[mo] V1.45.0 — V1.45.0 Quiet 🤫

[github-actions]

Upstream mo released V1.45.0 on 2026-07-04.

Burrow drives mo at runtime, so a new engine release can change behaviour, flags, output format, or the minimum supported version.

Triage

• New / renamed / removed subcommand or flag Burrow wraps?
• Bump Burrow's pinned / minimum mo version?
• Breaking change to any output the parser relies on?
• New capability worth surfacing in the GUI or MCP tools?
• Compat smoke-test against V1.45.0.

Upstream release notes

Mole

Deep clean and optimize your Mac.

Changelog

1. mo clean: Redesigned the output: every row follows one "label · detail" grammar, paths with spaces are clickable in the terminal, idle sections stay silent, and duplicate or advisory rows are gone.
2. mo clean: A failed probe can no longer delete your files: a Spotlight stall, an unreadable Time Machine status, or a missing mount list now keeps data in place instead of treating live apps as orphans, which also fixes the Intego breakage.
3. mo clean: The user whitelist now covers direct removals such as Xcode DerivedData, Edge and Brave staged updates survive version cleanup, and the deletion validator rejects Homebrew roots and bare top-level paths.
4. mo uninstall: Side-by-side installs sharing one bundle id, like Xcode-beta next to Xcode, are kept safe, Karabiner-Elements can be uninstalled, and login item helpers are booted out without the sfltool password dialog.
5. mo clean: New cleanup coverage for LM Studio caches, Chrome on-device model stores, stale JetBrains version directories, and Handoff clipboard staging.
6. Performance: Privileged file sweeps batch into a single rm so large log archives clean in seconds instead of minutes, and preference repair plus the Spotlight probe now run under strict time budgets.

更新日志

1. mo clean：清理输出重新梳理了一遍，每行统一成「对象 · 详情」的格式，带空格的路径在终端里可以直接点开，没东西可清的分组不再刷屏，重复和啰嗦的提示都拿掉了。
2. mo clean：修掉几处误删的风险，Spotlight 卡住、Time Machine 状态读不到、磁盘列表拿不到时都会保留文件，不再把正在用的应用当成残留清掉，Intego 被误伤的问题也一并修复。
3. mo clean：白名单对 Xcode DerivedData 这类直接删除的路径也生效了，Edge 和 Brave 已下载好的更新包不会被误清，Homebrew 根目录和裸的顶层路径会被直接拦下。
4. mo uninstall：同一个 bundle id 装了两份时（比如 Xcode 和 Xcode-beta）会识别出来并保护好另一份，Karabiner-Elements 可以正常卸载了，卸载时登录项后台任务直接注销，不再弹 sfltool 密码框。
5. mo clean：新增 LM Studio 缓存、Chrome 本地模型、JetBrains 旧版本目录和 Handoff 剪贴板暂存文件的清理。
6. 性能：需要管理员权限的文件清扫合并成一次批量删除，清大体积日志归档从几分钟降到几秒，偏好设置修复和 Spotlight 检测也都加了时间上限。
