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.

Plugin sync rounds are traced and report whether anything changed

Under the hood
Useful1 Signal2
Plugins

Each plugin sync round is traced and reports whether anything was actually downloaded or removed.

What

A sync round now returns whether it downloaded or removed anything, and closes a plugins_sync_round trace on every exit: gate closed, policy pending, listing failed, download failed, unexpected error, root refused, or success.

Details
  • The no-change path also rewrites the plugin record when a plugin's marketplace name or installation preference changed, not only when stale directories were swept.
Evidence

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