Add Dry-Run / Preview mode (CLI + TUI) #319

Description

@pashkov256

Goal

Allow users to preview what would be deleted/trashed without actually modifying the filesystem.

Why (sanity check)

  • Not nonsense: for deletion tools this is one of the highest-trust features.
  • Low risk, big UX win, helps debugging and safer automation.

CLI activation

  • Add flag: --dry-run
  • Example:
deletor -cli -d ~/Downloads -e mp4,zip --min-size 10mb --dry-run
deletor -cli -d . --rules --dry-run
