What
A plugin can be installed from GitHub, from a git URL, or from a subfolder of a git repository. When that source did not name a specific commit, Claude Code now records the commit it actually fetched, once it confirms the source still points there. Before, only plugins from claude.ai had a version recorded.
Why
The installed plugin is tied to a known point in its history, which makes it easier to know exactly which code you have.
