Source Intelligence

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.

Plugin registry file migrates in both directions

You'll notice
Useful3 Signal2
Plugins

Your installed plugins survive both upgrading and downgrading now, thanks to two-way registry renaming.

What

Startup now handles the plugin registry being named either way, renaming installed_plugins_v2.json back to installed_plugins.json as well as upgrading an older V1-format file, so downgrading and upgrading no longer strands your installed plugins.

Details
  • The plugin count is logged when a V1 file is converted.
  • Once done, an installedPluginsMigrated marker prevents the work repeating.
Evidence

Renamed installed_plugins_v2.json to installed_plugins.json

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