Before, it read only `serverPluginId`, `marketplaceName` and `installationPreference`.\n\n- An invalid `marketplaceKind` value is ignored, and Claude Code logs 'Ignoring plugin attribution field'.\n\n- `marketplaceKind` now marks prompt commands as coming from a plugin, the same way `serverPluginId` already did.\n\nThe same release also adds a new feature check named `tengu_mighty_thimble`. What it controls is not clear.\n\n**Why**\n\nClaude Code can now tell which kind of marketplace a plugin or plugin command came from. This makes no visible difference to how you install or use plugins.\n\n- Flag `tengu_mighty_thimble`: Not enough to say (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.311; this account: no value returned, anonymous baseline: no value returned, compiled default: on) These values were read against a different version of Claude Code, so treat them as the nearest reading available instead of one taken on this release.\n- Area: Plugins\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
