Unclear It is not clear what the formatter does to the names or when each formatting is chosen.

What

When Claude Code updates plugins, it lists which marketplaces failed or were refused and which plugins failed. Those names now go through a formatting step before they are shown, instead of appearing exactly as stored. Which formatting is used depends on the situation.

Why

In practice, the names you see in an update summary may not match the raw names exactly, possibly when the output is going somewhere other than your terminal.
