Omarchy 4 generates most theme specs from default/themed/neovim.lua.tpl on
top of aether, pinned as `name = "aether", branch = "v3"`. lazy indexes
specs by url and lets an explicit name rename the merged plugin, so the
bare "bjarneo/aether.nvim" entry here built the cache into lazy/aether.nvim
while every aether-themed install renamed that same plugin to lazy/aether at
runtime -- a directory the package never shipped. Picking one of those themes
on a fresh install cloned aether over the network at first launch and left
the session on tokyonight until nvim was restarted. Six stock Omarchy 4
themes route through the template, plus last-horizon.
Naming the entry to match builds the cache into lazy/aether directly. There
is still only one clone: Omarchy 3.8's hackerman theme depends on the bare
"bjarneo/aether.nvim" url, which merges into the same plugin, so 3.8 keeps
resolving offline as before.
Also keep refs/remotes/origin/HEAD when slimming. It pins no objects, but
lazy.nvim resolves the default branch through it for plugins parked on a
detached HEAD by a version pin -- lazy.nvim, LazyVim and blink.cmp. Without
it get_branch() returns nil and every lockfile write asserts, so :Lazy
install/update/sync died with E5113 on a fresh install, taking out the usual
self-heal path too. Regression from 45ca871.

lazy.nvim caches a plugin's resolved opts in plugin._.cache and carries
that state over on a spec reload, and Loader.colorscheme() no-ops for
already-loaded plugins. So switching between two themes driven by the
same colorscheme plugin (e.g. generic themes on aether.nvim) never
pushed the new palette into setup(), leaving stale colors until nvim
was restarted. Fully reload the theme plugin instead, which clears the
cached opts and reruns config with the new theme's colors.
