    Let him play in the legacy code. You can just hose him off later before letting him back into the office so he doesn’t track it everywhere.

    The junior doesn’t know that these aren’t unused functions. They’re load bearing functions.

      Commenting well is a highly advanced skill. I generally prefer no comments on code since it’s less likely to confuse people and I’ll merrily purge auto-doc comments and anything like

      // getId() returns an id

      That comment has negative value.
