Deletion is also held back by a per-directory age threshold.\n\n**Details**\n\n- Runs automatically as maintenance; an early-return check can also skip it.\n\n**Evidence**\n\n`Skipping the orphaned-version sweep: the cache root volume could not be read to map its WSL companion views`\n\n- Area: Plugins\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
