What
Plugin loading now tracks whether each entry is enabled, so a missing plugin path, a manifest that fails to load, a failed copy into the version cache or a failed download only surfaces an error when the plugin is actually turned on. Plugins you disabled stop producing noise about failing to load, while enabled ones report as before.
Details
- The disabled check matches on the manifest name as well as the path, and honours plugin content authored in the repository itself.
- Applies unconditionally in the session plugin loader, with no flag or setting to turn it off.
- Loaded plugins can now also carry a server-issued plugin id.
- When a plugin installed through a command has a missing cache entry and background command execution is switched off, the error names the real update command for that plugin,
claude plugin update <plugin>@<marketplace>, falling back to the generic form when the plugin's marketplace is not known. - Credentials are now passed through the path that copies a plugin into the version cache, so authenticated sources copy rather than fail.
Evidence
Skipping load-failure error for disabled plugin, claude plugin update <plugin>@<marketplace>
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
