What to test

• Install from DMG and launch without Gatekeeper warnings.
• Open Large & Old Files: a file downloaded today is not labelled old, and each age label reads Last used, Added or Last modified.
• Open Heavy Consumers: a quit that did not happen is red, and only a quit, a forced quit or an already-gone process is green.
• Run `macsweep scan login-items`: no item shows a Safe marker, and each shows what its file declares.
• Run `macsweep --version`: it prints 2.1.11.
• Homebrew install flow: `brew tap C-TTK/macsweep`, `brew install macsweep`, `macsweep doctor`.

What's new in v2.1.11

This release makes scans and results say what really happened.

• Clears and scans no longer miss what they could not read. Empty Trash, a cache Clear and the privacy wipe now report a folder that macOS could not read in full, with the system's reason, instead of reporting success and leaving items behind. Large Files, Duplicates, the Log Files count and Clear Logs no longer skip a folder that follows a symlink while reporting a complete read.
• Dates, counts and outcomes name what they measured. Large & Old and Downloads no longer call a file you just downloaded old. Log Files rows, Clear Logs and Smart Care's Old Logs saving read "at least" or "Could not be read" for a subfolder MacSweep cannot read. Heavy Consumers no longer shows a quit that did not happen as done, and Full Disk Access says it could not check when it could not.
• Smart Scan runs one at a time. A scan requested during another waits for it, and the menu-bar Smart Scan is unavailable, with the reason in its label, while a scan runs or Smart Clean is cleaning.
• The command-line scan says what it could not read. `macsweep scan large-files`, `macsweep clean large-files` and `macsweep scan` report an unreadable home folder and exit 1. `macsweep scan login-items` makes no safety claim and shows what each item's file declares.
• The Advanced feature list is corrected. SpaceLens lists the largest folders and files and offers Reveal in Finder; it has no delete action, and the website and the in-app tier table no longer promise one.
