What
Claude Code can reload a plugin's hooks (scripts that run automatically at certain points, like before a tool call) without restarting. Previously this hot-reload only triggered when the managed policy settings changed. It now also triggers when user settings change, if doing so moves a setting between the managed and user configuration tiers.
Why
This closes a gap where changing where a setting lives (for example, moving it from user-level to managed-level) could leave plugin hooks out of sync until a restart. Now that kind of change reloads the hooks automatically.
