⚠️ Base branch must be dev. PRs targeting main will be rejected.

Summary

Harden temporary cache cleanup on Windows and prevent repeated cleanup failures from flooding logs. Replace event-driven file tracking with a fresh directory scan for every cleanup cycle, and add a WebUI setting for changing the cleanup interval at runtime without restarting KiraAI.

Type of change

  • feat: New feature
  • fix: Bug fix
  • refactor: Code refactor (no functional change)
  • docs: Documentation update
  • chore: Build, CI, dependencies, or other maintenance
  • style: Code style / formatting (no logic change)
  • test: Adding or updating tests

Changes

  • Change the default temporary cache cleanup interval from 10 seconds to 5 minutes and make it configurable from System → Cache Settings.
  • Apply cache interval changes at runtime and wake the periodic scheduler without requiring a restart.
  • Remove watchfiles; each cleanup cycle now scans data/temp and rebuilds an authoritative file snapshot.
  • Validate the scanned file version before deletion so files replaced or modified during cleanup are deferred safely.
  • Retry Windows permission failures once after making read-only files writable.
  • Persist failed deletion identities for the next cycle, aggregate failures into one warning per cycle, and avoid duplicate attempts across cleanup phases.
  • Protect recent staging directories and remove eligible nested empty directories from deepest to shallowest in one cycle.
  • Remove the unused watchfiles dependency and expand regression coverage for periodic rescanning, replacement races, pending retries, scheduler shutdown, and directory protection.

Screenshots / Logs

No screenshot required. Validation completed successfully:

  • python -m pytest tests/ -q — 583 passed, 1 skipped
  • npm run build — Vue TypeScript check and Vite production build passed
  • python -m compileall -q core/temp_monitor.py tests/test_temp_monitor.py
  • git diff --check

Potential regression areas reviewed: periodic cleanup scheduling and shutdown, runtime configuration refresh, Windows read-only files, scan/delete races, cache accounting, plugin staging directories, dependency removal, and CN/EN WebUI locale parity.

Checklist

  • I have tested these changes locally
  • I have updated documentation if needed
  • New dependencies have been added to requirements.txt (if applicable)
  • If this PR introduces new features, they have been discussed with the owner or maintainer
  • This PR does not introduce breaking changes

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added a cache cleanup interval setting, configurable from 1 to 1,440 minutes and set to 5 minutes by default. Changes take effect immediately.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Cleanup now rescans files each cycle, skips files that change during cleanup, and retries eligible failed deletions. It also removes empty, unprotected directories and handles files created after startup.
    • Cleanup responds to configuration changes and shutdown without waiting for the next scheduled check.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The temporary cache monitor now uses a configurable check interval and rebuilds file and directory snapshots before cleanup. It verifies file versions before deletion, retries eligible failures, and removes eligible empty directories.

Changes

Temporary cache monitoring

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configure the cleanup interval
core/config/default.py, core/lifecycle.py, core/temp_monitor.py, webui/routes/config.py, webui/frontend/src/views/ConfigView.vue, webui/frontend/src/i18n/*.ts, tests/test_temp_monitor.py
The cache configuration adds a check interval in minutes. The UI exposes the setting, and configuration updates notify the monitor. The scheduler waits for the configured interval or a configuration-change or stop notification.
Scan files and verify deletion targets
core/temp_monitor.py, requirements.txt, tests/test_temp_monitor.py
The monitor rebuilds file and directory snapshots before cleanup and records file versions. Deletion checks the scanned version, retries a permission failure once, and distinguishes deleted, missing, changed, and failed outcomes.
Process cleanup candidates
core/temp_monitor.py, tests/test_temp_monitor.py
Cleanup processes prior failures before expiration, count-limit, and size-limit candidates. It updates cache state, retains eligible failures for retry, and removes eligible empty directories.

A failed cleanup can emit a misleading warning that files are protected, obscuring the actual deletion failure. Correct the warning condition before merge.

I’m a rabbit by the cache,
I watch the cleanup timer dash.
Fresh scans mark each file’s trace,
Changed files keep their rightful place.
Empty folders fade from sight,
And retries wait until next night.

Reviewed the CodeRabbit docstring coverage warning. I am not expanding this PR to add docstrings across pre-existing touched functions: it is not a required repository CI check, does not affect the cleanup behavior being fixed, and would introduce unrelated churn. The two actionable stability findings were accepted and fixed in d270c49 with regression tests.

Follow-up architecture update in 08c4f80: removed watchfiles and switched cleanup to a fresh scan each cycle. This eliminates the event/cache mutation race, adds pre-delete file-version validation, preserves failed deletions by stable file identity for explicit next-cycle retries, and snapshots eligible directories before deletion so nested empty directories can be removed in one cycle without touching recent staging paths. Full backend suite: 583 passed, 1 skipped.
