You'll notice
Plugin symlink handling now verifies file identity with a stat check, not just a path check
What
When Claude Code sets up a plugin's symlinks (shortcuts that point to another file), it now checks that the symlink and its resolved target are actually the same file, by comparing their inode and device numbers (low-level filesystem identifiers). A symlink is now rejected if it points somewhere different than it appears to resolve to, or if this identity can't be verified at all.
Why
This closes a gap where a symlink could pass an earlier path-based check while actually opening a different file than expected, tightening protection against symlink-based tricks in plugin packages.
