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.

A failed plugin install rolls back instead of leaving a half-written cache

Plugins

A failed plugin install rolls back instead of leaving a broken cached version behind.

What

Plugin extraction and version caching now wrap dependency install, manifest write and cache promotion in a single try/catch with an explicit rollback, so a failure discards the staged directory rather than leaving a broken cached version behind.

Details
  • The versioned-cache helper takes a linkFarm option derived from the plugin source; that branch depends on the existing plugin-cache predicate.
Evidence

linkFarm

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