Storage cleanup and recovery

Closed arena fidelity history moved externally — November 8, 2026

Brent requested another Dell storage pass after the entrance-audit test reserve failed. The 22 closed October 27 fidelity runs now reside in the private external archive at Modding/Dell-Archives/OpenHoops-fidelity-20261108/. All 4,728 original paths and 11,085,941,377 logical bytes are preserved in a 1,276,063,920-byte ZIP. Full decompression and SHA-256 verification passed for every content object; a six-file Windows restore verified content, creation/modification times and security descriptors. The temporary restore was removed without execution.

The exact originals were rehashed and removed through exclusive handles. Last-link GetCompressedFileSizeW accounting totals 10,370,470,577 bytes (about 10.4 GB). Dell free space was 14,091,702,272 bytes at 14:18:46 UTC; free-space movement also reflects unrelated activity. All 102 retained helper, input and fixture files in that historical unit passed fresh hash/identity checks. Current games, active peer work and MVP were not cleanup targets.

Presentation acquired its own GPU lease during retirement. The final idle guard withheld the summary after all 4,728 removals had committed. Receipt-only recovery verified the complete journal, missing original paths and retained files; it performed no further deletion, custody change or game action. This audit acquired no lease for the maintenance. Native arena testing still requires fresh release/process/storage checks.

Read the archive recovery guide and retirement receipt before using those historical run paths. Restore a selected prefix into a new directory; never restore an old baseline over a current game. Sealed venue releases and their original acceptance scope remain unchanged.

Large Dell cleanup — October 24, 2026

Subsequent approved restart: the Dell rebooted successfully and both pending- restart flags cleared. The supported component-cleanup recheck succeeded, though Windows still reports two superseded packages and a 6.76 GB component store. No additional savings are attributed to that second pass. Final free space was 134,825,451,520 bytes at 18:49:04 UTC; all custody is released. No game/build restarted. Restart and final-state receipt. The initial cleanup observations below retain their original timestamps.

Brent requested a large cleanup of old, unnecessary and duplicated Dell data. Exactly 31,985 old payload files were retired after verified external archival, recovering 41,579,346,356 bytes (41.58 GB) of original file allocation. This accounting excludes MVP's separate earlier cleanup and does not attribute unrelated changes in shared free space to this operation. Completion and bound receipts and detailed cleanup record.

The private recovery archive is /Volumes/MacStudioExternal/Modding/Dell-Archives/OpenHoops-20261024/history.zip (28,293,850,062 bytes; SHA-256 600d17aeff902067fbcb9a04c38ac22d79f99bdd32ad2a31f53107473458f444). It preserves 76,710 filenames using 26,543 unique content objects. Every object was fully decompressed and hashed after transfer; durable external writes passed. Actual Windows restores passed for a 258-file historical stage and a five-file database group; the restored SQLite database passed quick_check. Removal rehashes each original under an exclusive handle and deletes that same file identity only after its metadata/security checks pass.

All 27,989 protected current OpenHoops files/custody records remain unchanged, and all 44,725 retained historical files passed fresh hashes and identity/time checks. Current games, saves, profile backups, toolchains, accepted sources and download payloads remain installed. All MVP data was excluded. Windows' own StartComponentCleanup /NoRestart succeeded, reporting a component store of 9.61 GB before and 6.76 GB after; two superseded packages and a pending Windows Update restart remain. No ResetBase, reboot, application/game/build, new service or peer message was performed. The final free-space observation is in the readback; future work must still check live storage and custody.

Restore routing: read the external archive's README.md before replaying historical scripts. Closed arena test stages, large logs/captures, old binaries, package copies and history72/73 archive payloads may now be external-only. Their original receipts are historical evidence, not a promise those Dell payloads are still unpacked. First restore the needed prefix into a new Windows folder, then deliberately supply the required old paths without overwriting current work. The helper preserves content, creation/modification times and security; it restores independent files rather than old hardlink/compression topology. Current reference-game bytes remain available. The private archive contains saves and supplied game materials; it is not a public package or a second independent backup.

Earlier Mac migration and cleanup checkpoints

October24 follow-up: the entire workspace, including source/docs/tools and all five arenas, now lives externally with old-root compatibility routing. About61GB relocated; no more evidence discarded. Only links/a tiny cwd forwarder remain at the former workspace. Cleanup72/73 archives/helpers keep their original paths. Read EXTERNAL-STORAGE.md before changing links/restoring. Earlier cleanup receipts and free-space figures below remain historical.

Bounded Dell log retirement — October23,2026

During the authorized Hill/Koch standards upgrade, Brent asked to clear Dell space for required native checks. Thirty-one closed single-link JSONL captures under OpenHoops/logs were retired only after complete Mac gzip verification, fresh source hashing and exclusive-handle identity checks. Fifteen use existing archives72/73 files unchanged; sixteen new archives live with the current upgrade. All captured bytes remain recoverable. No games, saves, original packages, tools, hosts or arena/peer artifacts were cleanup targets.

