That check has changed:\n\n- Marker missing: the folder is treated as unmarked.\n\n- Marker unreadable: Claude Code refuses the folder, giving the reason \"unverified\" with the error code.\n\nBefore, a missing marker meant Claude Code set the folder's contents aside and wrote a new marker, and there was no separate case for a marker it could not read.\n\nEach plugin install now also waits for a free slot before unpacking, and gives the slot back when done, so only a limited number unpack at once.\n\n**Why**\n\nPlugin sync now switches itself off for the session rather than writing into a folder it cannot verify.\n\n- Area: Plugins\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: yes"}
