What
When Claude Code provisions the binary files a plugin declares it needs, it now runs a single combined check covering schema validation, marketplace trust, and feature availability, rather than running those three checks separately.
Why
This is an internal simplification of the gating logic before a plugin's binary assets are set up; it doesn't change what gets checked, just how the checks are organized.
