What
Installed plugin records now carry more git-related metadata, and there's a new way to check consistency across multiple installs of the same plugin.
When resolving an installed plugin's info, the code now also copies over gitCommitSha and a serverPluginId (taken from a claudeaiPluginId field), guarded by path-matching and an id-validity check.
A new helper looks up all installed instances of a named plugin, optionally filtered by scope, and returns their shared gitCommitSha only if every instance is on the same commit; otherwise it returns undefined.
Why
Tracking the exact commit a plugin was installed from, and being able to detect when different installs of the same plugin have drifted apart, helps catch inconsistent or outdated plugin installations.
