Plugins can fetch a URL, and restarts must be typed as /restart

Plugins gain a way to fetch a URL, and Claude Code refuses to restart itself unless you type /restart

What probably matters to youSection of the release
What

Two separate changes:

  • Plugins (add-ons that extend Claude Code) can now ask Claude Code to fetch a web address through a capability called http.fetch.
  • Claude Code will not restart itself automatically. Unless the restart was typed in, it stops with the message "Can't restart automatically. Type /restart at the prompt."
Why

The first gives plugins more they can do. The second means a restart only happens when you ask for it yourself with /restart.
