What
When a plugin path supplied by a repository passes through a component Claude Code cannot inspect, the refusal now names "a link or junction whose target does not exist" as a possible cause.
Details
The accompanying hint escapes the plugin name before printing it.
The directory walk behind the check now separates a symlink pointing at a real directory from a redirect encountered on the first path component.
Evidence
a link or junction whose target does not exist
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
