Installing a plugin no longer yanks a cached copy out from under your other sessions.

What
Installing or linking a plugin now classifies an existing cached copy as in use by another session, safe to reuse as-is, or unclassifiable, and that decides whether the cache is reused or overwritten. An overwrite waits for other sessions to finish rather than pulling the directory out from under them.
Details
- Removal logs say
supersededwhen a newer version replaced the cache andincompletewhen the previous write did not finish. - Always active for plugin installs; there is no flag.
Evidence
Removing ${qe || Ne ? "superseded" : "incomplete"} cache directory for ${t} at ${F}
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
