Storage cleanup now falls back to a new config-home path instead of giving up when the usual location can't be resolved

What

The periodic cleanup routine that sweeps old storage now tries a new function to find its root directory, and if that doesn't return a value, falls back to another new function instead of aborting the cleanup entirely as it did before.

Why

This means cleanup can still run in more cases where the primary storage location can't be determined, rather than silently skipping the sweep.

How sure we are
Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
The writer flagged doubtThe finding does not specify what the new fallback path resolves to or why the original lookup can fail.
