Removing GarageBand also moves /Library/Application Support/Logic and /Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple to the Trash, and Logic Pro and MainStage use those for their sound library. When either app is installed, only GarageBand.app goes, and the item says why.

Review follow-up: the apps are looked up by bundle identifier through Launch Services (com.apple.logic10, com.apple.mainstage3, checked against the App Store listing), so an install on an external disk counts too.

Validation on macOS 27.0.1 (26A434), Apple silicon: swift build -c release, git diff --check and all 54 removemacai selftest checks pass (1 added). Neither GarageBand nor Logic Pro is installed on my Mac, so I haven't run this against a real install.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Scans now protect extra files associated with installed Logic Pro, Logic Pro X, MainStage, or MainStage 3 from removal.
    • When those files are protected, the scan displays a caveat naming the installed apps.

Walkthrough

Storage.scan now checks for installed Logic Pro and MainStage variants. If any are installed, the scan excludes an optional app’s associated extra files from removal paths and adds a caveat naming the installed apps.

Storage lists Logic Pro, Logic Pro X, MainStage, and MainStage 3 as sound-library users. When any are installed, the scan excludes associated extra paths from removal and adds a caveat naming those apps.

With Logic Pro installed on an external volume, GarageBand cleanup can move shared sound libraries to Trash. This is a narrow but real risk to users’ audio content.

- Line 96: Update the `sharing` check for `soundLibraryApps` to look for each
app in `/Applications` and in the `Applications` directories of mounted volumes.
Keep an app in `sharing` if it exists in any of those locations so its
sound-library paths are not treated as unused.
