What
A plugin version installed as a symlink, which is how local development checkouts are usually set up, is no longer flagged as orphaned and cleaned up.
Details
The install path is checked for being a symlink before the orphan marker is written, and the code logs "Not marking a symlinked plugin version: <path>" and stops.
Evidence
Not marking a symlinked plugin version
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
