What
A cloud session is a Claude Code session that runs on Anthropic's servers. When the folder such a session syncs contains your Claude settings, Claude Code used to say that your plugins were not used for that reason. That case now shows the general message saying it could not check your plugins.
Why
You now get less specific guidance in this case. If your plugins are missing from a cloud session, check whether the synced folder contains your Claude settings.
