DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Plugins

Installing a plugin now tells you if it activated, needs a reload, or failed to load.

/reload-plugins/plugin
What

Install and already-installed flows await a reload of the specific plugin id and tailor the confirmation to what actually happened.

Details
  • three outcomes: activated, needs /reload-plugins, or a load failure pointing you at /plugin
  • the install result carries installedDisabled and installedDisabledByDefault
  • a plugin installed in a disabled state is no longer announced as active
Evidence

The plugin couldn't be loaded

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
