Unclear When the listing counts as not fresh, and when the fewer-copies case arises, is not settled.
What
When you install a plugin (an add-on package for Claude Code) or switch it to a different marketplace, Claude Code now refuses in three new cases:
- A switch is requested while copies are already installed and the list of installed copies is not fresh. You see
Plugin "<name>" was not switched.followed by details. - A plugin id among the plugin and its dependencies is not valid. This is caught before any settings are written.
- Fewer copies are installed than were shown.
Before, only two other checks guarded replacing a plugin.
Why
Switching a plugin to another marketplace now stops safely instead of acting on an out-of-date list of installed copies.
Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
