Eval scaffolding refuses to create files outside a plugin or skill folder unless you pass --eval-dir.

claude plugin eval init--eval-dir
What
Running eval scaffolding outside a plugin or skill folder now errors and exits 1 instead of creating files where they do not belong, unless you pass --eval-dir. Output directories are also vetted: a symlinked base is refused, and when ownership vetting is on, so is a directory owned by another user.
Details
- The refusal is recorded as
cwd_not_a_plugin. - Path checks throw an escape error rather than silently writing outside the intended base.
Usage
claude plugin eval init --eval-dir ./evalsEvidence
is not a plugin or skill folder
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
