Unclear It's unclear what effect removing the guardHeldByAdmin check has on plugin hook loading behavior in practice.

What

When Claude Code filters which plugin hooks to load, the options it passes no longer include a guardHeldByAdmin field, which was previously computed via a helper function. The filter now only considers hooksDisabled, managedOnly, allDisabled, and builtinsOnly.

Why

Removing this check changes what conditions can affect whether plugin hooks load, though the finding doesn't specify the practical effect of dropping the admin-hold check.
