Claude Code now passes its value through a normalizing step before using it, both from managed settings and from seat settings. Before, the value was used exactly as given.\n\nSeparately, the \"Connection to the API was lost\" error now starts with a different shared prefix.\n\n**Why**\n\nThe marketplace allowlist may now be read slightly differently, for example with entries tidied into one form.\n\n- Area: Plugins\n- Names: `strictKnownMarketplaces`\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: org\n- Heads-up: no"}
