Target: main

The free-space action removes /Library/Developer/CoreSimulator, but the backing simulator runtime images (iOS/xrOS/watchOS/tvOS) are staged separately under /System/Library/AssetsV2 as MobileAssets.

  • Deletes the four simulator runtime asset trees, reclaiming ~113GB on arm64 macOS runners (verified live on a macos-15-xlarge runner: 167GB → 280GB free, takes <1s)

Notes: none
