Plugin manager waits for pending toggles and clarifies when changes apply

The plugin manager now waits for enable/disable actions to finish and tells you if changes apply immediately or need a reload

What

  • Closing the plugin manager menu after toggling plugins used to show a static reminder message immediately. Now it tracks in-flight enable/disable promises and, if any are still pending, waits for all of them to settle before returning to the menu, instead of firing the reminder text before the toggle finished.
  • The reminder text is now conditional on a new changesApplyOnClose flag: when set, plugin-enable confirmations say the change applies as soon as the menu closes; otherwise they still tell you to run /reload-plugins.
  • The installed-plugins management screen now receives this changesApplyOnClose prop, wired to the same "needs refresh" state used for the reload prompt.

Why This avoids showing a misleading confirmation before a plugin toggle has actually finished, and makes clear whether you need to run /reload-plugins or the change already took effect.

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 since A small documentation edit on Week 32 · August 3–7, 2026 touched a line naming /reload-plugins after this was published. <div>Plugins you install from <a href="/docs/en/plugins/install#install-a-plugin"><code>/plugin</code></a> activate in the current session when it's safe to do so; the install summary reports <code>Plugin is now active.</code> or tells you… whats-new/2026-w32 see the edit
Confirmed since Anthropic's documentation has since written up /reload-plugins, on Push events into a running session with channels. If the install summary reports `Run /reload-plugins to activate.`, you don't need to act on it here, because restarting in the next step picks up the plugin. channels see the edit
