## Cleanup: Remove or clearly deprecate `js/utils/aiMock.js`

[prince-pokharna]

Description

The README's own Project Structure comments label js/utils/aiMock.js as "The original mock UI extraction hook (deprecated)", while js/utils/api.js is described as "the live fetch logic communicating with our Express API" — i.e., the actual one in use. Leaving a clearly-marked-deprecated file in the active js/utils/ directory risks contributors importing the wrong module, especially newcomers unfamiliar with the project's history.

Proposed Scope

• Confirm aiMock.js has zero remaining imports across app.js/store.js
• If unused: delete the file entirely (git history preserves it if ever needed)
• If still referenced anywhere (e.g. as an offline/demo fallback): rename it clearly (e.g. aiMockFallback.js) and document its actual current purpose in a code comment at the top of the file
• Update the README's Project Structure section accordingly

Acceptance Criteria

• aiMock.js is either removed or clearly justified and renamed
• No dead imports remain in app.js
• README structure section matches reality

Labels: housekeeping, good first issue
