Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Retention cleanup now sweeps synced plugin and skill directories

You'll notice

Elsewhere

Cleanup now also trashes old synced plugin and skill folders.

What

The normal retention sweep gained two passes that walk per-machine folders under the plugin-sync and skill-sync roots and move directories older than the cutoff to trash, counting fresh and past-cutoff files into the usual totals. They run for everyone whenever cleanup runs.

Details
  • Failures are reported as plugins_sync_trash_move_failed and skills_sync_trash_move_failed.
  • If a root does not resolve to a real, non-redirected path the sweep refuses it and records cleanup_sweep_root_refused.
Evidence

skills_sync_trash_move_failed

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