What

Plugins are add-ons for Claude Code, listed in marketplaces (catalogs you can browse and install from). Two related pieces around a policy-controlled catalog, whose list of entries is catalogEntryNames, are added:

  • The plugin browse screen now sets a flag while loading a marketplace's plugin list whenever plugins are skipped. That happens when entries are filtered out, or when the policy catalog lists more entries than the marketplace returns. Before, skipped plugins were silently dropped.
  • Installs started from the browse screen now tell the install step surface: "browse".
  • A new per-host state class adds fields including nameRegistration, catalogEntryNames, reviewerMarkedEntryNames, isAccessAllowed and marketplaceEnabled.
  • A new check is true only when nameRegistration === "built-in", access is allowed, and the plugin's name is in the catalog. In this build nameRegistration is never set, so this check always returns false.

Why

The browse screen now keeps track of plugins it hides instead of dropping them without a trace, which makes a later notice about hidden plugins possible. The built-in catalog state does nothing yet.
