Initial Open Source Launch: Zero-latency developer bloat and zombie process reaper.
Parallel Directory Crawler: Sub-second discovery walk that prunes traversal at artifact boundaries (skips recursing into 100k+ nested files in node_modules).
Universal Ecosystem Coverage:
- Node.js & Web: node_modules, .next, .turbo, .nuxt, .parcel-cache, .svelte-kit, .docusaurus.
- Python: .venv, venv, env, .pytest_cache, .mypy_cache, .ruff_cache, __pycache__, .tox, .nox.
- Rust & Cargo: target/ (only when parent contains Cargo.toml).
- Java & Gradle: .gradle.
- Build Artifacts: dist, build, out, coverage.
- OS Clutter: .DS_Store, Thumbs.db.
Zombie Dev Server Hunter: Cross-platform port listener scan (:3000, :5173, :8000, :8080, etc.) and matching process analyzer (node, python, vite, uvicorn, next, cargo-watch).
Interactive Cyberpunk TUI: Rich-rendered diagnostic tables, telemetry cards, and particle counters.
Safety Safeguards: Root path detection, protected system directories (/, C:\Windows, ~/.ssh), and non-destructive dry-run simulation mode (--dry-run).
JSON Telemetry Output: --json flag for easy integration with scripts and CI.
Continuous Integration: GitHub Actions CI test matrix across Python 3.10, 3.11, and 3.12.
