kiln-cleanup

To clean up stale QA artifacts, purge subdirectories like test-results, playwright-report, videos, traces, and screenshots. The process operates idempotently to safely remove accumulated files while preserving the directory structure.

Yes, you can preview deletions by running the purge in dry-run mode. Dry-run reports the counts and sizes of stale artifacts across all subdirectories without actually deleting anything, allowing you to confirm the impact first.

If the .kiln/qa/ directory is missing during an artifact purge, the process gracefully handles it without throwing errors. It simply skips the deletion and provides a final summary of the actions taken or planned.

Yes, artifact cleanup works idempotently across multiple runs. Repeated executions do not delete already-purged content or cause errors, ensuring safe automation for reclaiming disk space from Playwright reports and test results.

The best way to automate purging Playwright videos and traces is to run the cleanup without dry-run mode after verifying the impact. This safely removes stale files from the .kiln/qa/ directory and reports the reclaimed disk space.
