Moving from BuhoCleaner

There is no one-tap clean here, on purpose. Flash Clean's place is taken by a preview you read and a confirmation you give. That is slower, and it tells you what is about to go.

What maps to what

In BuhoCleaner	In macleanup
Flash Clean	--all, the safe batch of sections 0, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 15, 18, 22, 26
Xcode cache cleaner	Section 1
Flush DNS cache	Section 20, which also renews DHCP on en0
Uninstall with leftovers	Sections 21 and 12
Disk space analyser	Section 26, as text
Menu bar RAM, CPU and fan monitor	Nothing

Move across

1. Preview what the safe batch would do.

   npx macleanup --dry-run --all

2. Read the honest limits of a preview.

3. Run the batch and answer each prompt.

   npx macleanup --all

4. Writing software? Preview the Xcode section separately. It is not in --all.

   npx macleanup --only 1 --dry-run
