V1.56.0 Measured ⚖️

Mole

Deep clean and optimize your Mac.

Changelog

1. Optimize is gentler: it no longer rebuilds LaunchServices, which dropped VPN tunnels and sent Siri re-indexing, and it only reports LaunchAgents whose program is missing instead of deleting them.
2. Clean leaves Gemini's Google state alone: deleting it while Gemini ran could start a disk write loop of about 50 MB/s.
3. Homebrew old versions are cleaned and previewed: mo clean runs brew cleanup even with a small download cache, and mo clean --dry-run lists each version it would remove.
4. A slow check no longer stops the whole run: a timed-out size or SQLite check now affects only that item.
5. Previews and totals count only what goes: nested items count once, Docker images in use no longer read as reclaimable, and tiny build-artifact hints stay quiet.
6. Smaller fixes: idle Brave Nightly caches are cleaned while another channel runs, VS Code extension cleanup works on macOS 15 again, mo remove keeps a custom config directory, and Status shows one more busy process.

更新日志

1. Optimize 更克制：不再重建 LaunchServices，避免 VPN 断线和 Siri 反复索引，程序缺失的 LaunchAgent 也改为只报告不删除。
2. Clean 不再动 Gemini 的 Google 身份数据：Gemini 运行时删掉它们会触发每秒约 50 MB 的持续写盘。
3. Homebrew 旧版本能清理也能预览：下载缓存很小时 mo clean 也会执行 brew cleanup，mo clean --dry-run 会逐个列出将删除的版本。
4. 单项检查超时不再中断整轮清理：体积或 SQLite 检查超时只影响这一项，其余照常进行。
5. 预览和汇总只算真正会清掉的部分：嵌套项只算一次，正在使用的 Docker 镜像不再算作可回收，很小的构建产物也不再提示。
6. 其他细节修复：另一个 Brave 渠道开着时也能清理空闲的 Nightly 缓存，VS Code 旧扩展清理在 macOS 15 上恢复正常，mo remove 会保留自定义配置目录，Status 进程卡片多显示一个进程。
