+ * of a 15-minute tick. The repo's logging contract says log the success branch
+ * too, which is correct and is exactly why the files grow: the cost of that
+ * rule is bounded here, not by logging less.
+ *
+ * A cap DID exist for sync.log — buried in `raw-evidence-gc.ts`, 50 MB,
+ * truncate-to-zero with no archive. It could not work: the GC is throttled to
+ * once a day and skipped outright by `COCKPIT_DISABLE_GC`, while the log grows
+ * about 8 MB an hour on an active machine, so the file spent almost all of its
+ * life several times over the cap (last GC 19 hours before the measurement
+ * above). sync.err.log had no cap at all. That copy is gone; this is the one
+ * owner, it runs every tick, and it keeps an archive instead of destroying the
+ * only record of what happened.
+ *
+ * WHY TRUNCATE-AFTER-COPY, NOT RENAME-AND-REOPEN
+ *
+ * launchd opens StandardOutPath/StandardErrorPath once and holds that fd for
+ * the life of the job (the paths are right there in the `launchctl print`
+ * capture pinned in autostart.test.ts). Renaming the file does not move the fd:
+ * the job would keep writing into the renamed — eventually unlinked — inode, so
+ * the disk would never be reclaimed and `sync.err.log` would stop receiving new
+ * lines entirely until the agent was reloaded. Only the tick can reopen it, and
+ * the tick is not the writer; launchd is.
+ *
+ * A dated StandardErrorPath plus a pruner was the other candidate and is worse:
+ * it changes the plist on a schedule, every change has to be re-registered
+ * (which on macOS means the BLI-2583 bootout/bootstrap hazard), and it makes
+ * the rendered-plist comparison in autostartStatus a moving target — the exact
+ * shape that made every Windows machine read "needs repair" in BLI-2541.
+ *
+ * So: copy the last `maxBytes` of the file aside, then `truncate(path, 0)`.
+ * Same inode, so launchd's fd stays valid and its next write lands at offset 0
+ * of a file operators can read. The tail is capped rather than copied whole, so
+ * the archives cannot themselves become the disk problem — worst case on disk
+ * is (keep + 1) x maxBytes per stream.
