The following configuration does not skip the js/main.js file:

{
  clean: {
    js: ['js/', '!js/main.js']
  }
}

Is it intented ?

Research direction
Examine the clean task's file matching logic, especially how negation patterns are handled. Check the grunt.file.delete method and the globbing library used.
