I've opened a draft PR implementing a `purge-check` goal that addresses this: https://github.com/apache/maven-clean-plugin/pull/356 **Approach:** rather than maintaining a build-state database, the goal uses a simple heuristic — a direct child directory of `basedir` is considered orphaned when its **only non-hidden child is `target/`**. A live sub-project always has at least a `pom.xml` alongside its build directory, so this is a reliable signal. **Lifecycle integration:** the goal is designed to be bound to `initialize` in Maven core 4.1.0, so it would run automatically on every build (not just `mvn clean`), covering the `git pull --rebase && mvn install` scenario too. The PR only adds the goal; the binding in maven-core will come separately. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
