Before, it could log an out-of-date value instead. `--remote` is a deprecated alias for `--cloud`.\n\n- `plugin_publish` has been added to the list of plugin operation names Claude Code knows. Plugins are add-ons that extend Claude Code.\n\n**Why**\n\nThe log message for a failed `--remote` sign-in setup now helps you see what went wrong. The new operation name points to a way of publishing plugins.\n\n- Area: Plugins\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
