Seen hints are deduplicated in new session state (seenHintPluginIds, capped at 64) and logged via tengu_plugin_hint_seen with a hashed plugin id; the stripping itself always runs, and only the telemetry/tracking side is skipped in restricted environments.
Embedded <claude-code-hint> payloads of type 'plugin' are validated against a name@marketplace pattern: malformed ones are dropped with a warning, and overly long hint lines are also dropped rather than parsed.
