rdmsm4x-changelog-20260903-2251-fleet-stale-copy-cleanup-six-hosts

Archive-first cleanup of stale app copies, backup files and pre-consolidation trees on all six Macs: 563 backup files moved, 27 app copies zipped, 26 empty rollback dirs removed, 10 home-level trees quarantined (194 GB, moved not deleted), 1.1 GB freed — every action receipted with a sha256 in a per-host manifest, the whole record committed to fleet/archive/cleanup-20260903 (a95ac81).

When: 2026-09-03 22:14 → 22:51 EDT (jdmbair13m5 recheck 21:58–22:10 precedes it, see the 1537 changelog addendum)
Host: rdmsm4x, acting on rdmsm4x, rdmbair15m5, rdmbair13m5, rdmpw3265m, rdmpw3275m, jdmbair13m5
Agent: claude@rdmsm4x, session 55b61233 / dev-33
Ticket: TASK-20260903-39 (claimed, resolved)
Budget posture: usage_status → hold (OpenAI 100 %, Anthropic 7-day 69 %). Everything inline; no subagent, codex or agy.
Authority: Rich's /goal — "cleanup all stale libraries/archive older/suspected older copies … archive/delete all stale application builds across the fleet … cleanup/remove/archive all older/stale copies of apps in /Applications fleet wide. all actions cited, approved."

1. Discovered first, not repeated

Two peer sessions had already worked the same goal tonight: lib-44 (lib stale copies on 4 spokes → ~/dev/archive/lib-stale-20260903/, 102.6 GB of .build caches on the hub, Tyrell b15 + ScanRoo b1 snapshotted) and ecs0lib-6b (144-repo sweep, apps/rd-rt archived). Neither could reach jdmbair13m5. This pass took what they left: /Applications and ~/Applications debris on every host, app copies outside /Applications, backup files, $HOME-level stale trees, and jdmbair13m5 in full.

One near-miss avoided: lib-44 archived the plain ~/dev/lib/agentkit copies as "redundant". They are not — claude@rdmsm4x/158c9525 placed them at 15:2x so codex preflight works on spokes (AGENT_COORDINATION.md §7, bus 20260903-152423-9A9E040F). They are present again on all four spokes (byte-identical to canonical HEAD~1 on jdmbair13m5, verified by sha); left alone here.

2. What changed (per-host receipt: `~/dev/archive/CLEANUP-MANIFEST-20260903.tsv`)

Host	.bak → `config-bak-20260903`	app copies → zip	empty rollback dirs	trees → `~/archive-quarantine-20260903`	freed
rdmsm4x	159	6	9	0	44 MB
rdmbair15m5	100	9	4	4 (134 GB)	1,047 MB
rdmbair13m5	81	0	3	3 (0.5 GB)	0
rdmpw3265m	87	5	4	1	18 MB
rdmpw3275m	85	6	6	2 (64 GB)	18 MB
jdmbair13m5	51	1	3	0	6 MB

Zipped (bundle removed only after unzip -t passed): /Applications/dev/* dev-channel builds of 08-21 on five hosts (HyperFile-macOS, LogTTY 0.1.1(18), LogTTY-universal, ScanRoo 0.1.0(1)) — the installed LogTTY.app is 0.1.1(19) everywhere; /Applications/rooDB.app on jdmbair13m5 and /Applications/.rooDB.app.pre-20260824-0002.bak on rdmbair15m5 (rooDB deprecated, ReplicantDB installed beside it); ~/Applications/RDWorkbench.app.pre-* ×2; /Applications/Essentials.app 1.6.2 (older duplicate of Business.app 2.0.3); canary-era ~/Applications/.tyrell-{rollbacks,staging} and LatencyBar Rollbacks stubs; hub repo-root builds AINetNode.app, updateRoo.app (older than the ~/dev/apps/dist/ releases) and old-name LogTTY/dist/Logstreamed.app — all git-ignored, verified.
Moved: 563 *.bak*/*.orig config and script backups (~/.claude, ~/.codex, ~/.gemini, ~/.agent-coordination, ~/bin, ~/scripts, ~/Library/LaunchAgents, $HOME, and on the hub 40 untracked project-level ones under ~/dev), the two .paused-20260824 rooDB LaunchAgent plists, and the leaked bus test fixture LEGACY01 into the existing quarantine dir on 6/6.
Quarantined (mv, same volume, README with restore commands on each host): dev.<host> scratch roots, dev-archive-20260831 ×2, dev-recovery ×2, fleetbuild, Archived-migrated-2026-08-13. Not deleted — the containment check against rdmsm4x:~/dev is the gate and was not run tonight.
Deleted outright (regenerable): rdmbair15m5 ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData 995 MB (last write 09-01 20:43); 26 empty root-owned Tyrell rollback dirs (sudo -n rmdir), newest rollback kept.

3. Deliberately untouched

Newest installed copy of every bundle id; the newest Tyrell rollback and Tyrell's .tyrell-staging/.tyrell-rejected deploy state; every app's own dist/ output (apps/LogTTY/dist/logTTY.app is build 21 — newer than installed; promotion is the app lead's call); git-tracked build products and tracked .bak files; ~/dev/issues/; ~/.claude/backups/; provider-live files; anything written in the last 3 h; iCloud-synced ~/Desktop/~/Documents (a change there hits every Mac); ~/Archive; ~/Documents/Codex; iOS DeviceSupport; Tyrell/ECSMemory/ramDisk .build dirs still being written today.

4. Verification

Dry run on every host before the real run; grep -c 'command not found' = 0 and REFUSE|FAIL = 0 on the run that executed.
Manifests: 8 tab-separated fields on every row (repaired after the first write — see §5); totals recomputed from them, not from the run logs.
/Applications/dev gone on 5/5 hosts that had it; rollback dirs left = 1 per host; quarantine dirs listed per host with READMEs.
Git status of fleet/maintenance and apps unchanged by the hub pass (untracked files only). apps/Tyrell shows 21 modified files that predate this pass (active lane).

5. Three bugs the dry run surfaced, none reached disk

Loop variable named path — zsh ties it to PATH; every external command after the first read was "not found". The dry run looked clean (builtins print fine); the tell was kb: command not found: cut. Memory zsh-path-variable-is-PATH updated with the recurrence.
((ok++)) as the last command of an && group returns 1 when ok was 0 → the first success per host also ran the FAIL branch and fail= was overcounted. Disk right, receipt wrong. New memory zsh-post-increment-exit-status.
print -r -- leaves \t literal → manifests repaired in place, executor moved to printf.

6. Owner actions / decisions

Delete-or-keep for 194 GB of quarantined trees (rdmpw3275m 62 GB, rdmbair15m5 89 + 24 + 18 GB): run a manifest diff against the hub first; each host's README has the restore line.
~/Desktop/GitHub Desktop.app (681 MB, iCloud Desktop, on every Mac): a release 3.6.5 next to the installed 3.6.5-beta2 — newer, not stale; move it to /Applications or delete it by hand.
Installed apps older than built (from lib-44, still true): Tyrell 7 vs 15, ReplicantDB 37 vs 38, LogTTY 19 vs 21.

7. Backups / undo

Zips: ditto -x -k <zip> <parent>. Backups: mv ~/dev/archive/config-bak-20260903/<rel> ~/<rel>. Quarantine: per-host README. Record: rdmsm4x:~/dev/fleet/archive/cleanup-20260903/ (a95ac81, pushed to backup + fleet).

8. Secrets

None written. Manifests hold paths, sizes, versions and sha256 of zips; the committed record was scanned for vendor key shapes (0 hits).
