This replaces older, more generic placeholder cleanup logic, and the results (what was removed, and any errors) now show up in the same summary as the existing history and session cleanup.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis keeps cached images from git worktrees from accumulating and taking up disk space indefinitely.\n\n- Area: Elsewhere\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
