feat(launcher): prune ros2 logs older than a week on exit - #60
Merged
Conversation
ros2 writes a directory per launch and a file per node, and prunes neither. This workspace had reached 4,782 directories, 39,328 files and 913MB since May. Prune on workspace exit, where the launcher already owns teardown. Symlinks are skipped so ros2's "latest" pointers survive, and a retention of 0 disables it.
