Status: COMPLETE

Sam approved all four QA recommendations. Subsequently asked to also kill CapCut. All executed.

Done in this session

1. Trash emptied for the dedup batch. 14 GB recovered. Disk dropped from 88% to 80% used.
2. CapCut data folder moved to Trash. ~/Movies/CapCut/ (12 GB, 10 projects) moved to ~/.Trash/CapCut_2026-05-08/. Recoverable for ~30 days. Empty Trash again to reclaim the additional 12 GB.
3. Weekly cache-clear scheduled task built. weekly-cache-clear, Sundays 2:05am. SKILL at /Users/samaguiar/Documents/Claude/Scheduled/weekly-cache-clear/SKILL.md. Targets CloudKit, ShipIt updaters, browser HTTP caches, electron, node-gyp, npm, manus, SiriTTS. Uses osascript to bypass the Cowork bash useradd issue. Mirrors a run report to SAIL Knowledge Base each week.
4. Monthly dedup scan scheduled task built. monthly-dedupe-scan, 1st of month 3am. PROPOSAL-ONLY mode. Asks Sam for approval via 4-way MC if reclaimable is over 5 GB. Under 5 GB it logs and exits silently.
5. Scripts canonicalized. dedupe_scan.py and dedupe_stage.py saved to /Users/samaguiar/Documents/Codex/scripts/dedupe/ with README. Future runs of monthly-dedupe-scan use these.
6. **ROLLBACK.sh now self-protects.** Refuses --execute unless the dry-run count is passed back: bash ROLLBACK.sh --execute --restore-count N. Forces every future dedup-stage run's rollback script to be dry-run-first by design. No future agent can fire it accidentally.
7. Desktop Commander "ENOSPC" root-caused. It is NOT a real disk-space issue. Cowork bash workspace returns useradd failed: fork/exec /usr/sbin/useradd: input/output error. Same Q2 finding from today's projects-snapshot run (Notion link). Workaround: route shell through mcp__Control_your_Mac__osascript or Desktop Commander. Permanent fix: build the proposed cowork-bash-fallback skill.
8. Inline handoff doc written. /Users/samaguiar/Documents/Codex/dedupe_runs/2026-05-08/HANDOFF_INLINE.md. Contains 8 self-audit TODOs, current state, active issues, canonical paths, paste-ready pickup prompt.
9. Downloads CLAUDE.md updated. Added "Working scratch is fine in Downloads" section so future agents don't waste time being precious about scratch script locations.

Findings worth knowing

• The original "100% / 129 MB free" disk reading was the sealed boot snapshot (normal APFS behavior). Real Data volume free space at session start was 108 GB.
• Two competing organizational trees in ~/Documents/Desktop Cleanup/2026-04-24-initial-cleanup/Folders/ ("Knowledge Vault" and "Knowledge Vault - Project First") hold mostly the same Marketing assets reorganized two ways. Last hash dedup pass kept the newest of each, so what remains is the unique content + duplicate folder structure. Consolidating to one canonical tree would free another 5-10 GB. Deferred to a fresh session.
• Claude Desktop VM bundle: 16 GB in ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/vm_bundles/claudevm.bundle. That is the active Cowork sandbox. Do not delete.
• 481 MB of locked items remain in Trash after the rm. Some app holds locks on these files. Did not investigate this run.
