What
Cleaning up orphaned plugin versions now stops if the target lies outside the plugin cache directory ("Not writing .orphaned_at outside the plugin cache root") or cannot be classified as a plugin version path. Cleanup also keeps directories holding versioned .zip archives instead of deleting them.
Details
Runs on every plugin cache garbage collection pass; no gate.
Evidence
Not writing .orphaned_at outside the plugin cache root
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
