i was expecting more a human review than an AI context dump, but whatever. i’m conflicted. i’ve been through my share of vim plugin manager migrations, including the recent big change to Lazy. i’m tired boss, and i’m worried about bloat. i hope this feature works out, but i’m gonna let it bake for a while.

Yes. I now just git clone into the pack directory. None of the plugin managers has been as reliable, for me.
