What
Running an evaluation case now resolves the nearest plugin or skill folder first and refuses if that folder is not loaded and trusted. A second new check catches a plugin whose cached version directory is not a directory at all and tells you to fix it or reinstall.
Details
Both refusals go through a shared message builder, so the wording is consistent.
The directory check fires when the expected version folder is a file or a dangling link.
Evidence
plugin eval: case inside an untrusted plugin/skill folder refused
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
