Unclear What the new preparation step does, and so whether any script now loads or is skipped differently, is not known.

What

When Claude Code loads workflow scripts, from plugins or from folders it scans, it checks the information at the top of each script and skips scripts where that information is invalid, with a warning that the script "has invalid meta". The script text now passes through an extra preparation step before that check. The warning is unchanged.

Why

This can change which workflow scripts load and which are skipped.
