What
When installing a plugin or accepting a marketplace review, Claude Code now checks first whether the plugin's identifier already ends with the @npm marketplace suffix. If it does, both flows stop immediately instead of trying to resolve or accept a marketplace entry for it.
Why
This avoids redundant or incorrect marketplace lookups for plugin names that are already fully qualified with their npm marketplace suffix.
