The default excludes now also cover caches that programs and package managers fill again on their own, as #181 asks.
Linux adds /var/cache and, for /root and each /home/*, .cache, .npm, .cargo/registry and go/pkg/mod.
macOS adds /private/var/folders, /Library/Caches and, for /private/var/root (root's home) and each /Users/*, Library/Caches plus the same four.
The README lists both, and explains that * stands for one directory name. scan --help prints the list of the system it runs on.
--no-default-excludes still turns all of them off.
The Windows list is unchanged: the binary does not build for Windows.
Judgement call: "each user's $HOME/.cache" is covered with the fixed patterns /root/... and /home/*/... (on macOS /private/var/root/... and /Users/*/...), not by reading $HOME. A home directory outside those places (for example /srv/someuser) is still walked. Covering it would mean reading home directories from the user database. That is a small change, but it makes the list depend on the machine.
Judgement call: the package-manager caches picked are npm, Cargo's registry and the Go module cache. pip, yarn and Go's build cache already live under .cache. Maven's .m2/repository is left out, because mvn install puts locally built artifacts there.
Unverified: the macOS list on a Mac; no macOS host was available.

The default excludes now also cover caches that programs and package managers fill again on their own, as https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/sfdupes/issues/181 asks.
- Linux adds `/var/cache` and, for `/root` and each `/home/*`, `.cache`, `.npm`, `.cargo/registry` and `go/pkg/mod`.
- macOS adds `/private/var/folders`, `/Library/Caches` and, for `/private/var/root` (root's home) and each `/Users/*`, `Library/Caches` plus the same four.
- The README lists both, and explains that `*` stands for one directory name. `scan --help` prints the list of the system it runs on.
- `--no-default-excludes` still turns all of them off.
The Windows list is unchanged: the binary does not build for Windows.
Judgement call: "each user's `$HOME/.cache`" is covered with the fixed patterns `/root/...` and `/home/*/...` (on macOS `/private/var/root/...` and `/Users/*/...`), not by reading `$HOME`. A home directory outside those places (for example `/srv/someuser`) is still walked. Covering it would mean reading home directories from the user database.

internal/sfdupes/exclude.go, macOS case of defaultExcludes, plus the README's macOS list and TestDefaultExcludes: root's caches are not excluded on macOS. The Linux list covers root through /root/..., but the macOS list has only /Users/*/.... Root's home on macOS is /var/root, which the walk reaches as /private/var/root, and the README says to run scan as root. The issue asks for each user's $HOME/.cache. Acceptable: add /private/var/root/Library/Caches, /private/var/root/.cache, /private/var/root/.npm, /private/var/root/.cargo/registry and /private/var/root/go/pkg/mod to the code, the README and the test.
README.md, "Rules for the walk": "In the lists, * stands for any one directory name, so /home/*/.cache covers each user's cache." This is false. The pattern covers only homes directly under /home, and a home anywhere else is walked. The new TODO.md entry ("each user's .cache") and the comment above the Linux list in exclude.go ("each user's") make the same claim. Acceptable: short, correct sentences, for example "* stands for any one directory name, so /home/*/.cache matches /home/alice/.cache", and "each user's" changed to "each home in /home" (and /Users on macOS).
internal/sfdupes/exclude_test.go, TestRunScanTempDirOperand: the skip check underAnyRoot(dir, defaultExcludes(runtime.GOOS)) compares each entry as a literal path prefix, so it never matches the new * entries. With TMPDIR under /home/alice/.cache, the test skips even though its temp directory is inside a default exclude. Acceptable: skip only when isDefaultExclude matches neither the temp directory nor any directory above it.
The branch conflicts with current next in TODO.md. The Completed Steps entry for #177 was added at the same place. Acceptable: rebase onto next and keep both entries, with this one first.
Unverified: the macOS lists were checked by reading only. No macOS host was available.
Judgement call: not a finding that homes outside /home, /root and /Users are still walked, since the PR body discloses it. Whether to read home directories from the user database is the owner's decision.

Added the five /private/var/root caches to the macOS list in defaultExcludes, TestDefaultExcludes and the README, which now also says that /private/var/root is root's home.
The README now says /home/*/.cache matches /home/alice/.cache. The TODO.md entry and the Linux comments in exclude.go and TestIsDefaultExclude say "each home in /home" instead of "each user's".
The skip check tests the temporary directory and each directory above it with isDefaultExclude, in the new test helper insideDefaultExclude.
