Restarting immediately after the plugin rescan races Quickshell IPC handler creation and can crash the exiting shell. The normal update flow already restarts after migrations. Let this migration finish through live enablement and placement without adding timing workarounds.
Link the package into the existing plugin directory and let bar put handle enablement, clock-relative placement, and the missing-clock fallback. Preserve user checkouts and existing placements, and seed the same link for new users. This removes the Atreyu packaged-discovery prerequisite and the checkout cleanup and JSON rewrite machinery.
Retire only checkouts whose refs and reflogs are reachable from recorded origin history, and preserve ignored files. Leave configs without an explicit supported bar layout untouched so migration does not replace the shell fallback with an almost empty bar.

Elsewhen (omacom.elsewhen) arrives as the elsewhen package under
/usr/share/omarchy/plugins, the packaged root the shell scans between its
bundled plugins and the user's. It opens the right section of the default
bar, just before the tray, and a migration installs the package, writes the
widget into a customized shell.json in the same spot, and retires a pristine
pre-package clone of the upstream repo that the package now shadows.
