Plugin skill loading now also receives the plugin's own name

What

When Claude Code lists what a plugin provides - its commands, agents, skills, hooks, and MCP servers - the function that loads the plugin's skills now also receives the plugin's name, in addition to the skill file path(s) it already received.

Why

Passing the plugin name alongside its skill paths likely lets the skill loader associate skills with the plugin they came from, though the finding doesn't specify what this enables in practice.
