What
When the background worker that runs hooks (small scripts triggered by events) misses its heartbeat past a timeout, Claude Code now logs which plugin is most likely to blame, along with the evidence for that conclusion, before declaring the worker wedged (stuck).
Why
This makes it easier to diagnose which plugin caused the hooks worker to hang, instead of only knowing that something went wrong.
