When Claude Code finds an item that a plugin provides by that plugin's name, it now compares enabled plugins using a name built from both the plugin's name and where it came from. Before, it compared the bare name only.\n\n**Why**\n\nTwo plugins with the same name from different sources are less likely to be mixed up with each other.\n\n- Area: Plugins\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
