What
When a plugin's dependencies (other plugins it needs) cannot be satisfied, Claude Code shows an error. The messages for a version conflict, a missing matching version tag and an unresolved dependency have changed:
dependency and marketplace names are cleaned of unsafe characters and quoted, instead of being inserted as they are
version ranges are checked before they are shown
long lists are cut short and end with "and N more"
Why
A marketplace controls the names it publishes. Cleaning them before printing stops a deliberately crafted name from messing with what your terminal displays.
