What
The plugin publish flow gains two new named states, publish_rate_limited and publish_contract_rollout, which are also folded into a broader status set used elsewhere in Claude Code.
Why
This lets Claude Code distinguish a publish attempt that was throttled for making too many requests from one that is being held back for a staged contract rollout, giving clearer feedback when publishing a plugin doesn't go through immediately.
