What
The sweep that deletes leftover plugin install directories now resolves the WSL companion views of the plugin cache before deciding what is orphaned, and skips the sweep entirely with a debug log if the cache root volume cannot be read. Deletion is also held back by a per-directory age threshold.
Details
Runs automatically as maintenance; an early-return check can also skip it.
Evidence
Skipping the orphaned-version sweep: the cache root volume could not be read to map its WSL companion views
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
