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 update failures now tell you the exact command to rerun.

claude plugin update
What

For plugins that come from a command, update failures now separate a plugin the background update skipped but that a per-session re-resolve may still pick up, from one that is genuinely inactive, and print the exact plugin update command to run yourself.

Details
  • Whether the per-session re-resolve happens is itself conditional, and the messaging says so rather than promising it.
Evidence

it is left to the per-session re-resolve (when that is enabled) or an explicit update

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