wsl-optimize

Install, configure, verify, or remove the wsl-optimize toolset on a WSL2 machine, and harden the host against silent OOM shutdowns. Use when the user says "install wsl-optimize", "set up WSL memory protection", "my WSL keeps dying", "set up disk automation for WSL", "harden WSL", is provisioning a fresh WSL distro, or wants to uninstall. Covers the tools, the systemd timers, .wslconfig tuning, earlyoom, and persistent journald.

Diagnose and fix memory and disk exhaustion on a WSL2 dev machine that runs many AI coding agents. Use when WSL feels slow, runs out of memory or disk, when VS Code disconnects from WSL or the distro shuts down with no error, when the user says "WSL crashed", "WSL keeps dying", "free up space", "what's using my memory", "reclaim disk", "compact the vhdx", or for routine maintenance. Drives the wslreport, wsl-reclaim, wsl-compact, capmem, and wsl-optimize-doctor command-line tools with a safety-first workflow.
