Anthropic's notes

Upstream's own release notes for v2.1.295 name something this entry names, so the two are probably about the same change. Probably: the pairing is made on a shared name rather than on the words around it.

Added a warning to claude plugin install, enable, disable and marketplace add when the settings file they write to does not load
Fixed plugin install and uninstall at project or local scope on Windows missing the install record, or adding a second one, when only the drive letter's case differs

The GitHub issue this fixes

#92121Project-scope plugin installs are auto-created, never updated, and unreachable via --scope project (Windows drive-case duplicates) Open

A model matched these issues to Anthropic's notes, so a link can be wrong.

Is this right?
