What
A plugin is an add-on package that extends Claude Code. Several things a plugin can start now remember which plugin started them:
Scheduled (cron) tasks keep an optional plugin field. It is saved with the task, kept when tasks are restored or taken over, shown in the task list and sent on the SDK event. A task whose stored plugin name breaks the naming rule is skipped. When the task fires it passes scheduledByPlugin.
Monitor task notifications record scheduledByPlugin. Housekeeping notices such as WebSocket closed or Monitor stopped are held back while that plugin is active, instead of always being queued straight away.
Handback results from a hook, which is code a plugin runs at set moments, now include plugin: hookCaller when a plugin called the hook and hookServesModel is not set.
The tool context also exposes hookServesModel and pluginUnnamed.
Why
Work a plugin starts can be traced back to that plugin, and monitors scheduled by a plugin no longer interrupt with routine notices while the plugin is running.
