Requires the daemon-wide **Enable plugins** switch under Settings → Plugins.

### Source README

#### paseo-archive-branch-cleanup

A [Paseo](https://paseo.sh) plugin that automatically deletes the local git branch when a Paseo-owned worktree workspace is archived.

##### Why

When you archive a PR worktree workspace in Paseo, the daemon removes the worktree directory but leaves the local branch behind. Over time these stale branches accumulate. This plugin cleans them up automatically.

##### How it works

The plugin runs a background watcher inside the Paseo daemon plugin subprocess:

1. Connects to the local Paseo daemon via `@getpaseo/client`
2. Subscribes to workspace update events
3. Caches branch and repo info for Paseo-owned worktree workspaces from upsert events
4. On a workspace `remove` event, deletes the cached branch from the main repo with `git branch -D`

Branch deletion retries for up to 30 seconds, because the daemon may still be removing the worktree (the branch stays checked out until the worktree is gone).

##### Safety

- Only touches workspaces where `gitRuntime.isPaseoOwnedWorktree === true` (branches Paseo created)
- Refuses to delete main-line branches (`main`, `master`, `trunk`, `develop`, `dev`, `production`, `prod`, `release/*`) even on a Paseo-owned worktree, since a worktree can check out an existing branch
- Only deletes the **local** branch (`git branch -D`), never the remote
- Branch name is resolved from `githubRuntime.pullRequest.headRefName`, falling back to `gitRuntime.currentBranch`
- Deletion runs in the main repo root (`project.checkout.mainRepoRoot`), not the worktree

##### Install

```sh
paseo plugin install /absolute/path/to/paseo-archive-branch-cleanup
```

Requires the daemon-wide **Enable plugins** switch under Settings → Plugins.

##### Requirements

- Paseo daemon reachable on the local machine. The plugin auto-detects the listen target from `PASEO_HOME/config.json` (`daemon.listen`), falling back to `127.0.0.1:6767`.
- Git CLI on PATH

##### Development

```sh
npm run typecheck        # type-check
paseo plugin reload paseo-archive-branch-cleanup   # reload after edits
paseo plugin logs paseo-archive-branch-cleanup      # view backend output
```
