Plugin sync rejects bare-repo layouts and retries directories it could not delete

You'll notice
Useful3 Signal2
Plugins

Plugin sync refuses bare-repo layouts, retries undeletable directories, and redownloads vanished plugins.

What

Plugin sync now skips any path component named .git during extraction and refuses a tree that looks like a bare git repository. Directories that could not be removed are recorded and retried on the next sync, and a previously synced plugin whose directory has disappeared is downloaded again.

Details
  • Undeletable directories go into a new staleDirs list in the plugin manifest, so cleanup is retried rather than forgotten.
  • Removal of trashed directories is drained in a finally block, so a failure mid-sync no longer leaves the work half done.
Evidence

extracted tree carries a bare-repo layout

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
