Scanned a real macOS system against Mole's cleanup modules and found ~10GB of cacheable data across apps that Mole did not cover. This commit adds safe cleanup for all verified items. New app coverage: - CodeBuddy Extension / CodeBuddy CN: Electron cache + logs (1.3GB) - QQ Music Mac: streaming cache, logs, temp (protect offline downloads) - Tencent Video: old installer residue, native cache, document cache - Neat Download Manager: stale incomplete downloads >30 days (age-gated) - Spacedrive: regenerable thumbnail cache - QQ Browser 3: Chromium cache/shader/CRX/crashpad - Microsoft Office: font cache in Group Containers Developer tools: - Podman: review-only hint (same pattern as Docker) - GitKraken CLI: old version cleanup (keep active + most recent) - Chrome DevTools MCP: browser profile cache - Playwright Go: browser cache (complements existing ms-playwright) - Solana CLI: orphan platform-tools cache - PyInstaller: bootloader binary cache - virtualenv: seed wheel/unzip download cache - Chromium browser snapshots: standalone download residue - CodeNexus: cache + logs (guarded by command existence check) - ScmClient (Tencent iOA): logs - ChromaDB: review-only hint for large ML model cache - OpenCode: review-only hint for session storage data Browser fixes: - Arc Browser: add User Data/ layout paths (new Arc versions moved profiles under User Data/ subdirectory, old glob paths missed them) - Arc Browser: add extensions_crx_cache + component_crx_cache cleanup New feature: - WebKit app cache cleanup: scan ~/Library/WebKit/<bundle_id>/WebsiteData for non-Apple apps (was known to uninstall module but not mo clean) Large file hints: - OpenCode session data and ChromaDB model cache added to review-only large file candidates section Safety: - QQ Music offline downloads (iDownloadProxy) explicitly protected - NeatDM history database (NeatDB.db) never touched, only stale segments - GitKraken active symlink target always preserved - CodeNexus only cleaned when binary is NOT in PATH (orphan guard) - WebKit cleanup skips com.apple.* and uses existing protection guards - All items verified via dry-run with no regressions Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
CodeNexus is an AI code indexing daemon that runs from ~/.codenexus/bin/ (not in PATH). The previous guard using `command -v` would incorrectly treat it as orphaned. The cache is only ~3MB and rebuilding indexes has a time cost, so it's not worth cleaning automatically. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The chrome-devtools-mcp profile directory is actively used by the MCP server's headless Chrome instances. Deleting it while the server is running would crash all active browser sessions. Add pgrep guard to skip cleanup when chrome-devtools-mcp is running, matching the same pattern used for other browser process checks.

@yhy0 Thanks for the broad cache audit. There are useful observations in here, but I am going to close this PR because it is too large and too risky to merge as one change. This mixes 20+ cleanup rules, a generated The path I would accept is to split this into small PRs with one clearly rebuildable cache family at a time, each with focused tests. Good candidates would be narrower fixes like Arc’s newer profile layout or QQ Browser cache cleanup. Please leave generated contributor churn out of those PRs. |

@yhy0 Thanks for the cache audit. I took the narrower path from this PR and landed the low-risk Arc I left the broader cleanup targets out so they can be reviewed separately in smaller PRs. This will be included in the next release. |
