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.

Symlinked plugin checkouts are no longer marked orphaned

You'll notice
Useful3 Signal1
Plugins

Symlinked plugin checkouts used for development are no longer cleaned up as orphans.

What

A plugin version installed as a symlink, which is how local development checkouts are usually set up, is no longer flagged as orphaned and cleaned up.

Details
  • The install path is checked for being a symlink before the orphan marker is written, and the code logs "Not marking a symlinked plugin version: <path>" and stops.
Evidence

Not marking a symlinked plugin version

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