 11 modules: EventType, copy and contextlib in both bridges; sha256, Iterable and hmac_mod in message_handler; RotatingFileHandler, colorlog, contextlib, contextvars and functools in core; hashlib and re in utils; contextlib in feed_manager, earthquake_service and weather_service; Any in cmd and help; time in path. Each is re-imported exactly as dev imported it.
The public-import guard only covered `from modules... import` statements, so it missed these. It now records every unconditional top-level import and assignment, regenerated from dev's tree (461 → 1,597 names), and fails if the discord bridge stops exposing EventType.
Both guards in test_public_api.py rewrote a missing golden and passed, so deleting public_imports.json along with an import would have hidden the removal. They now regenerate only under UPDATE_GOLDEN=1.
A codex review found that moving dashboard code out of app.py dropped `modules.web_viewer.app.DashboardStatsService`. The public-API golden only recorded names a module defines, so I added a second one, `public_imports.json`, recording the public names each module imports from another project module, generated from dev's tree as the baseline. It found 20 more names earlier refactor commits had stopped importing (the Nominatim and MQTT-weather helpers in wx, gwx, aqi and solarforecast; `PayloadVersion`, the region-warning verdicts and `decode_path_len_byte` in message_handler; two feed helpers and two feed limits in the web viewer). All are imported again as re-exports, so `modules.<module>.<name>` and patches of it resolve as they did on dev.
Codex caught three deleted public methods earlier and a later scan found twelve more, because nothing tested for them. The golden records every public module function, class and method; the test fails only on a removal, and accepts a name that still resolves through a base class or re-export.
