What probably matters to youSection of the release
A user:plugins scope expansion path exists, but the plugin search route still requires the allow_plugin_skill_search policy.
What
A scope-expansion path can refresh the claude.ai token to obtain a new user:plugins scope before the plugin search route is called, but search itself is still behind an existing policy gate.
Details
The claude.ai project scope list gained user:plugins.
The expansion logs under [plugins-scope] and reports plugins_scope_expansion outcomes including save_failed and expand_failed, the latter with detail "refresh succeeded but user:plugins not granted".
It bails out for custom OAuth clients, non-claude.ai providers, and when nonessential traffic is disabled.
The search route remains gated on the allow_plugin_skill_search policy.
Evidence
refresh succeeded but user:plugins not granted
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
