macos-maintenancelisted

Periodic macOS maintenance + optimization — read-only health sweep (pending OS/brew updates, disk health + SMART, memory pressure + swap, battery condition, Time Machine recency, Spotlight indexing state, crash/panic reports, uptime, login-item load) -> ok/attention/action report -> confirmed fixes. Use when the user says "maintain my mac", "mac health check", "tune up my mac", "optimize my mac", "run maintenance", "is my mac healthy", "update everything", or wants a periodic once-over. Also covers targeted fixes when a check or the user flags an issue — Spotlight reindex, Launch Services rebuild, DNS/font cache flush, frozen Finder/Dock, runaway process triage. Storage/junk/leftovers/disk-space -> macos-cleanup instead.

# macOS Maintenance Periodic once-over: sweep (read-only) -> report -> confirm -> apply -> verify. Optimization = real wins only: updates applied, reboot when due, indexing sane, startup load lean. No snake-oil (`purge`, blind cache wipes, repair-permissions theater). Storage/junk -> `macos-cleanup`, hand off. ## Sweep (Read-Only) Run all categories, every one shows up in the report - clean ones as "ok", never silently omitted. Warn up front: `softwareupdate -l` + `diskutil verifyVolume` take a minute+. 1. **Updates** - `softwareupdate -l` (slow); `brew update >/dev/null && brew outdated` (metadata-only refresh, ok in sweep); `brew doctor` (warnings only, most are noise - flag real ones) 2. **Disk health** - `df -h /` free %; `diskutil info disk0 | grep -i smart` -> must say Verified; `diskutil verifyVolume /` (read-only First Aid, live-volume ok); `tmutil listlocalsnapshots /` count (thinning is automatic - report only) 3. **Memory/CPU** - `memory_pressure` (plain run prints summary); `sysctl vm.swapusage` - heavy swap + warning level -> note worst consumers via `top -l 2 -o mem -n 5 -stats pid,command,cpu,mem` 4. **Battery** - `pmset -g batt`; `system_profiler SPPowerDataType | grep -E 'Cycle Count|Condition|Maximum Capacity'` -> Condition ≠ Normal or capacity <80% = attention 5. **Backups** - `tmutil destinationinfo` (configured at all?); `tmutil latestbackup` (may need Full Disk Access -> fallback `tmutil listbackups | tail -1`). Last backup >7d = attention; not confi
