ShipIt Cache Clear — 2026-06-05 [WARNING: unusual ShipIt growth]

Cleared

Total freed: 675.0 MB

Disk available: 149 GB (up from 148 GB)

Status: WARNING — single-app total exceeded the 500 MB threshold.

Errors: none. Post-delete verification confirmed zero remaining ShipIt caches.

Anomaly note

Claude Desktop's ShipIt updater cache reached 675 MB, well above the 500 MB daily threshold. Suggests the auto-updater is either updating frequently or leaving orphaned staging artifacts between runs. No action required this run; worth watching the next few daily runs. If it recurs 3+ days running, recommend capturing ShipItState.plist before deletion to identify a stuck/looping update.

Importance: Medium (task complete; anomaly flagged for monitoring).
