Unclear It is not clear whether this lookup is reachable in released builds yet.

What

Claude Code has a new way to look up a plugin in the plugin directory marketplace, a public catalogue of plugins. It is used when switching, installing or updating plugins. A lookup can find a plugin not read, listed, or hidden by policy.

If reading the directory fails, work that runs without a person present does not retry for a while. The message names the time when the directory can be asked again.

Why

This affects how plugin installs and switches are matched against the directory.
