Replace jq with bash-native JSON parsing helpers (json_get_value,
json_validate, parse_optimization_items) so that mo optimize no
longer requires jq to be installed.
Closes#588
- Replace parentheses with commas for supplementary info
- Use commas instead of em-dashes for separators
- Update bullet points from - to * in some contexts
- Improve version extraction regex with fallback logic
- Skip destructive operations (killall, launchctl unload, sudo) in dry-run mode
- Add opt_msg() helper for consistent output formatting
- Refactor opt_system_services_refresh() with service array
- Show appropriate summary for dry-run vs actual execution
- Skip sudo session prompt in dry-run mode
- Fix safe_remove set -e trap in command substitution
- Fix has_full_disk_access false positives and unknown state handling
- Use set +e in perform_cleanup for graceful degradation
- Track removal failures and only count actually deleted items (#180)
- Add "Skipped X items (permission denied or in use)" notification
- Improve spinner reliability with cooperative stop mechanism (#175)
- add ensure_user_dir/ensure_user_file helpers in lib/core/base.sh, including
sudo-aware ownership correction under the invoking user’s home
- use the helpers across clean/optimize/purge/uninstall/whitelist to create
cache and export files safely (no naked mkdir/touch), including log files and
dry-run exports
- ensure purge stats/count files and update message caches are pre-created with
safe permissions
- add Darwin version helpers and skip LaunchServices/dyld rebuild on macOS 15+,
keeping the existing corruption protection for earlier versions
- guard brew cache timestamp writes and TCC permission flags with safe file
creation to avoid root-owned artifacts
