What
Copying a plugin into the cache now opens files without following symlinks where the platform allows it, and re-checks during the walk that directories are still directories and files still regular files. If something is swapped mid-copy the copy aborts with an explicit error instead of following the new path.
Evidence
plugin copy source swapped for a non-regular file mid-copy
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
