Step 0: Detect Ghost Installation (Run First)

Check for inconsistent plugin state that can occur after failed installations:

macOS/Linux:

# Check 1: Cache exists?
CLAUDE_DIR="${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.claude}"
CACHE_EXISTS=$(ls -d "$CLAUDE_DIR/plugins/cache/claude-hud" 2>/dev/null && echo "YES" || echo "NO")

# Check 2: Registry entry exists?
REGISTRY_EXISTS=$(grep -q "claude-hud" "$CLAUDE_DIR/plugins/installed_plugins.json" 2>/dev/null && echo "YES" || echo "NO")

# Check 3: Temp files left behind?
TEMP_FILES=$(ls -d "$CLAUDE_DIR/plugins/cache/temp_local_"* 2>/dev/null | head -1)

echo "Cache: $CACHE_EXISTS | Registry: $REGISTRY_EXISTS | Temp: ${TEMP_FILES:-none}"

Windows (PowerShell):

$claudeDir = if ($env:CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR) { $env:CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR } else { Join-Path $HOME ".claude" }
$cache = Test-Path (Join-Path $claudeDir "plugins\cache\claude-hud")
$registry = (Get-Content (Join-Path $claudeDir "plugins\installed_plugins.json") -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) -match "claude-hud"
$temp = Get-ChildItem (Join-Path $claudeDir "plugins\cache\temp_local_*") -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
Write-Host "Cache: $cache | Registry: $registry | Temp: $($temp.Count) files"

Interpreting Results

Cache	Registry	Meaning	Action
YES	YES	Normal install (may still be broken)	Continue to Step 1
YES	NO	Ghost install - cache orphaned	Clean up cache
NO	YES	Ghost install - registry stale	Clean up registry
NO	NO	Not installed	Continue to Step 1

If temp files exist, a previous install was interrupted. Clean them up.

Cleanup Commands

If ghost installation detected, ask user if they want to reset. If yes:

macOS/Linux:

CLAUDE_DIR="${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.claude}"

# Remove orphaned cache
rm -rf "$CLAUDE_DIR/plugins/cache/claude-hud"

# Remove temp files from failed installs
rm -rf "$CLAUDE_DIR/plugins/cache/temp_local_"*

# Reset registry (removes ALL plugins - warn user first!)
# Only run if user confirms they have no other plugins they want to keep:
echo '{"version": 2, "plugins": {}}' > "$CLAUDE_DIR/plugins/installed_plugins.json"
