msu-statusline-uninstall

Removal is two layers, and they are not the same request. Unwiring takes the line out of the user's settings.json and deletes what the install wrote. Uninstalling removes the plugin from Claude Code. Unwiring alone stops the line.

Uninstalling alone does not. MEASURED: claude plugin uninstall empties the registry and enabledPlugins, and leaves the version directory under $CONFIG/plugins/cache/ in place with a .orphaned_at marker and its scripts still executable — which is exactly what the launcher globs for, so the line goes on rendering. claude plugin disable leaves it just as intact. Neither one is a way to switch the status line off.

Unwire first, always. Uninstalling the plugin takes this skill with it, so the order that looks equivalent ends with a status line still wired into the user's settings and nothing left that knows how to remove it. Recovering means reinstalling the plugin to get this skill back.

If the request does not say which layer it means, ask. "Remove the status line" is usually the unwire; "uninstall the plugin" is both, in that order.
