A new internal check consolidates several conditions that decide whether plugins count as effectively enabled
Claude Code now uses a single combined check to decide whether plugins are effectively enabled, folding together several existing conditions: an internal capability check, whether everything is disabled, whether hooks (automated scripts that run on events) are disabled, and whether the setup is management-only. This feeds into the existing security-default calculation.
This is an internal consolidation of logic that previously existed as separate checks. It should not change behavior on its own, but it centralizes how Claude Code decides when plugin-related security defaults apply.
The finding does not say what `M7e()` checks or what visible effect the consolidation has for users.
