Before this change, a record was only used when its project path matched exactly.\n\nOn Windows, Claude Code now falls back to a record in two cases:\n\n- The record's path is spelled differently from the current one.\n\n- The record comes from another checkout of the same repository.\n\nThe fallback is logged.\n\n**Why**\n\nPlugins that are installed should no longer show as uninstalled on Windows just because the project path is written another way.\n\n- Area: Windows\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
