   Note that storage space taken up by local models is not reclaimed and remains dormant on your Mac until you're nearly out of space.

      Philosophically, what is the difference between empty space and space that will be reclaimed when you need it?

      The storage medium tracks whether a cell or sector is overwritable. The filesystem tracks whether a block is allocated. And the OS tracks whether a cache is evictable.

      At what layer do you consider the space “claimed”?

         Realistically, the 'claim space' service needs to run when the OS 'thinks' it has run out of space to reclaim it. And there can be M amount of waiting time for this and N number of issues that may arrive with it.
