Unclear What a user sees during this recovery, and whether anything switches it on or off, is unclear.

What

Hooks are commands Claude Code runs automatically at set moments, and plugin hooks run in a separate background process. When that process crashes, Claude Code can now unload the crashed environment and replace the process with a new one.

Why

This gives Claude Code a way to recover when the process running plugin hooks dies.
