Before, saving that list always locked the file first, so that two writers could not change it at the same time. Now the save depends on the mode Claude Code is running in:\n\n- In one mode, the save stops early. If the scope is `raw`, it is recorded as skipped.\n\n- Otherwise, the list is written without locking the file.\n\nClaude Code can also now load seed marketplaces, which are marketplaces provided in advance. If a seed is missing, Claude Code shows a warning and carries on.\n\n**Why**\n\nIn practice, saving the marketplace list behaves differently depending on how Claude Code is running. A missing seed marketplace produces a warning rather than an error.\n\n- Area: Plugins\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