The measured recovery is 1,475,072,000 allocated bytes; free space was 5,236,617,216 bytes at completion, 20:26:26 UTC. A real independent restore and full rehash passed. Historical scripts expecting these Dell log paths now need explicit restoration. Exact paths, archives and restore instructions and completion receipt. The shared 3 GiB game guard remains unchanged.

Follow-up deep dive73

The user requested a broader second pass after cleanup72. It reclaimed approximately23.7GB more:3.15GB on Mac and20.54GB on Dell. This is additional to the first pass; it does not attribute other projects' concurrent cleanup to OpenHoops. No arena/Hill/Koch/Blender work, shared game, original corpus, stable reference, original packages/backups, current toolchain, accepted runtime or download/artwork host was a cleanup target. No application/game/build/test suite was started, and no other chat was contacted.

  • Mac,3,150,749,696 allocated bytes:55 closed research databases, court-test logs, event trace buffers and settings-memory captures became fully verified gzip archives. No database contents were vacuumed/checkpointed/reconciled. Original names, modes, access/modification times and extended attributes remain recorded; four actual restores passed. Receipt · Restore checks.
  • Dell retired candidates,18,388,263,079 bytes by single-link file accounting:four obsolete game copies contained19,963 files. All294 files differing from the preserved reference—2,493,254,650 logical bytes—remain in948,948,133 bytes of private ZIPs, together with full manifests. Every base/unique byte source was hash-checked before removal; game asset links were unlinked without editing their underlying bytes. Read-only checks found no live process/task or arena/Hill script using these four candidates. Receipt.
  • Dell historical editor dependencies,792,375,138 logical bytes net:seven obsolete editor54 installs,1,630 files each, became verified offline ZIPs. Source/package manifests/lockfiles remain unpacked and hash-checked. The current editor/runtime/toolchain stays installed. Receipt.
  • Dell additional archive duplicates,1,363,350,808 bytes:372 identical cache copies outside the first pass's logs-only scope were consolidated within approved immutable historical archives. Every path and content hash remains. Original per-path timestamps/attributes are journaled; linked metadata now follows the archive anchor. Original anchors with out-of-scope aliases were skipped. The fallback only linked previously independent own historical copies. First batch · Fallback.

The retired game paths are roster-game37j, distribution-game42d, ultrawide-game43d and ultrawide-final43w. Historical launch scripts require explicit restoration before reuse. A complete candidate restore passed4,936 file hashes/about7.9GB using independent copied files; an editor dependency restore passed all1,630 hashes. Both temporary restores were removed without executing application code. Actual Dell restores.

Full restore guide covers the Mac evidence, Dell overlay games and offline dependencies. The reference game and original packages/reference-game.tar remain preserved; keep the reference because it supplies shared bytes for the retired candidates. Original asset packages, reusable dependencies and supplied content account for much of the retained bulk. A name-filtered read-only check also inspected OpenHoops items in Windows Temp/Downloads/CrashDumps; no peer/global cache or installer was removed.

Before editing any consolidated historical cache, materialize an independent copy; never write through a historical hardlink. Existing archive72 helpers and immutable public ZIPs retain their original versions. This cleanup is not a new API/native release or an application acceptance campaign. Future Dell game work still requires fresh custody/storage/process checks and the3GiB floor.

Final independent integrity rehashes all5,026 preserved reference files, all four candidate ZIPs/seven dependency ZIPs,14 source/lockfiles and372 consolidated cache paths. Current preservation verifies214 accepted source inputs,75 team-host files and exact two host identities; reference preservation verifies95 original saves/stable EXE/adapter, historical packages and four older host identities. No cleanup worker remains. The shared game is deliberately excluded from restoration or an obsolete baseline comparison; final custody observation has no active peer owner. Final free space is about41.7GB on Mac/35.6GB on Dell, and remains volatile. The two passes together reclaim about48GB by the documented accounting, rather than attributing all shared-volume free-space changes to this work. Final acceptance/accounting.

First deep cleanup72

The user authorized a deep Mac/Dell cleanup of obsolete OpenHoops test/build material and explicitly excluded arena work. No other project chats were contacted. No game, application build/test suite, new service, agent, scheduled task or machine setting was started/installed/changed. Existing download/artwork services remain running. The storage integrity/restore checks below are separate from application testing.

