/**
 * Caps the size of Turbopack's dev filesystem cache.
 *
 * `experimental.turbopackFileSystemCacheForDev` is ON (see `apps/sim/next.config.ts`)
 * because it makes dev-server restarts 5.4x faster and cuts RSS ~1.9x. The tradeoff
 * is that the cache is an append-heavy LSM store with no upstream GC: it grows with
 * every route compiled and every code change, and it is never pruned. An abandoned
 * cache in this repo reached 78 GB across 1,848 SST files.
 *
 * A stale cache is also slower to read back, so an unbounded one eventually erodes
 * the win it exists to provide. This script drops the whole cache once it crosses a
 * threshold; Turbopack rebuilds it on the next run (one cold compile, ~32s).
 *
 * Also the remedy when Turbopack aborts with `Cache corruption detected:
 * checksum mismatch` — it does not self-heal from a corrupted cache, so prune
 * and restart. (An ordinary hard kill does not corrupt it; Turbopack discards a
 * partial write and rebuilds silently.)
 *
 * Runs automatically before every `dev` script. Also invokable directly:
 *   bun run scripts/prune-turbopack-cache.ts            # prune if over the cap
 *   bun run scripts/prune-turbopack-cache.ts --force    # always prune
 *   bun run scripts/prune-turbopack-cache.ts --dry-run  # report only
 *
 * Override the cap with `SIM_TURBOPACK_CACHE_MAX_GB` (default 20).
 *
 * The cap is a backstop, not routine maintenance. A normal session's cache sits
 * around 1-2 GB; the 78 GB case was a month of accumulation while the feature was
 * effectively abandoned. Measured cost of the size walk: ~30ms on a real cache,
 * ~85ms at 2,000 files — under 2% of a warm restart.
 *
 * Safe to run while a dev server is live, which happens if a second server is
 * started from the same checkout: the running server keeps its in-memory state
 * and continues serving (verified — no crash, no corruption). It does stop
 * persisting for the rest of that session, so its *next* start is cold once, then
 * back to normal. Nothing to clean up.
 *
 * Note for anyone benchmarking the cache: stop the dev server with SIGINT, not
 * `kill -9`. Turbopack discards a partially-written cache and rebuilds silently,
 * so a hard kill makes a real cache win read as no win at all.
