What probably matters to youSection of the release
What
Finishing an install from the /plugin flow now reloads plugins in the running session and tells you the result, so a freshly installed plugin is usable without a separate reload step.
Details
Shows an "Activating plugin…" spinner while the in-session reload runs.
Completion message reports the outcome: " Plugin is now active." on success, " The plugin couldn't be loaded — see /plugin for details." on a load error.
Falls back to " Run /reload-plugins to apply." only when activation cannot be attempted, including when the live plugin-state getter is not available.
Activation is skipped, falling back to reload-required, when the reload reports wouldInvalidateCache, i.e. it would bust the prompt cache.
No flag guards this; it is reachable for everyone on this build.
Usage
/plugin
Evidence
Plugin is now active.
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
