What

New code can clear the skills sync directory when the feature is turned off, trashing stray entries and moving bucket contents out, and it logs how many items it moved.

Details
  • Events recorded are skills_sync_stray_entry_trashed and skills_sync_pruned_for_closed_gate with a moved count; a sync root that fails validation logs skills_sync_root_refused with phase "prune" and nothing is touched.
  • The prune runs only if a helper check passes; that check returns early otherwise, and what decides it is not visible in this build.
Evidence

skills_sync_pruned_for_closed_gate

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