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.\n\n**Why**\n\nThe installed plugin is tied to a known point in its history, which makes it easier to know exactly which code you have.\n\n- Area: Plugins\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
