What

When a client changes the session working directory, plugin and MCP configuration is re-read for the new location. Servers whose config no longer applies are marked stale and their cache cleared, then servers reconnect or disconnect with the reason set_cwd.

Details
  • Plugins are re-applied without installing anything staged.
  • Failure here is non-fatal: it logs set_cwd: re-homing plugins/MCP for the new directory failed (continuing) and the directory change stands.
  • Unguarded; applies to everyone on this build.
Evidence

set_cwd: re-homing plugins/MCP for the new directory failed (continuing)

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