What probably matters to youSection of the release
What
Previously, the CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_DIR_WATCH environment variable was combined with an internal condition using AND logic, so it could only turn plugin directory watching off, never force it on. Now, when the variable is set, it stands alone and fully decides whether watching is enabled; the internal condition is only used as a fallback when the variable isn't set.
Why
This means setting CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_DIR_WATCH can now enable plugin directory watching even in cases where the internal check would have kept it off, not just disable it.
