Helped: Exhaustive analysis and mapping of ramifications.

… I was decomissioning some code and I made the mistake of asking for an "exhaustive" analysis of the areas I needed to remove. Sonnet 4.5 took 30 minutes looking around and compiling a detailed report on exactly what needed to be removed from this very very brownfield project and after I reviewed the report, it one shot the decommisioning of the code (in this case I was using CLaude in the Cursor tooling at work). It was overkill, but impressive how well it mapped all the ramifications in the code base by greping around.
