What
Claude Code watches plugin files for changes and shows a reload notice when they change. This watcher now knows whether a turn (one round of Claude responding) is currently running: changes detected during a turn are held and only flushed once the turn ends, instead of firing immediately. A new 'burst' debounce tier has also been added alongside the existing 'storm' and per-change debounce levels, which control how changes are batched together.
Why
Holding notifications until a turn finishes avoids interrupting an in-progress response with a plugin reload notice, and the added debounce tier gives finer control over how bursts of file changes are batched.
