Internal ChangesSection of the release
Plugin resolution now distinguishes 'sync-attributed' plugins, which carry attributedMarketplaceName, serverPluginId, and installationPreference, from plain --plugin-dir copies. Each is checked against managed settings through a new admission function, and duplicate managed-plugin claims across session and synced copies are dropped. When an organization's managed settings restrict to hooks-only via allowManagedHooksOnly, admitted-by-lock plugins are now tagged with a managed-hooks-restricted warning.
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 sinceA small documentation edit on Customize your status line touched a line naming allowManagedHooksOnly after this was published.The same trust, `disableAllHooks`, and [`allowManagedHooksOnly`](/docs/en/settings-reference#allowmanagedhooksonly) gates that apply to `statusLine` apply here. Plugins can ship a default `subagentStatusLine` in their [`settings.json`](/do…statuslinesee the edit
