When a response is still being generated, Claude Code now shows: \"Plugin changes apply when the current response finishes (`\/reload-plugins` is queued).\"\n\n**Why**\n\nThis makes it clear that plugin changes made mid-response aren't lost or ignored; they're just waiting for the current response to finish before `\/reload-plugins` applies them.\n\n- Area: Plugins\n- Names: `\/reload-plugins`\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
