SafeVault v1.1.9

SafeVault v1.1.9 adds an explicit, safety-preserving automatic cleanup policy
for local recovery history. The default retention window is now 7 days.

What Changed

  • Recovery Home Storage includes the retention period, automatic-cleanup
    switch, cleanup preview, and latest cleanup result.
  • Automatic cleanup runs at most once per day after the user explicitly enables
    it with ENABLE AUTO CLEANUP.
  • Existing installations that still use the former untouched 90-day default
    show 7 days after upgrading, but deletion remains disabled until confirmed.
  • External scheduled backups continue to keep the latest 7 timestamped archives
    plus the safevault-latest copy.

Safety Boundaries

Automatic cleanup removes only versions that are both older than the configured
window and superseded by a newer recoverable version. It preserves:

  • every file's latest restorable content, including deleted files;
  • all history inside the retention window;
  • important restore points and AI change restore points;
  • content objects that are still referenced by any retained version.

The cleanup engine refuses direct deletion without explicit authorization.
Object-store symlinks and non-regular paths are skipped.

Upgrade Notes

Install SafeVaultSetup.exe over v1.1.8, then open Recovery Home → Storage.
Review the cleanup preview, select Enable daily automatic cleanup, enter
ENABLE AUTO CLEANUP, and save. The first authorized cleanup runs in the
background; later runs occur at most once per day.

Existing protected folders, the latest recoverable version of each file,
external backup archives, storage location, and startup choices remain intact.
