Unclear Whether the new warning lists every unknown key or still shortens the list in another way is not known.

What

A plugin's hooks.json file sets up its hooks, scripts that run at certain moments. When the file has keys Claude Code does not recognise, it warns that they are ignored. That warning used to list a fixed number of keys and then say "and N more"; that wording is gone, and the list is now built a different way.

Why

This changes what plugin authors see in the warning.
