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 cache cleanup refuses to touch paths it does not recognize

Plugins

Plugin cache cleanup refuses to delete anything outside the plugin cache root.

What

Cleaning up orphaned plugin versions now stops if the target lies outside the plugin cache directory ("Not writing .orphaned_at outside the plugin cache root") or cannot be classified as a plugin version path. Cleanup also keeps directories holding versioned .zip archives instead of deleting them.

Details
  • Runs on every plugin cache garbage collection pass; no gate.
Evidence

Not writing .orphaned_at outside the plugin cache root

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