'claude plugin eval' no longer auto-publishes reports when the run looks machine-launched rather than started by a person

What

The claude plugin eval command normally publishes its report automatically. Now, if the run looks like it was started by another Claude Code session rather than a person directly (detected via the CLAUDE_CODE_CHILD_SESSION environment variable, or CLAUDECODE combined with no interactive terminal), the report is kept local by default instead. The CLI prints a note that --publish-report must be passed explicitly to publish it in that case.

Why

This stops eval reports from being auto-published when Claude Code itself is the one running the eval (for example, as part of an automated or nested workflow), keeping publication reserved for runs a person actually initiated.

The flag server returned on for the one account this site reads, and nothing in this release compiles it off by default. The compiled default is shown below, and says which it is when we cannot read one: a fifth of gates compile in a string or a number rather than on or off, and most published releases have no gate table behind them at all. No client can see what the server returns for your account.
