You are going to completely and surgically remove Adobe from
this machine. Treat it like a surgeon excising a tumor: take
out ALL of it, leave every healthy tissue untouched. FIRST
detect my operating system (macOS, Windows, or Linux) and use
the locations and commands that match it. Read every rule
below before you run a single command.

SCOPE — WHAT COUNTS AS "ADOBE":
In scope is the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app, every Adobe
application (Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, Lightroom,
After Effects, Acrobat, InDesign, Bridge, Media Encoder, XD,
Audition, Animate, Dreamweaver, and any other), AND every
Adobe background service, helper, agent, daemon, scheduled
task, auto-start / login item, preference, registry key,
cache, log, saved state, plug-in, font folder, and installer
record that belongs to them.

An item is "Adobe" ONLY if it unambiguously belongs to Adobe:
  - its path or registry key contains "Adobe"
    (case-insensitive), OR
  - its bundle id / service name / launchd label / scheduled
    task is "com.adobe." or a named Adobe service, OR
  - it is a known Adobe helper: Creative Cloud, Core Sync,
    CCXProcess, CCLibrary, AdobeIPCBroker, AdobeGCClient,
    AGSService, AGMService, Adobe Genuine, Adobe Desktop
    Service, AdobeUpdateService, Adobe Crash Reporter.
If it does not clearly meet that bar, it is NOT in scope.

THE SURGEON'S RULES — DO NOT BREAK THESE:
1. INVENTORY BEFORE YOU CUT. Phase 1 is read-only. Do not
   delete, move, or modify anything — no files, no services,
   no registry keys — until I approve the full manifest.
2. NEVER touch anything that isn't unambiguously Adobe. When
   in doubt, leave it and ask me.
3. NEVER delete my own work. Find but DO NOT remove my
   documents and project files (.psd, .psb, .ai, .indd,
   .prproj, .aep, .pdf, exports, presets I made, etc.). List
   where they are so I can decide for myself.
4. DO NOT touch shared or possibly-shared components. If
   something could be used by a non-Adobe app — the Adobe AIR
   runtime/framework, shared system fonts, anything owned by
   a package manager (Homebrew, apt/dnf, winget, Chocolatey),
   the hosts file (/etc/hosts or
   C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts), the OS credential
   store (macOS Keychain, Windows Credential Manager, Linux
   Secret Service), or any registry key OUTSIDE the Adobe
   trees — DO NOT delete it. Flag it for me with a reason
   instead. On Linux, if Adobe lives inside a Wine / Bottles
   / PlayOnLinux prefix that also holds non-Adobe apps,
   remove ONLY the Adobe subtree, never the whole prefix.
5. Use EXACT absolute paths / full key names, ONE item at a
   time. No broad wildcards (never `rm -rf ~/Library/*`,
   never delete a whole registry hive) that could sweep up a
   non-Adobe neighbor.
6. Stop and ask me whenever anything is ambiguous.

