What probably matters to youSection of the release
What

The plugin directory is now handled as a marketplace in its own right. A marketplace is a catalogue Claude Code installs plugins from. The changes:

  • /reload-plugins can fetch the directory's catalogue when it is missing.
  • Refreshing all marketplaces, or just this one, now handles it.
  • Auto-update cannot be turned off for it.
  • Its status shows as blocked when a policy blocks it.
  • Installing or enabling one of its plugins is checked against the commit the directory lists. A commit is one exact saved version of the plugin's code.
  • Plugins record which directory repository they came from.
  • Marketplace refresh errors carry reason codes such as manifest_missing and manifest_invalid.
Why

Plugins from the directory are tied to one reviewed version, so a plugin is not installed or enabled if its code does not match what was listed.
