What
Claude Code can now generate a human-readable explanation of why its internal set of hooks (scripts that run automatically at certain points, often added by plugins) was recalculated ("refolded"). The explanation names which plugin's hooks changed and how — for example, loaded fresh, added to, or removed from the set — or notes that a plugin crashed leaving work withheld, or that the order of the kept modules changed.
Why
This makes it easier to understand, when debugging, why the active set of hooks changed rather than just seeing that it did.
