Closes #58 — a DiskBuddy-style Quick Wins scan, built on the patterns the tree already ships.

What it does

reclaim walks a root for regenerable directories — node_modules, target, dist, build, .next, .venv, __pycache__ and nineteen more exact base names — sizes each match with the dirsize walker, and answers a listing ranked heaviest first. Per this repo's own rule that a result is a listing like any other, window, thumb, trash and every per-row facility work unchanged: the operator selects rows and dd trashes them, with z (undo) behind it. No new destructive primitive exists anywhere in this patch.

The GUI: R scans the directory the pane stands in; b opens the views overlay and cycles the eight readings — treemap, folders, sunburst, flame, bubbles, mind map, top sizes, age map — all renders of one tree built from the rows. The overlay's Quick Wins button stages every listed tree for the trash in one press; undo covers it.

Design notes

  • The walk is the search walk's shape: bounded slices, one match sized per tick, cancel never blocked behind more than one tree, reclaiming progress lines at most every 100 ms, and a terminal reclaimed line written after the ranking — the same contract searched has.
  • Matches are never descended into (a monorepo's nested node_modules must not answer twice), symlinks are never matched nor descended, other filesystems are never entered, unreadable directories are skipped in silence.
  • The walk seeds the dirsize cache and, on a reclaim listing, a directory row's s carries the measured bytes — so the client's settled size asks answer from cache instead of walking every listed tree a second time, and the views read sizes straight off the rows. Rows the walk never sized (a cancelled scan's tail) fall back to on-demand dirsize exactly like any other directory row.
  • Zero dependencies; the views are two .pragma library files (pure layouts, one drawer) and one 188-line overlay; ui/Pane.qml stays at its 400-line cap by reusing the search state machine with a reclaimWalk flag.
  • Views read the window the client already holds, per the viewport rule; scans bigger than a window render the held part.

Verification

  • cargo test: 433 passed (9 new sandboxed unit tests: exact-name matching, no-descent, heaviest-first ranking, symlink loops, cross-filesystem refusal, bounded slices, one-match-per-tick pacing, unreadable-subtree partial floors, missing root).
  • tests/protocol.sh: 11 new wire checks (listed/reclaiming/reclaimed contract, ranked order, measured s in rows, cache-seeded dirsize answers, cancel semantics, missing root) — all green; the only failures in the suite are the 3 pre-existing media-fixture ones this box also fails on main (verified against a clean checkout).
  • tests/keymap-gen.sh, tests/js.sh green; zero-warning cargo build; ui/Pane.qml at exactly 400 lines.
  • Run by hand on the dev loop (qs -p ui) against a fixture tree: all eight views driven and screenshotted, click-to-row and the Quick Wins trash exercised.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added reclaim scans to find and rank regenerable directories by disk usage.
    • Added progress reporting, cancellation, and size totals for scans.
    • Added reclaim result views with eight visualization modes, including treemap, sunburst, bubbles, and ranked bars.
    • Added a Quick Wins option to select discovered trees for staging.
    • Added keyboard shortcuts and a toolbar button for scans and reclaim views.
  • Documentation

    • Documented the new reclaim and reclaim-cancel protocol requests.

A reclaim request walks a root for regenerable directories (node_modules,
target, dist, build, .venv, __pycache__ and friends), sizes each one with the
dirsize walker, seeds the dirsize cache with what it measured and answers a
listing ranked heaviest first. A result is a listing like any other, so
window, thumb, trash and undo work unchanged; rows the walk never sized are
sized on demand. On a reclaim listing a directory row's s is the measured
bytes, which is what the views read.

The GUI: R scans the directory the pane stands in, b opens and cycles the
eight readings — treemap, folders, sunburst, flame, bubbles, mind map, top
sizes, age map — drawn by ui/js/ReclaimTree.js's layouts and ui/js/
ReclaimPaint.js's one drawer, over the same tree built from the rows. The
strip's Quick Wins stages every listed tree for the trash through the
existing trash request, so undo covers it.

The walk is the search walk's shape: bounded slices, one match sized per
tick, a cancel that is never behind more than one tree, streaming progress
reclaiming lines and a terminal reclaimed line. Matches are never descended
into, symlinks are never matched, other filesystems are never entered.

docs/protocol.md documents the wire; tests/protocol.sh drives the real
backend through eleven reclaim checks and Reclaim.rs carries nine sandbox
unit tests.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 54f4e

Reclaim can cross filesystem boundaries in reachable cases, producing misleading sizes and potentially staging trees that should have been excluded. These boundary violations should be fixed before merge.

232-233: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Stop reclaim before handling Request::ListPaths.

listpaths::answer calls finish_search, which does not clear st.reclaim. An active reclaim can therefore update the new path listing on the next tick. The function also leaves st.reclaim_sizes enabled after replacing the listing.

Call end_reclaim(out, st, pool, true) before replacing the listing, then set st.reclaim_sizes = false.

The chrome bar gains a broom button beside the views it draws: one press
scans where the pane stands and opens the views over it, a press on an open
overlay toggles back to the listing, and the button lights while the views
stand. It is the pointer's half of the R key.

Quick Wins no longer deletes anything. It selects every tree the scan found
and steps the overlay aside, so the listing comes back with the trees
highlighted and the seeing comes before the dd; z and esc back out of the
selection, undo stays behind the trash that follows.

- ListPaths ends a running reclaim (and its measured-bytes flag) before the
  picker's listing replaces it, exactly as list and search do.
- The device check now refuses a foreign-filesystem entry before the target
  match, so a mount named node_modules is neither listed nor sized across
  the boundary; the cross-filesystem test grows the target-named child.
- Top Sizes sorts its bars descending: tree discovery order is readdir
  order, not the rank the listing answers in.
- A backend failure clears a running scan's flag, so esc closes instead of
  cancelling a walk nothing is walking.
- The views overlay stores its painted shapes where click hit-testing reads
  them, so a click lands the cursor on the row it drew.
- Quick Wins staging waits for the terminal line: a mid-walk rank would
  reshuffle the selection it hands back.
- protocol.md states a cancelled walk's bytes total covers the trees sized
  before the cancel.
The chrome edit that added the reclaim button replaced the line the
back arrow's handler lived on, so a click on the arrow stopped going
back. onBackRequested is back on the pane, next to its up sibling.

105-131: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Preserve the reclaim root-device boundary during sizing.

Reclaim::read_one rejects entries whose device differs from self.dev, but dirsize::walk recurses into every non-symlink directory without a device check. A matched directory can therefore include a nested mount. Its bytes enter self.bytes and st.dirsizes, which makes reclaim totals and displayed sizes include data outside the reclaim filesystem. The synchronous walk can also delay ReclaimCancel until its two-second deadline. Add a device-aware dirsize mode for reclaim and pass self.dev; keep ordinary dirsize::walk behavior unchanged.

Reject entries when device metadata is unavailable.

If entry.metadata() fails, unwrap_or(0) produces an apparently acceptable device. Line 156 then permits the entry, so the walker can descend into or match a filesystem that it did not verify. Treat metadata failure as continue, and represent an unavailable root device separately from a real device value.