PHASE 1 — INVENTORY (read-only). Detect the OS, then
exhaustively locate every Adobe artifact in the right places:
  - macOS: running processes; launchd jobs (`launchctl list
    | grep -i adobe`); login items; /Applications and
    /Applications/Utilities; everything Adobe under ~/Library
    and /Library (Application Support, Caches, Preferences
    incl. ByHost, Logs, Saved Application State, Cookies,
    LaunchAgents, LaunchDaemons, PrivilegedHelperTools,
    Internet Plug-Ins, CrashReporter); the Adobe fonts folder
    (~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CoreSync); receipts
    (`pkgutil --pkgs | grep -i adobe`). Use `mdfind` for
    strays.
  - Windows: Adobe processes; services (`Get-Service
    *Adobe*`, plus AGSService, AGMService, AdobeUpdateService,
    Adobe Acrobat Update Service); scheduled tasks
    (`Get-ScheduledTask *Adobe*`); install dirs (C:\Program
    Files\Adobe, C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe, C:\Program
    Files\Common Files\Adobe); user/system data
    (%AppData%\Adobe, %LocalAppData%\Adobe, %ProgramData%\
    Adobe, %Public%\Adobe); Start Menu Adobe shortcuts;
    auto-start Run keys; and registry trees (HKCU\Software\
    Adobe, HKLM\SOFTWARE\Adobe, HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\
    Adobe) plus Adobe uninstall entries.
  - Linux: Adobe processes and any systemd units
    (`systemctl list-units | grep -i adobe`); native installs
    (/opt/Adobe, .desktop entries in ~/.local/share/
    applications and /usr/share/applications); dotfiles
    (~/.adobe, ~/.macromedia, ~/.config/Adobe, ~/.cache/
    Adobe); and Adobe folders INSIDE Wine / Bottles /
    PlayOnLinux / Lutris prefixes (native Adobe CC doesn't
    exist on Linux — it's almost always under Wine).
Record the full absolute path / key name and size of each
item. Then show me ONE manifest, grouped by category, with
the total disk space to reclaim — and WAIT for my explicit
go-ahead before deleting anything.

PHASE 2 — STOP THE VITALS. After I approve: quit Creative
Cloud and all Adobe apps gracefully, then stop every Adobe
background process and service so nothing relaunches —
  - macOS: terminate Adobe processes; `launchctl bootout`
    each Adobe agent/daemon BEFORE deleting its plist.
  - Windows: `Stop-Service` then `sc delete` each Adobe
    service; disable Adobe Run-key auto-starts; unregister
    Adobe scheduled tasks.
  - Linux: stop/disable any Adobe systemd unit; kill Wine
    Adobe processes.

PHASE 3 — EXCISE. Prefer Adobe's OWN uninstallers when
present (per-app uninstallers, the Creative Cloud uninstaller,
or the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool on macOS/Windows if it's in
my Downloads) — they unregister cleanly. Then manually remove
every remaining in-scope item from the approved manifest,
using the OS-correct method:
  - Files/dirs: delete by exact absolute path.
  - macOS: `pkgutil --forget` every com.adobe.* receipt.
  - Windows: delete the Adobe registry trees and Adobe
    uninstall/Run entries by full key name (reg delete /
    Remove-Item), and remove Adobe Start Menu shortcuts.
  - Linux: remove the Adobe subtree inside any Wine prefix
    and the Adobe .desktop entries; for package-managed Adobe
    bits (e.g. flashplugin), flag for me instead of forcing.
Each privileged/destructive step (sudo, Administrator, `rm
-rf`, reg delete) needs my approval — let it prompt me.

PHASE 4 — VERIFY (no dangling). Re-scan every location from
Phase 1 for my OS. Confirm zero Adobe files or folders remain,
zero Adobe services / launchd jobs / systemd units, zero Adobe
processes, zero Adobe scheduled tasks or auto-start entries,
zero Adobe registry keys (Windows), and zero Adobe receipts
(macOS). List anything that survived and exactly why (locked,
in use, permission denied) along with how to finish it off.

PHASE 5 — REPORT (classify everything). End with a summary
that CLASSIFIES every action you took:
  - REMOVED — Applications
  - REMOVED — Background services, agents, daemons, scheduled
    tasks, auto-starts
  - REMOVED — Support files, caches, preferences, logs, state
  - REMOVED — Registry keys (Windows) / receipts (macOS)
  - Disk space reclaimed (total)
  - LEFT UNTOUCHED ON PURPOSE — my documents/work files (with
    paths), shared or ambiguous items (with the reason),
    anything I told you to skip
  - COULD NOT REMOVE — with the reason and how to finish it
Then a final "ANYTHING ELSE TO WORRY ABOUT?" section covering:
my Adobe subscription is still billing and must be cancelled
at adobe.com (you can't do that from this machine); any Adobe
credentials still in my OS credential store I may want to
remove manually; Adobe Fonts now being unavailable in other
apps; and anything else I should know before considering this
done.
