What
The markers Claude Code writes to record that a plugin cache version is in use are now checked before being trusted. A stray file where a marker directory should be is removed with a warning instead of blocking the install, and pruning retries a bounded number of times.
Details
After cleanup the affected version is treated as unpinned until a session marks it again.
Evidence
Removed a non-directory ${Ou} at ${e}; the version reads unpinned until a session marks it again
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
