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.
