Burrow 0.6.7

Burrow 0.6.7

The biggest release yet. Burrow gets a unified Home dashboard, Traditional
Chinese alongside Simplified and English, native fan/temperature sensors,
1-second live net & disk charts, Trash-from-the-treemap, and a sharper
AI Explain lens. It also gains opt-out usage analytics + crash reporting —
documented honestly, hardened, and behind a single switch — on top of a large
internal refactor that makes the whole app easier to trust and test.

New

• One Home dashboard. The Burrow icon now opens Home, folding Status,
  History, and Activity into a single live view — vitals, charts, and recent
  jobs in one place.
• Bluetooth & battery on Home. Connected Bluetooth devices and battery
  health surface alongside the rest of your Mac's vitals.
• Traditional Chinese (繁體中文, Taiwan). Plus an in-app language switch —
  System / English / 简体中文 / 繁體中文 — so you're not tied to the system
  language. The AI Explain lens answers in your chosen language too.
• Native sensors. Real fan RPM and CPU/GPU die temperatures, read directly
  via SMC, fill the gaps Mole leaves on Apple Silicon.
• 1-second live charts. A unified net + disk monitor drives Home and History
  at the same fast cadence, so bursts actually show up instead of being averaged
  away.
• Move to Trash from Analyze. Spot a forgotten folder in the treemap and
  send it to the Trash right there — no detour to Finder.
• Sharper AI Explain. It now briefs the whole picture — current snapshot,
  recent trend, and your recent cleanups — not just one moment.

Privacy & security

• Opt-out analytics + crash reporting, stated plainly. Burrow now sends
  anonymous product analytics (PostHog) and crash reports (Sentry): a random
  install id, app/OS version, CPU type, and bucketed feature counts — never
  files, paths, contents, or your metrics. It's asked once at first launch, is a
  single switch in Settings → Anonymous usage, and is inert in builds from
  source. Full list in TELEMETRY.md.
• Local HTTP server tightened. The loopback metrics server no longer sends a
  CORS grant, so a web page in your browser can't read it; it also caps request
  size and times out idle connections.
• Agents ask twice for the irreversible. Letting an AI agent run real
  cleanups is one opt-in; uninstalls and permanent deletes need a second,
  separate switch — and a real uninstall aborts unless Mole matches exactly the
  apps you named.
• Safer elevation & key storage. Admin runs resolve only your trusted
  Homebrew mo, and any hosted-AI API key now lives in the Keychain instead
  of plain preferences.

Fixes

• Clear message on older Mole. On Mole before 1.29 the treemap could fail
  with a cryptic /dev/tty error; it now tells you to update Mole instead.
• Treemap feels right again. Hover and click land on the correct cell, and
  the breadcrumb "go up" works as expected.
• Homebrew cask installs on macOS 14+ correctly on both old and new
  Homebrew.
• History database is more robust. It survives the GUI and an agent opening
  it at the same time instead of risking a reset, and large Mole output (Analyze,
  the app list) no longer truncates or hangs.

Under the hood

• A large deep-module refactor: one metrics query/aggregation layer, one snapshot
  engine behind testable ports, one shared operation flow for Clean/Optimize, and
  shared formatters — retiring a stack of duplicated, drift-prone code.
• CI now runs the full test suite on every push and PR; GitHub Actions are pinned
  to commit SHAs and dependencies to exact versions.
• Test suite grew from 124 to 244.

Install

brew install --cask caezium/tap/burrow

Pulls in the mole engine and clears the Gatekeeper quarantine for you.
