For example the automated system could take your non-split codebase & inject splits at any async function & self-optimize as needed. The manual annotation support would be to get the ecosystem going as an initial step because I suspect targeting auto-optimizing right from the get go may be too big a pill to swallow.
The tooling producing such annotaion bwsed on historical visits whould conctantly change the annotated set of functions, I suspect, whith app versions evolving.
Note, the inactive code parts are very often in 3rd party libraries.
Some are also in your own libraries shared between your different application. So the same shared library whould need one set of split-annotated functions for one app, and another set for another app. So these conflicting sets of annotations can not live in the library source code simultaneously.
