Claude Code v2.1.251 28 Aug 2026

Plugin copies drop symlinks whose target cannot be trusted

You'll notice

Useful2 Signal1

Plugins

Plugin copies skip symlinks whose targets cannot be verified.

What

When copying plugin directories outside the marketplace-publish path, a symlink whose chain of targets cannot be verified as trusted is now dropped and logged instead of being copied along.

Details

The marketplace-publish branch of the copy keeps its own handling; this covers every other copy.

Evidence

copyDir: dropping a symlink whose target chain cannot be trusted

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

Other releases about the same thing. Found by shared names or similar wording; neither means one caused the other.
