What
When a plugin you have enabled is missing from the local catalog, Claude Code can refresh the catalog automatically. The marketplace (the source the plugin comes from) is now looked up more strictly and by a lowercased name. Whether the plugin qualifies for auto-update now comes from a shared check.
Why
Marketplace names that differ only in capitalisation should now be found. The stricter lookup avoids false matches.
