Unclear Whether a plugin with conflicting manifests still loads and works is not shown.
What
A plugin is an add-on to Claude Code, and a marketplace is a list of plugins you can install from. When both a plugin's plugin.json file and its marketplace entry list the plugin's components, Claude Code reports that the plugin "has conflicting manifests". Before, that stopped the load and returned the error. Now the error is added to a list of errors for that plugin and the loader returns the plugin. After loading, Claude Code also records which plugins were synced, merged or demoted.
Why
Plugin load problems show up as errors attached to the plugin rather than as a single failure.
