The remote reload_plugins result is now validated with each count treated as optional: if the response includes none of plugins, commands, agents, or mcpServers, the command reports "Reloaded on remote." instead of throwing on a missing array. The remote session init handler reads slash commands, tools, and MCP servers the same defensive way, logging "no" when a count is unknown.
