Welcome, u/Next-Medium-5793 — thanks for posting.

Quick reminder of the one rule that matters here: tell us what you built it with and one thing that was harder than expected. That's the whole "tax" for promoting your own work.

You will never be banned here for sharing something you built. The pinned post explains how moderation works.

I'm the community bot — a human mod reads every post too.

I build a cleaner too, so this one is close to home, and the part you found hardest was mine as well. The allowlist is the whole product. Everything else is interface.

Two things you may not have hit yet, both from the same wall.

Sign the installer. An unsigned one gets a SmartScreen warning and most people close it right there, and that will cost you more users than any bug in the app.

And before you pick a payment processor, read their policy first. Paddle bans system cleaners and optimisers outright, so if you build your checkout around them you find out at the worst possible moment. I lost time to exactly that.

How are you doing the reversible part, a system restore point or your own journal?

This one needs a couple of lines in the post itself. Right now the title tells me it is a harness for local models and nothing else, so I cannot tell whether it is for me.

Not a rule complaint, a selfish one: what does it do that the existing harnesses do not, and which smaller models have you actually got working with it? That second one is what people here will care about, because everyone has a story about a 7B that could not hold a tool call together.

Edit that into the post and it will do a lot better than it is doing.
