🎙️ Siri & App Intents

Direct macOS integration via App Intents and App Shortcuts:

• Clean Developer Caches — Xcode, Homebrew, Docker (CleanDeveloperCachesIntent)
• Check Storage Status — free space & Trash (GetStorageStatusIntent)
• Clean by Category / Scheduled Cleanup — Shortcuts & Automator
• Siri & Settings — voice triggers, toggles for Siri/Automator, open Shortcuts.app, manage custom commands

🛡️ Safer Cleanup Engine

High-precision scanning with clear purpose separation:

• 251 apps + 66 toolchains · 1710 paths — build-time codegen (engine_paths.json → GeneratedCleanupPaths.swift), zero runtime JSON parsing
• Purpose-aware cleanup: auto-clean only regenerable cache; app_data / shared / user_content never wiped unattended
• Safety first: Trash-only deletion, hard-refuse for credentials & personal roots, no wholesale Keystone/GoogleUpdater/Messages Attachments
• Structured results — removed / skipped / failed counts; partial runs are not marked as full success
• CI gates — path validation → codegen check → XcodeGen drift → tests ×2 → Release

✅ Opt-in Review Groups

Shown in preview with the checkbox off — you choose what to delete:

• AI / LLM data — Ollama, HuggingFace, LM Studio, Jan, mlx, torch/whisper/vllm, …
• Installer packages — old DMG / PKG / ISO in Downloads, Desktop, Documents
• Large archives & aged backups — review-only; Trash only selected items

🧹 Broader Safe Cache Coverage

• Electron / IDE caches — Cache, Code Cache, GPUCache, CachedData (Cursor, VS Code, Claude, Slack, Discord, …)
• Dynamic discovery of large reverse-DNS caches under ~/Library/Caches
• Stale Sparkle / Squirrel update downloads (never SIP-protected /Library/Updates)

🗂️ Duplicates & Build Artifacts

• Duplicate Finder — size → 4KB header hash → full SHA-256 (CryptoKit); smart pre-select of obsolete copies
• Project-local artifacts — regenerable build junk with sibling-file checks (Xcode, Flutter, Android, Node, Python, Rust, Go, CMake)

🔍 App Residuals & Orphans

Detect leftovers from apps removed before installing Cleaner — orphan only with strong ownership evidence (≥2 independent signals); ambiguous items stay manual review.

💾 APFS & Time Machine

• Transparent APFS purgeable space accounting
• Safe cleanup of local Time Machine snapshots (tmutil)

🌐 Expanded Localization & Global Reach

Native support for 10 languages with 100% complete key parity across all UI strings, settings, tooltips, and uninstaller evidence:

• English, German (de), Japanese (ja), French (fr), Chinese Simplified (zh-Hans), Italian (it), Portuguese (Brazil) (pt-BR), Spanish, Russian, Ukrainian

📊 Dashboard & UI (macOS 27)

• Apple Watch Activity Rings storage visualization
• Liquid Glass polish — Settings modules, Uninstaller layout, Process split-button, centered Cleanup, unified window bounds

2.1.0 aims to reclaim space aggressively where it’s safe, and ask first where it isn’t.
