System maintenance -- stale tasks, orphan folders, unsaved sessions, world health check.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# System Cleanup Scan across all walnuts for entropy. Surface issues one at a time. ## Checks ### 1. Unsaved Sessions ```bash grep -l "saves: 0" "$ALIVE_WORLD_ROOT/.alive/_squirrels/"*.yaml 2>/dev/null ``` For each: check transcript file size before dismissing. `saves: 0` + `stash: []` does NOT mean empty -- the stash is only written at save. ``` [N] unsaved sessions found. [id] -- [date] -- [walnut] -- transcript: [size] Review transcripts for lost work? 1. Yes, check them all 2. Show me the list first 3. Clear and move on ``` ### 2. Stale Bundles Find bundles in `draft` status unchanged for 30+ days: ```bash find "$ALIVE_WORLD_ROOT" -name "context.manifest.yaml" -mtime +30 2>/dev/null ``` For each stale bundle: ``` "[bundle-name]" has been in draft for [N] days. 1. Advance it (prototype/published) 2. Archive it (set status: done) 3. Kill it (delete -- drafts are disposable) 4. Leave it ``` ### 3. Stale Walnuts Walnuts past 2x their rhythm with no recent sessions: ``` [walnut] -- waiting -- [N] days past weekly rhythm 1. Load it (check what's there) 2. Archive it (move to 01_Archive) 3. Update rhythm (maybe it's monthly now) 4. Leave it ``` …

How to install
mdr add alivecontext/alive/alive-cleanup@sha256:0ff68be12e440719The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
