If it did, the reload is aborted with an error instead of being committed.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis prevents Claude Code from swapping in a set of reloaded hook modules against an environment that no longer exists, which could otherwise leave plugins in a broken or inconsistent state after a crash during reload.\n\n- Area: Plugins\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