Mac

106 closed raw JSONL/log captures from the API/college/event research were losslessly retired into analysis/archives72/raw-captures. They represented14,392,498,695 logical bytes; measured file allocation savings are13,139,873,792 bytes, about13.1GB. Every gzip was completely decompressed, length/SHA-256 checked and compared again with its unchanged original before that raw original was removed. Per-file prepare/commit journals retain original names, hashes, modes/times and file identity. Source, summaries, successful/failed verification reports, original game corpus, published packages and all arena/Hill/Blender/court-artwork trees remain in place.

Archive guide · Full restore index · First batch · Second batch · Actual restore check.

Historical scripts mentioning the old raw capture names require an explicit restore first. The replacement is not a fake log or a link to compressed bytes. Read with a gzip-aware tool or run:

python3 analysis/cleanup72/restore_capture72.py analysis/api-engine/http-live-06b.jsonl

--destination /absolute/new-path.jsonl restores elsewhere. Existing destinations are refused; hash/length/mode/times are checked/restored. Old work-log wording retains the original capture names; the index maps them exactly. Working evidence pages now point to the archive guide. An initial transparent filesystem-compression attempt yielded no benefit and changed no originals; gzip retirement is the completed method. No dependency was installed on the Mac.

Dell

Only scoped own historical diagnostics/test state and obsolete source stages were eligible. Game roots were discovered by the presence of nba2k14.exe, not guessed from folder names; all six game copies were excluded. Accepted/current API70b/70c/70e, native70d, module70b, reusable toolchains, source packages, download hosts, saves and every arena/Hill/Blender/Wichita/peer path were protected.

  • Transparent compression:1,200 old own files, about11.08GB reclaimed. Original path, bytes/SHA-256 and access/modification times remain; closed test SQLite/WAL files were not vacuumed, truncated or relinked. All1,200 were independently rehashed afterward. Some already encoded cache files gave no further savings.
  • Generated clutter removed:8,113 source-backed bytecode, Finder metadata and rebuildable object files, about156MB by the file-size accounting. Source counterpart checks and per-file removal hashes are journaled. No source-backed bytecode targets were present in the scoped Mac inventory.
  • Retired stages:44 obsolete extracted stages/6,510 files,283MB logical content retained in86MB of new private ZIPs under C:\Users\brent\OpenHoops\history72\stages. Every ZIP entry was hash-checked before the unpacked stage was removed. Current accepted/runtime dependencies remain unpacked. A stage with game assets, arena-related paths, reparse points, recent files or reusable toolchain directories was skipped. Source manifests, compiled outputs and failed evidence are retained in the archives.
  • Retired tasks:38 idle October15–16 court/ultrawide test tasks removed after exact action/state checks. Original XML definitions remain in cleanup72\retired-tasks. No task was run or replaced; arena/peer tasks were excluded.
  • Duplicate audit:2,487 unique historical IFF identities hashed; no additional exact duplicates were found. No new hardlinks were created. Existing historical links retain their previous immutable/materialize-before-edit requirements.

Restore a retired Dell stage without executing it:

C:\Users\brent\OpenHoops\deps\python-3.13.16\python.exe C:\Users\brent\OpenHoops\cleanup72\restore_stage72.py STAGE_NAME

The helper verifies the archive hash and every restored file, refuses an existing stage and supports --destination for inspection elsewhere. The smallest stage was restored into an isolated verification directory, fully rehashed and that temporary copy removed. Retired test-task XML is evidence; do not re-register old unguarded launchers as a way around current custody rules.

Final preservation and active arena boundary

File/restore checks verify all44 archives,1,200 compacted files and8,113 removals. Current preservation verifies214 accepted API/native source inputs, native70d/DLL5cf76196, all75 hosted team files, exact team-host process identities, zero retired test tasks and zero cleanup workers.

Reference preservation verifies all95 protected reference saves, its original EXE/stable adapter, immutable historical downloads and all four older host process identities. Together with the current team host, all six original/team hosting processes remain intact.

Arena acquired match-game44a for its separate authorized r19-b preview during the headless cleanup. A final comparison against the old98-file test baseline encountered changes from that active game, including its mutable Config.cfg. No restoration or repair was attempted. The final signoff deliberately checks the stable reference and accepted sources/hosts, and excludes the actively owned isolated game. Cleanup never targeted game roots or arena assets, never acquired GPU custody and never sent global input, changed display/session settings or messaged another chat. Do not interpret those obsolete-baseline mismatches as an instruction to modify the arena agent's game.

Mac free space rose from roughly15GB to28GB; Dell from roughly4GB to15GB. Exact free-space readings remain volatile because other projects share the machines. Per-file reclaimed figures above are the cleanup accounting; stage ZIP size changes are logical rather than a separate precise volume measurement. The3GiB Dell launch floor remains unchanged.

The current team release remains2026.10.20-team1/API70e/native70d, with its original published ZIP hash and live URL. Cleanup is not a new API/native release. No arena work was removed, compressed, archived, restored or repaired.
