What
Syncing plugins writes a small file next to the synced directory recording the plugin's id, skipping the write when it already matches. If something other than a file sits at that path, a directory there is moved to trash first.
Details
New telemetry for an invalid id, a failed write and a failed trash move.
The synced-plugin record now also stores the plugin id, the installed version and the requested version.
Runs only after the existing guard verification passes.
Evidence
plugins_sync_sidecar_write_failed
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
