+Log Cleanup Cron Job
+====================
+
+Added: 2026-02-26
+
+What: Daily cleanup of session log files in ~/.local/var/log
+
+Problem: Hyprland, waybar, dunst, hypridle, and gammastep each create a new
+timestamped log file per session (e.g., dunst-2026-02-26-050000.log). Without
+cleanup these accumulate indefinitely (~270 files / 3MB as of Feb 2026).
+
+Solution: A cron job runs daily at noon, deleting .log files older than 7 days.
+
+Files added to archsetup:
+- dotfiles/common/.local/bin/cron/log-cleanup (the script)
+
+Installation on fresh system:
+1. Symlink is created by stow/dotfile install (same as checkup, crontog)
+2. Add to crontab:
+ crontab -e
+ # Add this line:
+ 0 12 * * * $HOME/.local/bin/cron/log-cleanup
