The bundled Claude Test plugin's subagents gained explicit names, a stricter tool allowlist, and a clearer error message

What

  • The explorer subagent is now explicitly barred from the mcp__plugin_claude-test_browser__claude_test_allow MCP tool, on top of its existing Read/Grep/Glob-only restriction.
  • The author and runner subagent definitions both gained an explicit name field (author and runner respectively) in their frontmatter.
  • The runner's "browser helper not loaded yet" fallback message was replaced with a static, more actionable error that names a likely cause: a duplicate, non-built-in Claude Test plugin.

Why These changes make the plugin's subagents more predictable (the explorer can no longer reach a browser-allow tool it shouldn't need) and easier to identify and debug (explicit names, a clearer failure message) when something goes wrong.
