What

A plugin's manifest is the file that describes the plugin to Claude Code. When a manifest cannot be read ("Manifest parse error") or does not pass its checks ("Manifest validation failed"), the error now ends with "(in )", naming the file. Before, the path was not included.

These messages are also allowed to run longer before being cut short, up to 500 or 1000 characters.

Why

If a plugin fails to load, you can go straight to the file that needs fixing.
