+Path garbage collection had some known unsoundness issues where it would delete things improperly and cause desynchronization between the filesystem state and the database state.
+Now Lix tolerates better if such a condition exists by not failing the entire GC if a path fails to delete.
+We also fixed a bug in our file locking implementation that is one possible root cause, but may not be every root cause.
