What probably matters to youSection of the release
What
Plugin function hooks are pieces of plugin code that Claude Code calls at certain points. A capability called plugin_function_hooks_selection_read has been added to the list of names they can use. Claude Code also gained a new kind of internal control message, sent from the client to the loop that runs the conversation.
Why
The capability's name points to plugins reading the user's text selection through function hooks.

Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
The writer flagged doubtWhat this capability allows and what the new control message does are both unclear.
