+Removed a dead pre-ADR-0079 `getRecordDisplayName` / `formatRecordTitle` copy from
+`apps/console/src/utils.ts`. Both were unexported-from-behaviour dead code with zero
+console importers (superseded by the unified `@object-ui/core#getRecordDisplayName`);
+no published behaviour changes.

+// `formatRecordTitle` / `getRecordDisplayName` (a pre-ADR-0079 divergent
+// resolver pair, ~6 of which existed across surfaces) were removed here as
+// dead code (objectui#6558) — zero console importers, and their presence
+// re-armed the exact trap ADR-0079 closed: a same-named, same-signature
+// resolver one import away that ignores `nameField`/`displayNameField` and
+// ranks the legacy `titleFormat` template first. Console surfaces that need
+// a record title use the unified `@object-ui/core#getRecordDisplayName`
+// (and `formatTitleTemplate`), which the console already depends on.
