What
The plugin Directory is the online catalog Claude Code reads to find plugins (add-ons).
- A failed or backed-off fetch now carries
laterMayHelp, saying a later retry might work. - Failed fetches record
failedAtandserviceDelayMs. A new helper returns the last failure withclosesAt,reason,failedAtandserviceDelayMs, and returns nothing once its window has expired. - Successful fetches are marked with
walkedandwalkStarted. - Loading returns
notInstallablefor each plugin that cannot be installed. - When only the copy saved on your machine answered, loading returns an error: "only the list saved on this machine answered, not the Directory itself". Before, only a marketplace switch required a fresh read.
Why
Plugin screens can tell you whether trying again is worthwhile and why a plugin cannot be installed, instead of silently using a stale saved list.
