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.

The plugin panel explains autoupdates that were skipped or blocked

Plugins

The plugin panel now explains updates skipped for a header command or blocked by policy.

What

Two new plugin error states appear: one for an update skipped because it would have run a local header-minting command, and one for an update refused by managed policy. Both show their own message and offer no fix suggestion.

Details
  • The internal names are autoupdate-deferred-entry-helper and autoupdate-disabled-by-policy.
  • The autoupdate notifier now dedupes and clears these per error rather than by comparing whole lists, so a repeated skip does not re-notify.
  • The log line now reads "skipped (pinned, deferred or refused)".
Evidence

autoupdate-deferred-entry-helper

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