What
When publishing a plugin, Claude Code shows a progress list of steps such as 'bundle' and 'upload'. Previously, the 'upload' step was always shown after 'bundle', even if there was nothing new to upload. Now that step is left out when the plugin's content was already uploaded via sync (uploadedBySync).
Why
This keeps the progress display accurate: it no longer implies an upload is happening when the plugin's files are already synced and there's nothing left to send.
