Plugin install error for missing scope now explains access is usually granted automatically instead of telling you to relaunch

What

When a plugin installed from claude.ai can't be downloaded because the account doesn't yet have plugin access (scope), Claude Code used to tell the user to start Claude Code interactively. The message now instead explains that access is usually granted automatically within a few hours and suggests trying again later.

Why

The old message implied there was an action to take (relaunching interactively) when the real fix was simply waiting for access to propagate. The new wording sets the right expectation and avoids sending users down an unnecessary troubleshooting step.
