Claude Code now tracks which UI surfaces a plugin's components render into and can hash a plugin's linked files

What

New internal infrastructure tracks which UI 'surfaces' (such as the desktop app) a plugin's rendered components are attached to, keyed by a client identifier. A related addition computes a content hash covering a plugin's linked files, modules, and runtime limits.

Why

This groundwork lets Claude Code know where a plugin's UI is currently showing and detect when a plugin's linked content has changed, though the finding doesn't specify what feature will consume this tracking yet.
