Summary: This PR safely removes two unused onboarding API routes. No references to these endpoints exist in the codebase, so this is a clean deletion with no risk of breaking changes.

Note: The PR description mentions removing the @ai-sdk/xai dependency and env examples, but those changes weren't included in this PR. The dependency and env vars are now orphaned and could be removed in a follow-up.

Score: 10/10 — Clean code removal, ready to ship.

Overview: Removes two unused onboarding API routes (/api/onboarding/research and /api/onboarding/extract-content) that were consuming Exa and XAI APIs.

Issues found: None — the deleted routes have no references in the codebase, making this a safe cleanup.

Note: The PR description mentions removing the @ai-sdk/xai dependency and EXA_API_KEY/XAI_API_KEY env examples, but these weren't included in this diff:

• @ai-sdk/xai is still in apps/web/package.json (line 26)
• EXA_API_KEY and XAI_API_KEY are still in apps/web/.env.example (lines 3-4)

Since the deleted research/route.ts was the only consumer of @ai-sdk/xai, consider removing the dependency and env examples in a follow-up to complete the cleanup.

Score: 10/10
