LSJ-PF-002

Systems operations

macOS diagnostics, storage reduction, shell/session isolation, and throughput validation performed through native tooling, direct output review, and reversible remediation paths.

Validated areas

Storage remediation

System Data analysis through filesystem inspection.
Largest contributors isolated at container and group-container level.
Delete-safe stores separated from app-managed stores before action.

Network validation

Observed throughput mapped to negotiated link speed.
Adapter chipset identified directly from system hardware output.
Physical bottleneck established before recommending replacement path.

Operational triage

Highest-return actions sequenced first.
Recommendations driven by actual terminal output, not assumption.
Outcome confirmed through before / after evidence.

Proof

Storage recovery

Container-level inspection reduced a major library footprint from approximately 54 GB to 13 GB after validated removal of the primary virtual-machine container.

Root cause attribution

Largest contributors were identified explicitly: UTM, Docker, and messaging-related stores.

Link-speed ceiling

Negotiated Ethernet speed was confirmed at 1000baseT and traced to an ASIX AX88179B adapter, establishing the 1 Gb ceiling despite higher ISP service.
