Unclear The finding does not say what directoryIdentityChanged means or whether either field is shown to the user.

What

Plugins are add-ons that extend Claude Code, and Claude Code can update them automatically. The result of an automatic update pass now has a directoryStuck field. It is set when a plugin from @anthropic-plugin-directory failed to update and the failure had no "not found" or "not cached" code and no reason it was blocked.

The result also gains a directoryIdentityChanged field. The tengu_plugin_autoupdate_pass event, a usage report sent when an update pass runs, now includes extra fields.

Why

A directory plugin that keeps failing to update for no stated reason can now be picked out from the ordinary, explained failures.
