v0.2.1 — Python, Swift, container, and macOS System Data cleanup

A big expansion of built-in cleanup rules and two new rule kinds. Adds coverage for Python package
managers, Swift tooling, container runtimes beyond Docker, and several large categories that were
previously showing up in macOS's mysterious "System Data" bucket.

New cleanup rules

Python package managers

• pip cache purge and uv cache clean now wired as native clean commands
• Poetry, conda (conda clean --all --yes), Hatch, Pipenv caches

Swift ecosystem

• SwiftPM shared cache (~/Library/Caches/org.swift.swiftpm)
• Carthage and Mint caches
• Xcode shared app cache, CoreSimulator caches, and iOS/watchOS/tvOS/macOS/visionOS Device
  Support folders (can be many GB)

Container runtimes

• Podman, Finch, and Apple's container CLI (WWDC 2025) — all via system prune-style
  external commands, sized from each tool's system df output
• Time Machine local APFS snapshots via tmutil thinlocalsnapshots (often holds GBs hostage in
  "System Data" even with no TM disk attached)

Developer caches

• JetBrains IDE caches (~/Library/Caches/JetBrains)
• JetBrains stale IDE versions — smartly detects prior-release per-version directories (e.g.
  keeps IntelliJIdea2026.1, flags IntelliJIdea2025.3)
• Playwright browsers, GitHub Copilot cache, Lens updater cache, Docker installer
  staging
• Android SDK system images (emulator disks, often 10+ GB)

macOS system files

• QuickLook thumbnails
• iOS/iPadOS device backups (MobileSync — Caution)
• iOS/iPadOS IPSW software updates (Caution)
• Xcode iOS Device Logs
• macOS installer apps (/Applications/Install macOS*.app — often 15+ GB each)

New rule kinds

Two new RuleKind variants in the rule schema:

• GlobKeepLatest — scans a parent directory, groups children by <family><version> pattern,
  keeps the highest version in each family and flags the rest. Used for JetBrains IDE per-version
  directories; generalizes to any <name><YYYY.N> layout.
• KnownPathGlob — matches children of a parent directory against a glob pattern. Used for
  /Applications/Install macOS*.app; the validator's allowlist now accepts /Applications as a safe
  glob parent.

Safety and validator

• Binary allowlist extended with podman, finch, container, tmutil
• New validation for KnownPathGlob parent paths and name patterns
• All new rules are marked Safe or Caution with clear descriptions; no Dangerous rules were
  added
• Rules that target potentially-valuable user data (iOS backups, IPSWs, JetBrains stale versions,
  device support symbols) are explicitly Caution with recovery-cost notes in their descriptions

Tests

15 → 18 passing (3 new tests for the GlobKeepLatest family/version parser).
