Mole

Deep clean and optimize your Mac.

Changelog

1. mo purge protects projects in use: Build folders with open files or a running build are no longer listed or removed, including projects under non-ASCII paths.
2. Uninstall preserves more user data: Buzz models are kept by default, --with-data no longer preselects UTM and VirtualBuddy virtual machines, and containers protected by macOS are not moved to the Trash.
3. No permission prompt during uninstall: Without Full Disk Access, mo uninstall no longer measures other apps' containers, so the preview is not blocked by a system prompt.
4. mo clean preserves files that tools depend on: Puppeteer browsers and Buzz models are kept, mo clean --external continues past files whose size cannot be read, and a shell without write permission is refused with the reason.
5. mo purge reclaims more space: A Swift package .build folder that contains dependencies is offered as its compiler output only, and a configuration with no active paths falls back to the default folders.
6. Accurate memory and Bluetooth in mo status: Memory pressure is reported again, and connected Bluetooth devices are no longer shown as disconnected.
7. Multi-word search: List search matches rows that contain every word, in any order.
8. Performance and layout: mo history loads large logs about five times faster, mo status --json returns sooner, and long or wide names in mo analyze keep their endings and stay aligned.

更新日志

5. mo purge 可清理更多空间：包含依赖的 Swift 包 .build 目录现在只列出编译产物，配置中没有有效路径时使用默认目录。
