alt Hacker NewsAll of the harnesses I've used are terrible at cleaning up after themselves. They leave all kind of clutter behind, to the point where on my dev VM, I now have an LLM run once a day to just look through the disk and delete everything that looks like it's leftover garbage.
It's like fighting fire by employing an arsonist.

Installed "clor.com" and it got into a loop of downloading its docker image from ghcr them throwing it away immediately because it was supposedly out of date (iirc). 65mbps continuous transfers for a week until I looked at my network traffic and saw 500gb of rx per day.
Is that cruft or past conversation history / subagent history and observability logs?
I just erased 20GB of Cursor’s cruft.

Over eager use of /tmp is the worst. That’s RAM, my boy! Precious gold.
