If a synced plugin's folder no longer exists, Claude Code now checks the sync manifest, a record of where synced plugins were placed, for the folder that replaced it and loads the plugin from there. Before, it skipped the plugin with a \"Plugin path does not exist\" message.\n\n**Why**\n\nPlugins that have been moved are less likely to stop working.\n\n- Area: Plugins\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
