What

Plugins installed by running a command are now left out of the normal plugin autoupdate pass and refreshed by a separate background job that re-runs the command you accepted. If the marketplace's command no longer matches the one you consented to, the refresh blocks with an explanation instead of running it. On by default via tengu_plugin_command_source_refresh; managed settings can also disable it, in which case those plugins are simply skipped.

Details
  • the autoupdate telemetry event now carries command_plugins_refreshed and command_plugin_refresh_failed counts
Evidence

Plugin autoupdate: command-source refresh disabled by tengu_plugin_command_source_refresh (still excluding command-sourced plugins from the regular pass), Plugin autoupdate: skipped (auto-updater disabled)

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