Performance improvements:
- Merge 3 separate find operations into 1 for /Library/Caches
- Combine *.cache, *.tmp, *.log patterns in single scan
- Reduces filesystem traversal overhead
- Merge 2 find operations into 1 for /private/var/log
- Combine *.log and *.gz patterns
- Optimize diagnostics cleanup with single combined scan
- Merge Special, Persist, and tracev3 patterns
- Reduces redundant directory traversal
- Use find -delete for batch removal of memory exception reports
- More efficient than iterative removal for large file counts
- Add summary logging to operations.log
UI improvements:
- Add granular spinner messages for each cleanup stage
- Separate diagnostic logs and power logs output for clarity
- Add progress feedback during Time Machine status check
Tests:
- Update sudo mock functions to support new combined find patterns
- Verify find -delete usage for memory exception cleanup
- Update assertions to match optimized implementation
- 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
- Export MOLE_DRY_RUN env var for subprocess visibility
- Add || true to grep commands to prevent pipeline failures
- Add dry-run test for clean_orphaned_system_services
- Simplify clean_local_snapshots tests
- Speed up spinner animation from 100ms to 50ms for smoother visuals
- Fix spinner flicker by deferring stop until output is ready
- Remove unnecessary 'Preparing...' spinner at section start
- Hide whitelist-protected items from output (Trash, Finder metadata)
- Add spinner feedback for system diagnostic log cleanup
- Remove redundant stop_section_spinner calls in cleanup modules
The cleanup process now feels significantly faster and more polished,
with continuous visual feedback and no jarring gaps between operations.
- 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)
