What
A sync round now returns whether it downloaded or removed anything, and closes a plugins_sync_round trace on every exit: gate closed, policy pending, listing failed, download failed, unexpected error, root refused, or success.
Details
The no-change path also rewrites the plugin record when a plugin's marketplace name or installation preference changed, not only when stale directories were swept.
Evidence

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