What
The offline reference bundled for claude plugin eval now says image focus files (PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP) are shown to the LLM judge as images, which it previously listed as upcoming. It also documents exit code 2 for hitting the cost ceiling or an auth failure, and 143 for a terminated run.
Details
--jsonruns still write load errors and notices to stderr; this is now stated rather than implied.- Partial runs carry a reason field explaining why they stopped.
Evidence

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