Three ownership-loss paths found in review, all variations on discarding the manifest while the file it describes is still on disk. `remove` deleted the manifest unconditionally. When it deliberately kept a file the user had edited, the next install saw an untracked file and overwrote those edits without --force, undoing the preservation that removal had just performed. It now writes back a manifest covering everything still present, and only deletes it when the directory is actually empty. The same applied to files it could not delete: the record vanished, the file stayed, and removal still reported success. Those are now retained, reported, and retried by a later run. Upgrade cleanup had the mirror problem, dropping stale entries from the new manifest even when deletion failed, orphaning a file we know we wrote. It keeps tracking those so a later install can retry. A failed manifest write during removal is now a warning rather than an abort, since the previous manifest still lists every retained file and other targets should still be processed.
