What

The message now says the session is still fetching plugins or cannot reach their marketplace, and points at /reload-plugins to see what loaded.

Details
  • Artifact reads through the session gateway gained a relay_not_served refusal alongside the existing refused and unauthorized cases.
Evidence

/reload-plugins shows what loaded.

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

Names in the bundle/reload-plugins
Since it was published

The entry above is what we published on the day. These lines were added later, as Anthropic's own pages caught up, and they sit beside the original rather than replacing it.

Added since A small documentation edit on Push events into a running session with channels touched a line naming /reload-plugins after this was published. When the install asks for an installation scope, choose the user scope option so the plugin is available across all your projects. Check the install summary: if it reports `Run /reload-plugins to activate.`, see [Apply plugin changes witho… channels see the edit
Confirmed since Anthropic's documentation has since written up /reload-plugins, on Claude Code changelog. * Improved `/plugin`: installing, enabling or disabling a plugin now takes effect when you close the menu; `/reload-plugins` is no longer needed afterwards changelog see the edit
