What

Several small checks are tighter:

  • The Brief tool now checks its attachments again at the moment it runs, not only beforehand, and refuses any that fail.
  • Settings that come from plugins are dropped, with a note in the log, when no enabled plugin supplies any.
  • Agent definitions (descriptions of helper agents Claude can hand work to) found in a folder you have not marked as trusted are now skipped as a whole. Before, only their hooks were skipped.
Why

These close small gaps where an attachment or an untrusted agent definition could slip through.

The writer flagged doubtWhether the skipping of untrusted-folder agent definitions is reachable in this build is not known.
