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.
