What
When the settings file that records a plugin's status is missing, Claude Code used to report the plugin as "off" as soon as the file was confirmed gone. It now requires a second check to pass as well, and reports "unreadable" otherwise.
Why
This should stop a plugin being shown as switched off when Claude Code could not actually tell.
Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
The writer flagged doubt
It is not clear what the second check tests.
