The point is inspection first: make the mess legible before deciding what, if anything, should happen next.\n\n## What it protects\n\nFolder cleanup tools can become risky quickly when they jump straight to automation. Sweep Inspector takes the opposite stance: it observes without acting, giving you a clearer view of what is in a folder while leaving all destructive or reorganising decisions in human hands.\n\n## Current status\n\nBuilding. The source repository is currently private."}
