Separately, when installing a plugin from a marketplace entry, the code now reuses an already-resolved registry lookup to find the marketplace directory instead of performing a second, separate lookup.\n\n**Why**\n\nThese are internal groundwork changes; the `preview` option's effect isn't described, and the marketplace-lookup change is a small efficiency cleanup rather than a behavior change.\n\n- Area: Plugins\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
