Free Jetson memory when you don't need a desktop.

What it does

Reclaims memory on a Jetson by planning and applying user-approved changes that turn off the desktop and nonessential services.

When to use it

Use when the user does not need a GUI, is deploying a headless inference appliance, or an audit finds graphical services active on a headless device.

How to use it

Give it a current memory-audit JSON snapshot; it returns a reclamation plan and, with explicit approval, applies reversible changes on the device.

Requires a Jetson host, accessed directly or through a host-visible sandbox with access to its systemd state.

Requires Python 3 to parse the plan JSON; the planning script also invokes python3.
