It normalizes SCP-style syntax and strips a trailing `.git` before checking.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis gives Claude Code a way to detect wildcard patterns in marketplace source addresses, which other logic can use to handle or reject such patterns appropriately.\n\n- Area: Plugin Install\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
