What

Plugins are add-ons that extend Claude Code. When enabling or disabling one fails, the result used to hold only an error code and a message. It now also includes:

  • governingScope, which settings level controls the plugin
  • disableFirst, whether something must be disabled first
  • dependencies, the plugins involved

Enabling and disabling also run a new step beforehand, and disabling now looks up the plugin's canonical id (its one official name).

Why

Programs that manage plugins can react to a failure, for example by disabling a dependency first, instead of only showing a message.
